And the ceilings, apparently, have mouths. Scariest damn thing I've seen this week.
Looks like the place agrees!
Aw hell no.
Looking intriguing so far!
There's something a bit off about the transition between last week's page and this one - I'm missing some kind of lead-in to what she's saying - some kind of "yup, this here's..."
Actually, what she's saying ties in with what she said to the rude guy a couple of pages (four pages?) ago: "Come watch me bake the best damn cake this place has ever seen."
Okay, I guess it might read differently when not taken a page at a time...
Weeelll, I had to go back through the pages to find that, to be honest. I mean, I understood why she said what she said, but the reference wasn't fresh in my mind, either. Perhaps an introductory bit such as "As I told you earlier..." or something like that might clear things up.
Or maybe just a 'like I said'.. I had to look at it a bit too before I got what she was saying, but I also missed the first text bubble in the first panel at first. Honestly not sure how I did since it's right there.
Ah, there's the judge. Someone's about to win a contest!
"I'll be the judge of that..."
Ok, so the place's haunted.
We have a rolling pin happy poltergeist, despite the fact the guy was one of those annoying jerks that kind of deserved it.
Now the building infrastructure decides it's having an overly high calorie dinner.
Any of these cakes going to make it out of the kitchen or is someone ready for the full pound cake in the face Evil Clown act on the next one?
I think there's more to it than that. This is Widdershins, after all. It's probably one of the Deadlies cut loose by the other groups in our story arcs... >:-D
Okay... so Hotel extremely well named.
Ooops, it's the dungeon boss. Break out the bombs and start throwing!

Maybe Cherry bombs.
Just funny how the bomb looks like a cherry.
I want that cake so badly xD
I was wondering when things would get weird :)
As a judge, I would deduct a point for using cherries with the stems still attacked. When I eat cake I don't want to spend time picking off uneatable bits.
Maybe it's ok within the rules of the competition? The other guy had strawberries with leaves still attached...
Could be part of the decoration aspect of things. Depends on the cake, in my books.
Whatever the case, I really like the panel where she's placing the last cherry. ^_^
I submit to you a headcanon where they're super realistic candy replicas of cherries.
And another if they still have stones inside.
pâtissière should be able to remove the stone from a cherry without obviously marring its appearance.
Absolutely. The best pâtissier I know does that. She's a japanese woman who specialises in miniature one-serve cakes, and they are exquisite artworks all of them.
Don't worry about the cake, the hotel only eats people... wait, oh yeah..RUN!
Sup Gluttony. How you doin'?
And soon to be the best damn cake that place has ever tasted?
Ah - nothing ominous about that at all.
No sirree.
RUN!
CAKE EATING CEILING MONSTER!!!!!!!
_INCOMING!!!_
If she'd said "the best darned cake" would the monster have taken the form of a gigantic needle and thread?
Alexa doesn't seem to realise what a disaster that was for her. Her cake was just about to demonstrate her complete superiority over her rival and his tasteless cakes by winning the competition. Now, she'll still win, but Mr Dork will always be able to say that she only won because he slipped on a rolling pin. Bet he did it on purpose.
there's that impudent ceiling again.
So the ceiling has a mouth. The walls have ears...and the floor has cake. XD
