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?

That would seem to be the case, yes. It's just something of a surprise. With such a high stakes "game" [Boy howdy does he dislike using that word, and it shows.] I had assumed the bar would be set a little higher than this.

[Like obviously they're gonna save their worst motives for last but what a lukewarm start.]

[stupidly]

That might work out for the best for us, though. A slow start will give us more time to try figuring out alternatives.

[#OPTIMISM... OR SOMETHING. "Let's try not to die before we all die", the official press release statement of Gilbert Nightray.]

[A good press release statement.]

Indeed. [The slower the better.] Though I admit...after a week, I am beginning to run out of ideas. This is quite the well-crafted cage we've found ourselves in, as much as I wish that were not the case.

[stupidly]

[HE SURE TRIES. Or does he...]

Mm... [He doesn't want to admit that it does seem pretty hopelessly solid after a week, but. It sure does.]

...It can't possibly be so impossible to escape that no one will be able to figure it out, though.

[symbologic]

I should hope not...but I'm not sure what we could have overlooked, in a space this small.

[stupidly]

We're probably overlooking something that has nothing to do with this place at all. ...But if we can figure out how to get at the people behind this, that's all we'll need.
