week 2

[vicedirector]

seven vices week 2 34 players remaining ♫ 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. After hearing the motive, characters who choose to explore will find that the void around the town has retracted a bit, and there is now a general store on the other side of the hotel. On the chapel wall near the altar, black and white portraits of Takao and Kaguya have been hung up. Anyone paying attention to the town's unchanging layout will also notice that Takao's rickshaw, large and omnipresent as it was, is now nowhere to be seen. >Mingle? This is Week 1's mingle log, covering Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. Investigations will go up on Friday. When posting toplevels, specify the time and location.

And that's why you're waiting until you have me alone! So you've only got one murder to cover up! [LEAPING CONTINUES, she's doing a pretty impressive job of it considering how impractical her heels are actually, even if her efforts continue to be useless.] I'm not stupid!

[keepshispride]

Then why are you wandering around in the middle of the night? [Vegeta, you were doing that too...]

If you want to get attacked, that's your own business. But I'm not sticking around to protect you again.

[He continues to be immune to leaping, despite only being a few inches taller than her. SORRY, CLOVER]

[fourleafcleaver]

I wanted food! I thought everyone else would be asleep and that Rapunzel over there [FLINGING ARM GESTURE TOWARDS DHAOS] wasn't gonna try killing me! But I was armed and so he didn't [JUMP JUMP REACH THE WORLD IS SO UNFAIR] so give that back!

[keepshispride]

At least get a real weapon! [Sneers.] What a pathetic display. Your shoes are more intimidating than this thing!

[fourleafcleaver]

They totally are [her shoes are great okay] but I'm not exactly brimming with options over here!

[keepshispride]

Here's one. [Points at the stairs.] Go to your room and don't leave before morning.

[fourleafcleaver]

That's not what I meant and you know it! [SHE'S STILL DOING THE LEAPING THING she's nothing if not persistent]

[keepshispride]

[Okay, how about this? What if he tosses the bottle aside, grabs Clover by the back of her collar and then lifts her off the ground.]

Too late.

[fourleafcleaver]

[SHE'S NOT A KITTEN]

LET ME GO WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW DON'T KILL ME LET GO OF ME PUT ME DOWN WHAT THE HELL [WORDLESS SHRIEKING FEATURING AS MUCH FLAILING AS POSSIBLE, and you thought she couldn't get any louder]

[keepshispride]

[And now they're having a real screaming match.]

STOP SCREAMING OR I WILL KILL YOU!

[TRYING TO IGNORE THE FLAILING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE and heading towards the staircase. He'll just glare at Dhaos and Yoite if they pass them, daring them to say anything as he carries Clover up the stairs.]

[fourleafcleaver]

DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO IF YOU TRY A GODDAMN THING YOU'RE GOING TO GET SO CAUGHT LET ME GO LET ME GO [BACK TO THE WORDLESS SHRIEKING

this is definitely happening right now]

[keepshispride]

[STOMPING UP THE STAIRS they're going to wake the whole damn hotel at this rate. Good thing the bedrooms are all soundproof.]

THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN DAMN GOOD, BRAT! I SHOULD THROW YOU OFF THE ROOF INTO THAT VOID FOR THIS!

[Reassuring. Fucking hell somewhere Kurisu is getting killed.]

[fourleafcleaver]

DON'T CALL ME A BRAT PUT ME DOWN IF YOU THROW ME ANYWHERE YOU ARE GONNA GET SO MURDERED THEY'LL CATCH YOU SO FAST LET ME GO LET ME GO

[no one needed to be asleep AND alive right???? pick one]

[keepshispride]

[ I bet everyone is really glad that all the loudest people in the building live on the third floor and have to walk past all the other floors to reach their rooms. ]

I ALREADY TOLD YOU I'M NOT HERE TO KILL YOU BUT THAT CAN CHANGE!

[fourleafcleaver]

DON'T YOU DARE YOU'LL GET CAUGHT SO FAST EVERYONE WILL TOTALLY NOTICE LET ME GO [WORDLESS SHRIEKING] PUT! ME! DOWN! [MORE WORDLESS SHRIEKING

the question is are we smart enough to take the elevator and confine the noise to the human lifting box for like a minute and a half or are we going up EVERY SET OF STAIRS

what considerate housemates]

[keepshispride]

[Considering I totally forgot we even had an elevator, they're taking the stairs. Look, Vegeta's not getting into an enclosed space with this menace who knows what she might try!!]

I'LL PUT YOU DOWN ONCE YOU PROVE YOU CAN ACT LIKE AN ADULT AND NOT A SCREECHING CHILD!

[Though for the sake of everyone's ear drums, let's say they're reaching the third floor about now-ish.]
