warning: this meme may contain elements of horror or violence. if these things trigger you, proceed with caution.
❝ Welcome, guests, to the Hotel California! We have dancing, dining and the very best service available! And do remember, you can check out at any time you'd like... ❞
The premise of this meme is simple: Your character is now in the lovely
Hotel California, located in scenic, well, California, either on purpose or otherwise! Everything there is wonderful, picture perfect in every way imaginable! Until you want to leave, of course.
how the meme works
Head on over to
ye ol' RNG (it's right next to the bar, you can't miss it!), and roll for a number between 1 and 4. When replying to a comment, roll for yourself, and a set up a scenario from there!
1. You're a guest! Let the bellhops take your bags and show you to your room!
2. You're a concerned friend/relative/what-have you. Someone very dear to you checked in here ages ago and hasn't come back yet, so it's time to investigate! Keep in mind though, the management doesn't like a snoop...
3. You're an employee of some sort! It's a joy to be able to work here, and there isn't much that you wouldn't do to ensure the Hotel's continued success!
4. You're one of the Hotel's infamous ghosts! Perhaps you're a friendly prankster, or a ill-fated former guest that seeks to warn others, or... Perhaps you're the one people need to be warned of, hmm?
if you rolled a one
Reroll for a number between 1 and 4 to find out what kind of guest you are!
1. You're brand new! Maybe you came here for a nice long vacation, or you just planned to say the night. No matter what, you probably can't tell anything is up yet-- Or can you?
2. You're a happy guest! No matter how long you've been here, you absolutely adore it; What's there not to love? Nothing, you tell us!
3. You're a suspicious guest. You've been hearing what? Talking in empty rooms? Been told by someone to get out while you can? How silly-- But wait, you mean to say you might believe it?
4. You're a very, very bad guest. Why on earth would you try and run away? Beat in walls? Attack your fellow guests? Such things are unforgivable, and a blight on the record! Don't worry, we won't call the police... But you might be begging for us to do so by the end of our "chat".
5. You're a guest that's desperate to stay. For whatever reason, despite the fact your funds have run out, or your vacation is drawing to a close, there's nothing you wouldn't do to stay just a little long. And we do mean nothing.
if you rolled a 3
Reroll for a number between 1 and 3 to find out what kind of employee you are!
1. You're a common worker. Be you a maid or waitress or cook or bellhop, you're low on the chain but still integral to the continued excellence of the hotel. You typically do exactly what it says on the tin, but sometimes you're needed to do the nitty-gritty...
2. You're part of the social force. These are usually the desk staffers, the doormen, the sitters (leave your children in our nannies' tender loving care!), anyone that interacts closely with our dear guests. It's up to you to listen to their concerns and worries, and then promptly soothe them and ease their minds. Take care of their problems, one way or the other.
3. You're management! Be you the assistant manager, the assistant manager's assistant or even the manager themself, you run things around here! You decide what happens, from changing the drapes, to next week's menu, to deciding what to do with that one guest that keeps disturbing the peace. Just because you're the boss doesn't mean that you're above the work your employees do sometimes, remember.
