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.}

[He just stares for a second. They ran so far to get away from him.]

Wha-what are you doing here? How are you here?!

[candlelightsflicker]

Relax, bloke. I'm not 'bout ta hurt ya or nuffin.

[he takes a puff from a pipe, looking down at the cricket.]

I'm only checkin in on ya.

[whistlenotchirp]

Checkin-

[He finds himself getting utterly indignant, despite his complete fear of this man.]

Well, golly! That's a real comfort! Glad to hear there's no pain going on! Just turning children into jackasses for your own gain! Nothing painful there!

[candlelightsflicker]

Yea, sounds 'bout right, crickey.

[he shrugs. business is business.]

Ain't got no qualms bout that sorta thing. So what? Excuse me for tryna be friendly.

[whistlenotchirp]

Like I'd want to be friendly to the likes of you. I should've called the police on you when I had the chance.

[candlelightsflicker]

You shoulda.

But you didn't, did ya?

[whistlenotchirp]

[His mouth opens and shuts.]

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

[candlelightsflicker]

Well. I'm still around.

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

[whistlenotchirp]

Maybe you-you bought them off. Yeah. I knew you would, so that's why I... didn't-

Why are you here?!

[candlelightsflicker]

I already told you, son. I'm just checkin' in. You're gonna wake up and forget all 'bout me all over again.

[whistlenotchirp]

Checking in? What's there to check on?
