foolishmortals | ARE YA READY?

[Even with all the commotion, it seems as though a single question has hung over the crowd. Exactly who is responsible for this kidnapping? That single question eventually leads the group to the portrait gallery, where each guest files in and packs the room. Slowly but surely, a strange presence can be felt. The portraits almost look like they’re stretching, and it seems as though they’re moving on their own...

After a few tense moments in complete silent darkness, the lights dim.

You realize there’s a man here. One who wasn’t with you when you came in.

He’s...only barely passing for human. It seems as though he’s falling apart, chunks of skin and bone hanging from his face. His clothes hang from his lanky frame in the same fashion. When he moves about, he audibly clicks and clacks, dragging his leg across the ground in obvious pain.

He smirks, cheekbone exposed, before speaking.]

Au enchanté, Foolish Mortals. A friendly hello from Dr. Facilier, and welcome to Phantom Manor. This home is one steeped in tales of bloodlust, murder and maiming. We’ve brought you here to this house on a haunted hill to continue this tradition, and to appease the terrifying spirit that still lingers here today. The Phantom.

[He smirks, adjusting his hat as he speaks. His shadow moves behind him, disconnected.]

Puttin’ it plainly, friends...you’re here for a blood ritual. Y’all are gonna be stayin’ here for the rest of your lives, unless you manage to kill someone and get away without bein’ caught. Surely some of ya are smart enough to do that.

‘Course, you don’t wanna do it, feel free to stay here for the rest of your horrible lives. But I’ll be sure to make them as miserable as possible till y’all comply.

...Questions?

[... okay, so. like. there's. several things she needs to be concerned about here? so many things are happening at once? like why is he all but he's also so young but like but that was such a good entrance, tho.

okay. we can handle this. this is fine.]

... Dad?

You have an evil parent too?! [this is how she makes all her friends]

Well, yeah, but I wasn't exactly expecting him to be the villain of this. [THIS IS SO BEYOND EMBARRASSING]

It's okay. We'll go easy on him.

Oh, please. I'd be beating him up already if I didn't think it'd mess up my gloves. You can all go right ahead. [just. don't. kill him. thank.]

Hey... What's the heaviest thing in the room? [looking around....]

Louis.

....Do all Terrans have daddy issues, is that just a thing on Earth.

Not your’s, but...I ‘ppreciate the sentiment.

[oh great. time nonsense. the curse of every disney trilogy.]

You're, uh. Looking bad? It's definitely an aesthetic.

I’m all about it, hon. But I’m sure you know that.

All about it. Wicked entrance, by the way. [and that's like half of being a villain right there.]

So. Blood ritual. Not just the normal kind, huh? You have to get away with killing them, too?

Yessire. Sound like a good time?

Sounds way harder than it oughta be, but I guess it'd be pretty boring if it were easy. [shrugs!] Fine. I'll play along 'til the good guys find their way out of here. It's not like anyone here is good enough to get me by then.
