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

Ehhh, not necessarily. Wouldn't surprise me if it was somehow, like. Sealed like a can of food. Openable from the outside, but the inside is all air tight?

[ Metaphorical tin can village. ]

[herbgrace]

You could still theoretically force the can open from the inside. [That's a weird metaphor, though.]

[muties]

Like, explode it? Doesn't that only happen if the stuff inside is rotten?

[ All her metaphors are weird. ]

[herbgrace]

Or if it gets heated up. [...] I'm not sure what that would mean outside of the metaphor.

[muties]

Probs that we'd get boiled alive, but I guess we shouldn't take the metaphor that far.

Maybe it's more like tupperware, like a plastic container. Lid comes off and on?

[herbgrace]

Then we--push it off. Metaphorically. From the inside. We just need to... Figure out the material of the container we're in? [Lithuania isn't great at this.]

[muties]

Yes. Probs it'd be... well, that void-like stuff? [ Gestures to the darkness. ] Though how it works is kind of a big fat unknown right now.

[herbgrace]

Maybe there's a way out somewhere? If we keep trying to leave via different points in the--void. [She's not sure if that makes sense.]

[muties]

That makes sense. [ And if Roxy thinks so then it probably... doesn't... ] If we walk around enough in there maybe an openin' will appear. Like a cave, but instead of walls it's all blackness. It's worth a try, anyway!

[herbgrace]

We do have the time, at least. [Considering the other options are "walk around the same buildings again" and "make more breakfast, forever".] ...I hope the entrance isn't high up.

[muties]

For realsies... [ There will be 600 breakfasts made before the murder even starts. ] Ugh, that'd be our luck. Tho I can fly a bit, so as long as it's not more than like a minute up.
