The Story:

[Network]
[To his right, a mini BDSM dungeon. To his left, some kind of intimate bathing area. A pair of merry carousel horses circle the round bed he woke up in.

Yep, this sure looks like Hotel Kumanami with the serial numbers filed off. It's where Kokichi decides to turn on the camera and broadcast his face on the network for once.]

Ooookay, which one of you guys lost a sexy memory? 'Cause this is weird even by Wonderland standards.

[Hallways]
[What, you thought a cheesy love hotel will deter him from being a gremlin?

He's got some rope from one of the closets in the hotel, but he's not tying up people with it. Instead, he finds two doors facing each other in the hallway and ties the door handles together, leaving just enough slack for one door to open just a tiny crack.

Then he knocks on both doors, steps out of sight, and waits.]

[The caged bandit]
[Somewhere in this hotel, there is a room where the bed is placed within a large cage. Kokichi seems to have trapped himself inside this cage, wearing nothing but a rather luxurious phantom thief costume and a length of chain shackled to his ankle. He sits on the side of the bed, biding his time until the next unwitting "detective" visits their captured criminal...

Okay, he has his limits, but he's been playing this sort of scene out in his head for the longest time and he's really hoping someone suitable is willing to play along. Seriously, the cuff keeping his leg chained to one of the bars is designed to be stupidly easy to break out of. He doesn't have to be here, he just wants to have fun!]

Dude, this is so fucking creepy. I mean, I get it, stands to reason if this place is taking memories, it'd eventually get something like this. But it doesn't make it any less skeevy.

[Don't ask about the horses, don't ask about the horses.]

And then there's- [he trails off, staring at the bed again] yeah no. I have to ask what the holy fuck is up with the carousel horses.

[shslliar]

What, you never seen a love hotel before?

[He looks more playful than snarky here... No, not that kind of playful!]

I dunno about those, [He thumbs at a carousel horse as it bobs past for the 100th time.] Maybe they're just horsin' around?

[Ba dum tish~!]

[teamfun]

Hey, the world ended when I was nine, gimme a break here. I have absolutely not seen a love hotel before.

[And yet he still has a vague idea about what it is Weird, that. Kokichi's pun does make him laugh though.]

I doff my imaginary cap to a most excellent pun, good sir.

[shslliar]

You better hold onto that cap, old boy, 'cause the explaination's gonna be a doozy!

[Inhales...] So! Japan's got a lot of people living in it for such a small country, which means privacy can be a bit of a challenge. So what do horny couples do when they want some peace and quiet? They go book a few hours in the love hotel for a little fun!

You can see where this is going.

[teamfun]

[Louis manages to act surprised. He didn't know all the ins and outs, but he sure knew enough. More than someone torn from the Normal World at the age he was should know. But he's sure not about to say any of that. ]

Woooow. And here's me thinking it was some kind of really specific brothel. I don't know if the real explanation is better or worse. I wonder who the heck has a memory in one of these places?

[shslliar]

[Kokichi's world is full of people with crazy talents and crazier backstories. Even if he bothered to check if Louis was acting, whatever he's thinking of was a drop of water in the ocean of cray cray.]

You haven't seen the other rooms. I hear sometimes these things are crazy themed. Probably fair for a huge pervert or something.

[teamfun]

[Truly, it is hard to compete with the sheer amount of batshit Kokichi has experienced. ]

Dude. I can say this with absolute certainty: I do not want to see the other rooms. Not ever. I saw your room and I genuinely regret that. I don't wanna see what the rest have on offer.

[shslliar]

Then what about the room you're stuck in, huh? Doesn't it creep you out?

[teamfun]

I mean the giant bed is pretty suggestive but I am literally going to use it for sleeping and eating pizza in.

[Because if Clementine so much as stepped toe in the room, he's fairly certain Michonne would kill him.]

I got a cool piano? I mean, it's hard to make grand pianos sexy, so I guess I lucked out there.

[shslliar]

[PIANO.]

Woah, woah, woah. You got a piano?! Does it work?

[teamfun]

Of course? It'd be a pretty shitty fantasy room if I had a piano that didn't work.

[shslliar]

Wooooah! I didn't know you could play piano!

[Kokichi's being reminded of Shuichi's ex right now, except it's Louis and he's good in his books.]

What songs do you know?

[teamfun]

I sure can! It's one of my many indispensable talents.

[According to HIM anyway. Honestly, almost everyone hated the piano thing back home, so he always appreciates it when he gets encouragement for it here.]

I mostly play classical. But I can play a couple folk tunes. Maybe even some modern music, so long as I could hear it first, get a good feel for the tune.

[shslliar]

Classical? I would never have guessed.

[Kokichi would understand the gripes, but if zombies were weak to classic piano music he'd be a star. Or something.]

You need sheet music or something?

[teamfun]

What can I say? I'm a sucker for musical roots.

[Classical is the hill he will die on and he's fine with that.]

If I don't know the song all that well, yeah. I know a couple off the top of my head.

Network

[keephersafe]

Not it. [R replies, though if he's honest, as someone who has lost most of his memory he can't be entirely certain of that (until Souji steps forwards, at least). He hasn't walked into a room yet, though some of the corridors are off-putting enough.]

Maybe it's more than one person...

[shslliar]

[Zombie on a phone, what else is new.]

How could this be more than one person? Is everyone going to the love hotel now?

[keephersafe]

[Sigh! He rubs the side of his head.]

Just... feels like a lot... to just belong to one person.

[Okay, he doesn't know that things like this actually exist.]

[shslliar]

Eeeh... I'm waiting to see if anything else happens. Like, I dunno. Pod people?

It can't be just two people thinking of love hotels.

[keephersafe]

Pod people?

[Help him out here.]

So long as it isn't zombies again.

[shslliar]

You know, getting replaced by an alien doppleganger?

Love hotel zombies would be weird, though...

[keephersafe]

Oh, hm. [New phrase. Filed away. Hopefully not in a drawer with a trick bottom.]

Don't really want to think about that.

[shslliar]

Too bad, we're all stuck here now.

Hallways

[howsitgoindude]

[Soos...doesn't know about this place. It's kinda super inappropriate, with there being kids here? And he feels weird hanging out in any of the rooms, knowing what they're...for.

So he's just sort of wandering the halls, checking to see if there's any rooms that don't seem suspect. And then he sees some tied up doors and stops to stare.]

Man. I do not get this place.

[Should he untie the doors? Is this some weird kinky thing he doesn't get? Somebody must've tied the doors from the outside, right?

Soos looks around.]

Uh, hello? Is this-- am I interrupting something?

Re: Hallways

[shslliar]

[Oh, hey! It's the guy with the arcade from that one event! Kokichi has no idea what he's really like, so...]

Nah, I'm just waiting on a friend to meet up with me...

[So he says, until he notices Soos is staring at the rope.]

Or are you talking about the weird set up over here? [He thumbs at the rope like he wasn't the one who set it up.]

[like247]

What if this is someone's entire world??? Just a weird sex hotel?

[Yep, that's just what she says back, without anything else, though the image behind her is of the oddest Leave it to Beaver room. How is this sexy?]

[shslliar]

[Kokichi has no idea what kind of TV America had in the 50's, but it's not exactly his kink.]

Oh. My god. I feel so sorry for the poor sap who actually lives here.

[like247]

Maybe it's like Wonderland? You get zapped there at some point, because not even thinking about like kids here.

[Because they're totally not kids, nope.]

1/2

[shslliar]

[Nope, not even the guy who looks younger than he is.]

Yeah, imagine waking up in a love hotel with a bunch of other captives. Can you imagine what...

2/2

[shslliar]

They're there... For.

[Kokichi has come to some unfortunate conclusions here.]

[like247]

...


....


[There's just quiet from Wendy for a while.]

So I'm totally not opening any door I don't knock on first and even then? Naw, I'm just finding a room and hiding there.

[shslliar]

You can crash here if ya like. It's pretty bland for a love hotel room.

[TRYING NOT TO THINK OF IT. NOPE. NUH UH.]

[like247]

Let's just totally call it a hotel room. Yep, that's all it is.

[What is wrong with adults? Maybe this is why being there and not growing up is a good thing.]

[shslliar]

Yep, just a really cheap hotel room.

[Look, it's not just an adult problem. Kokichi just so happen to know a couple of folks his age who happened to be horny on main.]

[like247]

So what do people our age do in hotels? Never actually stayed in one.

[shslliar]

Wait, seriously?

You're... What? 17 years old, and you've never been in a hotel before? [He's assuming she's 17 at least.]

[like247]

[Wendy shrugs.]

We lived in a cabin in the woods, and when we went on trips, we camped. My dad didn't want us growing up with luxuries. The mansion was the closets thing to one ever.

[shslliar]

[Kokichi, a city boy from a small, crowded country, shakes his head and tuts.]

Your father was sadly mistaken, my friend. A hotel in its simplest form is just like the rooms in Wonderland without the customization. You sleep, you bathe, you probably watch TV if it's in your room... That's it.

If you want to do more than that, then it starts getting luxurious.

[like247]

It's electricity, and central heating, and food delivered when you want it. That's luxuries.

[Which they are from a girl raised by Manly Dan.]

Trust me. I stayed with my friends a lot. Summer. No AC. Three brothers. Yeah, sleepovers happened a lot.

[shslliar]

You can't be serious.

[Culture shock. Absolute culture shock.]

Don't you at least get blankets?!

[like247]

Yes! And sleeping bags, and tents, and at home I have a bed and everything. But we don't have central air. We're on a mountain and have windows.

[For her it's just totally normal, even if she knows it isn't for her friends.]

[shslliar]

[Whelp. Adding that to the list of weird things Kokichi knows about his friends. Right next to the one guy who was raised by literal wolves.]

You live on a mountain? What do you do in the winter to keep warm?!

[like247]

Well the side of a mountain. [Wendy shrugs, not really finding anything all that odd about it.] Like more in the woods than in Gravity Falls proper. And we totally have a wood burning stove.

[shslliar]

Ooooooh... I knew that.

[Totally.

He leans back on the bed, holding the device out so Wendy can still see him lounging on the plush covers.]

Glad to see you guys weren't completely exposed to the elements.

[like247]

It isn't as bad as it sounds to some. Though I spent all summer in town.

[ And part of it because of how the house is, but she isn't ready to admit that. ]

You seem to be enjoying this place.

[shslliar]

I guess I'll take your word for it.

[Eh, he'll take weird cozy wilderness town over what he'd have to go home to. Hopefully he never has to...]

Hey, it ain't so bad for a kinky funhouse of horrors. The beds are comfy.
