Apparently Infamous
You wake up in a daze. Nausea overwhelms your entire body. Taking deep breaths to calm yourself, you look upward. What greets you is the color blue. Almost everything in this room has a blue hue. Getting up, you try to find the exit, however there is no exit. Panicking, you try and recall your last memory. Not remembering anything, you feel throbbing pain in your head. Sliding down the wall, you begin breathing unsteadily. Where are you? Who are you? Why did you come? DID you come? Taking a moment to calm down, you start looking around. Grabbing a handle and falling forward. You then realize that it is dark. Fumbling around in the shadows, you find a light switch. Flipping it on, you shield your eyes from the brightness. Eventually they adjust and you turn your gaze backward. It appears you are in some sort of hotel room. There is a bed, a television, a drawer for clothes too. Opening the door to your left, you find a bathroom fully stocked with basic toiletries. It would appear you woke up in a closet. You dash into the bathroom and splash your face with water. This has to be a dream right? Or maybe you're in your hotel room with a little bit of forgetfulness? Wiping your face, you wander out and see that there is a another door around a corner. Latching onto the knob, you open the door and find yourself staring at the railing of a staircase. To your left is a single door which appears to lead to a room like yours, on the right are four other such doors. Walking down the staircase, you are greeted with an odd sight...
A bar? You don't recall coming to a bar, let alone renting a room. Walking over and taking a seat, the bartender notices you. He is a man in a strange blue outfit. His eyes are yellow and his hair is white. You try to speak, yet no words come out. "Ah yes, you have awakened". His voice is smooth and evenly toned. You awakened? Does he know what's going on here? Pouring you a strange blue drink, the man seems to be friendly. "My name is Theodore, this is the Velvet Bar... a nice little remnant of that room setting". Room setting? What is this weirdo talking about? Feeling sick again, you gulp down the blue liquid. It tasted like bubblegum and raspberries. It sent waves of warmth through your body and calmed you. Attempting to speak again, you find that words escape you. "My Master is currently out taking care of business, without him here... I'm afraid we cannot get you home safely". You stare at him.... his Master? Who was this guy and where the hell were you?! "Fortunately, he will return soon. Until then, please enjoy our services". Reluctantly, you accept that you may have to stay here a while. Theodore pours you another drink, you gulp it down and slide your cup forward. It seemed they weren't asking for payment so why not enjoy the odd situation. "You are our second unexpected guest in years. My sister Margaret was the one who handled the first" There was someone else here as well?! Handled? What does that mean... Before you can ask, or grunt, Theodore starts speaking again. "She entertained that guest with a story. So I shall follow suit. As previously stated, this room is what remains of its former state. It changes depending on who visits. So the story I will tell is of a group of exceptional guests...and the ordeal they faced"
