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?

But if you don't know when your birthday is, that means you can eat cake WHENEVER YOU WANT! [Not that she would. Cake's gross.]

[dereban]

I...

[ Her voice catches a little, and then, ]

Can I trust you?

[dhaosu]

[ It's everyone's favorite time. No pun intended. ]

No one? That is quite a stretch, isn't it?

[friendboned]

[WHAT'S THIS....? TIME IS GOING BE INSANELY SLOWLY??? EVERYTHING IS TAKING FOREVER? PAPYRUS IS.....]

[...PERFECTLY FINE WITH THIS!!!]

WOWIE! NOW ALL THE HUMANS AND UNDYNE GET TO SPEND WAY MORE TIME WITH ME!!!

[But wait, wasn't this a plan to get to murder people???]

IS YOUR PLAN FOR THE HUMANS TO DIE OF FUN??

[billarious]

Come on now. Wouldn't something like "everyone is allergic to kittens" be a better one?

[Jeez everyone is just automatically assuming he means the worst with that statement!

He does, so good for them, but it could be a positive thing too.]

If they continue on like this though I don't think we'll have much to worry about.

[symbologic]

I assure you, I am well aware of what it actually is and how to combat it. I suggest you worry more about your own focus, rather than mine.

( Urashima can't help but notice that a lot of people seem to be pretty unimpressed with this incentive! He isn't so certain? He wants to believe the best and he does but this is serious! )

Waiting a long time is still a scary thing, especially if you aren't used to it...

[detanimetion]

Hell yeah I'm enthusiastic! If I can fit in a week's worth of training in an hour, I'm gonna be so strong after this. [SHE WILL SUPLEX EVERYONE OUT OF HERE]

[detanimetion]

If anyone does, I'll knock some sense into them! [Not that she's expecting everything to be kittens and rainbows. You can't trust humans to not do their human murdery things, after all.]

[minogame]

No one! ( He's certain of this? ) Waiting for a long time is scary but no one has to do it alone here! Even a hundred years can feel like nothing when you're with friends!

( Trust him? He knows?! )

Tuesday, pool
[ Time distortion is something Hanyuu is, unfortunately, used to. So while she looks a little stressed out and weary, she's not too upset. She spends most of her Tuesday in the pool room, absently floating around.

The June weather was nice, but not quite warm enough to go swimming in. And also, well, they were too busy trying not to die to go on swimming trips, she guesses. ]

Thursday, outside the hotel
[ Or at least until Thursday rolls around. She looks significantly more distressed, standing outside in her puffy winter coat and building a rather sad-looking snowman. There's not quite enough snow to make a normal-sized one, and she has no implements for the facial features, so she pokes in a smile and eyes with her fingers. ]

...he does not look very holly jolly.

[minogame]

Yeah! ( Urashima agrees! But he's honestly probably thinking of... less violent ways to knock sense into someone. ) ... Wait!?

( BECAUSE HE PROBABLY IS THINKING OF LESS VIOLENT WAYS?? )

Not too hard? You don't want to get in trouble either!

[dhaosu]

[ It'd be stupid, but at the same time, he wouldn't be surprised. ]

...How long do you believe it will take for them to give up, hypothetically?

[dereban]

No, I noticed. [ That's why she's worried?? ]

But I don't know. Can I trust you? Or will you stab me in the back? Just because you're immune doesn't mean you can't do that. In fact, isn't that a good chance to?

[hopefragment]

Oh, uh... thanks, Kotetsu. I wish I knew what I did to earn it, though... I can't help but feel like there's got to be some kind of catch.

[detanimetion]

YEAH!! We're gonna murder everyone with FUN!!

[wait no?] I mean not literally! We're gonna ALMOST murder everyone with fun! [there fixed it]

[symbologic]

If a murder occurs, I will do everything in my power to make sure we discover their identity. As much as I dislike the concept of killing as punishment, I refuse to see two innocents die for one individual's selfish inability to resist temptation.

[Especially on this motive because??? Come on??? It's not even actual time distortion, it just feels like it.]

[hopefragment]

Well, once we all figure out how to get out of here... I'm sure he'll be happy to see you again.

[It was a nice hug though!! Honestly, he can't even remember the last time he got a hug like this, so he's a little disappointed when she pulls away.

Definitely a big sister type...]

H-hang on, you don't have to do that! Wouldn't it be fine if we just hung out?

[minogame]

Maybe you can keep doing the same thing you've been doing. ( One nod in the affirmative, )You did something right, right?!

( As for there being a catch... )

Don't worry!

[detanimetion]

Don't worry! I know exactly how hard to hit someone over the head without killing them!

[Actually wait, she should double check.] Humans can survive being dunked headfirst into garbage from a rooftop, right? [right???]

[hopefragment]

Yeah, but I mean... that "thing" is just talking to people. There was no deductive reasoning or anything.

[How are you so cheerful dude.]

You say not to worry, but...

[He worry]

[symbologic]

And if time were actually moving as our minds would lead us to believe, it actually would make for a very compelling motive. [Hell, he himself would be really tempted? His people are working on a time limit to find a new home planet, after all. They've only got 60 years.]

However... [He gestures to the clock.] This is little more than mind games.

[disapproved]

Smoke and mirrors, then. Hm. Interesting.

[ time magic was only something she had read about, a theory, that could possibly be done; never in her lifetime had she known of someone actually capable of conjuring a spell that could do such a thing, and to do so would require many skilled mages. ]

Well, you have quite the misfortune to find yourself in such a situation twice.

[minogame]

( WHAT THE HELL )

Goo-- no! ( Maybe? ) No?!

Human heads are very sensitive!

( He's holding his own head LIKE HE CAN EMPATHIZE HERE? )

[dhaosu]

[ Urashima, you hope for too much... ]

Certainly, it would be foolish to listen to something like this and follow their enticement. However, the thought wouldn't be completely absent from their minds.

That said, do you believe everyone has a 'friend' here?
