THE END

THE END

With all of the decisions made and punishments decided on, the Lady finally walks over to the the front doors to Hotel California. "Guests," she says, "Thank you for your stay here. We hope to see all of you again soon."

And with that, she opens the doors for the first time in six long weeks.

The Hotel has settled onto an idyllic beach in sunny California. Despite it being January, it is a nice, comfortable temperature for swimming and beachgoing. There aren't any people on this beach, though. No, besides the Hotel itself, there is... another hotel of some sort? And nearby, spaced out on the beach, are five different various spooky-looking houses. There is an attendant in a uniform standing near the entrance to the other hotel, but no other people outside. The attendant is waving to the Lady, and the Lady smiles and waves back.

But regardless of if you stay to figure out what's going on with all these different buildings all here in one location, or if you just leave, one thing is clear:

The game of Mafia is finally over.

I'm the Attendant, from the Lodge!

[She's very perky and bouncy, and she comes right up to Inaba to shake her hand.]

Thank you so much for taking care of Mom! We all were so worried about her!

[dereban]

[ UM

UH ]

I didn't really do anything, but I guess you're welcome on their behalf?

[foundationmods]

All of you helped in some way. We feed on emotions, so just being there helped her.

[dereban]

I heard that you guys feed on positive emotions, though.

[ laughs at her own emotions hollowly

totally unconvinced ]

[foundationmods]

That is our food, yes. Positive emotions keep us fed and happy. But negative emotions help us grow. That's why we start out as haunted houses.

[The Attendant gestures to the five haunted houses nearby.]

I was like that too, once. As was Mom. But as we grow, we change shape and form. Nowadays I don't need the negative energy as much anymore, and I can just take in guests and keep them happy. I actually work for the Foundation, so you might be sent to me sometimes!

[dereban]

. . . huh.

That's good to know though, thanks.

[ just going to tuck that information in the back of her mind now ]

[foundationmods]

It's no trouble whatsoever! And if you ever need a rest, feel free to come visit me.

[dereban]

I'll keep that in mind.
