Week 1

[Well that was a busy day, huh? But despite all that, a good majority of you are reasonable people, and are smart enough to find an escape without resorting to deadly violence. Maybe if you put your heads together, you'll find a way to get out of here! After all, the host is practically in shambles already, what can he do?

The whole first floor of the manor is open for your leasure now, with the only change being that there's now a set of rules in the foyer hanging on the wall.

Let the games begin.]

[MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[It's been a really long week for everyone, he's certain. Every area had at least one act of vandalism, most of the kitchen utensils had gone missing, there was potential bloodshed around the corner...

Anyway, he's sitting in the foyer with a table all set up and full of freshly baked brownies for people to have. Take as much as you like! He got inspired by Louis and him making a batch the other day, and he might as well get to know the rest of the residents better if they stop by.

After awhile, he can be found flying on a broomstick pretty fast around the place. He might stop every now and then to clean up any damage in the hallway and wax museum that might harm the kids. Lekmet doesn't feel particularly talkative today, but if anyone seems friendly or approachable enough, he'll wave and check on how they're doing!

Stick around him long enough and he'll be found ~~sound asleep~~ meditating in the projector room, huddled in the far corner for some warmth.]

[Honestly, Marco had been avoiding Lekmet this week... not because he's a big goat man and it's hard to approach him or something like that, and not because he didn't get along with him back home either. More because.... well, Lekmet is supposed to be dead. And Marco's been trying to wrap his brain around why he's here, now. He seems to be solid.. he's seen him eat various times throughout the week and fly around.. so maybe he's a zombie? But then that leaves him to wonder why they'd bring Lekmet back from the dead just to be part of this weird situation where they're forced to kill each other to leave.

Either way he can't just ignore him forever, especially since he's technically the only familiar face to Marco here despite not really having met face-to-face. So when Marco finds him meditating in the projector room, he walks over and takes a seat next to him, crossing his legs underneath him.]

So... hi! I don't know if you remember me, y'know.. the guy in Star's song during Song Day? Hahah.. yeah uh.... anyway, how's-- how's it going?

[Totally not awkward at all.]

[At the somewhat familiar voice, the goat man snaps awake and peers next to him. It's him! From Song Day! He remembered that like it was yesterday.]

Aa-aah!

[He simply does a thumbs up gesture whiiiich then morphs into an, 'okay, maybe somewhat fine', with the murder stuff happening. 'What have you been up to?' he writes in a notepad and shows it to Marco.]

Oh!

[Marco exclaims at the notepad being shoved towards him, and he picks up the pen and starts to write before he looks up at Lekmet and lets out an awkward laugh.]

I, uh.. don't need to write.

[Just. Gonna put that pen back down.

...and pick it back up to scribble the start of his sentence. Then put it back down.]

I've been going around gathering information about everyone here. Maybe someone else knows something about what's going on or knows a way out of here or something? And... with all the murder talk I kind of want to be prepared if anyone actually tries to kill me.

So I've been trying to figure out weaknesses and stuff.

[He nods solemnly in understanding. There's probably a handful of people he expects to make a move, and lets hope it wasn't towards either of them.

Lekmet draws something pretty quickly in his notepad- 'Where's Star?' he writes below a sketch of Star Butterfly's wand. From what he last remembers her wand looking like, there was a pretty important piece missing.]

Aa-aaa-aaa.

[With the two of them being pretty close ~~Song Day or Not~~, he assumes the Princess should be pretty close by.]

[Marco notices that sketch, the fact that it's missing half of the Star and it has Marco immediately recoil, remembering that this goat man.. definitely died before then.

He clears his throat a little bit, before putting on an awkward looking smile.]

I, uh, haven't seen Star yet actually. She's probably looking for me-- us right now. But uhhh.......... well. She actually fixed her wand since you last saw her!

[just tell the man he's dead marco]

So that's pretty cool, right?

[It's fixed? Oh, he knew he could count on the Butterflys. If Star's wand was fixed, so might the whole 'Fritz' issue.

He claps his hooves a bit in excitement and nods, hell yeah it's pretty cool!]

Yaa-aaa-aa!

[It might be safe to assume a lot of time had passed, since the last thing he remembers is-

'Where is Ludo? Is Queen Moon safe?' he writes down. Oh boy this'll be a ride to unravel!]

Moon's fine! She's fine.

[Oh god how is he even going to explain any of this.]

And Ludo's... I'unno. In space somewhere. Floating around, looking for himself out there.

[So Profound.]

Star and I were able to beat Toffy -- well okay, Star did all the work but I punched a hole through his chest which was terrifying, actually.

[Ludo's out of the picture, Toffee's defeated, but he cant help but feel something else happened.

'Glad he's gone. Did you all make it out in one piece? That sounds tough.'

Did someone die.]

Yeah! Yeah.. everything turned out okay.

[This is Rough.]

But there's something I need to tell you, Lekmet. Something... that's gonna be really hard for me to say.

[He's going to brace himself, there has to be a catch to this Victory, even with everyone alive, right? It's fine! It will be Fine.

'I'm listening.']

[Leia's....well, she's tired. She's had a lot of excitement recently, even before all this Phantom Manor nonsense, and what she could really do with is a solid night's sleep...something that's hard to acquire even with a locked door. After all, such a flimsy and old-fashioned mechanical lock could easily be broken or picked. So when she wanders into the foyer, her hair pulled into a simple braid over one shoulder instead of her usual, more ornate coiffure, and sees Lekmet the goat-man sitting there with what looks like baked goods...well, she smiles. It's been awhile since she's head such a simple pleasure as something sweet hot out of the oven.]

Now, this is what I call breakfast. Did you make these yourself?

[He nods and gestures for Leia to take as much as she wants!]

Aa-aa.

[He's...still unable to communicate properly, but that's all his hard work there! With of course, inspiration by Louis from the other time.]

[Encouraged by Lekmet's nod, Leia chuckles and scoops up a brownie into her hand. There's only a moment of hesitation because she's eating something baked by a goat, but her worries seem to be pretty unfounded.]

This is delicious. It's been a good while since I've had something this sweet.
