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.]

It's fine! I'm not much help, either, since I don't even now if this is Hollywood Hollywood, or some strange dimension. I'm Dipper. Dipper Pines.
no subject
It's very nice to meet you, Dipper. Er—you're familiar with the place called Hollywood? It's a new name to me...
no subject
Hollywood is a place in California. It's where actors and actresses live, or people trying to be those things... I take it you're not from the USA if you've never heard of it?
[Which is weird, because everyone around the world knows what Hollywood is...]
no subject
[Belle looks skeptical. That doesn't sound right.]
And U.S.A...I'm not familiar, I'm afraid.
[She's from the 1700s, they hadn't invented that term quite yet.]
no subject
[Hmm...]
What year are you from?
[Let's see what response that gets.]
no subject
[She tilts her head.]
Seventeen-fifty-three. And yourself?
no subject
[That is waaaaay back when.]
Two-thousand-thirteen. I think you'd know America as the Colonies or the New World.
no subject
[She blinks a few times. That sounds like a fake year to her ears.]
Ah, of course. That's a much more familiar name.
no subject
[Dippin Dots doesn't know much about actors, to be frank. Just that they can con people like Stan does.]
It became the United States of America in 1776. So you got some time before it's called that.
no subject
[Places Belle has only dreamed of seeing.]
Seems wrong to hear about things that haven't happened yet. Like it should be a surprise.
no subject
[Like. How does that work in Europe? It's not like America, and Dipper is genuinely interested.]
I think this place ruined the surprise. You're pretty far in the future from the looks of the furniture and decor. I mean, the moment you go into the kitchen you'll see one of the greatest inventions ever: the fridge.
no subject
[She considers that for a moment.]
You have a point. What...what is a 'fridge'?
no subject
[LET HIM SHOW YOU THE WORLD. Or at least the kitchen.]
A fridge is like a box that you keep things in that you want to keep cool and from spoiling. It runs on electricity and you can store things like milk and vegetables in it. They even have a freezer section for ice cream!
no subject
[The concept isn't a new one, thankfully.]
Oh, so it's like a larder!
no subject
[Such an old school term] Exactly! Just very advanced.
no subject
[It's clearly some kind of enchantment.]
Things must be very different indeed in your time. I can't imagine how simple it would've made things back home...
no subject
[At least there's no beast here to fall in love with to turn into a human being. Unless Belle wants to give Goofy a try.]
Well, it would have made it easier to keep food for a lot longer. You could be doing more important things than going to the market every day to replace bad food.
no subject
[She nods thoughtfully.]
It would certainly be a lot more convenient than reaching into a hole in the floor every time you want some cream.
