week 1

[vicedirector]

seven vices week 1 ♫ 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 a 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. Curiously, anyone who has spoken with Miata for any period of time during the past week will notice that the voice coming from the television and her own do not match up. Come Tuesday, the footsteps around the void will begin drifting away from it. The pitter-patter of feet can be heard when standing outside the clinic and chapel as well. On top of the food that was added to the kitchen last week, spaghetti noodles and tomato sauce is now available. You're welcome, Papyrus. >Mingle?

I wouldn't attack a guy either! Not without a good reason to!

( WHY DOES HE FEEL LIKE HE'S IN A BATTLE HE CAN'T WIN )

[fourleafcleaver]

But would you attack a girl with a good reason to?

[why is she so determined to make a point about hitting people]

[minogame]

( Shaking his head no, )

No, no! It's hard to befriend someone in the middle of a dangerous situation, you know? Normally there's too much fighting going on to even get a name.

( Duh??? )

Uhm.... you don't have to worry about me, really!

[minogame]

No? Wait... ( Rewind. ) Who's attacking?!

( Takes... one step back and whispers, )

I've never fought a girl before.

[fourleafcleaver]

[pppause. and then:]

So come over here and fight me!

[she's BEAMING this is WAY TOO EXCITING for her]

[minogame]

I don't want to!

( UGH HE'S PULLING HIS HAIR NOW HOW DOES HE WIN A FIGHT AGAINST A GIRL. Five hundred years and this is probably his first real experience with a girl to be honest. )

[Sisuca's kind offer draws in..... a skeleton]

I AM VERY WORRIED...... BUT THIS IS A PROBLEM BEYOND HUMANS!

[friendboned]

[a beat]


WITH TIME GOING SO SLOWLY... MY LAZYBONES BROTHER WILL LEAVE EVEN MORE OF HIS SOCKS LYING AROUND!!!

...technically not there but

[thebonezone]

[when he says that, from out of nowhere, a sock suddenly seems to appear next to papyrus]

[it is lying innocuously on the ground]

[friendboned]

IT'S ALREADY STARTED!!!

[friendboned]

[PAPYRUS WINS.... AGAIN??]

I BET MAKING SPAGHETTI FOR ALL YOUR FRIENDS (INCLUDING ME).... WOULD BE TOO DIFFICULT FOR YOU!!!

[friendboned]

[so it looks like the murder and murder victim are already decided....]

THIS IS THE WORST KIDNAPPING EVER!!

[friendboned]

[oh no it's his new friend]

[and he's taking after Sans?!]

THERE ARE MUCH BETTER WAYS TO SPEND YOUR NEW TIME THAN LAZING ABOUT, HUMAN!! ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE IN THE PRESENCE OF A VERY COOL SKELETON.

WOWIE!! THIS MEANS WE HAVE EXTRA TIME FOR NEW PUZZLES!

[thebonezone]

[with one skeleton often comes another, smaller skeleton. apparently.]

you know what they say about time shenanigans. it's like clockwork.

[no one says that.]

[sobowtor]

Fine, I'll take it.

[Poland holds up her weird necklace as far as it will go from her body without making her want to puke.

Do the thing-y.]

[fourleafcleaver]

[he does not deserve for his first real experience with a girl to be with THIS ONE]

Come ooonnn, I asked! What's the problem?!

[friendboned]

I HAVE NOTICED THE HUMANS BEING VERY DEEP IN THOUGHT.... VERY SERIOUS.... THEY HAVE A LOT OF COMPLEX FEELINGS ABOUT THE SITUATION THEY'VE FOUND THEMSELVES IN....

[a pensive pause...]

[minogame]

( It's like being thrown right into the deep end of the pool and being expected to swim. WHICH IS VERY HARD WHEN YOU ARE MADE OF METAL. )

What if you get hurt? What if I get hurt? Someone could get hurt!

[thebonezone]

[:D]

aw, bro. is it giving you a hard time?

[fourleafcleaver]

I can take it, and I'll go easy on you! ["i can take it" clover you're immune to danger] You worry too much!

[minogame]

( Starts to draw his sword... he gets like an inch out of the scabbard before he gives up, )

I caaaaan't!

( HE'S HAVING A CRISIS HERE CLOVER )

[friendboned]

[false alarm]

I UNDERSTAND THEIR PLIGHT. TRULY, IT MUST BE SO DIFFICULT TO BE KIDNAPPED WITH SUCH A COOL GUY...

BUT THERE IS NO NEED FOR HUMANS TO RESORT TO MURDER! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL TAKE YOU ALL UNDER MY WING! NYEH HEH HEH HEH!

[fourleafcleaver]

[this is...honestly kind of sad.......... mostly the pathetic kind of sad

Clover sighs, shakes her head, and walks over to gently pat Urashima on the shoulder. It's always exciting when someone's short enough for her to reach their shoulder!]

We've got a lot of work to do, huh.

[oh no]

[friendboned]

I'M LEAVING!!!

[literally starts twirling out of the room]

[in slow motion]

[why?? because]

[thebonezone]

[watches him goooooo....]
