Week 3
[Well, someone took the bait last week, and now two people (if either of them could really be called a person) are dead. Not only that, it seems like your first host is now out of commission and replaced by someone who claims to be The Phantom. While he may not be incredibly worse than Facilier yet, it would be a stretch to say he's an improvement.
But, things aren't all bad! When the guests wake up on Sunday, they will find the stairs in the foyer are now open, leading to a whole new floor to explore!
And there's booze so no one will have to drink vinegar anymore.
28 guests remain]
[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

Sunday
FAMILY MEETING
She's waiting there when people arrive; she's rearranged some chairs into a semi-circle, making it easy for everyone to be seen and heard. When everyone's settled in, she clears her throat.]
Thanks for coming, everyone. Jyn and I got to talking, and we thought it would be a good idea to have a little show-and-tell. We might be able to pool our resources and make some headway on actually getting out of this place.

He considers establishing a set of unique bar-only rules, but, well, you see how well his attempts at establishing order went last time. A plan formulates in his mind, and he begins to attempt to drag one of the tables towards the door.]

After that he's pretty excited to find the artist's studio because now he has actual drawing supplies versus just the pen he had earlier. So now he can do his illustrations in actual color.
...He's venting. It's fine.
In any case, he's in there for the rest of the day, drawing out some of the other people in the manor and a couple of individuals from his home, too. It's not like there's much else he can do.]

The bar has him perusing the alcohol, pulling down various bottles of wine to inspect. The music room is a bit more...sentimental. He gravitates almost directly to the piano, the clear memory of a harpsichord with too many keys missing flooding his mind, and takes a seat on the bench. He touches the keys gingerly, pinging out a few notes before starting to play properly. It's been years since he's played but, as they say, it's like riding a bike.]
[Locked to Leia]
[Beast didn't have much to offer during the meeting but that's not going to stop him from approaching Leia once everyone has dispersed. There are a very things he'd like to discuss, privately.]

Later in the day, she has a bit of a surprise. So the meeting has inspired Kim to go and check out the slot machine once again, since she's got herself a bunch more coins. Maybe...she'll get something nice out of it this time?
Well, it's a toss-up. The VHS makes her mouth go dry, and the Santa coat confuses her. Seriously, why are these in here and why is someone taking from Santa? The last thing she receives... ]
Saba?!
Ah, Kimberly! Pink Ranger! Excuse me, previous Pink Ranger. What a sight you are!
[ Not just a replica actually Saba okay this is...surprising.... ] What in the- Saba what were you doing in there?!
I can't exactly recall. Where was I? This certainly isn't the Power Chamber...
Um. It's. [ She shifts, uncomfortable. He's greeting her with his normal jovial voice so it seems at least Tommy hasn't told his old sword she's a horrible person? Does that make this better or worse, she doesn't know. ] Kind of a long story?
[ ...So feel free to come across Kimberly, talking to a literal short sword. ]

so somewhere around midafternoon bc villains don't get up before lunchtime there's just the fuckin excited screaming of a teenage girl thinking she just found heaven and it looks like a pile of instruments she literally can't decide which one she wants first so she's in the music room holding like an armful of instruments and possibly considering just stealing them.
around when everyone has dinner she's gonna be in the dining room because she has made the conscious decision to force everyone to listen to her play this acoustic guitar she's been tuning all day. actually she's still tuning it. it's annoying. stop her.]

So for the majority of the day, he'll be pretty much anywhere on the second floor, really hoping he'll find some way out.
Near the end of the day, after he's given searching, he'll be back in the casino, because he found some more coins on the second floor, and there's not much else they could be used for. First he'll get a nice flower, then a magic 8-ball, and finally an oddly shaped ice cream sandwich.]
Well, at least not another voodoo doll.

PARTY
So Marco's going to do what he does best and try to bring the mood up a little bit... by cooking. Last week was pizza, this time he decides to take on a bit of a tougher task. Since there's no bags of tortilla chips just laying around this kitchen, he's making some by hand. Because whenever Star's upset, a bowl of his famous Marco's Super Awesome Nachos always cheers her up.
So... he'll be in the kitchen basically all day today, working on these the best he can. You can find a bunch of failed batches tossed though, burnt or crumbly from too much flour and Marco's looking.. pretty damn frustrated as he's cutting out new chips to bake. Muttering under his breath about how it's the 100th chip he's cut out.
But he gets it done eventually! And everyone will find a piece of ripped notepad paper at their doors reading "NACHO NIGHT IN THE DINING ROOM! BRING YOUR OWN DRINKS. (alcohol not allowed there are kids here)"
So, later, when you walk into the dining room you'll find Marco in a nice, new outfit looking proud of the huuuuge bowl of nachos he's made.]
Thanks for coming! I would've made this a movie night but uh, I don't think anyone wants to watch any of those weird movies playing in the other room.

Arts and crafts round 2!
Today, he's redecorating again, since apparently the host doesn't appreciate his attempts at making things look more like home, but this time he's armed with Actual Paint and Actual Paintbrushes. And today, his art isn't confined to his door and he's going to different parts of the living quarters and decorating everything else instead. Feel free to join him or tell him off for vandalism. He doesn't care either way.
Later, after he's sufficiently painted everything (and after a shower), he'll be in the music room, messing around with the instruments. He doesn't know how to play any of them, but it's not stopping him from trying, especially if the instruments have strings.]

So rough, he even spares everyone the sight of him in his underwear this time, wearing his plain t-shirt and jeans.
After leaving enough food for everyone, he goes to the billiards room.]
Been a long time since I've been allowed near one of these.

Yeah, the reality of the situation is weighing on him now.
Still, that new floor gets his attention. He spent the entire Sunday exploring every nook and cranny and found no way out. Figures. On Monday he tries to interact with the stuff.
Music Room
Music would be rather nice, actually. Rémy explores the instruments, walks on the piano keys, and overall seems to like it all, but it's not like he can do much with any of these]
Rats have musical instruments too, but nothing as big as these ones.
[He comments that, pulling from a guitar string and letting it strum. The sound does bring back some fond memories.
The bar is another place he checks. There sure is a lot of booze in here. Rémy takes a bottle of wine and puts it on the counter, lying horizontally and making sure it won't roll down and shatter on the floor. He's examining the cork]
I'm pretty sure it wouldn't take a lot to get me drunk, but if I had a choice I'd go for a wine like this one. This is quality wine!

But the shoe has not dropped yet, so it's time for Jyn Erso to do some recon.
She spends some time in each of the new rooms - plucking (yes, plucking) curiously at a violin in the music room, or appraising the heft and potential swing of a cue in the billiards room, but for the most part the bar seems to be where she settles. Jyn Erso has never been a drinking woman, but after the last few weeks of her life she figures she could use one. She sits there for a while just sort of... slowly sipping the drink and trying not to let on that she isn't actually super into it!!
Oh thank the Force, someone else to talk to. ]
For magical kidnappers, they sure are going out of their way to keep us entertained.
[ Or later on, she's in the art room at one of the canvasses just kind of... sketching? It looks like some kind of weird small rodent with big eyes, but it's definitely not a kind found on anyone's Earth. Her drawing skills are... passable? Passable. ]

Despite this, Soos is still determined to not be bored out his mind. For some of the day, he'll be in the billiards room, playing pool by himself, mostly because he knows how and it's somewhat entertaining.
Later, he's in the music room, trying to play various instruments, with none of them really going very well.
Finally, he'll be in the library, reading again, but this time with a book that's about gardening, with a potted plant nearby with a very pretty flower in it. He just wants to make sure this plant lives, okay?]

Near the evening, she's popped by the slot machine in the casino. She didn't spend much time testing it out, for safety and some other reasons. But, once again, she'd worked herself up to give it a try.
What she gets is... something she doesn't recognize fast enough. She all but flings it at the slot machine as she jumps back.]
No! Not again!

[Later in the day he's in the casino, making use of the slot machine.]
[The newspaper gets flipped through a bit, the spinach puffs set aside and eyed warily, but beyond that-]
Oh hell yes.
[Rocket gleefully picks up the shotgun, testing its weight and bringing it to his shoulder.]
[Clearly this can only end well.]
Wait, is this some kind of slugthrower? Dammit, no ammo-

Motive: The Mob Song
[The announcement rings loud and clear, and everyone will eventually arrive at the portrait gallery. Your new best friend, Randall, is already there. He's got a fairly long walking stick that has Doctor Facilier's very annoyed-looking, still apparently sentient, head mounted on top of it.
An equal partnership, truly.]
Your motive last week was successful. Due to this, we shall continue with our weekly distribution of them.
This week's is much more simple. Should no one commit murder by Thursday night, a monster will be released into this facility. From there, it will proceed to take no prisoners, murdering all who stand in it's way. There is nothing you can do to stop it.
It does present you with a moral dilemma, doesn't it? Perhaps you could kill one person and surrender yourself in order to spare the rest of the group, or perhaps you'll continue to cloak your murder in order to ensure your own survival. Either way, I look forward to seeing how you all respond to this.
[Throughout the week, roaring and bashing against the walls will become considerably louder and louder, reaching a peak on Thursday evening.]

It doesn't his nerves when he pulls the slot machine lever and a creepy-looking voodoo doll and a shadow comes spilling out. The shadow skitters across the floor to rejoin its owner. Louis lets out a high pitched shriek and jumps up onto a nearby table, scattering chips and cards everywhere onto the ground. This is shaping up to be a pretty bad week for him.
Later, he can be heard blasting his trumpet from the music room, trying to focus on the music instead of the ominous noises coming from the walls. Jazz helps to calm him down, and boy, he's going to aggressively attempt to do that!]

FAMILY MEETING AGAIN
After that motive, Marco sends everyone notes under their doors.... again.. but this time it's actually important. ..well, nacho parties are important too but it's really really important.
MEETING IN THE LIBRARY!! BRING WEAPONS AND ANYTHING THAT SEEMS USEFUL TO FIGHT AGAINST A MONSTER!!!
Once everyone is there, or at least a good majority of people, Marco stands up onto a table so he can look down at everyone with excitement in his eyes.]
Okay, thank you all for coming here. I called this meeting to discuss the monster.
[Said in a spooky voice.]
Obviously, we're not going to kill each other to stop it. That would be, like, super dumb. I mean, we've got a lot of people here, and we can't just sit back and let those jerks oppress us and back us into corners so we'll do their stupid..... whatever this all is!
[Marco reaches down underneath his feet, and pulls up a canvas with a random lizard man drawn on it, with a red X over it's face.]
So let's put our heads together and figure out how to stop this monster together!
[He raises the canvas above his head, moving it up and down as he suddenly lets out a chant.]
WE WON'T SLAUGHTER, 'CAUSE WE'RE NOT THE MONSTERS!!

Wednesday

She can found alternatively in the art room and foyer, trying to make and set up paper mache traps that might slow the thing down. The foyer's the biggest room and it sounds like its huge so.... maybe it'll want to be somewhere it can have breathing room? That... makes sense. She's not perfect at paper mache though and her taped paper ropes keep falling apart and getting tangled up in itself.
In the afternoon, she spends her time in the music room. She's really hoping to relax and drown out the noises of terror that surround them. But really, she's just playing the same tune on the piano over and over again. She has a gimmick.]

So she is looking to distract herself today. What better than to spend those coins at the slot machine? Maybe she'll get her old power bow, that'd be handy right about now.
No such luck, but there are some interesting things there, including- ]
Okay, this is just getting ridiculous now. You meet Santa Claus one time...
[ Later in the day, she's bumming around the library, with the notepad she used to communicate last week. Writing...something. Strangely, though he's been on her belt the whole week, the white tiger sword Saba isn't with her. There's been a lot on her mind, since he emerged from the slot machine. Sunday put so many thoughts in her head, and despite the danger, it's what keeps just picking at her.
So she's got a bunch of crumpled up papers around her and a frustrated expression. You may come along when she rips yet another one up and groans, or perhaps in a softer moment, when she's very lightly singing under her breath. ]
But you'll never stand alone, my friend. You'll never stand...
[ It's a sad sound. She sighs. ]
