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

[ Ah yes, nothing like approaching a person to check on them and getting attacked with a baton.

Roxy dodges by flying just out of reach of the baton with a yelp. Dropping back down to the floor, ] Whoa, cool it! Do you think someone's gonna attack you or somethin'?

[jackhole]

[ rhys is just going to freeze there, baton in air and sort of. uh. stammer out -- shit, he almost hit a teen girl? ]

Uh, kind of! That's sort of a thing that happens often in situations like this. Random, creepy hotel. People I don't know. No way to contact my friends? I'm kind of feeling hit-y.

[muties]

Ok, fair enough this is kind of a horror movie set-up. But so far no one seems to secretly be a serial killer?

[ That they know of, anyway. ]

At least check before hittin', next time.

[jackhole]

Please, there are probably like, tons of serial killers around us. Even you, could probably be a serial killer! I'm not gonna take my chances.

[ rhys you are a paranoid idiot with no brain to mouth filter. okay, buddy. ]

Uhm, but. Whatever. You're probably not going to kill me right now if you were, right? You don't even have like... a knife or something, so...

[muties]

Actually most serial killers are men, so.

[ but then: ]

LMAO, you don't need a knife to kill someone. I could like, strangle you. Or bash your head against a wall.

[jackhole]

[ in the most snotty tone: ]

Well, you could break the mold.

[ and then roxy describes how to kill him?? THANKS??? obviously rhys has to reply in a really responsible and mature manner for someone his age. ]

Hah! As if. God, I can't believe you just "LMAO"'d at me. But, I'm bigger than you and I also have a robot hand. Therefore, I'd be way better at strangling! I'd strangle you first!
