The Gatewater Hotel looked the same from the outside. Bright lights, orange clad employees taking food in and out, yet something was different. Inside, the hotel had been transformed. Spider webs hung from the roofs, while sheet-white ghosts waited for the living to join them. Shelly deKiller smiled as each guest passed, directing them into the main dining room, where the fun would soon begin. Upon entering the dining room, the unsuspecting guests were seated by a pair of twins, both dressed to look like china dolls in their Gothic Lolita dresses. Food awaited each person on each table, the places were already set. The twins would smile politely each time they were talked to, but were never to speak, which added to their doll-like illusion. As the guests became fewer and fewer, deKiller took the stage to set the Gatewater Hotel Halloween Party in motion. He gave a slight nod to Mr. Phoenix Wright as he passed by, knowing the attorney wouldn't recognize him even without the costume.
"Welcome to this year's Halloween party, I hope the twins have seated you all in your proper seats, for they will have a special meaning by the end of the night." He smiled a sly grin before motioning for the manager to come say his speech.
As the night progressed, Gumshoe began to feel that something wasn't right. He would smile politely back at "the twins" whenever they served him his food. By the end of the night, he had managed to shake the feeling, and by the time he was walking out the door, he felt fine.
"Sir?" He smiled to the twins as they nodded back. "May we see your arm for a moment?" He nodded, rolling up his sleeves to expose his arm. The one twin held out a small crystal bottle filled with a red liquid, while the other pulled out a pen. They wrote a single word on his arm as he heard some one scream.
"Safe."
