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.]

bios

[-- ah, jeez. how can she help...

she goes over to her own bio and slams the button, letting the dulcet tones of psychedelic rock help drown out whatever's wrong with his own song.]
forgottenfounder: (Urp)

[The sudden extreme mix of two music stylings causes Oswald to literally jump.]

Gah! [He whips around and. Oh, it's a girl. Uh...

He laughs, nervously. Gosh, he sure does look like a fool right now.

hallotween: (when I look out my window)

[personal profile] hallotween 2017-10-01 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no! Did I scare you? Sorry, I just... [thought she was helping?]
forgottenfounder: (Do you think...)

[personal profile] forgottenfounder 2017-10-01 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You didn't scare me, I- [no, he was a little spooked. It comes with the territory. He's fine though. Honestly.]

It's alright, you don't have to apologize. I was just trying to turn the darn thing off. I thought if I gave it a few whacks that might do something.
hallotween: (the little bright things I bought)

[personal profile] hallotween 2017-10-01 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that just makes the song played again. I was thinking we just drown it out until it stops.
forgottenfounder: (Panache!)

[personal profile] forgottenfounder 2017-10-02 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm... [he's actually considering that.]

Not exactly my first idea... but it would be worth a shot!

[He can afford to mess around a little, right? he presses two more of the buttons, setting off their songs in tandem.]
hallotween: (and I am only as young)

[personal profile] hallotween 2017-10-02 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[she presses two other random buttons.]

Is it helping any?
forgottenfounder: (Default)

[personal profile] forgottenfounder 2017-10-03 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
...Nah. [He shakes his head, letting out a sigh.]

Now I just feel like I'm getting a headache.
hallotween: (as the minute is full of it)

[personal profile] hallotween 2017-10-03 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Great. I seem to be giving lots of people those today.

[a pause] Why don't you like your song?
forgottenfounder: (Stars)

[personal profile] forgottenfounder 2017-10-03 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, heck, it's not your fault. You were just tryin' to help.

[Heaven knows he knows how that feels.]

Oh, the song? It's really not important. [It's got him down though. He gives her a small shrug.] Just reminds me of some things.
hallotween: (we're so happy)

[personal profile] hallotween 2017-10-03 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. [she. probably doesn't want to know what a "cartoon graveyard" reminds him of.]

Some of the songs are a little too on the nose.
forgottenfounder: (Default)

[personal profile] forgottenfounder 2017-10-04 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[would you believe a literal cartoon graveyard? Is that too on the nose?]

You're telling me. It's downright ridiculous. It's like someone wanted to give us all a theme song.
hallotween: (up in flames)

[personal profile] hallotween 2017-10-04 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[please she is a child]

I think of any other reason. But why would anyone want to do something like that?
forgottenfounder: (Do you think...)

[personal profile] forgottenfounder 2017-10-05 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think it could be for entertainment purposes? I mean, the whole place kind of seems like an attraction.
hallotween: (yeah)

[personal profile] hallotween 2017-10-08 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Like at an amusement park? [hmmmmmt] Maybe.
forgottenfounder: (So?)

[personal profile] forgottenfounder 2017-10-10 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly! It's all like this place that's based on an attraction where I'm from!

It's like a... Haunted Mansion.
hallotween: (when I'm known)

[personal profile] hallotween 2017-10-16 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
... It's a hotel.
forgottenfounder: (Do you think...)

[personal profile] forgottenfounder 2017-10-30 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
...Hotels can also be haunted.
