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.]

Hmm. Well, it's definitely the same handwriting.

[He looks back and forth between the two.]

Mine was written by Beau Blood, the...butler.

[His brow furrows.] Could he have become the Captain?
amadeusrockette: (i'm in over my head and i know it)

[personal profile] amadeusrockette 2017-07-14 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Why would he . . . become the captain if he was kidnapped? [ya'll won't let her see the steamy note so she's missing some context.] I mean, if they're written by the same person that would make sense but . . .
terribibble: (absolutely very upsetting)

[personal profile] terribibble 2017-07-14 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Well he, ah. Did take to life on the ship. Eventually.

[In a perfectly non-sexual way. Definitely. Yes.]

That's more or less what mine said.

amadeusrockette: (i can't imagine)

[personal profile] amadeusrockette 2017-07-14 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I see. [Translation: thaaaaaaaaaat seems fake, but sure ok Mr. Mcgucket.] He must have, ah. Warmed up to life at sea quickly, then if he was only gone for three years.

[She says that last bit kind of shiftily. Look, man: pirates were kinda gay and she's at least a little aware that putting a bunch of dudes on a ship with no women probably results in some Stuff Happening.]
terribibble: (he has no will of his own)

[personal profile] terribibble 2017-07-14 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Shhh it's fine. Dr. McGucket knows what he's talking about.]

A lot can happen in three years. A lot can happen in three weeks, bein' honest.

[After being here he feels more sure of that than ever.]
amadeusrockette: (i've always been the kind of girl)

[personal profile] amadeusrockette 2017-07-14 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
That's. That's true. [Three weeks ago almost everyone was alive!!!! Ha. Ha. Ha.] But how . . . how did this "Beau Blood" become captain if he was kidnapped? Does that mean - I mean, surely he didn't just replace the previous captain.
terribibble: (this is how i took my SATs)

[personal profile] terribibble 2017-07-14 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm. Hmmmm.]

Now that's a question. You think it was the same ship, or did he get his own?
sixfingeredstan: (05)

[personal profile] sixfingeredstan 2017-07-14 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Does he mention the name of his ship anywhere? Mine says it's the S.S. Gore.

[They're clearly missing some key chunks of information, here.]
amadeusrockette: (with me myself and time)

[personal profile] amadeusrockette 2017-07-14 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Mine says . . . "dead men really do tell no tales."

[She doesn't elaborate on what she thinks that means. Ford and Fidds are surely smart enough to understand and, well. This is a wake.]
terribibble: (facial balance?)

[personal profile] terribibble 2017-07-14 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
... You think the old captain might've died?
wannagetsmote: (how dare you)

[personal profile] wannagetsmote 2017-07-14 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
He's uh. He's definitely dead. [Maui had been just a bit late to the meeting, and quickly held out his own note.]

Head lopped off anything. A... bit like Ghostave, really. [Maui looked a little uncomfortable.] This... guy, this Captain, I guess. He uh, kept the head in a hatbox.

Sound familiar?
amadeusrockette: (i'll never forget)

[personal profile] amadeusrockette 2017-07-14 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Kept . . . the head . . .]

I. I think I know what kept reappearing.
terribibble: (give my computer even more viruses)

puts this here instead

[personal profile] terribibble 2017-07-14 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

Ohhhh sweet lord.

[Yeah. It's all coming together now, isn't it? In the worst way.]
