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 ;)

That doesn't give you the right to just snatch people's things! [And she stands up to stomp on his foot. And hopefully catch the book when it comes back down.]

[dothebackslide]

[It makes a squeaky noise when she stomps down on it. His body does a dramatic wobble, with a wobbly noise attached, as the books slips from his hands.]

[essentiallyinvisible]

[Well, that's a weird sound for a foot to make. Still, she takes the opportunity to grab it anyways, and quickly hold it behind her back.]

I guess your bio wasn't exaggerating after all.

[dothebackslide]

[Within a second, he's smoking his cigar again, instantly snapped back to casual position, leaning against the stand.]

Well, why hide what you are? A Dan is a Dan is a Dan. [Puff puff.]

You know, for someone who's allegedly learned to balance work and play, you sure seem to be A HUGE DOWNER NARC!

[essentiallyinvisible]

[She snorts a little, still holding her book.] What do you even mean by that? [Look she's still a little bad with slang okay.] I was trying to be polite before you snatched my book!

[dothebackslide]

[Shrugs] What can I say? I'VE GOTTA BE ME!

Polite, huh.... [Puff] I suppose you could make a good straight man, but you either gotta go more emotional or less.

[essentiallyinvisible]

[She just rolls her eyes as she puts her book away in her backpack.] Why do you know so much about this kind of stuff anyways? Is that what they taught you at university?

[dothebackslide]

Psh, that was a one time gig. They didn't UNDERSTAND my particularities and interests.

I WAS JUST TOO AHEAD OF MY TIME FOR THEM TO APPRECIATE ME!

[essentiallyinvisible]

Yeah, you mentioned that before. So...did you find anyone who "appreciated" your work after that?

[dothebackslide]

Oh don't get me STARTED on OL CHUCK.

I THOUGHT [he points to himself three times, with emphasis] I THOUGHT. WE HAD A GOOD THING GOING. WE WERE EXPERIMENTING WITH NEW IDEAS! PUSHING THE BARRIERS OF ENTERTAINMENT!

[He smokes furiously some more.] AND DON'T GET ME WRONG, THE LOONY TUNES? AMAZING. ABSOLUTE LEGENDS. IRREPLACEABLE AND DESERVE EVERY SUCCESS THEY GOT.

BUT I WAS GOOD TOO! I WAS FUNNY!

[essentiallyinvisible]

[Well, it seems that he has people he admires as well.] He just...kicked you out? And replaced you? [Man that's some deep vitriol.]

[dothebackslide]

"LOOK I'M ME, I'M CHUCK JONES! I WISH I COULD ERASE EVERYTHING I DID BEFORE 1948 BECAUSE THAT WASN'T MY BEST WORK!"

THAT'S WHAT HE SAID. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT GUY?! LIKE I WAS NOTHING!

[essentiallyinvisible]

[She actually looks shocked.] That's really horrible! And you weren't the only one he said that about?

[dothebackslide]

Well, yes, but who cares about them. They were way before Rabbit of Seville. Now THAT was a REAL BANGER.

[essentiallyinvisible]

Rabbit of Seville...any relation to this "Bugs Bunny"?

[dothebackslide]

Oh FOR SURE. That was one of his ABSOLUTE BEST FILMS. VOTED NUMBER 12 OF THE GREATEST BY CRITICS!

[essentiallyinvisible]

That's pretty high up, right? [There's a lot of films out there, she knows, so being number 12 must be pretty good.] And...what was it about exactly? [She just realizes she doesn't actually know.]

[dothebackslide]

OH YOU BETCHA- mine was number 49 you know, beat out that Felix the Cat punk.

Well, the Bugs Bunny shorts in general operate on Bugs outsmarting his opponent. A cat and mouse game of a kind. Now Elmer, the hunter, chases Bugs onto a stage. From there, Bugs tricks Elmer into all sorts of shenanigans and make him participate in the play. THERE'S LAUGHS AND LAUGHS A MINUTE!

[essentiallyinvisible]

[She actually grins the tiniest bit at that description. It does sound entertaining.] It sounds like he should have stopped before they ended up on the stage in the first place.

[dothebackslide]

[He sits down on the bench nonchalantly.] Well, that's always the gimmicks of Jones' characters! They've always got some flaw that leads to their downfall.. Elmer is a fool who doesn't know when to quit!

[essentiallyinvisible]

[She wonders if that applies to him as well. She supposes "being too loud all the time" is a pretty big flaw. Still, she knows that'd be rude to just ask.] Does Bugs have a flaw like that too?

[dothebackslide]

[He considers carefully.] Welllllll, Bugs is usually the hero of the piece, suave and clever as can be. He's mostly invincible. BUT there are STRICT RULES! Bugs can only deal out punishment that his enemy deserves. Otherwise? It alllll starts to go wrong for him.

[essentiallyinvisible]

[She ponders a bit.] Yeah, that sounds like a pretty fair rule. So he's kind of a personification of the "you started it" philosophy.

[dothebackslide]

Exactly. You can't sympathize with the hero if he's just being a bully

EVEN THOUGH THAT'S WAY MORE FUN I can see why the audiences wouldn't understand the appeal.

[essentiallyinvisible]

[...she doesn't know what she expected.] Bullies are unlikable by definition, after all.
