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'm sure Mickey will recognize you; you're his brother after all.

[If he doesn't, Rod will personally find a way to revive Walt just to punch him in the face.]

But you're right, Walt said he had some powers himself, maybe even ones that could undo everything bad that's going on.

The issue would be actually contacting him, and without revealing where we are to everyone else.

[You know. like to the Hatbox Ghost.]

[forgottenfounder]

Mickey is pretty powerful, even without a brush. He's not as big a star as he is for nothing.

[He taps his foot, hands resting on his hips.]

Right. We don't know how he could notice, so we'll have to be careful. [hmmm.] Any ideas?

[keyofimagination]

[He looks thoughtful.]

If I knew where he currently resides, it would make everything so much easier...

The only idea that comes to mind is finding out where he is and secretly mail a letter to him.

[forgottenfounder]

Where he lives....

[He frowns at that.]

Well, last I checked, Mickey might live in a place called "Toontown". Which is called "Ostown" back in Wasteland.

[Which was also called "Toontown" before Oswald blacked out in a fit of envy and woke up to half the sign destroyed.]

[keyofimagination]

[He shakes his head.]

That is perhaps where your Mickey is from, but Walt needed to contact the Mickey. I fear bringing in anyone who isn't the Mickey would result in him being subject to the same fate that others here have suffered.

[Like... Walt, mainly.]

[forgottenfounder]

The Mickey... But you're right, I don't want my Mickey to possibly end up in the same situation as the rest of us.

[Or worse.... like Walt.]

Ugh... [Scratches his head.] If he's somewhere like "the place where dreams are made" that's gonna make delivering a letter much harder. Knowing Mickey, he could be off on some big adventure right now.

[keyofimagination]

If he's on an adventure now, I hope it's to save the people in the manor right now.

[He looks thoughtful.]

But if he is, there might be a chance he could be looking for us too. If that's the case we just need to figure out how to signal him without letting anyone else see it.

[forgottenfounder]

Heh, wouldn't that be hoping for the best. [God he hopes.]

Something only he could see... [he frowns, thinking hard. What if... oh.] it would have to be something he could easily recognize. Maybe something real familar to him, but something other people miss.

[keyofimagination]

[Wow, Rod actually seems surprised about this.]

You...?

You know it would be incredibly dangerous. Something bad could happen to you if we aren't careful about this.

[forgottenfounder]

...What? No, I was going to suggest using Hidden Mickeys to get his attention - y'know, the three circles that get put in places?

[Holy shit, Rod.]

[keyofimagination]

Oh.

[Rod quickly looks away and clears his throat. He seems embarrassed about jumping co conclusions like that.]

...That's not a bad idea. I've never paid attention to those myself, so I think it's a good sign that it's a safe enough code that we won't get discovered.

[forgottenfounder]

[At the least, Oswald doesn't give him any grief for it.]

Yeah, it's amazing what you can do with just three circles. [You can control the planet.] We would just have to create enough of them so Mickey could notice, while keeping the villains in the dark.

...And maybe have a backup plan just in case.

[He's not saying he won't work as bait....]

[keyofimagination]

We'll save that other plan for worst case scenario. [He doesn't want any more of you guys to die after all.]

... We should also let the others know about this. They should have something to hope for as well.

[It's not like someone like Ursula or Kylo Ren made it to the living party at least. Surely no one would be backstabbers.

... Ok maybe Marnie might to spite him but hey she probably wants to go home too.]

[forgottenfounder]

Should probably bring it up soon. Who knows what the bad guys have planned for everyone in that mansion.

[YEAH at least there's no major villains in here. That'd be bad.]

We all need something to hope for. And Mickey's good for that.
