WEEK 2

[grimgrinningghosts]

[One week. One week spent in the Haunted Mansion, and nothing seems to have changed. The hinges still creak in doorless chambers, strange and frightening sounds still echo through and you still occasionally catch a flicker of candlelight out of the corner of your eye. You might be slowly becoming familiar with the mundanity of this communal life, and we've recognized that possibility.

Something has to give.]

[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

{ooc: Don't forget to turn in your week 1/intro AC! As per murdergame tradition, this begins our new weekly schedule - Tuesday and onwards are locked for the motive. Everybody's just working for the weekend.

Additionally, a few people this week are going to get tagged by...something. If you'd like to opt out of this, please let us know.}

[WALL-E is happy to hear that, which is why the little robot will switch back to the first song they had been playing.]

Beneath your parasol, the world is all a smile
That makes you feel brand new down to your toes!

Get out your feathers, your patent leathers
Your beads and buckles and bows
For there's no blue Monday in your Sunday...
No Monday in your Sunday...
No Monday in your Sunday clothes!

[trashcubes]

Laaundryyy?

[... WALL-E has no idea, the little robot has never done laundry before.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Nope. That seems like the extent of it here.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

The dress sorta gives it away, don' it?

[...right.]

[ilovepuppies]

Whoa! How come? Were you cursed by a witch? Was it triggered by puberty?

[toogoodforhim]

...Is... someone there?

[This is his life now.

From "Have you not given any thought to the fact that this castle might be haunted" to here.

A definitely haunted mansion.

...Also what the fuck is a banana, by the way, he's been wondering that for days]

[candlelightsflicker]

...Yes.

Call me The Hatbox Ghost.

[candlelightsflicker]

You shoulda.

But you didn't, did ya?

[grimgrinningghosts]

[it's a big yellow thing. it's okay, lefou. it's delicious.

the banana floats up and nudges him on the shoulder.]

[toogoodforhim]

[It looks like a-

He tries not to flinch when it touches him, and forces a grin.]

He-hey there... Sorry to bother you, I was just wondering, uh, if there was any...sugar?

[grimgrinningghosts]

[lefou no

the banana stares at him for a moment, wondering how to communicate this. then, after a pause, it rotates back and forth in a "no" motion.]

[toogoodforhim]

...I was afraid of that.

[He glances at his ingredients, then.]

Do you think, you know, there could be? I wanted to try to...bring everyone's spirits up with some food...

[ilovepuppies]

No!! It's not fine! What else have you missed out on??

[ilovepuppies]

But I'm gonna! I'm just... waiting for the right moment?

[grimgrinningghosts]

[...can a banana shrug? it kind of moves up and down in a shrugging motion.

it goes over to look at the food, though, looking over it.]

[ilovepuppies]

I knew it.

See! That wasn't so hard, was it?

[whistlenotchirp]

[His mouth opens and shuts.]

...Maybe I did. You don't know for sure.

[toogoodforhim]

[Following the curiosity, he starts explaining.]

You make a paste and dip the fruit in it, and then fry it. Then you dust it with sugar to make it sweet.

...Actually, I usually put some sugar on mine before I fry them, too. Especially if the fruit's kind of tart.

[grimgrinningghosts]

[oh, that's actually kinda cool.

the banana kind of sniffs around for a moment. okay. that would probably be better with some sugar, yeah.]

[ilovepuppies]

Weeeeell, that's because your family is gorillas.

And you're a human being.

Are you seeing what I'm getting at here...?

[folkscallmewander]

Washin' clothes - not that robots need to wear clothes, but - cleanin' stuff like bedsheets and window curtains and towels? If you cook it or squeeze it, does it fold or dry laundry?

[candlelightsflicker]

Well. I'm still around.

So it don't look like that worked out very well for ya.

[toogoodforhim]

[Lefou can't help but look hopeful.]

S-so... Do you think you can help?

[strangerslikeme]

...I understand.

[terribibble]

[... Sure. Sure, that happened. Fiddleford is a bad liar himself, but that doesn't mean he can't spot when other people are doing it.]

... Right. You sound like a regular old hero.
