[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.]

[ SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY ]

[Wendy also lets out a somewhat undignified yell as she jumps again, shaking off those dancing bugs whenever she can.]

What are you?!

It's that time ol' Oogie Boogie comes to town,
It's that time my bugs come up from underground,
It's that the king of bugs will double down,
For your lives are now Creepy Crawly Day!
You could be a smorgasbord for insect-kind!
If you complain you'll be wined and dined!
Once a year, the spiders reel in
All the chumps who lost the dealin'
Suckin' down the suckers gone astray!
So try your hardest not to bust on Creepy Crawly Day!

[There's another cackle! That's the end of that routine, at least.]

You ever met a guy named Tamatoa? Get the feeling you two might get along.

...REALLY? That's the only RECEPTION you got for me?!

His had glowing and flashing lights. A little better than the show you put on but. You know? A for effort. Whatever that means.

Aw, I'm hurt! I'm hurtin' right here. You had one friggin' job, Maui!

Not talking about that one, I'm talkin' bout the 'don't insult the guy who's going to call in a 500 pound bug to eat you at some point' job.

Uh. What.

Bigger than a basketball with sixty feet,
Thirty eyes and mandibles in search of meat!
He's an insect paragon I call the biggest bug!

...But I digress.

[Hands gripping your shoulders.]

What.

[....Is it over? Finally? Ok. Okay. Good. Great.]

Two words, dude: personal space.

Two words, kid! 'WHO CARES?'

Uh, we do? [Or does that even matter.]

So, why are you even here? Are you supposed to be the replacement that voice talked about?

Well, duh. The moron who came as a package deal with this place kinda got chopped off, so you can consider me your new host.

Yeah? You dont look like a ghost.

[MIKE IS SO CONFUSED]

So back up, is your name. . .Oogie Boogie or Creepy Crawly?

[jeezus it's like if the Duke was made of bugs.]

Oogie Boogie, son! Don't forget it!

Got it, thanks, I guess. Caaaan we like, go? Or is there an act two?

...Sheesh, appreciate the showmanship for a bit, boy.

[......claps??? a little???]

You've got a flair for dramatic entrances, that's for sure.

Look, it's just been a really long weekend. I'm. . .still not totally sure what happened to Ghostie, but let's try not to get off on the wrong foot, yeah?

... Wait, are you saying our lives are on the line here?!

It's much more fun, I must confess
When lives are on the line!
Not mine, of course, but your's? Oh boy!
Now that'd be just fine.

Now that's a classic.

So... they could be? Or are? Are we going to have to bet our lives to get our of here, is I guess what I'm asking...?

[He trails off. There are bugs in his shoes.]

This is gross.

We're gonna be playin' the same game here, boy. Just with a change in dealer.

So the answer is yes. Great, definitely good to know.

[He shifts, taking off one shoe and shaking out the creepy crawlies.]

Can we go back downstairs, though? Or do you have an encore for us or something?
