WEEK 5

[grimgrinningghosts]

[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.]

...That would be kind of cool. [So is she.] Let's just focus on the food.

[And not the random body parts???]

[aboyandhiscar]

[the pizza is body free, thankfully]

That's probably for the best, talented tiny ghost people aside! So whaddya say, wanna try a slice?

[outsidethecircle]

Oh, yes please! [What kind of pizza is it, anyway?]

[aboyandhiscar]

[A pizza for a growing teen with high metabolism: extra cheese, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, the works. Probably everything standard aside from anchovies, tho there are a few slices a little less peppered with ingredients if she rather not have all that.]

Alright, one slice coming right up. I dunno how it's still warm, but I'll count it as a blessing. It's even from my favorite chain! [there is literally only one pizza place back home Mike. He'll plop her slice of choice on a plate just for her.]

[outsidethecircle]

[It's...very adventurous looking but Anna takes a slice.]

Thanks! [And...wow. Just look at that face.] Mmm...! It's good.

[aboyandhiscar]

Right?? [Mike is practically beaming. She likes it!! Good!!! Pizza is good!!]

It's pretty much the best food ever--and has all your food groups all in one slice! A one stop shop.

[outsidethecircle]

That's...pretty amazing!

[You have converted one twelve year old!]

[aboyandhiscar]

[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?

[outsidethecircle]

Right. I know I would like something from home, too.

[aboyandhiscar]

--? [Uh oh.]

What, you haven't gotten anything familiar back yet?

[outsidethecircle]

Oh! I mean, I have. I meant food.

[aboyandhiscar]

Well that's good, but food's definitely higher up on the list.

Huh. What's your favorite grub? Maybe we can whip something up.

[outsidethecircle]

I think Mrs. Oiwa's omelette rice was pretty good.

[aboyandhiscar]

[Omelette rice??? This is city ass Detroit boy doesn't know what that is, but he's going to go grab some eggs and rice anyway.]

Yeah? Alright, two questions--who's Mrs. Oiwa, and is omelette rice exactly what it sounds like?

[outsidethecircle]

[The first question is easy to answer.] She's a relative. I'm staying with her and her husband over the summer. She's a really nice lady.

[As for the rice:]

It kind of is. Basically, it's rice with an omelette on top. Mrs. Oiwa cooks the rice with ketchup and pours more on top.

[aboyandhiscar]

Nice, a little summer get away, huh? Sounds homey.

[Sounds simple enough. But also. It's Mike. He's pretty sure he'll fuck it up somehow but no pain no gain!!]

Ketchup, huh? I like the way she thinks! Welp, it's not gonna be as good as the original, but I think we can work this out! If I got my pizza, you should have your omelette rice.

[outsidethecircle]

They're really nice.

[She's really not. Going to go into more than that. And, hey, she really can't blame him for getting it wrong the first time.]

Thanks, Mike. I think I remember how to help make it at least. I'll go get the rice and we can try it together.

[aboyandhiscar]

[He doesn't prod: the mission here is eggs and rice, so that's all that matters.]

Alright! I'll get started on the omelette! That part can't be. . .too hard, right? [he's already putting like ten into the pan]

[outsidethecircle]

I don't think you need that many eggs!

[Oh god. What are you doing, Mike?!]

[aboyandhiscar]

--huh? [riding the cholesterol train, apparently. He is very new to this. Okay, think Mike!! How to salvage this!!]

Whoops. Okay, no biggie. We'll just make it. . .extra large? We're gonna need a lot of rice. Uh, what do you like in your omelette?

[outsidethecircle]

I think...that you only need one or two eggs for that. [Um. Mike...]

Maybe we can make more than one. [Oh, question.] Mayonnaise!

[aboyandhiscar]

Yeah, we can do that! [there's gonna be like a dozen, kiddo. He goes to grab the mayo] Aaand mayo's a good choice! Just a dab of that--! [A HUGE SCOOP]

[outsidethecircle]

That's not just a dab! [Think of their arteries!]

[aboyandhiscar]

Aaaa double dab? Might have miscalculated that. Don't worry, I can fix it! Uh--what else is in omelettes? Cheese, right?

[ENJOY THAT WHOLE PACK]

[outsidethecircle]

Cheese, yeah--

[Oh my Disney. She's just staring at this monstrosity.]
