Welcome to the Hotel Exotica

>>Light Phipps' pipe for him and ask to come along to the meeting with Le Brute as backup.

>> Larry "accidentally" open the cabinets and take the picture down with his extra arm...
>> Jimmy quickly excuses for Larry's clumsiness and checks for anything interesting in the cabinet or behind the picture (and discretely pockets if there's anything).

Jimmy pretends to light Old Man Phipps' pipe, but of course he has nothing with which to light it. He attempts to broach the subject of hanging around until the muscular debt collectors show up, but is distracted by his efforts to steal the banana boat picture. Meanwhile Larry does his utmost to avoid the insatiable appetites of Magnificent Mable, "accidentally" opening the cabinet door as he does so. It has the smell of an Egyptian exhibit at the museum, but unfortunately he is too distracted by the chorus of creaking joints pursuing him to investigate the contents of the cabinet further at this time.

Mandle · Wed 22/04/2015 14:09:33

Ahhhhhh that's right....we used the last match to light the garbage can...

>>Jimmy jumps down from the table and grabs the window blind cord. He runs to Mable pulling the cord and blind to their limits. He ties the cord quickly around Mable's ankles and then gives it a tug, hoping that this will ensnare her upside-down hanging from the window blind. Larry feels around inside the cabinet.

I'm glad we lit that garbage can though. Can you imagine what would have happened if we didn't?

A lot off colour but...
Use pink (latex?) duck stocking on zombie arm and throw it into Mabel's arms in hope of quenching her violent lust!
Ewwww yuk

Sorry folks, I've still got company at my house. I'll try to get an update in by tomorrow.

>> Jimmy examine corpse in cupboard

Baron · Sat 25/04/2015 02:51:53

Jimmy manages to tie Magnificent Mable's feet with the blind cord, and then retracts the mechanism to suspend her helplessly upside down. For a moment thereafter Jimmy envies Larry his blindness, but then turns his attention with relief to the cupboard full of corpses. My, there are a lot of them! There must be a collector of semi-mummified human remains resident here at the hotel. Either that, or something nefarious is going on here....

Meanwhile, Larry is very satisfied with his use of a latex duck sock on his new feeler-wand. Now it's new, and improved!. He blindly casts a glance around the room for something to use it on. But unbeknownst to our daring duo, Old Man Phipps suddenly succumbs to his age and the stress of owing money to violent gangsters, dying right there on the table in a puddle of his own tea! Whoever will pay his massive gambling debts now??

Mandle · Sat 25/04/2015 09:34:45

>>Grab the cash, the old dude's hat and pipe, and the cup. Put the hat on Larry's head. Get the heck outa the room!

Baron · Tue 28/04/2015 04:05:57

Jimmy unceremonially strips the corpse of Old Man Phipps of anything of value, which consists of his prized pipe, his bowler hat, and all his wife's money (totalling an astounding $45). Unfortunately the antique tea cup he was nursing was smashed in the process of his unfortunate demise. Magnificent Mabel hectors the pilfering pair from her snare at the window, but is powerless to stop them from their calloused banditry.

Jimmy and Larry then flee into the hall, discretely closing the door behind them. There seem to be more cockroaches in the hallway than they remember, but otherwise it is empty of witnesses.

The pair are now carrying: loaded revolver, 3 spare bullets, regurgitated case notes, wallet, woman's earring, blanket/cape, empty duffel bag, charm necklace, old poker chip, 1/2 used purple lipstick, feeler wand, wallpaper, severed arm, latex duck stockings, tobacco pipe, bowler hat, $45 in unmarked bills, and a nagging burden of guilt.

Mandle · Tue 28/04/2015 06:40:49

>>Examine the burden of guilt. How big and what shape and colour is it? Have Larry sniff it and see what he makes of it. Finally determine if it is able to be opened in any way and if so, do so and look inside!

Frodo · Tue 28/04/2015 13:45:40

>> Take cockroaches

>> Go downstairs

Baron · Wed 29/04/2015 04:01:55

Larry attempts to acquire a cockroach, but the little scamps are far too quick and agile to be caught. At his approach they all scurry under the door to the old couple's room.

Jimmy, meanwhile, examines the burden of guilt. It is of medium size, but seems to have the propensity to swell if the situation deteriorates. Its shape defies description, but in terms of hue it is a healthy pink. According to Larry it smells of sweat and nicorette gum.

The prying pair prepare to head downstairs.

Mandle · Wed 29/04/2015 04:07:57

I'm thinking we can keep the burden of guilt growing by being even bigger rotters and cads and then use it later to block an enemy's escape or even maybe crush them outright so:

>>Pocket the burden of guilt carefully and head downstairs as planned...

Frodo · Sat 02/05/2015 00:12:56

>> Jimmy slide down banister to floor below

>> Larry wear charm necklace

Baron · Sat 02/05/2015 02:33:56

Apparently I only "previewed" this yesterday without actually "posting" it.

The Gumption Gumshoes proceed down the stairs. At the first landing they discover several potential inventory possibilities, including a gateway to the cockroach nest, a woman's orphaned shoe, and a mysterious irregularly shaped carpet stain. The thumping of heavy boots indicates that someone else is in the stairwell, climbing up towards them.

Mandle · Sat 02/05/2015 04:29:07

>>Tell Larry to stop where he is. Draw revolver. Point it at the dude climbing the stairs and say quietly "Nice and easy now big guy: Hands where I can see 'em...And not a peep please..." If he concurs then question him about the missing girl. If not...then BLAMMO!!!

(I'm assuming this is Mr. Le Brute so good riddance to bad rubbish if he ends up with a ventilated forehead as far as I'm concerned)

Meanwhile Larry sniffs the air for any hints.

Ryan Timothy B · Sat 02/05/2015 12:55:48

Noooo!!! Don't miss out on a golden opportunity!

>> Make out session! Distract the burly man with the sight of these two men attached by their mouths!
