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.}

[pardonmylanguage]

Yeah, I'd hope so. [She notices the moving tattoo for the first time.] ...huh?

[wannagetsmote]

[The tattoo waved, while Maui simply rolled his eyes.]

It's a thing, kid. It just happens sometimes. A lot of the time. He has a mind of his own.

[Apparently moving tattoos are weird? Who would have thought.]

[pardonmylanguage]

[...well, he's a demigod.] So is he like your conscience or something?

[wannagetsmote]

What? No. [Mini Maui's boyfriend soon-to-be-best-friend is the only conscience around here.]

He's just... me? The embodiment of my heroics, I guess. See, here he's holding up the sky for everyone. [He prodded at the tattoo.]

[pardonmylanguage]

[She peers closer.] So he's like a moving record of what you've done? [She can't believe he has Television Abs.]

[wannagetsmote]

Exactly! The other parts don't move as much, though. Only when it's important to the story being told. But the little guy? He never stops.

[Releasing the sky for a moment, the tattoo wriggled his fingers at the girl.]

[pardonmylanguage]

Wow...so your tattoos are like a living television? [A pause] Oh, um, that's something more modern, I guess. It's like...moving pictures, but on a screen? And they can be recorded and played back later?

[wannagetsmote]

Huh. [For once, Maui actually looked interested in a future concept.]

I guess you could describe it like that.

[pardonmylanguage]

Yeah. The pictures on television can't actually respond to you though, so you've got an advantage there. [She waves to Mini Maui again.]

[wannagetsmote]

Yeah. This one never shuts up.

[Rude.]

[pardonmylanguage]

...do you mean that as a metaphor or something? Because I haven't heard anything from him.

[wannagetsmote]

Nnnnooo. Most people just can't hear him is all. But trust me, he always has lots to say.

[pardonmylanguage]

Okay... [She's not sure how much she believes it. Then again, a living tattoo is already pretty weird, so why not a living tattoo that can talk to the guy he's tattooed on?] So where he did come from exactly? Did someone ink him on you, or did he just appear out of nowhere? [She shrugs. Who knows how that works for demigods?]
