R3 Viewing Party!

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It’s another average, but boring morning in the mansion when suddenly voices start coming from Rod’s room again. Thankfully, the room is locked and it appears that he isn’t trapped inside his own body (luckily for everyone it appears that Oswald finished Rod’s new body so that most likely won’t happen again).

However, true to the Hatbox Ghost’s word, it seems like the new round has started and everyone in the Haunted Mansion has a front row seat to watching the torture unfold. This time you are no longer in the comfort of someone who has any idea of how to get them out.

… There sure are a lot of people you might recognize this time around, huh?]

[just sorta raises her eyebrows like OKAY WHATEVER YOU SAY but she knows they're definitely gonna do it.]

[keyofimagination]

If we're in a box, blame Ghostave, not me.

[IT WAS LITERALLY HIS IDEA, MARNIE.]

[keyofimagination]

[He shakes his head.]

I'll admit I don't entirely know the hows or whys of it. My benefactor told me very little about the whole story of all of this.

[keyofimagination]

... I do not think that's how blood rituals work.

[stenchus_rodentus]

The...child said there would be muffins.

And money.

[That second part's not true.]

[theduck]

Really.

You think there's going to be money. Here.

[stenchus_rodentus]

Your...costume ought to be worth something.

[theduck]

I'm not stripping for you.

[stenchus_rodentus]

But the rest of the world will suffer your lack of modesty.

[theduck]

I'm not having this conversation with you, either!

[hallotween]

Like you'd even know. [BUT SHE WOULD RIGHT]

[keyofimagination]

I just got out of hosting an actual blood ritual, Marnie.

[hallotween]

Yeah, but ours will be way cooler.

[lusito]

[... Well, seeing as Joshua has probably not been hugged by anyone in like... literal years, you'll actually get him to look genuinely surprised by that action here.

He doesn't move to reciprocate, but at the same, he's not pulling away either...]

[tadaishi]

[It's not a very long hug, and Tadashi looks a little embarrassed when he pulls away.]

Heh...I didn't mean to startle you.

just imagine i have a face palming icon

[keyofimagination]

Could we perhaps not compare blood rituals by how cool they are?

[hallotween]

You're just jealous of how cool it's gonna be.

[keyofimagination]

[Every time he talks to you the more he just wants to curl up in bed and sleep for an entire year.]

Week 6

[grimgrinningghosts]

[lusito]

You didn't.

[You totally did.

There's a bit of silence here, before Joshua speaks again.]

... Thank you. I appreciated that.

[lusito]

[True to his word, Joshua is trying something regarding contacting Mickey... and after the recent murders and trial and hissy fit he had over it, frankly, he's exhausted and needs to regather himself here.

As such, he's spending an inordinate amount of time sleeping during this week, but if you want to talk to him during moments when he's awake, or if you need to wake him up because juicy stuff is happening on the TV or even just to make sure he remembers to eat (because he won't otherwise), feel free to do so.]

[lusito]

[oh my gosh that's actually really nice of him to even try...]

Indeed. For some, it's hard to imagine life without those people in one's company to keep the scales of life in balance.

Sunday

[toogoodforhim]

[...Today is apparently "just sit here with your face in your hands over your fucking idiot ex" day, apparently, because...

Just...

I don't...]

Well, on the bright side, they've made it five weeks and he hasn't killed anyone.

[Said in a near-deadpan.

Mon Dieu, he's tired.]

[kindaruledatit]

[reaches over

lightly pats his back.]

[toogoodforhim]

He's trying. Right?

[A heavy sigh.]

I can't tell anymore if this is trying or if he's just being willfully obtuse.
