-??? (Corpse Room), 6pm-

*Josie screams when the corpse’s head falls off*
Josie: Sorry
*She clears her throat*
*It rolls over to Devin’s foot and he kicks it like a soccer ball with a grin*
*The head almost hits Naya, but touches Boomer instead
*Naya mutters under her breath*
Naya: Cat boy…
*Boomer notices the head and freaks out*
Boomer: What the hell is happening!?
Dina: And what the hell is “Jutamondo”?
*Boomer composes himself when he remembers Dina is here*
*Eric wipes the bugs off his face*
*Alex looks up from his notebook*
Alex: Whatever is happening isn’t normal, any blind person could see that. There couldn’t have been that many bugs living in him for this long
*Zach picks up the corpse head and looks into the mouth*
Zach: I don’t know, this mouth looks pretty deep
*Vivienne shakes her head*
Vivienne: I should have stayed in… Oh-
*She catches herself on Eric*
Eric: Vivienne? What’s wrong?
*Vivienne collapses in Eric’s arms*
Eric: Vivienne!
*He looks around the room*
Devin: She’ll be fine, the stress probably got to her. Take her to her bed, she’ll recover in an hour or so
*Eric nods*
Josie: We should all go, this place is creeping me out
*She rubs her arm*
Naya: I agree, this room looks empty enough. We can come back once we find out what Jutamondo is
Dina: Maybe we have to come back *to* find out what Jutamondo is
*Everyone in the group grabs back their Kopu Kopus*
*Josie hangs onto the one that was re-gifted to Meghan because they’re gonna “Betty and Veronica” over it*
*Boomer grabs Bethy’s Kopu Kopu for her and Eric slips Vivienne’s into her pocket*
*They walk back to the hotel*
Boomer: Hopefully the potluck is going better than this

-Hotel Halls (1st Floor), 6:10pm-

Bethy: Jesus Christ!

*Bethy runs out of Martin’s room and paces around outside*
*Abeer follows her out, holding his nose*
Bethy: How did nobody smell this?
*She waves her hand at the stench, trying not to throw up*
*Abeer nods, equally disgusted*
Abeer: Especially being on the first floor. Mighty suspicious if you ask me
*He lets go of his nose when they’re further away*
*Bethy groans*
Bethy: This whole death island is “mighty suspicious.” Holt can’t serious charge us if we want to leave
*Abeer shrugs*
Abeer: He can pretty much do whatever he wants at this point. By now though he must be fearing for his own safety, as we all are
*Bethy rolls her eyes*
Bethy: No need to be scared when you’re the one calling the shots
*Abeer raises an eyebrow*
Abeer: That’s a very strong accusation
Bethy: You seriously think Holt is oblivious to all of this on his *own* island!?
*Abeer shrugs*
Abeer: I never said that, but I do believe a good mystery doesn’t have such a black and white answer
*Bethy sighs*
Bethy: Black and while will do for me.. For now at least
*Bethy and Abeer turn to their attention to Holt and Livie*
*Holt just called Livie over*
Livie: I know Holt, I’ll get this mess cleaned up

*She seems completely out of it*
*Holt shakes his head*
Holt: No, not that
*Livie swallows*
<Oh god, he remembered seeing my Kopu Kopu light. I didn’t know the things could even glow!>
Holt: I could have sworn I saw something outside
*Holt points to where he saw the people in masks*
Holt: They were standing outside, wearing masks I think
*Livie sighs*
Livie: Holt, it was probably nothing
<It was *probably* the people who ditched out on the potluck trying to prank Holt. I swear if they opened that stone door and only found silly masks, I’ll kill them>
*Holt shakes his head franticly*
Holt: Livie I swear! I saw them!!
*Livie agrees with him*
Livie: Okay okay, then you saw them. What do you wanna do about it?
*Holt spots the group from the cave walk into the lobby and gives them a dirty look*
Holt: I know exactly what I need to do

-Lobby, 6:15pm-

*Holt calls everyone to him from the potluck*
Holt: Everyone gather around please!
*Everyone is now combined into one big group in the lobby*
Holt: It has recently come to my attention that I’ve neglected to provide a safe environment for all of you
*Daisy grumbles*
Daisy: Yeah, no shit
*Jackie lightly elbows her*
Jackie: I’m trying to listen
*Holt continues*
Holt: As of now the hotel will officially be on lockdown. No more dangerous adventures in the woods or doing “whatever it is you do outside”
*Holt glares at the group who returned from the cave*
*Holt now suspects they were dressed up as the wolves too, as a joke*
Holt: Pranks or no pranks, murders have been occurring. I heard rumours of Clove from Ship C being murdered and although a body was never found, my staff can confirm they haven’t seen her in quite a while. What happened with the bear and the medical staff was traumatic, but not unexplainable. Now however…
*He looks at the group grimly*
Holt: Martin Hudspith was found in his room a little while ago. He appeared to be crucified
*The group clammers to each other in horror*
Jade: I’m scared Raven
Raven: *I’m* scared Jade
*The sisters hold each other*
Meghan: I’m sorry, crucified? Like Jesus!?
*She doesn’t seem to buy it*
*Holt adjusts his tie uncomfortably*
Holt: We aren’t sure yet if the killing was for religious reasons or otherwise, but we will confirm when we get more answers
*The group tries to talk over Holt*
Passenger #1: Won’t we be locked *in* with the killer?
Passenger #2: What if we run out of food!
Passenger #3: Are we finishing the potluck or not?
*Holt rubs his head*
Holt: We’ll get this all sorted out! Trust us!
*Holt turns and whispers on his walkie-talkie*
*Everyone in the lobby hears the doors lock*
Holt: There. No one in or out. This mystery will be solved, you bet yourself that
*Holt takes off with Livie, leaving the group to panic to each other*
