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]

[OOC: and don't forget to fill out this week's activity check!]

[So, there's...still not to many interesting things to do here, even with a new floor opened up to them.

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?]

Oh. My. God.

[Louis is...awestruck, to say the least, when he enters the music room. He's practically jumping for joy here.]

This is...incredible! Hey, hey, Soos! You find any trumpets 'round here?!

Uh, haven't seen any yet, but let me check.

[He goes over to the brass section and starts searching, throwing several instruments over his shoulder haphazardly before he's able to find a trumpet. He holds it up for Louis to see.]

This what you were looking for?

YES! Yesyesyesyesyesyes!

[He rushes over to Soos and grabs the trumpet. He inspects it for a few seconds, wiping the dust off of various places and polishing it on his scales. Satisfied with the instrument's condition, Louis puts the trumpet to his lips and blows a simple scale. A few of the notes crack, but it otherwise sounds pretty good.]

Nothin' a lil' valve oil can't fix! Oh, man, I can't wait for everyone to hear this! Hey, hey, do you wanna hear a song? Or do you got a request?

[It's clear that whether or not Soos wants to hear it, Louis is going to play anyways.]

Don't think there's any songs I know that you'd know, but I'd definitely like to hear one!

[Play us a tune, Jazz Ma-I mean Alligator.]

Alrighty-o! One jazzy tune, comin' right up!

[Louis promptly jumps into one of his favorite tunes--Dippermouth Blues. The trumpet is a little too sharp for his liking, and the higher notes have a tendency to crack, but other than that, it's clear that this gator is enjoying himself.

At the end of the song, he does a little bow before inspecting his trumpet again.]

It ain't Giselle, but this'll work fine. Um, you might wanna stand back--what I'm about to do is a lil' gross.

[And he proceeds to empty out the spit valve right onto the ground.]

[Soos definitely does a bit of a dance as Louis plays, getting into the rhythm, and once he's done, he'll clap as well.]

Nice dude! You should play at the next party or something!

[It really was great

Ew, spit.]

I...think you could've done that in the sink or something.

Yeah...yeah! I really oughta do that! Maybe I'll ask around and see if anyone else would like to make a band or somethin'....I think Mr. Arrow might complain, but that's just how he is most of the time. Hey, do you play any instruments?

[He shrugs. ~~most trumpet players dont give a fuck~~] Psh. It's just a lil' spit, it won't hurt anyone.

Hmmm...no, don't think so. But I can learn, or do something that's easier to play. And Mr. Arrow might not be so against it. He just doesn't like singing.

Yeah, it's spit, but it's kinda...gross.

You could do some percussion--it's pretty easy to pick up, s'long as you know how to keep rhythm. The beauty 'bout jazz is you can improvise!

[He lets out a huff.]

You ain't gettin' a full jazz experience without singing, but I'm sure it's fine.

[Carefully, he sticks out his foot and swipes at the spit until it disappears. That's probably more gross than before when it was only in one spot, but Louis probably doesn't realize it.] Is that good?

Yeah, I could definitely keep rhythm. I'd just need a drum or something, right?

And, if we need to, we can just not play near Mr. Arrow or something.

[Good thing Soos is only a little bit more hygienic than Louis.]

Yeah, that's fine.

[if no one knows the spit was there then the floor is perfectly clean]

Yeah! Just, like, a snare drum or somethin'. I can ask Freddie 'bout joinin' too, since she knows how to play. Maybe--ooh, or maybe Mabel? She seemed inclined to make some noise the other week. You know her, right?

[Oh boy!]

Of course I know Mabel! She's one of my best friends back from Gravity Falls! And I'm sure she'll wanna join!

And why not have Freddie too? If she can play instruments, and she's willing, I don't see why we shouldn't have her.

[ ...A plant? Definitely something to catch the eye. ]

Where'd you get that little guy?

Hm?

[Soos looks up from the book, a bit confused for a second before he realizes she's talking about the flower.]

Oh, the flower. He came out of the slot machine. I'm really starting to wonder what's the limit of ridiculous things they can put in there.

[What's next, he's gonna use it and Dipper is just gonna roll out of there?]

You're telling me. Jeez, from cats to plants...

[ There's a rather decorated looking short sword hanging on her belt, too. Tiger-head and all. She spares it a glance. ]

Do you, um...need any help with gardening? I've got a bit of a green thumb myself.

Yeah, actually, that would be pretty nice. I...don't really know much about plants myself, which is why I was reading this book.

[He holds up the book as he says that, showing that it has a sunflower on the front and that it's called 'Ready...Set...Grow!: A Guide to Caring For Plants'.]

Okay! Well, I...haven't really seen one just like this, but I think I can figure it out.

[ Let's save this poor flower. ]

Well. it shouldn't be too hard. It's just a flower. A nice looking flower, but still a flower.

[How though. There's not even sunshine in this place.]

Oh, you never know! Some can be really picky!

[???]

How can a flower be picky?

[They're not really sentient?]

Well, you can't do the exact same thing for every flower and expect it to react the same way! Different amounts of water, or sunlight, or even different kinds of dirt.

Huh, really? Didn't know that.

[Gravity Falls does not teach much in the way of agriculture.]

So, what do you think we should do with it?

Hmm. Let's see...

[ Time to get a closer look. Kim examines the plant, humming lightly. ]

You know, if I had to guess it might be some kind of lily? So we're lucky, those don't need a lot of fertilizer or water. Sunlight might be a bit of a problem, but lilies are pretty tough.

Alright...well, what if we had it under a really bright light and keep it under there? Would that help?
