foolishmortals | It's all happened before...

[You wake up in a plush bed, well rested but very confused. As you become more conscious, one thing becomes abundantly clear: this is not your room, nor does this look like any bedroom you’ve ever been in before. It’s relatively clean room, but immediately something feels… off about all of this.

When you start exploring, a thing you’ll soon notice is that on the bedside table, there is a room key sitting ontop of a neatly typed note.]

Dear hotel guests,

We cordially invite you to come to the downstairs library at noon for an important meeting regarding your stay in the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Before then, we invite you to make full use of the amenities this hotel has provided for you.

On behalf of the hotel staff, we dearly hope you enjoy your stay in this marvelous hotel.

-HTH Management

[But, as you leave the comfort of your new bedroom, any hope that you somehow booked a hotel room the previous night and just forgot is immediately dashed. It looks like this hotel hasn’t been cleaned in decades, and despite the mention of hotel staff in your note, there doesn’t appear to be anyone working here.

Not to say that you’re alone, however. As you explore the hotel, you’ll soon find that there are 23 others in the exact same situation as you: confused and with no memory of how they got here. And to make matters worse, if the bios you stumble upon in the dining area is anything to go by, this clearly isn't just a freak accident.

Get comfy, because you are all in for a wild ride.]

Well generally I do believe that books can be used in the reading room while staying at an inn. I'm sure you could ask a staff member whenever they show their faces.

[He seems annoyed by the fact especially as he wipes a line of dust with his finger.]

This is just unacceptable! Books should be treated better!

We're obviously the first people to be here in a long time. I wonder why it's like this... Why would somebody abandon a perfectly good hotel? The rooms all seem really nice.

Oh yes, yes. Mine was clearly prepared for my magical experiments! They at least had the good mind for that.

[... you know she was super proud of her limo bed until literally just this moment?]

They didn't put anything for magic in my room...

Oh? And are you too a wizard my dear?

A witch! [primly] A Cromwell witch.

Cr-Cr-Cromwell!?

[He's completely amazed! A member of such an important magical family! His family!]

Ma'dum forgive me! It is a pleasure to meet you! I am Merlin. Tell me: how is my cousin Marvin doing?

... I don't know who that is. [THAT'S SARA PAXTON KNOWLEDGE]

Marvin? Well he's my cousin of course!

[He observes her again, scratching his beard.]

Oh my... well if I teleported myself to the future than you must be his descendant! How incredible!

Grandma never said we were related to Merlin... Though, now some things make a lot more sense.

[she grins] Well, if we have a powerful wizard like you here, getting out will be easy as pie!

[He's glowing with pride!]

Why yes, yes... I mean no, no! While I may be the most powerful wizard, there is something off about this place. My magic has been weakened!

... What? That can't be true... Is that even possible...

[she glares at the books on the shelf, lifts her hand and waves her fingers at them... one of them wriggles a bit, but nothing else happens.]

What's going on?
