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?

Mmmhmm. [Man what's the point of a personal protective force field if it doesn't keep any of the strangers away?

Siarka seems to sense Poland's discomfort and crawls into her lap, eyeing Urashima cautiously.]

Soap bubbles... they like. Freeze and stuff when it's cold.

[minogame]

I didn't know you could do that...

( He wants to touch one... but he'll restrain himself! )

Uhm... hey! ( Takes one step closer, ) Is that a dragon?

[sobowtor]

If it's cold enough... [Which it definitely is here! Oh yeah. Look at these rosy, pink cheeks.] It's a better use of soapy water than cleaning some jerk's house I think.

...It's Siarka. [Poland holds her a little closer in her lap. She is very clearly a dragon.]

[minogame]

Heh heh, cute!

( Very cute, for a dragon. And he'll give the dragon a big grin before looking back up at Poland with curious eyes, )

... Are you a princess?

( He can't tell becaus e she mentioned cleaning someone's house just now but... )

1/2

[Siarka is cute! And she preens at the compliment.

Poland meanwhile seems slightly taken aback by the question-- she's a nation!

Of course. She is... very princess-y. In her esteemed opinion. If she weren't a nation she could definitely very well be a princess!

Lithuania goes around acting like she's a knight-- well. She was at one point actually. But!]

2/2

[sobowtor]

[Poland straightens up at the thought of it, actually smiling for once.]

Yes.

[And Snow White and Cinderella totally did chores-- shut up!]

[minogame]

Really?!

( HE'S ECSTATIC AND CLEARLY BELIEVES THIS 100% )

Is he a dragon king? Are you his daughter? Do you have a big palace? Do you live on land or under the sea?!

[sobowtor]

I don't have any parents. [Most nations don't.] I mean, not that I can remember anyways. [But some do!]

I used to live in a couple palaces, but now I just keep the one. [Her home is her palace! Not an actual palace per se, but Her house is cute. Besides it's hard to paint flowers on stone.]

I live on land. [Poland to be specific.] But there's a mermaid in Warsaw.

[minogame]

You don't?

( That's a little sad but then again, he doesn't have any parents either??? Unless you consider the smith that forged him? Or the family that treasured him until his spirit could grow? )

You're really old too, right? ( Wait. ) But you look so young and pretty! Ah... you're almost like the princess in the story, though! Almost!
