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? This is Week 1's mingle log, covering Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. Investigations will go up on Friday. When posting toplevels, specify the time and location.

[Poland doesn't have any tact though]

Hardly. I don't need a barrier from them. I'm perfectly capable of protecting myself.

[sisumama]

Well, it's a certain kind of magic... Maybe calling it an illusion would be better, but I woke up one day and lived the same perfect day over and over...but eventually, I could tell something was wrong. There are powerful magics out there that can do horrible things like that.

[She isn't aware of how much Morrigan would know about that, but she remembers her time in the Perpetual Day very clearly.]

[billarious]

Sadly they probably wouldn't take 'em. Unless there's some kind of spy here, I doubt they'd seriously listen to any ideas we have.

[And what a shame that is, honestly. It'd certainly spice things up a little.]

[muties]

Could you not, tho?

[ do not make this worse for the love of ]

[sisumama]

If only he'd just say it once...I'd be so happy.

[But height doesn't matter when motherly love is involved. Her hug is fierce, at least super high school level hugs right there, but she'll let go after a moment.]

Oh, I'd just love a little company every now and then, maybe! I'll even cook for you and do your laundry if you'd like!

[minogame]

Heh heh~ Congratulations, Hinata-kun!

( This is good news! )

[vicedirector]

I didn't say adoration.

[ sighs ]

If you don't want it, whatever, not my problem.

[dhaosu]

If you're so desperate, I could always toss a spoon your way.

[ Girl, you are way too excited about this. ]

[billarious]

It's not like it matters if I do or don't. They wouldn't take suggestions from the players I bet. [They should put in a suggestions box though, honestly.]

It's just a little disappointing that they can't even find motives that actually motivate all their players.

[smileleftbehind]

Well, now I know who to avoid this week.

[vicedirector]

If I could tell you that, this would be a lot less of a hassle.

[muties]

Fuck, I hope not. [ Who even knows what some of the people here would come up with. ]

... You do remember we don't want anyone to get killed, right?

[vicedirector]

I have a few guesses, but it's not something I can really share.

[dereban]

You'd do that?

[herbgrace]

Of course. If I can help you feel like you have a better chance, I'd be happy to do what I can.

[billarious]

Of course I do! And I plan on helping however I can, don't you worry Jamjams. If time's going to get all weird, just come talk to Mr. Cipher and he'll help you pass it!

[So what if it might be in the most irritating ways possible?]

But I can't deny that I'm the kinda guy that likes a challenge, and this just isn't even challenging in the least.

[disapproved]

I believe your reply tells me all that I need to know. Thank you.

[ said snidely. morrigan can only assume, then, that their being here had something to do with magic. a ritual, of sorts? or a cult? why was it always a cult? ]

[minogame]

( Wow, they sure are waiting a long time for something to happen, aren't they? Urashima will begin to fidget and look around anxiously to see what the others are doing while they wait and then-- ah, there it is.

It doesn't sound so bad at first. A little vague? A little ominous? And then the voice had to go and mention blood being spilled and that's not cool. )

H-hey...! ( Everyone's hung up on the time part but Urashima's like ) They aren't serious, right?

( Looking around at everyone! )

No one's really thinking about...!

( Really?! )

[symbologic]

Mmm. [He nods.] Though given that we all seem to share the same sentiment, I feel it may be a little late for that.

[They've all probably already jinxed it ten times over already. wtg team.]

In any case, it should be easy enough to outlast our captors on this one, wouldn't you agree? Surely they'll grow bored of our inaction before we become bored enough to start killing one anther.

[fluorospar]

[Wow, you sure sound like an old man!]

I am afraid rudeness is not their current main concern.

[She just sighs, crossing her arms and shaking her head.]

[symbologic]

[If anybody actually kills over such a stupid motive, Faize is going to make it his mission to solve the case. Because really now.]

Agreed. If we show them that our wills are stronger than their own, surely they'll move on to their next tactic.

[fluorospar]

[A soft sigh.]

It would indeed be a rather pathetic reason to kill, but I have seen people kill for worse. We should still remain on our guard, as best we are able.

It would be best if everyone were to resist, but...

[fluorospar]

Please don't.

[But it's said with a little bit of humor, at least.]

If we could remain with rather poor motives like these, perhaps the worst could be avoided. [Maybe.]

[fluorospar]

[Oh my god why are you sparkling, calm down.]

Well. I suppose your enthusiasm cannot be faulted.

[minogame]

What? No way!

( No?? Clover?? )
