What am I going to do about a hole in my hand? [ he holds up his flannel-wrapped hand, which has probably been bled through. ] Disinfect it? This'll do for now.
the gang continues to recuperate and be very tired of their situation, which is fair. everyone is bleeding, injured, and miserable.
harrow looks at the paper. they are in fact... typed notes!

**SIGNED THE CONTRACT FOR TEN MORE SEASONS. COMPANY SAYS IT'LL NEVER END. BRING ON THE CASH!
[ and it carries on, and on, and on.
but at the bottom of the page, there's something different - it's written in bold, black sharpie, handwritten.
[ a pause in the bickering about the kit. he considers this question. ]
... table that for now. Sounds like they'd just revive us, which is counterproductive and annoying.
[ why is that your issue. why are there two death weirdos on this CYOA. ]
Performances are usually ended or discontinued in Zhongguo for being boring or terrible, but these notes sound terrible on their own, and I'm not sure what "boring" would get us in this situation.
[He curses under his breath and looks over the notes. He does NOT like any of these, but he points at the resurrection plot and snorts.]
Been there, done that. Boring and old news. Also already shot myself last time, so I’m not raring to do it again.
[He looks thoughtfully between them.]
We’re on, what? Season 27 now? There’s already three more here, a contract for ten, and the promise it’ll never end. I agree with Hua. If the show back home doesn’t get good ratings, it gets cancelled.
We’re going to have to try getting cancelled. But they are probably going to try making us behave.
[ i hate that yuri also briefly though "oh we have to die? great" ]
... The notes tell us what they're going for, right? Maybe we need to do the exact opposite of that. Something the audience doesn't want. Befriend some angels? Hua Cheng has no chemistry with anyone, especially not women?
[ the skeletons are still chattering and clattering.
the announcer's voice cuts through the noise and says: ] Our heroes find themselves searching once more for the dreaded woman in white, and all of her secrets. Harrowhark and Hua Cheng find themselves curious about their newlywed friends...
[ a hush falls over the crowd again.
the group is still standing in the mansion. up the broken stairs, past the attic, there's a room that they could check out. there's a hole in the floor. the thunder outside rolls angrily, and the group hears a scratching sound that sounds like nails digging into glass.
Think of the hurt/comfort, guys, I'm serious. Look. The fanfiction writes itself. Shut UP, Jimothy.
[she'll put her silver knife away, then. kill herself another day.]
Though if it's boring, they're only going to send more monsters at us. [hmm.] Maybe Hua Cheng should... [wait, she shakes her head.] No, that's ridiculous. And yet... well, they don't seem to want him to be involved with men. It's just a thought.
[kiss jason or yuri and maybe we'll get cancelled?]
We could also just throw ourselves down the hole in the stairs.
[ he doesn't seem that bothered by the concept, but he's already died four times prior to winding up in the hotel. so. it's fine. he makes a bit of a face at being involved with jason or yuri, though, even if he does not shoot it down, and instead sighs. ]
Would you knock it off? My head's killing me. [ to the terrible nails on glass noise. he's not impressed. ] En. There's more places we can look, I suppose, considering the size of this place. Or there's a car outside in the storm we could try leaving with, if all else fails.
[Hmm. He spins over everything thoughtfully for a minute.]
Maybe if if we’re not doing anything that isn’t not acting, it’s just bad acting. You were trying to curse earlier, right? And couldn’t. We have to break censorship. Yuri, check the hole. What’s in there?
[Only cause Becks is next before mod tag.
Jason will
actually move toward Hua Cheng. Uh oh.] Sorry, buddy. You can deck me later when we get out. [Hua Cheng is a tall bitch, but Jason is next tallest thankfully. He really just grabs Hua Cheng by the front and yanks him down to kiss.
THEY SAID DON’T BE GAY. He wants to see what happens. Can’t wait for it not to do shit so he has kissed Hua Cheng for no reason.]
[ well then. yuri just wolf whistles. break that censorship and have fun boys!--and then he'll take jason's reocmmendation and go to check that hole. what's in the hole and i hope whatever it is, it stabs him. :o ]
[ haha check the hole. anyway this is the most powerful goddamn thing i've ever read in my life.
the skeletons gasp. all at once. they gasp in a variety of emotions - maybe horror? maybe fright? maybe delight? it's hard to tell! they begin to chatter among themselves.
a couple of them get up and vanish. and even the announcer sounds shocked. ]
Now there's a twist.
[ hua cheng and jason are now passionately smooching. wow.
yuri goes to check out the hole! inside the hole he finds... tons of shattered glass. it's in large pieces, like mirrors. there's a bible down there on the floor, also, that looks like it's been artfully stabbed with a cross. very goth. nothing flies out and stabs him, though.
outside, there's a noise that sounds like an engine revving....? ]
Be careful with any shards of glass or mirror you see lying around; earlier, we saw reflections in them that attacked us. [she's saying this for no particular reason as Hua Cheng and Jason stand around smooching. for Yuri's benefit.]
...But I think that sound is our car. Maybe we can get out of here?
[she's going to start heading down to the car even though she can't drive. how hard can it be?
she will have to try to clambour over the staircase hole to do this, however.]
[ there is no one i hate more in this world than anna at the moment. why is this the third time i've been thrown onto the kiss counter like this.
hua cheng knows where this is going when jason turns to him, and he is absolutely even less than thrilled by this. but, fine, if they want to play this game - they will play this game. they will see what happens. which means that he kisses him back, no matter how reluctantly. he even puts his non-holey hand in his hair at the back like he's going to hold him there. wow!
but then he uses it to pull back after a sufficiently "i'm a passionate and homosexual homewrecker" kiss, biting jason in retribution. reminder that he has fangs. ]
Next time, just stab me. [ said @ harrow's retreating back. he lets go of jason and pats him on the shoulder before going to look down into the hole with yuri. ] Car or hole?
anyway! as they are all exploring and pondering killing themselves, the revving suddenly gets very, very loud.
that would be because hua cheng's beloved car, gege, smashes through the front wall of the house. it is being driven by a female figure in white, and she looks pissed as she slams on the brakes when the car lands so it shrieks.
... despite this incredibly wild action, more of the skeletons have gotten up and left, vanishing into thin air. maybe it's working? you're doing great! maybe. don't get hit by a car! ]
[oh. harrow leaps over the staircase hole and starts running out the door only to be thrown back against the wall by a car. ow, her outside blood. she just lies where she fell, however, not trying to stand up or draw any weapons. if she dies, she dies. they'll either revive her or she won't.
anyway, weakly, she looks up from the ground.]
It's you. [does she recognize this female figure at all?] What did they mean by the first season? Let's talk about it.
[ sisi: being hit by a car is optional all of us, rolling crunchily of our own volition: no it isn't
he doesn't get the dracula reference, so he ignores jason as he considers yuri's description. the glass he saw earlier, but the bible he did not, so he's just going to head towards the exit after harrow.
which is when he gets clipped by the car enough to send him back and to the ground. his insides already hurt enough, hua cheng figures this is just expected now. ]
Fuck. [ ow? he doesn't normally f-bomb this much but censorship spite now. ] Thank you for bringing the car, especially since the weather sounds bad. How is it out there?
[There is absolutely a car busting into the house, and it's fair that he gets hit with it after what he pulled. It rolls him up the hood, over the frame by the windshield, then dumps him unceremoniously on the ground nearby.
[ yuri hates it here. stop rolling so low anna. anyway yuri's here too and gets clipped in the hip by a car because a ten isn't enough to justify a full on hit, but it's a nasty clip. it throws him off balance, and almost sends him right into the hole. ]
[ i hate all of you. everyone gets hit by gege who is an old, scrappy car, but damn that still hurts. as the car stops, the woman in white climbs out of it and slams the door.
she is just... a woman! she's not really recognizable to any of them. she has what look like tear tracks streaking down her cheeks, and is wearing a white pantsuit. as she gets out of the car, the group may notice her eyes are a weird gold color briefly, and she snarls. ]
The weather?! How's the weather?! What is wrong with you people?! First season?! I am the first season! I am this show!
[ huh.
she's really mad. she whirls on yuri, actually. ] You! Are you not angrier?! The goth one just tried to ruin your wedding! This is why we don't bring in guest stars!
Do any of you even want to go to heaven?! I'll kill you off with a rusty nail!
[ your skeleton audience has gone silent again, fascinated by this
bizarre turn of events. this only makes her angrier. ] You are scaring off my audience! Don't forget who signs your paychecks!

Stuff gauze in it, no one wants to see your hole. [He nods with his chin.] Keep the kit. We might need it worse later.
