Well, that explains a lot, like why she is so willingly doing something so pointless.
oHooo. Well, that explains things
OF COURSE! The real Mrs Sykes would want to go home eventually, just like all the other humans. It's been Gluttony all along; the only being in the building with a comprehensible motivation for keeping things the way they are.
ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOCAKE!
CAKE IS MASTER
The cake is a lie!
This cake is a portal to another place. It tells lies.
Well that just got complicated.
Not necessarily. They were going to fight Gluttony anyway, and this way there's no moral ambiguity about potentially having to beat up a little old lady. ^^
And it explains all the food puns.
Hmmm. So i was right (that it was Gluttony itself tempting them) even if i was wrong about Mrs Sykes having been Gluttony all along.
The question now is: When did Gluttony replace Sykes?
How do we know that it's Gluttony? Maybe it's the hotel owner...
Right after she sneaked a bite of the magically hypnotic food on that first night, I'd guess.
And the plot thickens! (just like a good roux!)
Rosie, you're needed!
So if the henchpersons have been replaced, what exactly are Sam and Ethan fighting?
I think Sam is fighting something as supernatural as Gluttony.
Ethan's fighting the red cabbage.
And it's putting up quite the fight, too!
My money is on Sam and the red cabbage.
Some sort of ogre, obviously.
..or possibly a PE teacher. Of course ogres often have very successful careers as PE teachers, so he may well be both.
That explains why I thought she was Gluttony. I was trying to figure out how that could be possible when Mrs Sykes was a real person before this started.
I guess Gluttony didn't bother taking a form of its own.
Why would it? This way, it can benefit from the staff's default tendency to obey Mrs. Sykes' orders.
Well.... if you gals aren't going to eat any of that strawberry shortcake, then can I have some?
I don't think we should be making fun of Nora. After all, she is the Barber Sister in this tale. And she's the one who is standing closest to that cloud of spooky smoke....
... That's the residue from the flower bomb, I think. ^^;
Oh, it doesn't need henchmen anymore!
I was really looking forward to that cheerful old lady magical showdown
We HAD seen Gluttony in the same room as Skyes previously, but that was with Gluttony appearing right behind her, so it is possible that Sykes was a horrible human-shaped puppet appendage on the front of the main blob...
I have another theory... **SPOILER! IF I am right...** .......................................... didn't sloth escape a while ago? When one eats too much you get sleepy, right? And Mrs. Sykes did mention something about "They're not supposed to sleep yet."
Aaaaaaaand bam.
da da DAAAAA!
