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?]

At least none of them seem to believe him.

[Silver linings?? She holds out a plate of sandwiches, because she will make every last one of these Very Depressed People eat if she has to.]

Would you like one?

[kindaruledatit]

No, Sally. He's just a... really old guy. Like, old.

[And kind of gross but she appreciates him anyway.]

[hallotween]

I guess.

... At least their host seems like more fun.

[toogoodforhim]

It doesn't say much for the average intelligence of the villagers back home, for sure.

[He looks at her and then looks at the sandwiches, before giving her a sad smile and taking one.]

Thank you.

[darnsitall]

Ohhhhh, a lich! I've never met a real lich before! How interesting!

[This is going nowhere.]

[theduck]

Not like that's saying much.

[full offense, Rod]

[lusito]

[Meanwhile--]

Of all the times to get him to take his shirt off, it had to be during a trial...

[lusito]

They really need to stop murdering the people that are clearly the most entertaining to have around.

[keyofimagination]

I'm sorry I didn't have more fun partaking in a blood ritual.

[amadeusrockette]

I don't know, I think some people are just willing to forgive a lot for a pretty face.

[And his face is very pretty. Not her type, but he absolutely looks like someone she could take home and her dad would Love. A respectable, cultured man unlike Nick.]

[kindaruledatit]

He tried to kill us in an insane sacrifice ritual when we met him.

[toogoodforhim]

At least you joined the good side in the end, instead of going back for seconds.

[at least HE doesn't have anything against you.]

[toogoodforhim]

I certainly did. For longer than I should have.

[Even grownups can have Bad Breakups, Julia]

[keyofimagination]

[Rod watches the execution, silently and stone-faced. Almost as if he's not reacting to the death at all.

But when the curtains close, he quickly gets up and exits the room.]

[darnsitall]

[Rod hey Rod where ya goin]

Rod? Is everything okay?

[keyofimagination]

[He stops when Sally calls for her, but he doesn't turn to face her.

There is a long silence before he speaks.]

He shouldn't have died.

[darnsitall]

But... he's really not gone forever, right? He's trapped where the others are now. And we're going to get them back!

[She's trying.]

[keyofimagination]

I can't do anything to bring him back; you know perfectly well that I don't actually have any powers.

[He seems bitter as he says that, and he mutters something under his breath. Sally can't hear the whole thing but "Walt" is mentioned.]

We need to contact Mickey, as soon as we possibly can.

[darnsitall]

[Yyyeeeaaahhhh that's the problem with their plan.]

There must be some way we can do that without Mr. Walt's help. Those villains can bring people from all over, surely we can do the same... somehow...

ignore that typo i made up there........

[keyofimagination]

... Oswald gave me an idea a little while back, actually.

I suppose you're not aware of the phrase "hidden Mickeys" but, if we make three circles in the right configuration, we might be able to summon him.

[That sounds... a lot worse than how he intended it to be.]

[darnsitall]

[Her eyes light up]

Oh, that sound so mysterious! How do you make a Hidden Mickey? Do you draw them? I can draw!

[let her Help]

[keyofimagination]

[He finally turns around to face Sally.]

It's... as I said they're three circles. [He draws Mickey's head using his fingers.] Like that.

It would have to be big enough that he would be able to see it from... wherever he is now, I suppose.

[defyingfrigidity]

[So hey guys how bout that attempted revival. Here's hoping nobody in the viewing room at the moment is averse to the cold, because the second it registers that this is a real person's head, the entire room completely freezes over with the scream from one particular survivor.

A wave of ice and frost practically explodes outwards from Elsa, spreading across the floor and up the walls, even reaching the ceiling, where (thankfully small) icicles stab outwards.

Elsa herself is shaking violently, hands pressed to her mouth and tears rapidly welling up in her wide eyes.]

No no no no....! [Her words are slightly muffled by her hands, but it's still audible to the others. And god, is there a lot of pain in her voice now.] Anna...

[yourghosthost]

[Well, after Rod storms out and Elsa freezes the room, a certain someone was planning on just leaving for awhile for some time to himself.

However, he stays when a certain someone pops up at the party. His body somehow seems to stiffen as he glares daggers at the TV.]

Oh.

It's him.

[theduck]

How many evil exes do you have?
