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.}

[ A few days had made her fret about not being able to go back. A week, though? It's met with Naminé worried than she's ever been. It's no wonder she's found around the hallways, just walking to work off some of that incredibly anxious energy.

Walking around is good and fine, but it's all aimless. So Naminé finds herself in the gallery at some point, looking absolutely unnerved at those paintings. She gets creeped out pretty quickly, so she hurries out and to the the study, where she spends a lot of time poking through things. Surprisingly, there's quite a lot of material to write and draw on, so she grabs some of that.

It occurs to her that she hasn't really eaten, and she kind of likes food, she's learned! She goes to the kitchen, and spends a looooong time trying to figure out what to eat. Maybe she needs some help... ]

study

[trashcubes]

[When Namine comes into the study, she'll find that she's not alone: WALL-E is here too poking at some of the things as well.

Upon spotting Namine, the robot will lift it's hand in a wave. Hello there!]

[chainbroke]

[ Oh, he's still so cute...! Naminé lifts a hand in return. ]

Hello... WALL-E, wasn't it?

[trashcubes]

[WALL-E nods, before the robot then points to you. What's your name?]

[chainbroke]

Me?

[ She points to herself. ]

I'm Naminé.

Are you exploring, WALL-E?

[trashcubes]

Naaamiiineeee...

[At the question, WALL-E nods. There's so many different things in this place that we're not used to back home, we can't help but keep exploring and giving everything a once-over.]

[chainbroke]

That's right. Naminé.

[ She goes on over to him. ]

Have you found anything interesting?

study

[grimgrinningghosts]

[While she's looking through the study, Namine might note that one of these books is more curious than the others - namely, in that it appears to have been largely destroyed and is covered in soot damage. Take a look?]

[chainbroke]

[ She notices it and carefully opens the cover. What's going on here? ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[The inside is completely charred, the occasional word and fragments can be seen here and there but nothing to decipher what this book was.

Even the title of the book is impossible to make out, save for a few letters: HE 'S E]

[chainbroke]

[ Huh. She frowns a little, and she thinks to write down what little information is there. Is there anything else to investigate here? ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

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

Kitchen!

[aboyandhiscar]

Can't decide what you want either, huh?

[Mike's wandering into the kitchen--this time thankfully not planning on making infinity sandwiches. He goes to the cupboard looking kinda bored.]

It's real lucky we have all this variety, but honestly I'd just like a pizza or taco or something, you know?

[chainbroke]

Not really... I've had ice cream before, but all of this is new.

[ She tilts her head. ]

Pizza?

[aboyandhiscar]

Yeah, like pepperoni, supreme--heck, I'd just settle for cheese right now. [Just SOMETHING greasy to fill that crappy teenager food void. He pauses, something just not hitting him.]

--wait, 'new'? Heh, you only eat ice cream before or something?

[chainbroke]

[ By now, she's understanding that eating just one food your whole existence is... weird. ]

Um, yes. [ She fidgets. ] There wasn't anything else, before.

[ Sure, that sounds like a reasonable explanation! ]

[aboyandhiscar]

[oh.

well shit.]

Dang.

. . .well! First time for everything, yeah? Don't get me wrong, ice cream's great, but if you've got the chance to experiment, you should dig in! If you wanna start simple, a sandwich is the way to go.

[chainbroke]

I've... had a little of first times here.

[ She lets out a sheepish laugh. ]

Sandwich... what would you put on it?

kitchen

[amadeusrockette]

[Julia's comes in and heads toward the fridge immediately, emerging with a head of cabbage before she notices Naminé.]

Oh. Are you trying to decide what to eat?

[chainbroke]

[ She jumps a little at suddenly being addressed, but she nods. ]

I'm trying to discover new things... Um, do you recommend anything?

[amadeusrockette]

What have you liked so far? [Julia's just gonna pull a cutting board out and set it down before she starts chopping the cabbage.] I've mostly been eating the sausage, although the lack of sauerkraut has been driving me crazy. I don't know how Americans live like this.

[She's gonna remedy that right now, though.]

[chainbroke]

Sauerkraut...?

[ She folds her hands behind her back as she thinks. ]

I've been trying toast, and eggs... I like those a lot. Um, and ice cream. Sea salt ice cream.

[amadeusrockette]

You might like egg salad - oh! Or deviled eggs. [Julia pauses in her chopping to think.] Maybe an omelet or a frittata would be a better place to start, though. That way it'd be easy to introduce new vegetables.

gallery

[heartofold]

[Sophie understands how she feels. She's not sure why she keeps coming back here other than this feeling that maybe there's something to be learned. Still...]

I don't like this place one bit.

[chainbroke]

[ It's just that spooky in here that she jumps a little when Sophie speaks. ]

Neither do I... It feels like I'm being watched.
