[ 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!
[ hua cheng groans as he leverages himself back up, at least managing to get on his elbows before getting to sitting upright properly. he uses it to spit out a mouthful of blood. ]
Anyways, I've been inducted into Heaven once. I believe the phrase is that I decided to face god and walk backwards into hell. Pass on going again. [ spit ] Do we get compensation for payment delays?
[When he picks himself up, it's by stretching his arm out and grabbing the top edge of the door. He thinks he may have broken a rib or two maybe. Or it could be his side hurting from his back to his front.
His head peeks barely over the bottom of where the window would be to look inside to see if she left the keys. He is going to try to carefully open this car door? It's not locked is it...? Because he is going to see if he can get in and over to the driver's side. I rolled a 14 for a stealth check closes eyes.
Please keep distracting this woman.
In the next tag, he's probably going to try to run over her if he gets in. Is this a good idea? Who knows. If anything, he can hit reverse instead.]
Yes, speaking of that — you never told me a budget for the wedding.
[ he can do distractions. he’s bleeding from like four places but he can kick up a stink about a wedding, sure. ]
How am I meant to plan something good without a budget? And speaking of— “where do you want to go? No, not there?”. What kind of offer is that? You told us we could go anywhere and then you jerked us around even more?
[ he waves a hand. ] This isn’t even an attractive location for it. How’re we meant to have guests here when there’s ghosts running around, dead bodies on the floor and this— [ he points at the hole ] — someone’s going to fall in that and then things will really be ruined.
a lot of things are happening here that make this woman sputter. she whirls on harrow, first: ] Who cares what my name is! Maybe if you'd earn your paycheck you'd get it! Breaking away from conventions, seeing some paradise in the mirror you aren't even supposed to see - you aren't allowed to be really happy, Harrowhark.
And you! [ hua cheng, next. the woman is starting to look more monstrous now, her voice more and more shrill, hands shaping into claws. ] You! Stop breaking our censorship! You're supposed to be edgy and mysterious, but still sanitary and friendly for teens! We only believe in sex and violence in this show, swearing is off limits in Superh*ll! I have to pay you, and I'll pay you for completing your job, and that's it!
And you - [ to yuri ] - you're only good enough to be a fifth rate guest star on a daytime game show! My male leads are beautiful and tragic and manly, and you look like you'd blow over in a stiff breeze! All of you! Stop trying to rewrite your own television show!
[ jason
is able to sneak into the car while this is happening.
more skeletons start standing up and leaving the audience, muttering to each other. something about "who's this lady" they seem really uninterested. more and more of them are starting to leave - the audience is looking sparse.
[ they can do that. he sees what jason is doing. ]
See, I'm a Ghost King. Nobody tells me what to do. So if I want to corrupt teenagers with loving men and telling you that your show is shit and deserves its shit ratings, then I will.
[ he mirrors harrow. double middle fingers. ]
So fuck off. [ spits blood on this monstrous producer's probably nice shoes. ]
[Sweet. He has the car. Imagine he just reverses and leaves them (he wouldn't). Instead, he gives ol' Gege a pat. Please, he knows he has done some wrongs in his life, but please work for him.
If he has the keys, he's going to crank this bad boy up. Which obviously will probably surprise the lady in white. He's already leaning his head out of the window.]
Hey. Don't fucking talk to my fiancé that way.
[He doesn't think he's ever ran over a woman before, but there is a first time for everything. He throws it in gear, then hits the gas. HE REALLY IS GOING TO RUN OVER THIS LADY. COME ON, GEGE.
Everyone can get in once he has hopefully driven over her.]
so, jason gets in the car. it is very cool and sneaky, and the keys are still in the car. and the first time he tries to start it
anna 🔫 jason todd Roll: [2] Result: 2
the engine whines and doesn't start.
hm. the woman whips around. she snarls - ] What do you think you're doing?!
[ jason says his very cool line. hua cheng and harrow flip her off, in a moment of gay wrath. the skeleton audience remaining all look at each other, and then look at notes they apparently had in their laps. they start murmuring to each other. Maybe we should see what else is on.
the last few skeletons get up and walk away.
jason turns the key again. the woman lifts her arms, starting to summon some sort of golden light. ]
by which i mean, sweet, beautiful gege, who has sacrificed so much for harrow and hua cheng, who is part of the family, revs and starts. jason throws the car in gear and slams his foot into the gas, and with a squeal of rubber into wooden floor - bang!, he hits the woman in white. blood splatters the front windshield of the car. she bounces off of it.
straight ahead, some kind of... something opens up in front of them, maybe by twenty feet or so. it's made of static - a giant hole. this is your chance. your escape from superhell.
the woman in white is down, but she is unkillable, it seems, though she shrieks in agony about her profits, about how she still has to pay you, how this isn't totally unthinkable, her show help her show - and she starts staggering to her feet behind the car.
[ one more for the road. hua cheng pushes himself up to his feet with some crunchy bones, swallowing down nausea and probably inside blood, before. going to lift harrow. ]
Too slow, meimei, she's not dead yet. [ dryly. time to climb into the back. (he'll kick the woman in white in the face in passing if he can. stay down.) ]
[Yuri has to get in, but it's fine. I somehow rolled well enough he doesn't pass out at the wheel at any time during this, tch.]
Look.
[He points, wincing, at the hole that's opened up while they're all climbing in. He does wait on Yuri, but he starts putting the car in gear so he can get ready to whip it around and head straight for the hole. Out the window:]
[ yuri will get in, but not before literally walking over the woman and stepping on her face to get in the car. ]
I don’t even know what a television is. Mostly.
[ he’ll waggle his fingers at the producer they just ruined physically, emotionally and hopefully financially. mission accomplished. (“he killed two friends this cyoa”) mission accomplished. ]
[ jason guns it once they're in the car. as the writers of superh*ll forget about women, estelle is conveniently not here so there's plenty of space for all of them. as jason whips the car around, they'll see the last of the skeletons wander off, muttering to themselves about "fix it fic", whatever that is.
alas. as the woman gets up, jason guns it. she shrieks and tries to blast them all with some kind of light ray, but it's too late. gege sails through the static hole, and you will all find yourselves bursting into the hotel in style and also blood. like a lot of blood. damn you guys are really hurt.
but you've escaped superh*ll, and in that regard, you are going to return back from whence you came.
FOR THE PARTICIPANTS: HARROWHARK NONAGESIMUS, HUA CHENG, JASON TODD, YURI LECLERC: A GOOD (?) END.
In the purpose of Entertainment as relating to the Hotel, this Excursion is now complete.

Inside of the locket is a picture of a close piece of CR or someone important to you, whether it was someone you saw on the CYOA or otherwise. Your characters will also know that this necklace allows them to access one power from home, and that the stone will lose its light when the power is used. please run your power by your mod team so we can approve it once you've chosen one!
