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?]

I only had two, you know.

[Only.]

[theduck]

...I think zero is the standard for most people.

[darnsitall]

We could draw it on the roof!.... If the roof is still there.

[yourghosthost]

Yes, and clearly it's all my fault that Randall wanted me dead in the end. Glad to see you have your priorities in order.

[keyofimagination]

[Uh...]

I was actually thinking the cemetery would be the best option for this.

[toogoodforhim]

[Lefou went into shock the minute that he saw the red hair, the head that he'd held in his hands what felt like years ago, that he'd tied back onto the body of a girl who didn't deserve to die like that. It was the first time they'd been allowed to actually lay one of their own to rest.

The first, but not the last, dead body that he'd carried because of this twisted game.

He doesn't even notice the cold; he's been close enough to Elsa and he's stunned enough that he wouldn't notice unless an icicle pierced his heart.

But the sound of her crying out gets his attention, and he looks between her and the screen.]

...Elsa?

[Come on, look at him. Look at him, not at the screen.]

[toogoodforhim]

[There's at least two other people here with one evil ex apiece, donald, get your heterosexual privilege out of here]

[theduck]

I'm not blaming you, I'm sure him wanting you dead had absolutely nothing to do with your personality. [sure jan] I'm just saying you could stand to develop better taste.

[yourghosthost]

Are you actually going to care that there are 28 people trapped in the manor with that madman or are you just going to keep harassing me about my partners for the rest of the month?

[theduck]

[He actively has to think over the question for a solid thirty seconds.

Caring is hard. Harassing Ghostave is easy.]

Well..... I guess you've got a point. What's the deal with this guy, anyways?

[defyingfrigidity]

[Sadly, his attempts to get her attention are too little to late. Even as he blocks the screen, Elsa's gaze doesn't shift to him. There's a sort of faraway look in her eyes now, like she's just... lost in the memory of that awful day.]

How... why...

[It's bad enough that her little sister was murdered so horrifically. Did she really need her corpse desecrated like this, with her head now so far from her body?]

That can't be....

[kindaruledatit]

[Wendy wasn't expected that to happen in the slightest. Even in a wet lump, it's impossible for Wendy to mistake the meats on the ground that belonged to the skinned lioness she buried.... or the head of a princess.

The sight of it just... there, on screen, dredges up all sorts of memories. Stuff she'd been trying to ignore for quite a while.

It churns her stomach, but the sudden intense drop in temperature in the room shocks her too. And, thankfully, it's enough to yank her attention away from things she still wasn't over about.]

Els- Oh, shit. Elsa!

[It hits her, hard, and she's on her feet. Wherever Elsa's sitting, Wendy's jumping right in-between her and her view of the TV.]

Hey. H-hey... hey.

[lusito]

... Huh. So that's your ex?

[Or one of them, anyway? Whatever.]

Hang on, did he say that this is the fourth game? I thought this was only the third one, after ours with Rod and the one you were part of.

[Or was Josh not paying attention to something somewhere, which is also likely in all honesty.]

[yourghosthost]

I'm not sure I could tell you at this point. I don't know what drives him to do all of this [gestures at the tv] besides enjoying seeing people in pain.

[Also maybe he also had a hatboner for Walt. At this point it feels like most people do these days.]

But my point is, I wouldn't put it past him to attempt to kill everyone in the manor the moment he got bored of them.

[yourghosthost]

Yes, unlike some people I am willing to admit when I've had terrible exes.

[Hi Rod.]

I'll admit it's troubling to hear him mention a fourth game. Until now, I thought the one I hosted was the first.

[keyofimagination]

[Rod's back and why is his room frozen now?

Either way he heard a bit from Joshua and Ghostave and might as well give his own two cents. (But not before glaring at Ghostave for that comment.)]

This "fourth game" is the first time I'm hearing about this as well. When I asked for footage of previous games I was only shown the one Ghostave hosted.

[forgottenfounder]

Whoa, whoa. Are both of ya serious?

[Why is it so cold in here. The little rabbit has his arms around himself, letting out a shiver that goes up to his ears.]

There's a chance that there's an entire game that nobody knows about - except that weird guy who just showed up?

[yourghosthost]

Either that or he's lying just to make us wonder if there was a fourth game that we're unaware of. I wouldn't put it past him.

[theduck]

[how do you even respond to something like that]

...Yikes.

Week 3

[grimgrinningghosts]

[The Gay Drama(tm) is here.]

[tadaishi]

[Oh look, there's a music room.

Tadashi's just going to look low-key uncomfortable every time something happens in there. Don't mind him.]

[lusito]

Listen, I know that none of these people play as well as I do, Tadashi. But really, that facial expression you're making is unnecessary.

[... if you thought Joshua wasn't going to say something about this, you were wrong friend]

[amadeusrockette]

How is it fair that they get a piano that doesn't want to kill them?

[She's upset about this. She is so upset about this.]

[tadaishi]

That's...not exactly it, Josh.

[Calm your ego.]

I'm not bothered by anyone's playing ability.

[tadaishi]

They also got cursed their second week in, to be fair.
