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.}

Guess it's a good thing I never have to leave this place, huh?

[His last alliance had all but blown up in his face. Really, it should have made him hesitate more than he did, but this guy... at least he wasn't a 6 year old princess bossing him around and dragging him across the world.

That didn't mean he wasn't wary, though.]

And... what are you going to need me for, buddy?

[candlelightsflicker]

A little...project I've been working on. I have a great many associates. But I need someone in that manor I can trust.

[he sneers, tapping his foot.]

I'm an excellent friend to have, if it's any consolidation. I can get you anything you need in return for your service.

[wannagetsmote]

[Two things came to mind, one far more selfish than the other. He felt empty and out of place without his hook. A full functioning one, at that. And then, of course, there was Te Ka. If he could navigate this place, if he could come out with the power to stop the raging monster, he'd have his glory back, just as Moana promised.

And all without having to deal with the brat of a girl.]

How far does anything go? Can you get me my Hook, fully repaired and all? Kill a monster for me? [He held out his hand.] If you can give either of those, you have a deal.

[candlelightsflicker]

That's just the thing. When the time comes, and you'll know when that is, I'll be giving you your Hook in order for you to accomplish this task.

[A mischevious glint flickers in his eye.]

The monster ordeal can also be arranged. [He extends his own hand out.]

[wannagetsmote]

And I don't get to know what this task is?

[Everything about this situation screamed "bad idea" but... some risks were worth taking. Maui wrapped his massive hand around the ghost's. Or tried to, any way. If not he's just going to shake his own up and down through the man's non-corporeal limb.]

[candlelightsflicker]

You do.

[his hand is surprisingly corporeal, cold to the touch.]

You're going to get rid of the Ghost Host. Permanently.

[wannagetsmote]

So... you're asking me to get rid of the jerk helping keep us here. And you're rewarding me for it. You're either kinder or stupider than you look, big guy.

No offense, of course.

[Maui quickly tugged his hand back, unnerved by the cold.]

You got it. One dead ghost, coming up. Double dead? I don't know.

[candlelightsflicker]

Excellent.

[his head flickers. again.]

Speak to no one about this. Bide your time for now. When the moment is right, I'll let you know.

[wannagetsmote]

What am I gonna do? Talk about myself and all the amazing things I'm going to do to help every-- [He cut himself off. He might have lacked a large amount of self-awareness, but at least even he knew that what he described was exactly something he would do.]

Uh. Anyway. Before I go. You got a name or something?

[candlelightsflicker]

...Yes.

Call me The Hatbox Ghost.

[wannagetsmote]

Alright, Box Ghost. You've got a deal, and a hook when you need it.

... Can I wake up now? This is getting weird, and I really wanted to dream about cute island girls tonight.
