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.]

Yeah? You dont look like a ghost.
amadeusrockette: (she could play piano)

[personal profile] amadeusrockette 2017-07-10 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Deep breaths. She can do that, sure. In and out and in and out - it's fine. It's just like before a performance, except the floor is bugs.

There is nothing wrong with the floor being bugs.]


. . . Sorry.
aboyandhiscar: (nothing to see here)

[Horrible, glowing, choreographed bugs. It's fine!! He sighs a little.]

Hey, buck up, no reason to apologize. S'all just a show to see if he can get under our skin. Reacting's normal, just don't let him know he can keep getting to you like this.

It's-- all the bugs.

[ That's a convincing excuse, right? ]

[whaaaat the fuuuuu-

Okay no, but this doesn't... This doesn't change anything, does it? She's...still Namine. She's still Nene.

She's somebody to him.]


...I can't say that I understand completely. But it doesn't change anything. I still want to be your friend.

You're still Nene, to me. No matter, um, whether you're human or not.

[ ... oh, no. Naminé expected him to... she doesn't know, maybe turn her away, or something. Ford had accepted her in spite of everything, but she's spent her existence being told that people would turn her away for what she was.

DiZ may have apologized, but she still remembers what he used to say. What Larxene and Marluxia used to say. What the other Organization members, the times they'd come to the upper floors, had said.

We are just Nobodies who have no one to be.

This is so much kinder than she had ever expected. Than she had ever hoped to wish for. ]


You...

[ She's trying so hard not to cry. So, instead of saying anything, she wraps her arms around him and hugs him. Not as tight as she can, but enough. ]

[personal profile] toogoodforhim 2017-07-10 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[When she hugs him he holds onto her, wraps his arms around her shoulders and leans his cheek against her head.]

I'm here. I'm here for you, no matter what.
chainbroke: (luminaryicons2)

[personal profile] chainbroke 2017-07-10 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ She nods, resting her head against his shoulders. ]

You're... a very kind person, Lefou. [ She's not sniffling a little, you're imagining that. ] Thank you... so much...
kindaruledatit: (Okay....?)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2017-07-10 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Don't want them going all over you? Yeah, I can relate. [It actually is!]

Hey, I can help with that if you want.
chainbroke: (namine_warplanes60)

[personal profile] chainbroke 2017-07-10 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ phew ]

You can? How?
amadeusrockette: (she drank and cursed)

[personal profile] amadeusrockette 2017-07-10 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
If you say so.

[She doesn't seem convinced.

Murder? That's fine. Ghosts? Also fine. Tarzan turning into a different person? Weird, but ultimately something she could handle. Bugs? No. Nope. Nu-uh.]


. . . We should have been nicer to Ghostave.

[She turns around, patting her shoulder a couple times.]

Get on my back, dude! That'll help keep the bugs off you.

[And onto her. Ahahaha.... She's fine, they're friendly.]
chainbroke: (aihasuicons4)

[personal profile] chainbroke 2017-07-10 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
But what about you?

[ WENDY?? ]
toogoodforhim: (pic#11487407)

[personal profile] toogoodforhim 2017-07-10 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[He rubs her back with one hand to soothe her.]

I'm glad you trust me, Nene. We're still friends. You're still my friend...

Graveyard

[personal profile] arpeggiositar 2017-07-10 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Demyx hadn't dared to approach the scene of what happened during the trial. He hasn't gone any further than a spot where he can see where it all happened. Oh, there's someone there]

Hey! Uh, Elsa, why are you there? It could be dangerous! And scary, but mostly dangerous!
chainbroke: (aihasuicons2)

[personal profile] chainbroke 2017-07-10 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ It takes her a little while, but... Lefou's gentle, comforting contact helps so much. ]

You've always been there for me... how could I not trust you?
kindaruledatit: (best seat in the house)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2017-07-10 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Waves her hand nonchalantly.]

I'll be fine. S'just a few bugs, you know?

[Nonchalantly... wipes some off her pants. It's Fine, Namine.]

Besides, at least it beats all of us having to deal with it.
chainbroke: (aihasuicons4)

[personal profile] chainbroke 2017-07-10 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ Her hero...??

But she climbs on up, still a little unsure. ]


Thank you, Wendy. There are so many of them...

[Surprise Demyx you get first-hand proof that Elsa pretty much doesn't care about her own self-preservation anymore! It was... probably obvious when she was willing to stay behind long enough to get through to Maui in the aftermath of the investigation, but now it's just starting to show a bit more.]

I was worried about coming out here at first too, but... I think any traces of what happened are gone now. I haven't seen anything odder than usual yet.

[As for the why, she simply motions to the gravestones.]

I can't... I can't leave them like this.
arpeggiositar: (3)

[personal profile] arpeggiositar 2017-07-10 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Now this is something I'm a bit more familiar with!

[There's a casino, huh. Demyx knows a bit about some types of cards and gambling games, courtesy of Luxord. That guy sure loves his gambling, and Demyx had joined him a few times. Not to the point of knowing that much about it, though.

Demyx grabs a deck of cards]


Do you know how that pick up fifty-two game is supposed to be played? I don't really remember.

[Demyx throws the deck into the air, the cards all fluttering to the floor]

This is all I remember. I'm not even sure if this is right.

Kitchen

[personal profile] arpeggiositar 2017-07-10 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Soup, nice! Got enough to share? I think I'd like some.

[Well he could have been a more polite about it, but Demyx does look enthusiast about having some free soup]

Kitchen

[personal profile] arpeggiositar 2017-07-10 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[You sure you want to cook something while wearing such good clothes, Naminé?]

...do you know how to cook?

[He really doubts anyone ever left her approach a kitchen, but better ask]
toogoodforhim: (pic#11489333)

[personal profile] toogoodforhim 2017-07-10 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Of course! Do you think I was planning on eating this whole pot myself?

[It's a big pot, Demyx.]

Eat up, there's plenty for everyone.
chainbroke: (aihasuicons5)

[personal profile] chainbroke 2017-07-10 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ That's fair. She's not even mad. ]

A little bit... I don't know a lot of things, but I know how to make eggs, toast, and bacon. And cookies, kind of.

[He still doesn't understand, but there's nothing dangerous about her. He's seen first hand what happens when people panic over what's different.]

There, you see.

[He smiles.]

We've come this far already. There's nothing you could do to push me away now.
