WEEK 5

[Wander and Sylvia are dead, the Ghost Host was snuffed out like a light, and Tarzan is nowhere to be seen. It seems like in an instant everything is changed, not just the circumstances, but the mansion itself. It feels like it's gotten significantly colder in the mansion, and you might also start seeing bugs out of the corner of you eyes, darting away into darkness the moment you try to focus on them.

And, starting this week, any and all ghosts are eerily absent but at the same time, no matter where you go, you feel like you're being watched by something. To make matters worse, the attic doors have been nailed open. 

But there are some bright spots in this week. When you wake up on Sunday, you'll find that you have a brand new tuxedo hanging up on your bedroom door, in your exact size. Later, if you're curious enough to try going from the second floor to the attic, you'll find that there's a whole new floor to explore, but this time it's just comprised of two rooms: a smallish but serviceable laundry room and an expansive casino with an attached bar.

Don't tell Jiminy about this he will have a heart attack.

Feel free to explore, but maybe you want to keep away from the Stretching Room for awhile. Somebody cut the noose on the hanging corpse.

17 guests remain.]

I know! [She doesn't want to look at it, but she does shoot Lea's body a quick glance.]

There's... nothing we can do though. Not anymore.

[Wendy glances up at the same time Pig does, taking in the little girl and the other cat approaching.]

Pig? Uh, pretty sure this is a cat, dude. [hehehe] Wait, don't tell me this is your cat?
aboyandhiscar: (easy there)

The first thing would be--[as soon as they're in the open space of the foyer, Mike spins on his heal, facing Tip in obviously practiced defensive stance, staff pointed right at her.]

--we gotta get your stance right! Right now, one little poke and I could knock that out your hand way easy. Spread your feet apart, and look real confident! Trust me, sometimes the best look can be enough to scare someone off.
aboyandhiscar: (leeets not talk about that)

[personal profile] aboyandhiscar 2017-07-17 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Yessss. He nods, confidently]

Glad you like it! Don't get me wrong, having access to pretty much anything fresh here has been pretty cool--but sometimes you just want a little slice of home, you know?
aboyandhiscar: (don't get distracted)

[personal profile] aboyandhiscar 2017-07-17 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well shoot now he can't mess up. He goes for for a solid color shot into a corner pocket aaaaand...bam! He nails it! Granted it's a lot easier when there's no one else clanking around the balls.]

--what, Cricket Man? I mean, yeah a lot of pool players can be jerks, but they mean well. Guess he had a bad game once.

[Ford bobs his head thoughtfully, letting the topic fade as it will, and doesn't glance up again until Fiddleford asks about his book.]

Hmm? Oh—by all means. I've read it cover to cover at least nine times. Funny how you keep pulling my things out of that machine, isn't it.
sixfingeredstan: (31)

[personal profile] sixfingeredstan 2017-07-17 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a very good point. Well...[Ford pauses, rinsing out the shaker.] If you're ever bored, I could teach you a few things, if you wanted. If nothing else, it'll kill time.

You're tired? You think you're the only one?
ilovepuppies: (Super Rainbow Dolphin Slap)

[personal profile] ilovepuppies 2017-07-17 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sick of looking, I just keep finding dead ends everywhere.

[Ford, on the other hand, rarely thinks about his age unless it's in conjunction with someone else's age. Like his boyfriend, who is about thirty years his junior. It makes you think.

He takes the paper and scans it, nodding.]


'Confidential.' Meaning secret or private. What about it is throwing you off?
sixfingeredstan: (19)

[personal profile] sixfingeredstan 2017-07-17 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah—never you mind. Spoilers.

[Whoops.]
sixfingeredstan: (22)

[personal profile] sixfingeredstan 2017-07-17 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know if I'd go so far as to call it a gift

[Considering the disaster of a first impression]

—but it's certainly something to do to kill time.
wannagetsmote: (wtf yo)

[Maui was silent for a long while. There was no question, he did regret it. The problem was, he still wasn't sure if he regretted it because people hated him now, or that he actually felt bad. And the problem with Namine (and the rest of the girls) was that he had a hard time dodging the truth.]

Sure. But... I don't know that that makes me a good person again. It's... all about reasons, right? Why someone does something, why they feel bad about it.

I don't know that I have a good reason for regretting it.
wannagetsmote: (wtf yo)

[personal profile] wannagetsmote 2017-07-17 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[The regret was clear on Maui's face. He leaned back, hand quickly falling to his side. Now, more than ever, he wanted to offer her some amount of comfort, but didn't dare do so until she said she was ready. Not after something like that.]

Yeah. Just... popped out. [A beat.] Is it yours?
kindaruledatit: (This is bogus)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2017-07-17 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
And that's definitely what we need. [It's the only kind of killing that she's down for.]

Ugh, yeah. At least today there aren't singing bugs crawling over everything. [If there were, she might have had to torch the room.] Man, I swear that guy really got on my nerves.

[Ford's face screws up a little and he shudders.]

I never thought anyone would make me miss the Ghost Host.
kindaruledatit: (you know...)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2017-07-17 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I know right? [Man...] Thinking back, I almost even feel kind of sorry for the guy. We weren't the best to him.

[Not all of them, at least.]
sixfingeredstan: (05)

[personal profile] sixfingeredstan 2017-07-17 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
He certainly didn't deserve his ending. I'm just glad Maui didn't go down alongside him.

[Spoilers.]

I'm sure I wouldn't understand it anyway. [He takes more than just a tentative sip this time, and shivers like a child taking cough medicine at the taste of juniper on his tongue.] The war's not exactly an experience I'm keen on repeating.
toogoodforhim: (pic#11503143)

[personal profile] toogoodforhim 2017-07-17 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Are they? They fought on the same side. Probably. It's all up there in that... [Vague handwave, hard slug of wine straight from the bottle.] Area.

[What is a Venus

What is an atmosphere]


...Is everyone in your time as, ah. [elite] Well-read as you are?
sixfingeredstan: (29)

[personal profile] sixfingeredstan 2017-07-17 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't blame you. I count myself lucky to never have had to fight in a war. I've fought enough of my own battles to know it takes its toll.
kindaruledatit: (Okay....?)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2017-07-17 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Woo! Wendy gives him a thumbs up as soon as the ball is sunk. Totally got it. She's a witness now.]

Oh yeah, you shoulda seen him; he was stuffing things in the holes, and tried to stop me from playing. He thought I was gonna turn into an ass or something when I sunk a couple balls.

[She shrugs just a bit, looking down at the game.] I don't know what's up with that.
pardonmylanguage: (annoyed)

1/2

[personal profile] pardonmylanguage 2017-07-17 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I named her when I was really little, you know.
pardonmylanguage: (smile)

[personal profile] pardonmylanguage 2017-07-17 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Still, her expression brightens quickly.] Yeah, she is! I can't believe she was in that machine too...
