Week 5

[grimgrinningghosts]

[...So that was a mess. All of it was a mess, and things don't look to be improving any time soon. With tensions at an all-time high and conditions worsened, it seems pretty safe to say that this whole week promises a great deal of foreboding atmosphere.

But, hey, things aren't entirely bad. Just as Randall promised, you're now able to leave the Manor! 

Just don't stay out there for too long. There's still a lot of you, and you just can't afford to lose numbers.

24 guests remain]

[ Basil may not have been hit with an elephant yet, but he was paying attention when Randy explained them. He's been doing a lot of dodging and scampering and jumping to avoid the things. Seems to be worth the effort, if what Remy's dealing with is even slightly typical of the effects.

...Also he might not be entering the kitchen immediately. Gonna stick to the doorway for just a bit longer. ]

...Remy...?

[ Like, can you even hear him. How out of it are you. ]

[bestchefinparis]

[Rémy should have guessed sooner or later someone would notice him, yet he didn't. He just jumps in the air and runs behind the nearest object. Well this is awkward]

...you heard nothing.

[He clearly did, he's sure Basil did. Quick, think of an explanation]

Sorry, it feels like there's...a voice nagging at me. I'm not going to hurt anyone, I promise.

[not_over_yet]

"Feels like" and "nagging". [ A very unimpressed look--that is technically not directed at Remy by virtue of the continuing wardrobe issues--but yeah, he's. not buying that at all. ]

"I'm yelling at something no one else can see because of Randy and his damned elephants" is a perfectly reasonable explanation for however long the things continue wandering about.

[bestchefinparis]

[Congrats, Basil, you're not as gullible as Soos]

It is, but it's weird to admit someone... [He glares at a spot in the air while he steps out from whatever he had hidden behind of] ...is telling me to kill. It's not like I would kill someone but I know I'd be freaked out if someone I knew was suddenly shouting at the air about that.

[not_over_yet]

Mhm. Have you considered "there's an issue but also an explanation" might be more reassuring to hear than "I'm completely unaware anything untoward has happened"? Because the sudden shouting incidents are only going to continue. ...For the duration of the elephant, at any rate.

[ Spoken like "the duration of the elephant" is a perfectly normal phrase. ]

[bestchefinparis]

Mine's not as bad as other people's. I have seen others have breakdowns over their hallucinations.

[He's thankful for that, not that it's good others are suffering more]

[not_over_yet]

Exactly--they're bound to be reasonable about something so minor in comparison. It's hardly as if any of us are seeking these damned things out.

[bestchefinparis]

[Rémy swats at the air, trying to ignore the person behind him]

You...you haven't been caught by one of those yet, right?

[No, Gustave, Rémy's not going to drop the fridge on Basil. Leave him alone]

[not_over_yet]

Not as of yet, no... [ Looks around uneasily. ] One would think a few elephants seemingly unaware of one's very existence would be easier to avoid.

[ Gonna just. warily make his way to the middle of the room. for maximum elephant-sighting range. ]

[bestchefinparis]

I know, I just...I don't even know how I touched one! I was trying to hide here, and then one of those elephants arrive and somehow manages to catch me. I'm fed up of all this magic nonsense already!

[not_over_yet]

Really? Ugh! [ Not even knowing how the elephant got to you?? Completely unreasonable. Thanks Randy, everyone hates this. Basil shakes his head in disgust. ] I can't help but agree. This is getting very tiresome.
