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?

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

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

[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?! )

[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?

[minogame]

I know it's scary but...

( He doesn't think anyone should feel like like they have to worry? He's quiet for a second and then he nods his head once in the affirmative, )

I'll be their friend if they don't have one.

[dhaosu]

[ And yet... this one said so with a straight face. He has a hard time imagining him getting along with Vegeta, but what does he know? ]

Even with someone volatile and highly dangerous?

[minogame]

Maybe I'll have three friends with me, just in case!

( Strength in numbers! )

[dhaosu]

Hmm... that is a good idea.

[ See, this is why he thinks Urashima is sharp. Besides the... y'know. The one thing. ]

At least with three, it evens the odds, even against someone who would be particularly formidable.

[ Four friends would be a great number to play connect four with. Too bad they don't have games here, except the murdering one. ]

[minogame]

I'm not afraid.

( Of going up against a strong opponent. He can handle himself? )

I'm still going to be careful... I'm not going to put myself in danger on purpose! ... Not without good reason!

[dhaosu]

...

[ Look, he doesn't doubt his combative ability, but. It wasn't like he was worried, he was just, saying. ]

...I would hope you would not. Regardless, I doubt you would do something as foolish as throw yourself into danger just for the sake of befriending someone.

[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!

[dhaosu]

...

[ He takes another pause. ]

...If that is what you can call it.

[ In reality, Dhaos can be awkward enough in his conversations, and so he thinks that is what it is. So he decides that this is likely a good place to end it, annnd he is off. ]
