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.]

[Well. He was thinking more like 'we'll all go together when we go' but, yeah, what she said is probably a nicer sentiment.]

Exactly. Watch each others' backs, keep each other grounded. If we're lookin' out for each other then... then what happened today doesn't have to happen again.

[They can remind each other. Don't step on bugs. Don't go in the attic. Don't try and damage the walls. Be careful, be cautious, stay alive.]

[Don't ever learn that Anna tried to get the axe ghost out of the attic. What? Bugs don't stand a chance against a ghost! If they're not posessing someone. And hey, Oogie probably has a lot of cash.]

Not until we find a way to get bug spray.

[Anna, no.]

After we find a way out, I mean.
terribibble: (they tried to make a good head)

[personal profile] terribibble 2017-07-14 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Yikes.]

... Right. Though I think bein' honest once we do make it out I'm goin' to get as far from here as possible and not look back, with or without bug spray.
outsidethecircle: (No you)

[personal profile] outsidethecircle 2017-07-14 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey. Kids don't have the strongest instincts.]

I kind of agree but... that guy gives me the creeps more than the host did. At least he was polite.
terribibble: (why do most people quit?)

[personal profile] terribibble 2017-07-14 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
I can agree with you there.

[You really don't know what you've got until it's gone, huh?]

I'm awful glad I was able to apologize to him before he... before what happened. For bein' so rude to him a couple weeks back.
outsidethecircle: (No you)

I... once asked him for a watermelon and he gave it to me even if he thought it was weird.
terribibble: (ding dang lean cuisine)

[personal profile] terribibble 2017-07-15 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Why a watermelon of all things?

[Sorry, he thinks it's a little weird too, but only because if you were going to ask a ghost for anything why would it be that?]
outsidethecircle: (Omg)

[personal profile] outsidethecircle 2017-07-15 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
We didn't have one.

[She's not going to say anything about Mulan but--]

It's a rare treat in Japan in the summer. It was summer last time I remember so I thought it would be nice.

[She left it in the kitchen.]

[Oh. Well that... that makes sense, especially for someone her age. God, she's so young. Too many of the people stuck here are so young, too young.]

Well that's... that's not a bad thought actually. Anythin' nice here is worth somethin'.
outsidethecircle: (So I'll just stay right here)

[Whoever took them really wanted to punish the youth, it seemed.]

You think so? I just wanted to make sure we had something nice.
terribibble: (a virtual dairy queen)

[personal profile] terribibble 2017-07-18 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
I do think so! I think in situations like this every little bit helps.
outsidethecircle: (So I'll just stay right here)

[personal profile] outsidethecircle 2017-07-18 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
I think so, too. I think we need to do more things like that. I think this place must be in the summer, too, since wasn't the ball about a summer holiday?
terribibble: (this is how i took my SATs)

[personal profile] terribibble 2017-07-20 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Must be. If that was July fourth then it's mid-July now, here.

[Which is just... weird. Unsettling, when it wasn't mid-July where he was last and he already has a hard enough time keeping dates straight. But comparatively a little timeline fucker is something he can't even be concerned with anymore.]

Hard to tell time reliably when outside's always night.
outsidethecircle: (Uuum)

[personal profile] outsidethecircle 2017-07-21 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds about right to the time I was taken, too.

[Ugh. All this is unsettling.]

So at least we should treat it like summer.

Y'know odd enough my favorite season was always fall? It's the leaves. Movin' to California it was so odd because they don't really have seasons the same way.

[... Which. Was just a total tangent and probably not too helpful but, look, he tends to babble when he's stressed and even at the best of times his brain tends to make large leaps from subject to subject.]

[personal profile] outsidethecircle 2017-07-24 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
You're right... the leaves are so pretty. It's a shame that you can't see them like that in California. I don't know what's my favorite but fall is a good one.
