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.}

Comments

[thetimebomb]

To give us hope, I imagine. Just enough so that we aren't completely broken after one week.

[She shakes her head.]

Hopefully I'm wrong, but I've seen enough villains that I can't not consider it.

[defyingfrigidity]

You've encountered people like this before?

[Geez, and here she thought something like this was extremely rare...]

How were they stopped? Do you think we'll be able to get out of here?

[thetimebomb]

Well, nothing exactly like this, but I've been captured enough times that I'm starting to wonder if I spend my nights in a prison cell more often than not.

[... To be fair she's been getting a habit of breaking into Lord Hater's ship to rest for the night.]

Normally Wander is able to, you know, do his thing and get us out of here, but...

[She looks behind her, as if worried that Wander is listening in.]

[defyingfrigidity]

"Do his thing"? Does Wander have some sort of special abilities...?

[Hard to imagine a sweet thing like him fighting villains....]

[thetimebomb]

If by "special abilities" you mean "sees the good in everybody, even if they're trying to kill him and would do whatever it takes to help out people", then yes.

[He's also very slippery so that's pretty helpful in most cases.]

[defyingfrigidity]

So he can overcome any obstacle with his natural kindness?

[A pause, and then she laughs.]

I'm sure he's getting along quite well with my sister, then.

[thetimebomb]

Pretty much!

[She almost says "all except one", but she really doesn't want to think about her.]

I'm guessing your sister is similarly optimistic, then?

[defyingfrigidity]

She is. She has so much optimism she could outshine the sun itself.

[Can you tell she loves her little sister? Because she does. With all her heart.]

She... she's here, actually. [That smile fades, just a little.] Her name is Anna. Er... the red-haired one.

[thetimebomb]

Oh right, Princess Anna. I haven't actually met her but if she's half as great as Wander, maybe I should.

[Can you tell she loves Wander?]

It's really nice having people you recognize in a place like this. I'm sure I would have gone crazy the first day if I was completely alone here.

[By "completely alone" she means "the only person she knows who's not from Earth".]
