week 4

[stagemanagers]

[Another week, and two more dead. King Richard and Red are both gone, and once again, it was through nothing more than an accident in the heat of the moment. Maybe if you all stay calm and collected, nothing bad will happen again?

Well, maybe not.

When you wake on Sunday, you'll find that you've recovered another one of those memories - or had another dream, if you still wanna be in denial about it. The grounds remain as they are, but this time, the door blocking the stairwell has been unsealed. You can now venture up to the second floor! This is the second time that's happened; it's almost as if you get more space every time someone dies. Or maybe the whole place just seems quieter.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday


(( Welcome to Week 4! Please remember to submit your AC and your memory regains, as well as your coins! You can also still contact the Phantom. ))

[He sure can pull out the lightning snake but the computer keeps on running.]

Whoa! Whoa whoa whoa!

Whoa.

I am on your side, guys! You've got a friend in me! Hakuna matada! Other highly marketable Disney slogans!

[justmeheere]

See! I told you it wasn't going to work! [A beat.] Hey, do you know the wi-fi password, Beej?

[He is in Myst right now. In his mind, this is Myst and he can get clues to solve puzzles.]

[beejfq]

Did you try "itscur(sed)tains"?

[heathencall]

Enough, Jeremy. Answers from him aren't worth the cost.

[Demons, man. Can't trust them.]

How do I get rid of you?

[beejfq]

Not easily! [The pixel Beetlejuice bats his eyelashes.] But seriously, Meph- can I call you Meph? I'm gonna call you Meph-

[He pulls a little pixel chair out of nowhere and turns it backwards before he sits on it. Let's jam, cousin.]

I've had a lot of time on my hands since I got stuck here. And I had plans. I had a whole character arc I'd planned for myself. I had sequel bait. The Opera House changed things. It changes people. Kinda like stepping in gum except the gum is an entire Opera House in the middle of a forest and also there's a horse.

But I can help you! ...Okay, maybe not you guys directly but in a way that you can't see and might freak you out a lot but overall moves the plot along.

[heathencall]

Please don--

[But Beetlejuice is off to the races. He grits his teeth and... does his best to not outright throw the computer through a window. He isn't, however, able to keep from rolling his eyes.]

Are you attempting to make a deal? With a demon? You're joking. There must be far more rot in your brain than I thought.

[justmeheere]

.............. I'm not selling you my soul or anything! And you can't possess me! No more possession!

[Anyway he's back from his meta adventure.]

[beejfq]

Fiiiiine, I'll avoid possessing you. It's crowded in there anyway, that Squirt thing gives me the heebie jeebies. And that's coming from me!

Can't make any promises about about anyone else not getting in that head empty, no thoughts head of yours.

[justmeheere]

Why are you all so bad at - SQUIP! Super Quantum Unit Intel Processor! [Wait no what the fuck.] Hey wait are you saying there's more ghosts?

[beejfq]

Dude. There's like-

[The screen glitches suddenly, darkening for a second before coming back on looking slightly crispy as well as crusty Beej.]

Aw crap, he knows- Jerebear! You gotta listen to me!

[Another glitch out, BJ is smoking slightly.]

Tomorrow! Sonic is the key! Master the half-a press! Gotta go fa-

[The computer suddenly bluescreens, the mist abruptly turning to real smoke as sparks fly from the computer. That's probably not good.]

[heathencall]

[Oh boy]

Jeremy. I think it would be wise if we left and pretend nothing happened.

[justmeheere]

Yeah, uh. Yeah. This never happened. We. We'll never speak of this again.

[BAD, HONESTLY.]

[beejfq]

What? No! A demon making a deal with a demon? It'd just cancel everything out and we'd be back at square one, my guy.

You I can only give a heads up- with all your friends dying shit's gonna get weird.

[heathencall]

[He should not let himself get taken in but........]

... Weird how?

[beejfq]

Weird as balls.

Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

And maybe some weird shit with the Tom Jones cutouts, I really dunno what those guys are into.

[heathencall]

You claim to be able to help us. What do we do to stop this?

[beejfq]

Stick together, dude! Stick together like you're being shoved in a get along shirt by an overzealous mom trying to get her kids to stop hitting each other with sticks!

It's gonna be rough, it's gonna suck so hard- name of your sex tape- but you've got friends on the other side.

[heathencall]

I know you seem to have your head up your own ass, but surely you've noticed we've been doing that.

Give me something more. Or I'll toss this... computer into the fountain.

[beejfq]

[He would have a retort, Mephisto, but he has to go, his people need him.]

[justmeheere]

[Moves to a different computer not currently hosting a demon. Mephisto can deal with the Beej.

Hey mods, does itscur(sed)tains work as a wi-fi password?]

[stagemanagers]

[Tragically, no. We haven't reached terminal speeds of meta yet.]
