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]

Well, I mean I guess it's better than nothing. And so far you're the only one I've seen trying to make something to help us out of here. So.... I'll give you a C+.

[are you proud]

[upgradeit]

A C+? Really? C'mon, Marco, I deserve at least A B. [He has never gotten anything below a B in his entire life. How could you do this to him.] An A for effort.

[nachosquire]

Fine, fine. I'll meet you halfway and give you a B-.

[Marco gives him a grin, and reaches out to pat his shoulder.]

But you can also have a gold star for trying.

[upgradeit]

That's better than a C+, I guess. [But also his pride.] Are you actually gonna make me a gold star, though? I need validation, Marco. It's important for my motivation levels.

[nachosquire]

[That gets a laugh out of Marco, just the idea of actually making one for him.]

I'll make you the most sparkly gold star you've ever seen, Hiro. I mean, we did just get an arts and crafts room after all.

[upgradeit]

Exactly! So you should definitely make me the sparkliest, prettiest gold star ever and then I'll feel motivated to build things with the meager resources in this place and everybody wins.

[nachosquire]

..........will you make everything sparkly and pretty, too?

[upgradeit]

[He laughs, because he just imagined dunking Baymax in glitter. Yeah, seems legit.]

Obviously. Who do you take me for, Marco? A coward?

[nachosquire]

Hey, I'm just saying it'd be a wasted opportunity!

[Marco pulls an extremely stuck up looking expression then, folding his arms across his chest as he looks at Hiro in Judgement.]

I wore a pink, floofy dress and started a princess revolution so you're gonna have to really wow me with those sparkles, Hiro. The grading will be harsh.

[upgradeit]

Okay. Wait, wait. A princess revolution?

[He lives in alternate universe San Francisco. Boys wearing dresses? Normal shit, especially if you end up in the Castro for some reason. Princess revolutions??? What is this, a Princess Diaries direct-to-video sequel????]

[nachosquire]

[hey

look]

Yeah it's... kind of complicated. Basically my friend and I infiltrated this "Princess Reform School" [said with airquotes] which was brainwashing princesses into become pretty much the exact same person. Making them sit up straight, drink tea with their pinkies at 90 degrees... they even had an entire room dedicated to forcing princesses who didn't fall for their dumb tricks to sit and watch this long, degrading powerpoint about how a proper princess should act-- it really gets to you, man. It gets in your mind.

[That's said with the venom from a guy who suffered through watching said powerpoint.]

Anyway, while I was there I inspired the princesses to embrace individuality and rebel against the people running the place and... yeah. The school is now a place run entirely by princesses. It's a giant party castle now.

[upgradeit]

Dude.

[Two weeks ago, Hiro definitely would have just been like "sounds fake." Now, he's just decided that it's fine. He'll just accept whatever the hell people tell him because that's easier than having huge freakouts about things like magic every five minutes.]

I would have never pegged you as a troublemaker. You remind me of my friend, Wasabi, so I guess I just assumed you were as straight-laced as he is.

[nachosquire]

No way, man!

[Says mister "Safest Kid in School."]

I'm just a misunderstood bad-boy! I've been telling people this for years!

[upgradeit]

You should slick your hair back and get a leather jacket. People would definitely believe you then. Plus, leather jackets look really cool over dresses.

[It probably sounds like he's making fun of Marco, but he's serious. He's seen cool, edgy kids wear their leather jackets over dresses. It's a good look.]

[nachosquire]

I'm not. I'm not going to wear a dress again. I could barely walk in that thing.

[How dare you even suggest such a thing as that.]

Plus, I've tried slicking my hair back before and it did not look good.
