Walking inside, the interior of the hotel was already quite impressive. It was neat, tidy, and looked clean. Not one speck was covered with dirt. "Damn.." You mumbled, before hearing hurried footsteps.

A woman, dressed in a fancy dress and wearing a feather headpiece entered from a door behind a desk. 

"Ah, welcome, welcome! Welcome to Hotel California!" She exclaimed in a shrill tone.

"Uh..thanks, but we're not really in California anymore." You stated. The woman would laugh a bit obnoxiously.

"Oh, it was my beloved's idea! Are you competing in the Steel Ball Run?"

"Yea. I'm Y/N L/N. Why do you have a hotel in the middle of nowhere?"

"Oh, we opened it up for travelers such as yourself! We've gotten quite a few! Whether its spectators or people like you~! Would you like a room?"

"Eh..sure." immediately a key was placed in your hand, as the woman smiled. 

"You're on the first floor, sweetheart!" The woman said.

You nodded. 

"Call room service if you need anything!"

"K."

You walked away, holding the key in your hand.

'Welcome to the Hotel California.'

You stopped, looking around. "The hell?"

Where there ghosts in here? No one was in the hall but you.

"..Ghost? Are ya there?"

Silence.

You walked away, going to your hotel room as you unlocked it. As you opened up the door, the door sounded like it made a sighing noise.

You decided to ignore it. 

Until, of course, the lamp in the room turned on. On its own.  

You went and turned in off.

On.

Off.

You paused, before stepping away from the lamp.

"...If you want a piece of this ass, turn the light on."

The light didn't turn on. That was a blow to your ego.

You then did some random dance moves. "C'mon, this is America's ass!"

Still, nothing.

You sighed. "Okay, then..there's a good friend of mine, Johnny Joestar. He has a pretty nice ass. If I bring him here, turn the light on if you want a piece of his massive dumptruck."

The light turned on.

"Okay, fuck you."

•••

"Good night, ghost. I'm sure we won't ever meet again." You said as you flopped down on the bed.

The light turned off.

You took off your hat, gazing at it for a moment. "Night, old man."

You closed your eyes, and were about to drift off into sleep, when you suddenly heard a weak, rasping voice.

"P..please..help..me.."

You sat up, turning the light on. "Hello?!" 

Whoever it was, it sounded as though they were in pain. You turned, before staring at the lamp. You then jumped back, shocked. "W-WHAT THE HELL?!"
