SUNDAY

[vicedirector]

[ No deaths will occur on Sunday, so feel free to treat this as a mingle point. ]

[dereban]

[ Guess who didn't sleep last night? This girl. After yesterday's escapade into the hell is "what the fuck is Miata doing why did she throw her own talisman into the fire" she is going to be in the kitchen in the morning with her laptop open, poking at her food with her knife but not actively eating it.

She doesn't say anything, as she's staring at her food blankly, but then again, she isn't in the mood.

Later in the morning, however, she can be found investigating the newly found residential district; she's being awfully careful, it seems, as she hasn't even bothered to bring her laptop on this excursion. Plus, she's wearing sneakers instead of heels or flats. She's not like Clover, after all, she doesn't have balance... She's definitely going to be checking some cars and apartments (that are accessible) to see what she may or may not find, though. ]

[dhaosu]

Back of hotel, morning

[ If anything, because nothing did occur on Sunday regarding deaths or anything else for that matter, Dhaos decided to make a quick amendment to the small graveyard while it was still morning. He's added a spot for Urashima now, and after a long pause, Bill... but only for the sake of completion.

He doesn't intend to linger long here, because ... well, he doesn't have any words, but he takes a respectful moment of silence for a bit. ]

Residential District, afternoon

[ Later on he will be planning on exploring the residential area, although he's searching for something in particular, and that would be the address of Miata's neighbors. Anyone can feel free to spot him searching through the place himself. Or meet up with him later mid-search. ]

[hopefragment]

Lobby, 1PM-4PM

[Hinata can be found in the lobby, sitting on the floor, with a whole ream of construction paper and several of the legal-size notepads from the schoolhouse in front of him. It... wouldn't have been his first choice of paper, but he'll work with what he can. He also brought some of the colored pencils, too, and if anyone happens to walk by, he'll raise a hand and call out, trying to catch their attention.]

Hey, um... if you have time, do you want to learn to make a crane...?

[He has several already that he's clearly been working on, and while sometimes there's a jagged edge or two from having to rip the paper down to a square, he's not doing too badly at it.]

Urashima... wanted me to try to finish them for him.

[herbgrace]

morning; back of hotel
[Lithuania isn't surprised to see that someone has already made a grave for Urashima--it was why she instead busied herself in the kitchen. Now she's ready with a plate of cookies, and she's just going to address Urashima's grave in the hopes he's around listening.] They're called turtle cookies--it's from America's house, I believe. I, ah, have this as well.

[She puts the plate of cookies down next to Urashima's grave, and then pulls out a little origami turtle. It's far from perfect, but it's an improvement from the one she had hidden away in her nightstand. Urashima's sword--or his actual body, really--she has with her, and though she touches the hilt lightly she keeps it with her.]

I'll keep you safe as best as I can, I promise. If you're similar to me me, then--you should be fine eventually, right? As long as this is safe. [There's a tremor in her voice, but she swallows it down and very gently pats the makeshift grave as if she were patting Urashima on the head.]

[symbologic]

behind the hotel; 10am
[Perhaps unsurprisingly, Faize opts to sleep the fuck in come Sunday morning. The first place he can be found once he finally leaves his room is the makeshift graveyard behind the hotel, head still bandaged up, with a cluster of paper stars in one hand and a familiar, fluffy-tailed turtle in the other.]

[One of the yellow stars goes on Bill's marker. He lingers silently for a few moments, expression unreadable before he eventually moves on. Rather than place a single star on top of Urashima's marker, he turns his hand, allowing the small handful left in his palm shower down onto the ground in front of it. Well...the ground and all the things that everyone else has already left there. He's not surprised to see that Urashima's already had visitors, really. After a few minutes of silent staring, he speaks in a soft voice, quiet enough that you'd have to be next to him to hear:]

You have my apologies. Nobody deserves that sort of end, but someone like Urashima does least of all. Though, I suppose you would be the first to say that, if you were capable. [...he's not talking to Urashima at all, is he?] I know that it wasn't...truly my fault. If one were to divide the blame up, I am not even certain what percentage could be ascribed for me. Or if such a division even matters, ultimately. But...if nothing else, somebody should apologize to you, for the fact that this came to pass at all.

[With a sigh, he lifts the turtle up to place her on his shoulder.] I know that I should be thanking you, all things considered. However...as much as I hate to sound ungrateful, I find it difficult to feel lucky about or thankful for this outcome. [He turns his head to glance in the direction of the chapel, eyes flashing for little more than a second before he returns his gaze to the graveyard.] Though...I am not certain what it is I feel instead.

[Tired. Really. Fucking. Tired.]

kitchen; 11am
[Anybody who happens to come into the kitchen will find Faize staring into the fridge with a vaguely curious expression, and Kamekichi sitting on the nearby countertop. Turtles.......probably eat fruits and vegetables, right? But what kinds? This is the issue here, and the turtle herself is not really doing much to help him figure out exactly what her preferences are. She's sleeping. Again.]

lobby; noon-onward
[For the rest of the day, Faize stays in the hotel, being a good patient and focusing on recovering instead of exploring whatever new area the void has surely unveiled. There's time for that later this week. He'll be either folding origami with Hinata, reading over one of his notebooks, or paying attention to Kamekichi.]

MONDAY

[vicedirector]

[ On Monday morning, anyone going near the chapel will find someone collapsed in front of the door. Their back is propped up against it, eyes closed and a peaceful expression on their face. They could easily be mistaken for sleeping, were it not for the unnatural angle their neck is bent at.

Hanyuu is dead. ]

[lastgirl]

[And on that morning, anyone nearing the chapel will also see Buddy. She doesn't scream or even show astonishment as she looks down at Hanyuu's body. She's simply frozen in place, her only eye wide and her face twitching.

Someone might want to snap her out of it, or she'll be there for a long while.]

TUESDAY

[vicedirector]

[ On early Tuesday morning, anyone on the third floor will find something on the floor between rooms 306 and 305.

Closer inspection reveals it to be a pile of dust, with a red scarf and red gloves sitting within it.

Papyrus is dead. ]

[thebonezone]

[such a good, happy, day, time to step outside of his door to go check on papy-- why is the floor dusty

why is the

what

WHAT THE FUCK]

[sans.exe has stopped working]

you dirty brother killers.

[megalovania plays in the background]

[also he uh. definitely screamed that.]

turtle, turtle, who's got the turtle... no, seriously, who gets temporary custody of her next, idk.

[symbologic]

[So...Papyrus is dead and that's a thing. A really terrible thing because the pure skeleton definitely did not deserve this. But since Faize doesn't often go up to the third floor, he hasn't realized that yet. He's far more concerned about a certain turtle who apparently decided that it would be a great idea to somehow disappear from Faize's room completely in the time it took him to brush his teeth this morning.]

[So he's running all over the hotel, half frantic as he searches just about anywhere he can think for this renegade turtle. Is she under the lobby chairs? Under the kitchen table? On top of the fridge (he has to stand on a chair to even see that high), maybe? In a decorative plant somewhere, perhaps? In one of the dryers??? WHERE DID SHE GO, DAMMIT.]

[Feel free to interrupt his frantic searching, even if this is probably a whole lot funnier without context. Though if he catches sight of you, he'll likely approach and ask:]

Have you seen Kamekichi anywhere this morning?

[UNLESS YOU'RE BREAK BECAUSE HE KNOWS YOU HAVEN'T SEEN SHIT. I'm sorry he isn't insensitive enough to make that joke.]

WEDNESDAY

[vicedirector]

[ On Wednesday morning, anyone checking out the clinic will happen upon a certain something in the waiting room.

It's a pile of dust, and within it is a blue hoodie and a pair of slippers.

Sans is dead. ]

[dereban]

[ Inaba opens her mouth when she gets here and closes it. She doesn't scream or do anything. All she does is quietly take out her notebook to take note of it, not even saying another word.

If anybody peeks over her shoulder, they might notice that she's written a list of the people who have died this week along with their alignments.

All she wanted was to see the foreign doctor (!?) again...! ]

[jackhole]

[ rhys is definitely coming across that because he HAS TO HAVE THE WORST LUCK EVER.

and he immediately knows what it is. so, he's going to let out an angry/upset scream and then -- ]

Oh... oh no, oh no no no no nooooo. No! Come on, this is bullshit! Bullshit. He didn't deserve this!

[ and rhys is finally going to remember he has a robot arm just because yeah, in his anger, he's going to punch a hole right into the clinic wall. GOOD JOB, MURDERTOWN. HE THOUGHT HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY FUCKS LEFT TO GIVE AND YET HERE WE ARE. HE KEEPS FINDING THEM. ]

[okuri]

[ Yoite's here at at some point, to refill his pain medication. He doesn't know what the pile of dust is at first, but then it dawns on him. The hoodie, the jeans. They had never talked, but Yoite had kept aware of Sans given that he was a sloth.

And now he was the only one left.]

...

[thebonezone]

[SO IF ANYONE WANTS TO GO TO SANS'S ROOM... OR idk gets lead there by the annoying dog because who would willingly go there after hinata&faize's wacky adventures!!

they'll find a heck of a lot of shit, including notes literally addressed to everybody!

have fun with that.]

[dhaosu]

[ After everyone else has a party in here, Dhaos is essentially late to it. He probably hears word of it somehow, or he is on one of his walks throughout the town, and eventually comes to the pile of dust that was once Sans. ]

...

[ Then, assume at some point, he will head up to Sans' room, or something to that effect. ]

[herbgrace]

[Things are getting really dangerous here and one of Lithuania's adoptees knows self-defense but is completely without a weapon.

So anyway here's Lithuania walking around with a baseball bat.]

Himeko? [Himeko, where have you gotten to?]

[muties]

[ In the lobby, a sign is posted. ]

STOP GETTING KILLED
NO MORE DYING
STOP IT
STOP DOING THE THING
LETS MAKE IT NO LONGER A THING

[ a foolproof plan ]

THURSDAY

[vicedirector]

[ On Thursday, one will have to venture out to the lake to find the newest body.

Patches of ice on the surface are broken, though not for a good 15 feet out where it gets thinner and flimsier. One will be able to spot a figure floating beneath the ice, motionless. Careful in fishing them out.

Ranulf is dead. ]

[dhaosu]

[ Someone has eventually done the lovely job of removing Ranulf from his frozen prison.

His body has been laid in a more respectful manner, nearby the boathouse. Although not buried, seeing as bodies eventually disappear anyway. ]

[sobowtor]

[After Ranulf is fished out. Poland's shoulders just kind of... hunch. It makes her look about as small as she feels right now.]

FRIDAY

[vicedirector]

[ On Friday morning, anyone near the schoolhouse will find...a scene, to put it kindly. There's a rain of arrows stuck in the back wall, accompanied by a very distraught dragon curled around a figured collapsed on the ground.

There's numerous arrows piercing their body, but they're also very bruised and dirty--it's clear they put up a fight against this mystery archer. And their dragon, too, as its wings are sporting a few (albeit more shallow) arrow wounds, as well.

Astrid Hofferson is dead. ]

[muties]

[ No wonder children hate school, there's always dead bodies there. ]

Hey Stormfly, what'cha up t--

[ ... Is that Astrid's dead body DAMN IT, SHE LIKED ASTRID? Astrid was her bro? A bro who left traps in her room, but a bro! THIS IS UNFAIR, ROXY'S LUCK WITH FRIENDS BEING ALIVE HAS BEEN PRETTY GOOD SO FAR?? Why did that not continue being a thing? Shit, does this mean all her friends are going to die now it does, doesn't it.

But man, Astrid was Too Cool to die, this is so wrong. Who will be the sexy viking now. No one, that's who. ]

Aw, fuck.

SATURDAY

[vicedirector]

[ The chapel is again the site of another death, this one not quite as bloody as a certain dismemberment incident, but still....well, you'll see.

Namely there's a human heart in one of the Communion dishes on the altar's podium.

There's a light trail of blood leading up to the altar. It continues behind the podium, where a figure is slumped on the ground, unmoving. A bloody hole exists where their heart would be, and they're covered in cuts and bruises. A bloody sword even lays next to them. Clearly they, too, put up a good fight against their killer, but did not emerge victorious.

Lithuania is dead. ]

[dereban]

[ Another place that Inaba frequents as of late: the chapel. Which is why when she steps in and sees the obviously fucking dead body, she can't help but drop the bat she has in her hands.

She doesn't scream. She just stares, her eyes dead, mouth agape.

.... This has to be a dream. That's what this is, right? ]

SUNDAY

[vicedirector]

[ On Sunday morning, anyone outside will be greeted by some shrill screaming coming from the direction of the residential district. Just outside one of the apartment complexes is a certain hovering robot currently losing its mind.

For good reason, as there are two bodies in the snow beneath it. Both of them have various wounds, most of them slashes, though the latter has a particularly bad stab wound through the chest. The former has a curious pool of blood around their head, though with no head wounds to account for it.

Xerxes Break and Rhys are dead. ]

[muties]

[ WHY IS THERE SCREAMING oh wow that's. that's why.

Stares for a long moment. Finally, she facepalms with both hands and you can hear the soft murmur of ] ... dumb gay fucks...

[ They died as they lived. How romantically stupid. They weren't even real gay, just fake gay. Probably? She doesn't know. And now she can't even harass them about it. ]

Calm down, little robot, we'll make them alive again. Somehow. Later.
