Week 4

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Two more people died this week. Two children. And they died because of a freak accident. Despite all your protests, Randall refused to let Jane get away despite being innocent.

But there is a tiny ray of hope now, which comes in the form of the mirror. Now that the mirror is public information, you can see people you care about, even if they are dead and trapped in hell. Not only that, but you now now that someone is trying to save you all from the predicament that you're in. And this time there's a good chance that he won't turn out to be a heartless mass murderer!

Still, the ideas for the plan are vague and you have no idea when you will actually get out. It's hard to keep up hope when your only chance of living might still end with you horribly killed, isn't it?

At least you have a new floor and the ability to wash your clothes now.

26 guests remain.]

[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

...There might also be someone new threadjacking some toplevels this week too. If you want to opt out of this, just let us know!\

[It's acclaimed 1997 film, Tower of Terror. Rod's favorite!]

[pinkflip]

[ Waits another...few minutes... ]

Why's Randall just got a lot of cartoons and shows and movies in here?

[ Like, this is weird, right? ]

[stanbyme]

Maybe even he gets bored watching us all the time.

[pinkflip]

Wow. Our suffering isn't enough for him.

[ :| ]

Hmm... Let's try... [ She's going to fast-forward the tape, see if anything notable comes up. ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[the tape starts playing backwards and rod serling comes up with blood red eyes and he opens his mouth and there's more blood and then he looks at walt disney and then rod serling and walt disney were in the closet making babies and i saw one of the babies and the baby looked at m-

No, it's just the full movie. Randall must really enjoy this.]

[pinkflip]

...Yeah, okay. Next!

[ Last tape! ]

[rech]

[...The video is professionally shot. It's a video camera, set on a desk. Randall comes into view, and he speaks, and it's...fairly obvious he's some degree of "not-in-the-right-state-of-mind".]

So.

Our story starts in 1919 in Kansas City, USA. Walt Disney was a draftsman. Ub Iwerks was an animator. Ub goes, hey Walt, what if we were to put a live action person - into an animated frame? - Yes, that's it. They create something called the Alice Comedies, but there's no money in it. And Walt, though, is ambitious. He goes off to California and he goes to the head of Universal Animation, Charles Mintz. And he was like, this is amazing, I can use this, but the quality has to be as good.

Walt's like, Ub, get out here, ASAP. Yo, this is better than being in Kansas City, 'cause Kansas City is like you could like give me the deed to the city and I still wouldn't even stay there. And he drives the seven days to California. He takes these oh no, let me back up. At this point, Ub came up with Oswald, the lucky rabbit. So, Oswald - that miserable little piece of... he is great for Universal.

And Walt goes to Charles Mintz and he says... "Listen, we are fucking killing it, time for you to pay us some more money." And Mintz, Mintz looks at him and he laughs. "I'm gonna give you less money." And Mintz goes, "I have signed all of your animators, and I own Oswald, he's mine."

Walt Disney vowed from that day..."Not only will I ever not own any character I create, I will never not own them...." They-the I think. He said to Ub - "Ub, you with me?" And Ub, yet again, left with Walt Disney, and Ub said to him..."What are we doing, Walt? "

And Walt's like: "We need a character. Ub, what do you got?"

What about a horse? Nope.

What about a dog? Nope.

What about a cat? No, man, we got enough cats. We got Felix The Cat, there's a lot of cats out there. What else you got?

What about a devil?

...That could be interesting.

[The tape abruptly cuts.]

[stanbyme]

...So that was messed up.

[pinkflip]

Uh-huh. Majorly.

[ It's- there's a lot there, so- ]

Could you- could you run and get something to write on? I...I have a feeling this one might be important.

[stanbyme]

[Hey mods, this is a desk. Is there any pens or stationery?]

[rech]

[There are pens, but no stationery unless you count some old newspapers about EPCOT and a weird paper with text about some guy named "Frollo".]

[stanbyme]

[...Fuck it. Is the paper about this Frollo guy blank on the back?]

[pinkflip]

Mr. Pines. I am not taking anything more than necessary! He's already going to know we're here, we don't wanna get him mad!

[ yeah!! that's for marco to do!!! :D ]

[stanbyme]

Come on, don't be a square! This is probably important too!

[rech]

[It is!]

[pinkflip]

...Mmmmgh, just get me some! This is going to be a lot more than one paper can hold, okay?

[ And maybe we can steal the weird Frollo thing. ]

[stanbyme]

...Fine, start writing on that, I'll see what I can find.

[First: Is there any paper anywhere else in the room, before he goes to where he knows for sure he can find paper]

[rech]

[No more paper, it looks like.]

[stanbyme]

[Fuckin shit damn fine he'll be right back

Assuming the door doesn't lock again behind him or like, vore Kim or something the minute he leaves, he'll be back with a notebook and plop it down on the desk.]

[pinkflip]

[ why the fuck would the room vore her stan jesus

When he gets back, she's got the CREATION video copied down and...is actually rewatching the first video, taking down some information about some of the cartoons. ]

Thanks, I'll...be done soon, then we can get out of here. What'd you find in the closet?

[stanbyme]

A couple things I wish I could unsee. Also found a trophy, though, so that's coming with me.

[pinkflip]

A trophy? [ She scrunches up her face, still coping down some notes. ] What...kind of trophy?

[stanbyme]

[Meanwhile he heads over to the closet, and drags out the bigass chicken.]

This guy!

[Ta-dah!]

[pinkflip]

...Why.

[stanbyme]

Why not? He had him pushed to the back of the closet, it ain't like he's using him.
