Summer 2020
"5—4—3—2—1—Here we go!"
The ghosts, joined by Thad, Brad, Chad, Gooigi, Mario and Peach, cheered as Gadd and Luigi cut the ceremonial red ribbon and signaled the opening of the brand-new hotel. Confetti shot into the air and drifted down like multicolored snow, some of the ghosts beginning to play in it like children. They were ecstatic about their new home, and it showed in the way they hoisted Luigi and Gadd off the ground and gave them a few celebratory tosses into the air.
Once the excitement died down, everyone filed into the building, where they enjoyed a buffet of hot and cold foods, beverages and desserts. Steward was hard at work briefing a team of bellhop ghosts, while Chambrea led a team of maid ghosts. Swiftly and efficiently, the former group got everyone checked into their hotel rooms, while the latter team ensured that each guests' accommodations were to their liking.
The new hotel wasn't shy on recreational activities. On the third floor was a spa and fitness center, where the guests could sweat out the toxins and decompress. The third floor was also home to an indoor pool, and there was an outdoor pool on the ground floor, as well. Johnny Deepend taught Zumba, step aerobics and cycling classes in the Fitness Center, and every evening, he'd host swimming and Aqua classes in the indoor pool.
In addition, there were several interactive experiences which also doubled as dinner shows. One such dinner show was medieval-themed, hosted by King MacFrights, and concluded with a friendly "duel" between him and a random audience member. Of course, safety gear was provided before the duel, and all participants had to sign a waiver prior to entering the show. Another show dealt with Ancient Egypt, and it was hosted by Serpci, who was happy to give curious guests some interesting facts about her reign. A third dinner show was hosted by Nikki, Lindsey and Ginny, which was magic-themed. The ghostly triplets delighted and entertained with unbelievable magic tricks, feats of illusion, and even hypnosis, leaving the entire audience breathless by the show's end. And Clem hosted a fourth dinner show, which dealt with a mechanic's average day.
Speaking of food, there were two major restaurants in the new hotel. One was a French restaurant, with Soulffle as the top chef, who was known for personally seeing about his patrons. The other was a seafood restaurant, which was informal and family-oriented, and had Captain Fishhook as a mischievous but harmless mascot. While the former restaurant was located in the hotel lobby, the latter restaurant was on the mezzanine, right next to the hotel shops, where Kruller maintained law and order as he patrolled the area on a scooter.
Further up the hotel, on the tenth floor, was a music hall, where Wolfgeist headlined nightly performances, sometimes on his piano and other times conducting a ghostly orchestra. On the eleventh floor were the botanical gardens, lovingly tended to by Dr. Potter. Guests were encouraged to say hello to and take photos with the now-cute and benevolent Audrey, who looked less like a man-eating plant and more like a decorated Piranha Plant. One floor above the botanical gardens was a museum, with Ug serving as a docent, once again teaching young kids about natural history. And one floor above that was a movie studio, where Morty enthusiastically gave tours in between dreaming up new film projects. If guests were especially lucky, they could find Luigi there, too.
On the penultimate floor was a dance club that came to life every night, with DJ Phantasmagloria spinning dance tunes from the 80s, 90s, 2000s and the present day. And the top floor was home to a quiet rooftop lounge, where people could guzzle on snacks and gaze at the scenery.
