WEEK 1

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well... That sure did happen. After Swackhammer is done ranting about his terrible group of hostages, everyone is free to explore the surrounding area. But true to his word, it still seems to be heavily under construction, and any areas not on the map are surrounded by giant walls. Have fun with your two small areas of Moron Mountain (just be thankful you have clean underwear).

You don't seem to be entirely alone in this park either, as you will find one other employee if you search Swackhammer Avenue well enough.

Not exactly the most populated park, huh?

But hey, you can exit the park at least! Except the only thing they'll find is a seedy hotel in the dense fog. After searching, most people will come to realize that this is your living quarters, what with the bios that line the front wall. But hey at least you know you have food beyond hot dogs and smoothies!

Have fun, little toons! There are surly wacky adventures that await you.]

26 guests remain

[MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY]

{OOC: Welcome to NonDisney's Foolish Mortals! As per usual, there will be no murders committed on the first week! (I mean... not case murders, I'm not sure I trust this disaster cast) If you want to investigate, please put up an INVESTIGATION note in the top level, and put up the name of the NPC you want to communicate there as well if you'd like to do that! Hope you enjoy your stay everyone ;)

[She nods.] Although I haven't met any of them so far. But there has to be someone providing the breakfasts. [Even if they're...not that great quality. And possibly really old.]

[loneleye]

I've never tried it without the shamisen before, actually. But my mom can use the same magic without even trying, so maybe it's not really about the instrument.

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It's not immediately obvious, actually. It just seems like a normal rack of Moron Mountain t shirts at first.

But, upon closer inspection, it seems like the shirts in the back are a different color from the ones in the front.]

[essentiallyinvisible]

"Other" underdog? Is that...a specific character you mean? [She assumes there's underdogs in a lot of stories. Heck, her adventures are kind of an underdog story.]

[notthebattleship]

[They could have a different design, and that's worth checking out. Zhu Li slips her hand past the shirts in the front and pushes them aside to get a better look.]

[notthebattleship]

Cooks, janitors, engineers, and supply. There's a lot of people that work behind the scenes at a large operation.

[toogoodtobetrue]

[Coraline's eyes dart around before she lets out a hesitant:]

...yes!

[Yes, there's nothing going on!]

[loneleye]

Nope. [Said as he pushes another smoothie over to his line of failed attempts.] We never tried anything like this back home. Or even in the village.

[dothebackslide]

[Just two more lines, just two more lines and he's free.]

Can I see it?

[toogoodtobetrue]

Okay, let's see...

[Coraline barely catches the ball with her fingertips, runs to the loop, and jumps up, throwing the ball up in the air. The ball hits the edge of the hoop and bounces, falling down right into the direction it came from, hitting Coraline right on the head. Oops]

[toogoodtobetrue]

...no?

[Yes? No? At this point she just doesn't know]

1/?

[dothebackslide]

[THEY'RE ALMOST DONE THEY'RE ALMOST FREE!

He takes a deep breath, trying to relax for the final line.]

[notthebattleship]

[Zhu Li doesn't move from her spot when Coraline is hit. She did learn a lot about shooting hoops, so he'll walk to the ball for her next attempt.

This time, she dribbles as she paces across the court, pauses, and turns. Copying Coraline, she jumps and throws the ball. It arcs beautifully...and bounces off the rim.]

[dothebackslide]

Well, I must say Seymour, you're an odd fellow.... but you steam a good clam.

Lobby

[toogoodtobetrue]

Sure, give me one!

[This is cute, look at those paper animals! That's some nice handicraft]

done

[dothebackslide]

No, I mean Coraline! Steam... ham. Right? No, it was clam a good... steam? No that doesn't-

FUCK!

[He kicks the wall and is immediately hopping on his foot in pain.]

[toogoodtobetrue]

That's not what I mean! I mean if you had money instead of just...taking it!

[toogoodtobetrue]

...

[She has wondered it before and she's going to wonder again:

Why are all the adults in her life insane.]

...you should lie down, Mr. Backslide. The shock of being here's getting to you.

[dothebackslide]

I WAS SO CLOSE TO GETTING IT RIGHT! THE WHOLE ROUTINE!

[He just flops onto the ground into a little ball he can curl up in.]

[toogoodtobetrue]

You'll get it next time.

[Pat pat on your back, Dan]

Just...try again. With someone else.

[Whatever happened here apparently meant something to him. Coraline has no idea what was the point of all that, but she can't avoid feeling somewhat bad]

[captain_cronch]

[Squat.

Hold up Basketball.

Square up. Thot.]

[dothebackslide]

I'm a disgrace to toon comedians EVERYWHERE.

[loneleye]

[After some quick deliberation, he picks out a paper cat and holds it out.]

I would have made bigger ones but I didn't want to waste paper by using too many sheets on each of them.

[toogoodtobetrue]

That was a better effort than mine, at least...you're officially better at basketball than I am.

[Congratulations! Coraline would clap if she wasn't holding her head, but at least she gives an encouraging smile]

[toogoodtobetrue]

You're not a disgrace! Come on, it was just a mistake and nobody but me saw it. If it makes you feel better I won't tell anyone.
