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]

[ Kim's been looking for Rocket, actually! She has a weird ray gun and her talking sword, and--

Hm. ...Hm. ]

Uhh... Rocket, what've you got there...?

[tanukey]

Some food I dunno if I
trust and some weird Earth propaganda. I think it's from Earth, anyway, pretty sure Quill mentioned this New York place a few times.

[Dot dot dot.]

...oh, you meant this, didn't you. Yeah, it needs work, but it's a gun.

[pinkflip]

'Course I meant the gun. Why the heck did someone put a gun in there?

[tanukey]

Cause they wanted to see someone shot, probably.

[Was that not obvious at this point?]

Joke's on them if they think I'm not just gonna use it on them instead.

[pinkflip]

[ A light wince. ]

With something like that... Looks like it'd pack a punch. You said it needed work, though? What's wrong with it?

[tanukey]

[What, it's been at least two or three days since anyone died.]

Aside from bein' archaic as hell? No ammo or power pack.

[pinkflip]

It doesn't look that old... But then, I don't really know a lot about guns.

[tanukey]

Oh, the make looks new enough, I meant the tech. Looks like it actually uses some kind of physical slug, I didn't think they still did that anywhere.

[pinkflip]

Yes they- oh! You must only have lasers and things like that. Right? I forgot those are probably popular if you're not on Earth.

[tanukey]

Yeah. ...does Earth seriously not?

[pinkflip]

Nope. I mean, not common. Only ones I know of are alien tech.

[tanukey]

...Man, I feel like this really does explain way too much about Quill but I'm not sure what.

[pinkflip]

Who's Quill? A friend of yours? Is he a hedgehog?

[ she couldn't help it ok ]

[tanukey]

...okay you're like the second person to ask that and I dunno what a hedgehog is, but no. He's Terran, human. Went into space as a kid.

[pinkflip]

[ ...A light smile. ] I'll draw you a picture sometime. They've got pointy things called Quills, and- never mind.

You mean he's from Earth? Wow.

[tanukey]

He could definitely be a prick, so I guess that fits.

[He'll have to remember that one if Quill's, you know, still alive.]

Yeah. Which he barely shuts up about, for someone that hasn't seen the place in like- thirty years, I think?

[pinkflip]

That's not too surprising, if it's where he grew up. If he likes it so much, why can't he visit? Is...space travel to Earth hard where you're from?

[tanukey]

I dunno about hard, but it's pretty backwater.

[No offense intended, except it kind of is a little bit.]

You'd have to ask him, I guess. Technically he's the one that owns the ship.

[pinkflip]

[ naw it's fine she doesn't take technological insults personally ]

Ship? ...Oh, aren't you a...space-mercenary guy? Is he your teammate?

[tanukey]

Yeah, met 'im about a year ago, he had a huge bounty on his head.

...things didn't exactly go to plan. Obviously.

[pinkflip]

[ Snrk. ]

Obviously. Wow, someone from Earth out there in the galaxy... That's pretty cool.

[tanukey]

[There was a doomsday McGuffin, they all got arrested, everyone watching cried over a talking tree, it was a time.]

If he's still alive, I will take it as a personal favor if you never, ever tell him that.

[pinkflip]

Aww, come on, he-- ...still alive?

[ oh no ]

[tanukey]

...Probably? Definitely. He'd survive just to annoy me.

[Ha ha he didn't almost just admit to having a feeling, nope nope nope nope.]

[pinkflip]

[ A...h... ]

Were you two in some kind of a jam?
