week 1

[Well, all escape attempts have failed thus far. None of you have seen the Phantom since his brief appearance on Sunday, or heard from him at all. It looks like, for the time being, you’re all going to be stuck here.

You're free to continue exploring your surroundings to your hearts' content. The only real restriction on your movements is that the kitchen is closed between the hours of 10 pm and 7 am. Better make sure to grab any midnight snacks you may want ahead of time. Also, remember to label any investigation toplevels!

The Merchandise Booth is now open for business as well! The Phantom hasn't deigned to explain how it works, but...well, some of you will start to find mysterious coins in your rooms, and the Booth's got a place to put coins. You'll figure it out.

Should you wish to engage more with your host, you're welcome to drop letters in the box office slot. There's no set way to converse verbally with him, and he's certainly not guaranteed to respond if you just yell at the walls - but that doesn't necessarily mean he isn't listening. Just something to keep in mind.

Enjoy your first week, everyone.]


Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday


(( OOC: This will be the last mod post for this week! Feel free to start submitting regains for any threads that aren't with the Phantom. Remember, song threads mean an extra coin! This is a peace week, so get all that CR while you can! ))

[He just kind of. Groans and blinks, squinting at Riley.]

... Riley? I. I feel like garbage.

[Or like your body was forcibly taken over? :)]
isawallflower: (but it's no surprise)

[personal profile] isawallflower 2020-07-10 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
You've been- ?!

[ One hand on the trophy, the other into her hair as she covers her face. Positivity. Positivity. Positivity. Oooh, she can't do it right now. ]

He kidnapped us. Away from our homes, our dreams, our friends. And apparently he's taking our things, too! [ She waves the trophy around, a little haphazardly. ] How can I get you and Christine to understand he is not going to help us?
recessives: (rest again and by then it's like 7:15!)

[ muffled Dead Mom in the distance- ]

Oh... yeah, that really is, huh?

[ She takes it, looks it over. It's like in fighting game when you have a skin for a character that didnt make it in- ]

Well, that's one.
recessives: (and rest til my blood's all clean!)

[personal profile] recessives 2020-07-10 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ Shilo nods! ]

Right! Um... where do I start?

[ Nana flinches back a moment at Riley's words, then just looks back down at her cookies sadly. ]

...I'm sorry. You're right but...

[ She pulls the plate a bit closer to herself. ]

I can't help but try. It's just sort of... in my nature. [ Sweet, tender, nourishing. ] I don't know if he's the real Phantom or what kind of life he's had so... I still want to be kind to him for now.

Everyone else is doing their best to investigate. But this is what I'm best at. So I have to try.

isawallflower: (and watch life go by? πŸ™Œ)

[personal profile] isawallflower 2020-07-10 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, thank god, he's alive. That instantly inspires a smile, mostly for his sake. ]

Hey! Heyy, okay. Come on, sit up, okay?

[ He's a weedy stick boy, she can get him up. With the smile still firmly in place: ]

What the hell was that, Jeremy?
isawallflower: (then they might just go away)

[personal profile] isawallflower 2020-07-10 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ Riley's shoulders slump and she rubs at her temple. ]

Don't... I just- I just. This guy's dangerous, okay? And I don't... I don't want you guys getting in over your head, or...or him using you. You know?

[ She hates seeing that look on people's faces. It reminds her of...

Riley sets the trophy back on the ground. ]


...I don't want any of you getting hurt.

Well it could be that they wanted me to look my best. After all, they did dress me in my armor, too.

Wizard or no, I'll see him hanged for undressing a king without my permission!

[personal profile] superbeliever 2020-07-10 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, "school." I've heard of those. Crazy idea, huh? Teaching the peasants Latin. What will those monks think of next?
justmeheere: (and there are voices all around)

[personal profile] justmeheere 2020-07-10 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Different dress! Actually he's holding up another one too.]

There's these? A lot of this is a lot more, uh. Theatrical? Than maybe everyone would like to wear from day to day.
justmeheere: (and there are voices all around)

[personal profile] justmeheere 2020-07-10 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Has Jeremy just been holding a wet apple throughout this conversation? Yeah. He's putting it in the trash now.]

Uh, nobody. Nobody's spoken Latin in like a hundred years? Not that. Well. You know. We didn't speak Latin at one point.
justmeheere: (then make up my own mind)

[personal profile] justmeheere 2020-07-10 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I. I'm fine. [This is, notably, not an answer to Riley's question.] Sorry, uh. Sometimes -

[His eyes go kind of unfocused for a second and he's looking past Riley at something.]

- that happens.
madgiganticfeelings: (fourth wall)

[personal profile] madgiganticfeelings 2020-07-10 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah, they're not really that bad, but they're a little uptight, you know? I think they might panic a little with me being gone this long...

[But hey, at least they're probably looking for her!]
madgiganticfeelings: (exeunt)

[personal profile] madgiganticfeelings 2020-07-10 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Oh, gosh, no, probably not, but there are a few adults here that you could chat to?
madgiganticfeelings: (Default)

[personal profile] madgiganticfeelings 2020-07-10 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm... It sounds like you just need a little confidence boost! How about we do something familiar first? We could do a scene about cheerleaders at a competition?

[She will put those cheers she learned to good use!]
isawallflower: (if i'd only made it)

[personal profile] isawallflower 2020-07-10 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She follows his gaze, turning her head so fast it's going to get a crick in it later, but there's nothing...no one there. ]

Okay, that is not an acceptable answer. Jeremy. What was that, are- are you sick?
isawallflower: (you start to realize)

[personal profile] isawallflower 2020-07-10 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Um. [ Were she a self-aware girl, she might say that might get a bit too real. However, Riley is not a self-aware girl, so. ] Okay. Okay! Yeah, I can do that, I know that.

[ Psyching herself up, rubbing her hands together. ]

You, um. You want to set the scene, or...?
mcfife: blank (β˜€οΈso hail to you)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-07-10 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose King Richard would be pleased...

[Perhaps he wouldn't be offended.]
mcfife: thoughtful (β˜€οΈto realms beyond space)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-07-10 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
See him hanged for kidnapping.

[Whey he? Did they only have time to clean one person?]

At the least, your majesty, you should use the shower more often. It helps a lot with the worst of dirt.
justmeheere: (since middle school began)

[personal profile] justmeheere 2020-07-10 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
No! No, I'm not sick I just -

[He's still looking past Riley at something but then his eyes flick back to her and he tries to smile.]

Sorry for making you worry about me.
musacal: (23)

[personal profile] musacal 2020-07-11 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
...I know.

[ She smiles softly. ]

Don't worry, I'll be careful. I'm not doing much more than this and the occasional letter.

[ For now anyway. ]
musacal: (23)

[personal profile] musacal 2020-07-11 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ She laughs softly, putting a smile back on her face. ]

If you duel him I think I'll have to join you. Wouldn't be fair to let you do it by yourself.

[ She looks back down then, mulling over something for a moment before speaking again. ]

Say, Clau-chan...

What are the chances you think... that the giraffe is behind all of this?

You just what, Jeremy?

[ Oh, she is not letting it go that easily. ]

You just...just had, like, a seizure right in front of me, of course I'm gonna worry.
isawallflower: (or we'll never make the mark πŸ“£)

[personal profile] isawallflower 2020-07-11 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
As...long as it doesn't go farther than that.

[ This sucks, though. Nana isn't on her team, she doesn't have any right to scold her. ...But also, Riley's miserable and she keeps seeing the trophy out of the corner of her eye. ]

As long as you're careful.
