Week 3

[grimgrinningghosts]

[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]

Motive: The Mob Song

[rech]

Ladies and gentlemen, a moment of your time, please.

[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.]

[bayoublues]

[Louis is intently staring at Dr. Facilier's head for most of Randall's speech. He only snaps to attention when he mentions--]

A...A m-m-monster?! W...Oh, oh, God!

[Goodbye everyone--there's an empty space where Louis was just a second ago. If you glance back quickly enough, you can see his tail disappearing down the hallway and hear horrified shrieking.]

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Uh huh. [So impressed.]

Its one monster and over twenty of us! Plus, its probably just an abused animal! Little bit of care will probably calm that big guy right down.

[doopdoll]

We've got this! [She thrusts her fist into the air] And if it's mean, I'll just punch it!

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Heck yeah! [High five!] That's the way we do it, son!

[lostbutnotaboy]

Right! There's nothing to worry about with all of us here... right?

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Sure thing! We got more than enough fighters to spare.

[scrapplinghook]

Me and my friends and family beat up an evil triangle space guy who tried to end the world!

[Is Mabel really bragging to a superhero??? Totally.]

A dumb ol' monster is nothing!

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Noice!

[High five the child, always encourage potential new heroes.]

[lovelylilmouse]

[There is a LOT to take in. From the general scenery to the announcement of her another motive, to hearing exactly what the motive is, Minnie puts her hands up to her mouth and takes in a deep breath.]

A-A-A monster....??

[sorrydoods]

Yeah, cause none of us has ever dealt with a monster before.

[Soos lives in Gravity Falls. He's survived Weirdmageddon alone for a couple of days.

You can't scare him with that.]

[nachosquire]

[Marco rolls his eyes, not looking even a little worried.]

You picked the wrong Diaz to deal with a big, spooky monster, guy.

[He brings his arms up, poised for combat.]

I've beat up plenty of monsters before! Plus, there's like, 30 of us to fight it off!

[pinkflip]

Exactly! I used to do that like, every day, we've got this!

Point me at them! [ even the sword ]

[sharpasanarrow]

I'm sure we can have someone take care of the creature.

[Here's looking at you, Gaston.]

[stanbyme]

You’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel already, huh.

[astronomics]

From the sounds of things, I think we'll be just fine.

[ A look Facilier's way. ]

Good to see you're doing well.

[tanukey]

[Just fucking snickering at Facilier's head.]

[That motive though.]

...define "monster" exactly, here.

[faciliheir]

[... yeah okay she shouldn't laugh but it's a head on a stick that's objectively funny.]

Bringing out the fun stuff now, Randy? [and to everyone else:] Okay, show of hands: who's completely fine with making Gaston deal with the monster problem?

[deal with means be sacrificed to right]

[tanukey]

Think we can trade one for the other instead?

[faciliheir]

I'm also down with this entirely fair and even exchange!

[tanukey]

Psh if anything that's pretty unbalanced in our favor.

[upgradeit]

Bonus points if he gets injured doing it.

Re: Motive: The Mob Song

[psychopinesis]

A monster. Really?

[He's not impressed. Fight what he's had to, and see what your opinion of monsters is.]

[not_over_yet]

[ Hearing a human use Ratigan's voice remains highly disturbing. So much so that Basil has a bit of difficulty paying attention to what the motive is--he does manage to pick up the general picture though. While the intention behind this motive could be a compelling one if handled well... ]

A "monster". Bit vague, and frankly underwhelming after last week.

[ ...Not-Ratigan is decidedly not handling it well. (It's a bit of a relief to see Facilier's still around, more or less, and that Freddie seems to be in better spirits about the circumstances.)

All the same, the voice thing is starting to get his fur standing on-end again, so he miiiight just excuse himself a little early. ]
