It's all happened before...

[grimgrinningghosts]

[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.]

What!? I turn into a pig, and you only ask about my color!? Bah, my talents wasted on today's youth!

[sneezelikeakitten]

Believe me, after the summer vacation I had, you'd be pretty unimpressed by someone turning into a pig.

[In a puff of smoke, Merlin returns to human form and adjusts his hat.]

Hrmph. Well now you know. Now perhaps we should work together in finding the staff, hm?

[sneezelikeakitten]

I dunno... Don't hotels usually have phones you can just ring the front desk with? Wait! If we find the concierge desk, maybe they'd have a bell to ring!

[That's another way to get attention from the staff!]

[higitusfigitusmigitusmum]

Oh clever boy! Come let's be off then!

[He start walkin' with him]

Oh I should introduce myself properly. I am Merlin!

[sneezelikeakitten]

[He's going to assume Merlin knows where he's going. For the moment.]

Dipper Pines. So are you really supposed to be Merlin the Magician, greatest sorcerer there ever was and the companion of King Arthur? Because that's just a story back home.

[higitusfigitusmigitusmum]

The one and only of course! It's good to know that the legends have been passed down to your generation!

[sneezelikeakitten]

No offense, but it's not that glamorous. Arthur is the main focus, and you're just kind of cast as his sidekick in most stories.

[S o r r y....]

[higitusfigitusmigitusmum]

[He doesn't seem offended honestly but he does give Dipper a small bop on the head.]

Young man! We all have a role to play. Yeees perhaps Arthur's story does overshadow my own, but who do you think got him there? As along as he's king, then I've done my part!

[He seems proud of that fact.]

[sneezelikeakitten]

[Wow, rude, don't bop him! He's not a field mouse out of the Little Bunny Foo Foo book.]

So you're fine just being the guy in the background?

[higitusfigitusmigitusmum]

Weeeelll do you think the man in the background is doing nothing? Sometimes you have to be in the background to get anything done!

[sneezelikeakitten]

.... You know, I'm not sure my grunkle Ford would agree with you on that always being a good thing.

[higitusfigitusmigitusmum]

....what is a "Grunkle?"

[sneezelikeakitten]

Great uncle.

[higitusfigitusmigitusmum]

Why don't you call him your great uncle then, hm?

[sneezelikeakitten]

Grunkle is shorter and easier. [Duh]
