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

[muties]

Cool but I meant 'cause of [ Pokes iron. ]

Is this your house or did you just wake up here, too?

[brawlhalla]

Not mine. [ She doesn't lower the iron, but she's relaxing little by little. As much as she ever does, at least. ] The way it's built is...weird. And those boxes, in our rooms. The ones that light up. I don't even know what those are.

[muties]

[ Opens mouth, closes mouth. Ok. ]

Do you mean the televisions? [ Says the whole word, as if that's more useful than the word "tv". ] And that's an iron, it uh. Flattens clothes.

Not used to this kinda technology, huh? [ YOU DO LOOK LIKE FROM A HISTORICAL PIECE OR SOMETHING ]

[brawlhalla]

...The whats? What's a television?

[ NO, SHE IS NOT USED TO THIS ]

[muties]

[ it's tragic that roxy is a good person who wouldn't bullshit astrid by saying "magic" ]

It's a box that shows pictures, using electricity. It can show, like... stories. With movin' people. Thoooough these TVs aren't getting a signal so they just show white noise, which is what happens when there's no... TV signal makers around.

[brawlhalla]

...Electricity?

[ let's

back it up here ]

[muties]

[ welp ]

It's like lightning, but it's generated by people. Then harnessed to do shit for us. Like power TVs and other crap.

[brawlhalla]

How the Hel do you generate it?!

[muties]

I think water wheels are involved? That and dams. Oh, and nuclear energy, too.

[brawlhalla]

...Nuclear energy?

[ oh my gods what is this chick talking about ]
