seven vices arrival ♫ saturday & sunday 36 players remaining You remember happening upon something awful and nauseating. What it was, precisely, is lost to you, but you have the instinctive feeling that by escaping from it, you've avoided something terrible. When you open your eyes, you find yourself laying in bed in a dark, dusty room, facing a digital alarm clock. Its face, reading 12:01, is one of the only sources of light in the room. The other comes from the window, shadows flickering about. Opening the blinds will reveal that it is nighttime, and what looks to be a massive bonfire has been lit in the street at the front of the building. A wooden talisman hangs around your neck, with one of seven symbols carved on the back. Attempting to take off the talisman will result in a wave of intense dread, and the all-too-familiar nausea. A brass key engraved with a unique room number lays on the bedside table beside the clock, as well. But you won't get any answers just sitting in your room all night. >Investigate? This is an open mingle for arrival in the town. Waking up just after midnight on Saturday, characters will have the weekend to explore and socialize before the plot begins. The profiles and IC rulebooks (both the personal ones and the public one at the chapel) have not been revealed/given out yet. The kitchen will still 'prepare' breakfast on these days, and the bonfire will burn continuously into the daytime. Per items: smaller items that a character could easily carry with them will be in their rooms. Animals and larger objects will either be waiting outside or in the hotel lobby. cast setting

[ Nothing like minding your own business, investigatin' the weird surroundings and then nearly getting knocked on your ass by some... short almost shirtless dude? Hello. ]

Whoa, careful there! What's the rush?

[minogame]

( The shirtlessness runs in the family, okay. )

It's cold outside! Really cold...!

( And he's not dressed for it at all! )

[muties]

[ An amazing trait. Roxy approves 100%. ]

Can't be that cold.

[ Steps outside. IMMEDIATELY STEPS BACK INSIDE. ]

Ok. It's really cold, what the frick.

[minogame]

I told you!

( Gee, why doesn't anyone listen to him... )

Are we up north...?

[muties]

No idea. Where would we even be north of?

[ Are they on Earth?? What planet is this even, doesn't even know. Land of Sad and Cold Villages? ]

[minogame]

In Japan? Maybe Hokkaido? ( Urashima... thinking small compared to miss planet hopper, apparently??? ) But it looks like somewhere in the west instead....

[muties]

Yeah, I wouldn't have thought Japan. This place doesn't look like Dirk's anime stuff, or any of the JRPGs I've played.

[ Needs more cherry blossoms and katanas. ]

I guess it really depends if we're on a planet at all, and not in some dream bubble or whatever.

[minogame]

( Urashima is a katanta. He's here. He's anime. )

What do you mean we can't be on a planet? Like not in the same world as home?

[muties]

Well, that or we could be in the Furthest Ring or some shit. We could all be dead. That would suck.

[ Said casually. ]

[minogame]

( Hold the phone )







We could be dead?!

[muties]

Well, it's a possibility. Buuut just a teeny one? Really, I wouldn't worry about it.

[ She didn't mean to freak you out there, shirtless boy. ]
