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.]

Last I checked.

[what is going on]

Were you expecting me to be a robot?

[forgottenfounder]

Honestly? Yes! It's not like I've ever been able to meet the actual Donald in person.

[This is weird for him too, dude.]

This shouldn't even be happening!

[theduck]

But you've met a robot Donald? Who's been making copies of me?!

[forgottenfounder]

[meep]

T-that's not important right now! What's important is that this meeting shouldn't be possible, but now here we are.

[He scratches his chin, trying to think, and get over his fanboy hype.]

There's gotta be an explanation for all this.

[theduck]

[he just wants to know if robot Donald is as handsome as he is]

Okay, okay, you're right.

[he'll drop it. For Now.]

But I've already been poking around this place, and I haven't found anything. Maybe this is just somebody's idea of a joke!

[forgottenfounder]

[Oh, very.]

If it's anyone's joke it's not a very funny one, if you ask me. At first I thought it might be something involving ghosts... now... I'm not sure.

[theduck]

Really? I thought it was ghosts, too! I haven't seen any of this so-called staff, so either they're really good at hiding, or we've got the right idea.

[forgottenfounder]

I'm sure you would. [Lonesome Ghosts. Remember that, Donald?]

If it's ghosts, it would make sense if all this was just a weird prank. Ghosts can definitely be jerks when it comes to that.

[theduck]

[of course he doesn't, he's Hip and Young and not an Old Man. but he sure does know more than enough about ghosts anyways.]

I just fail to see how any of this is funny.

[even for a ghost. seems like a joke without a punchline.]

[forgottenfounder]

[You make him very sad, Donald.]

Like I said, Ghosts can be jerks. [What can he say? At least some of them, like Ian, know how to be a little courteous.]

But it does seem like something a little outside the forte of ghosts that I know.

[theduck]

Great, so we're not even stuck with normal ghosts. Just the weird ones.

[forgottenfounder]

I guess? Who knows what's behind all of this. Might even be some crazy demon.

[theduck]

Demons, eugh. [He doesn't want to think about that option.] I guess one way or another we'll just have to figure out a way to beat them.

[forgottenfounder]

Yeah! Can't be all that hard! I've definitely gone through worse.
