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?

What? So you think I can't take a hit because I'm a girl?!

[minogame]

No? ( Maybe? ) You're just not supposed to hit a girl! It's not honorable!

[fourleafcleaver]

Why's it less honorable to hit a girl than anyone else, huh?!

[minogame]

Because an honorable warrior doesn't attack women! They just don't!

( Don't question his ways??? Or do. It's been over five hundred years and no one has yet. )

[fourleafcleaver]

[PUSHY AND OBNOXIOUS IS ALL SHE DOES YOU BET YOUR ASS SHE'S QUESTIONING HIS CENTURIES-OLD WAYS]

So why can an "honorable warrior" [instead of air quotes she just waves her hands around, like, air paraphrase-y quotes; they go nicely with the way she comically deepens her voice to imitate him] attack a guy, then?!

[minogame]

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]

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. )

[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?!

[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!

[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 )

[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]

[minogame]

( Normally petting would work? It would be super effective? But no.... she had to add had that last bit, didn't she?! )

A lot of work...? ( A lot of work?! ) What do you mean?!

[fourleafcleaver]

I mean we've gotta get you whipped into shape! This is a bad place to not be able to even, like, start to throw a punch in.

[pause] And we'd better make sure you get the shoe-tying thing down, too.

[This is her version of concern.]

[minogame]

But I can fight! I'm a sword spirit, you know!

( As for the shoe tying thing... he'll have no comment. NO COMMENT AT ALL. )

[fourleafcleaver]

...Yeah, okay. [That—whatever you wanna call it, buddy.] I tried to get you to fight me and you almost started crying, though.
