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]

[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?

[tanukey]

...no. Not me.

[Which probably says a lot more than he wants it to.]

We were dealin' with this planet-sized asshole called Ego. We won. The planet was collapsin' in on itself. Quill was still in the caverns under the surface.

[w h y can't he stop talking]

...Someone went in after 'im, guy named Yondu. Pretty badass for an old guy, but, um. He only had one aerorig an' one spacesuit. The rest of us had to get off-planet or we were all toast.

[pinkflip]

[ ... ]

Do...you believe he can get out okay? Have you guys been in things this bad before? 'Cause if you do...just have faith you'll see him again, okay?

[tanukey]

...I'm not an IDIOT, kid.

[He's not angry, exactly. Just. Bitter.]

I know a no-win sitch when I see one. An' I ain't lucky enough to have a friend come back like that twice. Yondu an' Quill- at least one of 'em ain't makin' it, if they don't both buy it. Just. A question a' which.

[pinkflip]

[ Mmnn... ]

...I'm sorry.

[ No wonder he's grouchy. ]

[tanukey]

[Oh Kim. He is grouchy for so many reasons beyond this.]

Y'don't need to be.

[pinkflip]

I know, but... It must be just awful. On top of all of this, worrying about it. I'm sorry that it happened, and...at the very least, that you're all...uncertain.
