week 8
 21 players remaining ♫ monday - thursday Monday morning begins just like the rest, slow and uneasy. At 12pm, every television will go off with its usual bout of static, followed by Katerina's calm, albeit disinterested, voice. "Please gather in the hotel lobby within the next hour." That's all that it says before the televisions turn off. Anyone not in their rooms will hear the voice echoing around them as if through a speaker system, although there are (still) no speakers present. After hearing the motive, characters who choose to explore will find that the void around the town has retracted a bit, and there is now boathouse and lake up North Anyone looking for them will also find that Alisha's spear and Sadie's earmuffs are now gone. >Mingle? This is Week 8's mingle log, covering Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. Investigations will go up on Friday. When posting toplevels, specify the time and location. If you plan on having any private conversations between characters, remember to let us know in the post linked below. More plot elements will be introduced this week. Mod comments will be occasionally distributed to open toplevels, accordingly. setting rulebook profiles private conversations |

All the air seems to leave Roxy's lungs in one go. She sinks to the floor, thumping there with a strangled noise. Not because it's surprising, mind you, because of course it's Rose. Sure, she has other people she loves back home, they could have taken Jane or Dirk or Callie or Jake or-- and she'd still have nearly the same reaction. Nearly.
But. But. She's had Rose die in her arms, she's not sure she could handle watching her die again. ]
Fuck.
[ just. whispered. why u gotta be so rude, murder town. rose lalonde does not deserve this. let her go fight a seawitch with john-- OH FUCK,
WHO'S FLYING THE PLANEWHO'S FIGHTING THE SEAWITCH?? john jane and kanaya??? WITHOUT THE LALONDES? ]Oh, fuck.
[ excuse her while she just lies down in the lobby. ]

[He hears that thump when she hits the floor, concern audible in his voice as he takes a few steps closer and drops to his knees, trying to at least... support her shoulders or something. Please don't lay on the floor, there was blood there not too long ago, probably?? Also teeth. Just put your head on his knees or something, that's more sanitary.
That's all he's got right now, though, not even any good comforting words. Because what do you say to that? Having someone you care about be stuck in this kind of situation because of you?]
...That's her, isn't it?
[Her daughter. Whose the same age as her. But 0k.]
no subject
Yeah. [ Said in a small, dejected voice. ] That's Rose.
I can't-- [ lose her again. ] Do you think anyone would mind if I just. Stabbed them a little.
[ ROXY ]
no subject
[Okay, for all the friendly shoulder-headbutts and hugs he's willing to do in public, he's not that much into physical affection where other people can see. So it's not much, but he does gently reach to brush his fingers through her hair. This... will help, right? (no, not even)]
It'll... it'll be okay. I mean... look at her. [She looks really intimidating??] She looks just as strong as you, there's... there's no way they'd be able to hurt her that easily.
no subject
I know... [ Endless sighing. "Looks just as strong as you" Hinata, she is literally laying on the floor letting you pet her, does this seem like a strong girl to you. ] She's stronger, trust. But, sometimes strength don't mean fuck all. Some assholes are just too over-powered.
[ Vividly remembering Rose being skewered with a trident, ahhhhh what funnnn ]
no subject
...
[He's quiet as she speaks, though, fingers curling gently in her hair as he looks up to the screen, trying not to look at his own blonde hostage and instead focus on Roxy's.]
Do you think she'd want you to... kill someone else instead of trusting her to fight back on her own, though...?
[He really doesn't know much about Rose, but... well, for something like this, he can't be sure about Roxy, either. Maybe he's making a mistake asking that, but... too late, he's already said it.]
no subject
She's silent for a long moment, genuinely thinking about it. Except not really because. Well. Then she lets out a sigh. ]
I guess not. I was joking, anyway. Even if I wanted to kill someone, which I really Do Not, I'd fuck it up and then everythin' would be 600% worse.
[ Ok it was mostly a joke, she really doesn't want to lose Rose again. But lucky for you Hinata, your girlfriend and her daughter probably aren't actual serial killers. ]
It's just. It sucks not being able to do anything.
no subject
Yeah... I agree. It seems like the more we all get to know each other... the better the people running this sick game get at predicting... what might force someone's hand, you know?
[Just going to go back to brushing his fingers gently through her hair again and along her cheek, though he's looking up at the monitor instead of at her.]
But... we'll get through this. I just... need to focus, and find the best way to strike back and end this.
no subject
...She looks like you.
[ Honestly, there's no comfort to be had there, so...you get a random observation. Enjoy. ]
no subject
Roxy does snort, though it's a bit flat. ]
Nah, she's way prettier. Got Dirk's killer cheekbones, I think.
[ do they even HAVE cheekbones.
After taking a moment to find Hiccup on the screen (SHE EXPECTS NO LESS FOR ASTRID'S HOSTAGE) and finding him (gee, maybe it's the teen viking!!), she gives her own random observation, ]
Your boyfriend is hot. Thumbs up, girl.
no subject
[ ASTRID SAYS, SURPRISED THIS IS EVEN A THING? but. ]
We're not dating!
no subject
[ SHE KNOWS SHE CUTE BUT ROSE IS CUTER fight her astrid ]
Well, ok, future boyfriend.
