Introduction
Character Types (applies to both male and female):
Researcher: - You were here for a reason. You entered this place to dig deeper into the secrets that the walls have started to conceal. Or is it something connected to your past? Either way, you have a job you need to fulfill in this place. That's why you probably came here.
Stranded: - Honestly, how the hell did you even end up here? Were you escaping a storm or something and this place is the only shelter in sight? Well, you probably came to this place for refuge but maybe now you realize that this place isn't much of a refuge than you originally thought. Maybe.
Coincidence: - It was so simple really. You may have been driving by then suddenly, you found yourself staring at this eerie establishment. You don't know how it draws you inside only, that it does. And sometimes, you even doubt what would have happened if you didn't look out your window...
Amnesiac: - How? Why? Such questions probably flooded your mind when you suddenly woke up in one of the rooms. You don't know how you got here, nor do you remember anything else related to this place. Questions though: Did you enter by your own free will? Or did something drag you in?
Thrill Seeker: - This looked like a fun place to hangout! Or is it your love for the unknown? Either way, you are very enthusiastic about the promise of adventure and excitement that awaits inside the dark walls. Unlike the researcher who may have only entered due to obligation, you are here to just explore, without any thought of risk and reward. Will you still feel the same afterwards though? This place may just kill your penchant for the unknown.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 7 authors
Surprisingly there was not much dust inside. The floor was covered with a crumbed concrete grit, fallen from the ceiling, and there were old spider webs over her head, but otherwise seemed that the place had not changed for the last 20 years. When she walked towards the shower bases, she checked out the showers. Dry. 'Everything is so clean here' Rachel thought to herself.
She pointed the flashlight towards one of the cupboards. There were two white towels inside, each with a sign. 'Probably a hotel logo' Rachel thought to herself and took both towels. Looking at the showers for the final round she heard Ryuko calling her.
Rachel walked back to the entrance. When she noticed Ryuko she moved her hands up, showing her the towels and smiled "Trophies" she said handing one of them to her. "And nothing else" She stated "Surprisingly clean here, I think we are the first people who entered, since that poor maid anyway. Let's go to that bar. Maybe Ayase got something more."
The setting changes from Fujioka Galar to Main Lobby
or at least as far as he could see.
"Abandoned. I should of known I'd have the luck to be stranded near an empty building of all places. No, nothing like a cafe or a gas station or even a farm." He griped, his body rather soaked from the rain outside. He set the soggy newspaper he used to shield himself from the rain down squarely next to the entrance doorway. It was not that he intended on picking the mess back up on his way out, he was just particular when it came to orderliness. He put his hands in his pockets and started looking around since he figured himself alone.
He came up to the front desk. Looking at the surroundings the building definitely looked as though it had seen better days. What caught his eyes was an old call bell sitting on the desk. He wondered if it actually still worked considering the undetermined length of time this place has been left to age so poorly.
Ring! Ring!
He smiled at the novel chime of the bell, still able to ring despite the dilapidation around it. "Looks like something survived whatever disaster struck this place." He thought out loud. He gave the bell another couple rings and then again. He probably shouldn't of been so easily amused by it but considering he was all alone here he needed something, anything really, to keep his mind off the shivers which was starting to creep up his body. The cold wet clothes loosely clinging to his body were quite cold and not getting any warmer. He took his time to ring the bell for a bit, it's delightful little tone carrying well into the building.
"Aahh! Damn it! Where are those kids?" She walked out of the bar, shining her light around the place, hoping to alert the others that she has already moved out. She was on her way to the sauna when she heard a bell ring.
Ring! Ring!
Now, two thoughts rushed into Ayase's mind as she heard the sound. It could either be another person, who has entered this forsaken building or it could be the ghosts of the place, haunting her. Both thoughts were entertaining, so to say but as a journalist, she kind of knows that there is a logical explanation for each phenomena. But there are also two routes that she can take. She can either wait for the rest of the kids to come back, or she can face whoever is ringing the bell herself. She toyed with the idea for a bit as she stood by the doorway that connects the showers to the main lobby.
"Come on, Ayase. You're twenty-four years old and you know karate so, what could possibly go wrong? Oh wait, the dude may have a gun... then you're screwed."
Fighting back her fears, she finally decided to reveal herself to whoever was waiting outside. "Well, I've lived a pretty fulfilled and enthusiastic life until now. There is no shame if ever I meet my end in this place. If I have to throw away my life in the face of a menace then so be it! Death is not the end of life, but rather, the completion of it..." As she walked calmly outside, what she saw was no menace. He didn't even seem like a vandal, much less a robber or a kidnapper. She sighed in relief. "Well, so much for the unnecessary drama...", she thought, scratching her head as she lowered her guard.
She called out to him to get his attention. "Hey! What are you doing in this place? Are you lost Mister?"
He immediately perked up upon hearing somebody else's voice. He was previously under the impression that there was likely not a single person in the whole building. "Oh! Hello!" He responded in a happy tone, genuinely pleased to see someone.
He was quickly making his way over to her when he saw something out of the corner of his eye which put a big damper on his mood. A skeleton dressed as the greeter lay in a crumpled head just beneath the desk, cobwebs hanging from it's dusty bones. It appeared that she, the gender being indicative judging from the skirt and female specific shirt, was hiding under the desk upon death as she was curled up in the fetal position. His smile quickly turned to a look of horror and then over to a nervous smile as he looked back over to the stranger who had called out to him.
He walked on over to her with much less spring to his step than before. Once in talking range he bowed most formally to her. "Hello. My name is Sen Ueno. I am wondering if you drove here by car or perhaps bike. You see, my car's battery has died so I'm kind of stranded here unless I can get it running." He explained his situation to her as calmly as he could. He tried to keep eye contact but the place really got to his nerves causing him to look over his shoulder more times than would be normal.
"Where is here anyways? I wasn't aware this place had quite the history it seems to have." He really did wonder where here even was. The corpse did scare him a little, the possibility of danger coming to mind. It was really odd too, the bodies laying around like so. Someone should of picked up the bodies by now, even if it is just the police. This isn't normal...
Rachel heard a distant tone of a bell. "Do you here that bell?" She asked Ryuko "Let's go!" She added and bolted towards the main lobby. It probably was the old call bell she'd seen on the receptionist's desk, but to her ears it sounded like a fire alarm.
It was a bit rude, but she didn't even check if Ryuko was following her. She was just running not caring about how loud her boots are. She had quickly passed the kitchen and appeared at the entrance to the main lobby. There was Ayase standing in front of a man, who was... bowing in front of her talking about a car and asking about this place.
When the two looked at her - well... they MUST have heard her steps she thought it was a time to say something. "H... khy!... Hi, I'm Rachel Jones, and... we're wondering around this place trying to figure out what's going on here" She stated with a smile.
Not knowing what to say more she looked down at the tops of her boots. She noticed and remembered herself about a towel she held in her hand. She lifted her hand up, attempting to say something about shower rooms...
The setting changes from Main Lobby to Fujioka Galar
Ayase heard Ryuko and Rachel approaching from the shower rooms. She turned back to the man who introduced himself as Sen Ueno and answered back.
"Sadly no. I came here on a long twenty minute walk from where the last vehicle I took dropped me off." She tried to recall all the things she rode in but decided against it since she'll only feel more tired. "I don't know about these other guys though." She said, glancing at the newly arrived people.
She noticed his uneasiness as he stood in that place. Well, of course! Who wouldn't be unnerved at the sight of all these corpses, skeletons and whatnot. "At least you didn't see that cockroach infested one..." Ayase walked closer. "Unnerving eh? I'm a journalist by trade and I'm here to investigate what caused this infrastructure to suddenly collapse. We haven't made much headway though, so I'm tagging along with these people. Name's Ayase. Kaminaga Ayase." She extended her hand to greet the stranded guy.
The setting changes from Fujioka Galar to Main Lobby
Another girl had emerged from the halls and greeted him. She seemed to be a bit reserved, something rather understandable as he wasn't the most bold individual himself. It was a little odd that she was holding a towel but nothing he was particularly driven to ask about. In fact, the towel could prove to be handy considering his rain dampened apparel. "Hello Rachel.
I am Sen Ueno. It is good to meet you." He introduced himself to her as well to be polite. Right now even though his clothes were a bit wet this wasn't all too bad. The company was quite welcoming even if the environment wasn't.
"Sadly no. I came here on a long twenty minute walk from where the last vehicle I took dropped me off."
Not the answer he was hoping for. "I don't know about these other guys though." Her words mirrored his thoughts.
He did wonder if anyone else came here by something with a battery to help him out with.
"Unnerving eh? I'm a journalist by trade and I'm here to investigate what caused this infrastructure to suddenly collapse. We haven't made much headway though, so I'm tagging along with these people. Name's Ayase. Kaminaga Ayase."
He reached out and shook her hand. "Good to meet you Ayase." He was happy to at least be shaking hands with someone.
The fact she came here to investigate the place was quite interesting. He would never of even considered coming here which made her somewhat bold choice of location impressive, at least to him. "This place is definitely unnerving. I don't suppose that unless someone you're with happens to have a battery I can charge my car with I could tag along with you people for now?"
He asked with some concern in his voice. In a place as unnerving and dismal as this one was he definitely did not want to be alone here. He figured he could ask whoever else she's with if they have anything they could help him with. Still, even the thought of being stuck here while everyone else fanned out without him sent a few chills up his spine.
It simply couldn't be helped.
"Oh, also if it is alright may I borrow your towel?" He asked Rachel for the towel she was carrying. As he was feeling right then the whole area seemed quite frigid since the water was leeching what little warmth he still had.
She didn't know what to say when Sen asked her about the towel.
"It's not... not mine... I... I guess so" she answered when she realized the man really needed it. 'He must have been caught by the rain I escaped' Girl thought. "...but wait a second, please" she added and walked towards Ayase. She showed her the towel and a sign printed on it. "We've been to shower rooms." Rachel started talking. "We found nothing there, but the corpse of a poor maid and the towels in one of the cupboards. Look at it. There's a sign, probably a hotel logo..." Girl handed over the towel to Ayase.
"But the most interesting thing was that the place is so clean... Beside the corpse that is. It seemed that the place had not changed for the last 20 years. There was some cocrete dust on the floor, but it really makes an impression!"
As Ayase was checking out the towel Rachel added: "I think he needs it more than we do" She pointed her head towards Sen "if you want to check it more, Ryuko's got the spare one."
The setting changes from Main Lobby to Fujioka Galar
"Well, aside from the logo, nothing much could point why this place shut down. After my own investigation and your own, I think the clean spots and the dirty spots vary within this hotel, depending on how people died or how it was affected by whatever caused this place to shut down." Ayase replied, remembering the cockroaches and the body she saw.
Scanning the place a bit more, she saw the elevators and headed there. It obviously wasn't working but she wanted to check it out anyway. There were two of them, possibly so that they have more means of transporting people around. Peeking at the small opening, she saw that both cabs were on the floor they were at, meaning that people may have used it to escape during the calamity.
"Maybe some survived the incident after all. I should have just set up an appointment with them in that case. Though, I suppose it would be hard to find them now."
Wanting to find out more, she called the others to her side and pointed to the elevators. She asked Ryuko to help her open her side and Sen and Rachel to open the other cab.
"Let's check what's inside here. Maybe a poor bellboy got stuck here and he's carrying around some batteries. Who knows but at least the possibility is there right?" As she gripped on to her side of the door, she can already see that her chosen cab was very dirty and there are some things hanging on the ceiling.
