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.]

[RrrrRRR...YOU KNOW WHAT.

YOU FUCKING. KNOW WHAT. Time to be the big boy.]

Why don't we just...start over then. [Chip takes a deep breath, looks at Stitch, and then...steps out.] We clearly got off on the wrong foot. Or...tentacle?

[you can correct him if you want Ursula]

I'm Chip. Now. Who are you guys?

[ohanas]

[ stitch glowers a bit back at ursula for a moment before deciding to agree that yes. Maybe they ought to start over. Starting over can be good!

Stitch takes a moment to clear his throat before he speaks. ]

My name is Stitch. It is very nice to meet you Chip.

[ Ursula debates her options - make peace with the little furry ones or get into a fight with the blue one. Her ego says she would come out on top and slake some of her anger in the process... but her ability to reason says she should save her energy for the one that really mattered: her captor. She knows she's out of her element here, not just for being on land but because she senses her powers are off as well.

Making nice it is. ]

Ursula.

And I'll confess, I'm not at my best. Waking up in this dry and dreary place has been absolutely awful for my nerves.

[ She sighs heavily, her whole body drooping a bit with the breath. She strokes her own face and rubs her temple. ]

I assume the both of you are in similar straits?

[nocasetoobig]

I don't think any of us are. [But they're friends now, right?...of a sort?

At least they have peace?]

But it's...good to meet the both of you. [For certain definitions of good] Have any of you found any clues as to what's going on?

[ohanas]

[ stitch shakes his head at chip's question. ]

Stitch has no idea. Stitch just found himself in a circus.

[ a very disappointing circus ]

[anasty]

Well there was the note and the book on the desk, though I confess I found neither to be very enlightening as to the purpose of our being here. Can either of you read?
