You open the door to find what looks like a storage room, with marionettes hanging on the walls that look like yourself and the other guests of the Starlight Hotel. The strings belonging to any guests who are dead have been cut, and the expressions on their painted faces are grotesque and in pain. The marionettes of the living stare eerily at you with glassy, lifeless eyes, as if they're waiting for someone to pick them up and make them move. If you try to touch any of the marionettes of the living, you will hear a voice hiss "M̶̦͕̰̼͊̆i̴̱͒̌͜N̵̘̎̏̔e̸̛̟͆͝ͅ". You will then suddenly find yourself back in the hall, disoriented and feeling like you've just been slapped on the wrist. Only four minutes have passed.
[ it's no #1, but 7 is supposed to be lucky, right?? so this seems like as good a room as any to check out! (it is not.)
sebastian opens the door and peeks inside. time to find out what fresh puppet hell awaits us here. ]
[ but he sure wouldn't be surprised if they started!!!
he'll go over for a closer look too, though he's still hanging a little further back, because yikes. and speaking of yikes, now that he's actually seeing the face on one of these things— ]
[ he really doesn't want to see his own, because eugh, but also he's morbidly curious... and self conscious... so he's going along the wall to try to find it now. ]
Yeah, that's exactly why I carry it everywhere! You never know what kind of dangerous or gross stuff you might find at a crime scene!
[ nods ]
O-okay then! ...This one's you, right?
[ double checking because you are relatively normal looking?? anyway, okay, with confirmation on that, he's just going to... gently touch the marionette's hair with the tip of the baton... ]

[ kazu's not nearly so timid, heading straight up to the puppets to peer at them curiously. but yikes is right! ]
...Us? [ ... ] They're really into the horror movie vibes here, aren't they?

[ also stepping a little closer! he's curious about the craftsmanship, but once he realizes how they were designed, he pulls back. ]
What the heck...? It'd be one thing if they just wanted to put on a show, but why would they look like they're being hurt?
no subject
[ maybe making kind of a vague needle poking gesture at the air because he does not remember what voodoo dolls are called ]

[ staring into the abyss of his marionette's eyes as they stare back... ]
I-I don't know, what if it does something weird...
no subject
Or there's probs something we could poke them with, so neither of us have to get too close.

Yep yep! Look, it's got my hat and everything.
[ it'd be cute if not for the grotesque expression. anyway he waits for seb to do his thing! ]
...I didn't feel a thing! So that rules out the voodoo doll theory.
