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]

Oh, those scissors could have been useful last week... [Instead of trying to cut string with glass.]

[athleticallyinclined]

They still will be, my lad.

[ He holds the scissors up, turning them so they catch the light. ]

Imagine how these will look, plunged deep into our host's chest...

[ Gaston no. ]

[used_realtears]

[Noby glances over at the Phantom, who is presumably still at the meeting.] You can't just-just kill him! Plus, he's right here! [Don't talk about your plans to murder/beat up people in front of them!]

[athleticallyinclined]

[ Gaston, still holding the scissors, follows Noby's gaze, looks at the Phantom for a moment, and then shrugs his shoulders in apparent nonchalance. ]

Eh.

[used_realtears]

Aren't you worried?

[athleticallyinclined]

He's the one encouraging us to murder, isn't he?

[used_realtears]

I mean, if you let him know what you're trying to do, it'll make it easier for him to stop you!

[athleticallyinclined]

Stop me?

[ He stares, incredulous. And then he starts to laugh, loud, rollicking laughs that have him doubling over in his chair, tears springing to his eyes. ]

My boy - my boy - [ He reaches out a shaking hand to rest on Noby's shoulder. ] Look at him. And look at me.

Do you really think he could stop me?

[used_realtears]

...he doesn't look that strong, but what if he has weird magic powers?

[athleticallyinclined]

[ He pretends to consider this. ]

Then he likely would have used them to strike me down already, wouldn't he?

[used_realtears]

...maybe...? But it's still kind of risky, right? Plus what if he's one of those creatures that have rules and can only hurt you if you hurt them first?

[athleticallyinclined]

Then he'll never get a chance.

[ This is why rules are for losers. ]

Because he'll already be dead.

[used_realtears]

...those scissors are really small... [Will that even work? (Considering the future, the answer is very likely no.)]

[athleticallyinclined]

Are you questioning my skill?
