Week 6




Week 6




Monday - Thursday


There is a particularly somber atmosphere in the quiet hotel. The day before ended with a terrible miscalculation and an innocent life lost in the name of the “experiment”. Emotions certainly ran high and it would not be strange for those effects to linger into the dawn of the new week. Until now they had successfully determined and executed three other murderers. But the fourth got away. They may not want to face the future yet—but the experiment stops for nothing. 

The opening of a new wing would probably be of little solace to them. But it's not long before they are granted a small distraction.

Early Monday morning -- before they’ve even had a chance to properly examine the new floor and it’s rooms -- a text announcement arrives, following a small jingle. The sound is new; different from the announcement tones used during the investigation last week. It’s just as loud and persistent, but there’s an annoying set of four repeated notes in a pattern that lazily imitates a song assigned to this notification.

Hello participants. 

I hope you are doing well this morning and are well rested for the day ahead. There will be a meeting held in the lobby fifteen minutes from now. You will all be required to attend. Any person who is absent will be appropriately hunted down and brought to the meeting place by whatever means necessary. An important change has been made to the experimental proceedings, of which you must all now be made well aware.

See you all in fifteen minutes.

[ V. S. A. ...That didn't spell anything out this time. Or maybe he's supposed to be looking at the numbers here? ...Wait. "Don't Rock the Jukebox"... "Dead Man's Party"... "Heaven is a Place on Earth"...

V. S. A.

...No. It couldn't be, could it? Rean still isn't entirely sure yet, but he's going to hit up the jukebox and find a song. Which one should he... How about R1? He'll tentatively press that button, wondering if something's going to happen. Something spooky. ]
nevergraduating: (looks like it's time to get serious.)

[The other letters could spell out a word, but those letters...]

...This is one hell of a shitty joke they're pulling. [He'll let Rean handle the haunted jukebox for now. But if this really is just a way of taunting them...]

...Not to interrupt you, boys, but let's say I got an indication that I should be joining you.

[Well, look who it is. This asshole's going to be wandering out of the private karaoke rooms for the sake of seeing what's going on here.]

[ s'up Top Dollar! Rean does acknowledge his presence with a careful nod, at least, before shaking his head. ]

...I'm not even sure what's happening anymore, honestly. Something's definitely off here.

[ Though it's curious all the buttons lit up at the same time this time. Does that mean it WAS trying to spell something out? Rean's going to punch in a couple more songs. He'll be pressing R1 once more, because apparently he really likes Adele. After that, he'll be pressing another button: S4. Wow, someone's sure into emo music tonight. ]

[personal profile] nevergraduating 2017-01-05 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh hey Top Dollar, you're right in time to see... whatever the fuck this is??]

Yo, some kind of freaky shit happen on your end, too?

[After Rean's done punching in all his emo songs (why Rean. just why.), Crow will try... pushing all three of the lit up buttons simultaneously. Because why the hell not??]
devilsnight: (WHAT † fuckin' musicians am i right)

[personal profile] devilsnight 2017-01-05 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but I'm not sure whether the freaky shit wanted me out here or you in there. Figured I'd see what you guys are up to before trying to take a guess.

[...Why is all of the music from the future so bad?]
valimar: <user name="aaveplsgo"> (❅ my lack of memory)

[personal profile] valimar 2017-01-05 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Because truly what we need most is for someone to wake us up inside. Maybe. ]

I don't know. It seems like there's way too much to this to just be a tasteless joke on the staff's part.

[ Though he wouldn't discount it either. Anyway, since Rean's never learned his lesson by being reckless before, he's just going to stick a hand into that window like it ain't no thang. Tell me he's not grabbing grinchsteak for all his trouble, mods. ]

[personal profile] nevergraduating 2017-01-05 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[He can't believe that worked?? Although seriously... was this thing always hidden here?]

At this point? Yeah, I'd say I agree with you. Pretty damn elaborate if they just wanted to mess around with us.

[Crow will peer curiously at whatever the hell Rean has grabbed. Is it porn. Have they finally found someone's hidden porn stash. (Maybe the bartender's?)]

[ we're kisekis we don't know what the fuck CDs are, let alone DVDs!!!

Okay, uh. Apparently these are... records of some sort? Except they're obviously not made of vinyl. Rean's looking them over and shooting them a most baffled look. ]


So... what, are these records or something?
devilsnight: (WHAT † fuckin' musicians am i right)

[personal profile] devilsnight 2017-01-05 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
...I've got a way to play one of 'em in my room. The first one you pulled out, there.
nevergraduating: rean you cheesy idiot. (can't say I saw that coming.)

[personal profile] nevergraduating 2017-01-05 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow thank Aidios at least one of them knows??]

Huh, that so? Guess we'll be tagging along to your room, then. [They found it, so they deserve to come along, right!!]
valimar: <user name="aaveplsgo"> (❅ i'm torn between regretting everything)

[personal profile] valimar 2017-01-05 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Guess so, if you don't mind us checking it out too. Might as well see what we've got here.

[ Though while we're here, might as well find one way to get the message across, right? He'll press the same buttons he did earlier, R1 and S4. ]
devilsnight: (Default)

[personal profile] devilsnight 2017-01-05 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, for fuck's sake.]

As long as you stay on the goddamn couch and don't touch my shit, then I don't give a fuck. Come on.

[Let's just go do that, then; thankfully Darren has taught him how to work a stupid DVD player - because he's got one in his room, as he said. ...Also a bunch of DVDs on the coffee table, and ad...mittedly not much else because it looks like he's keeping all his stuff in the bedroom proper.]
nevergraduating: c'mon, it's not like it's for money! (anyone up for a game?)

[personal profile] nevergraduating 2017-01-05 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
No problem, we'll keep our hands to ourselves. ☆

[Well okay Top Dollar. It's nice to see your room isn't full of dead bodies and random weapons lying around, that's a good sign!! ...Man, they really need some popcorn for this, don't they. But yeah time to let the only guy who knows what the hell they're doing do their thing. Although admittedly he'll be paying attention to what he does with the disc in case this kind of shit ever comes up again.]

Got any ideas what it might be?
valimar: <user name="aaveplsgo"> (❅ then for some reason)

[personal profile] valimar 2017-01-05 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry for intruding, by the way.

[ At least one of them realizes they're kind of barging in! Rean will be stepping back and letting Top Dollar do his thing because... he obviously knows what he's doing here. Though he's also keeping an eye on how the machine's being operated, just in case. You know, they'll need it. ]

Anyway, it can't be more music, right?
devilsnight: (STUDY † let's try that again shall we)

[personal profile] devilsnight 2017-01-05 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
No idea. Hopefully it's better than all the crap they were putting in the machine, if it is.

[That said, he'll actually manage to insert it without fucking it up and he'll just...let it play beyond that; he won't be joining you guys on the damn couch, where your asses had better be, but he'll be pacing behind it, in the threshold between the sitting room and the bedroom, because jesus christ this is a DVD that was supposedly handed to them by a bunch of ghosts and who knows, maybe he'll need to get his guns and shoot Samara or something.]

[What the fuck is he listening to it's simultaneously pretty catchy and infuriating at the same time although he can't quite put a finger on why he feels the latter.

It's a good thing he didn't bring his fire poker along though, because man. But he might kick the jukebox one more time.]

Not into Rick Astley?

[ At the very least, Rean got the message, even if they had to get rickrolled in the process for it. Too bad they don't know what that is, but it's enough to make them groan!

Rean's going to punch in two more buttons: S4 once again and finally A9. Finally, something different! ]
