week 4

[vicedirector]

seven vices week 4 28 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 police station to the far east of the chapel. On the chapel wall near the altar, black and white portraits of Youko, Zelos, and Morrigan have been hung up. Anyone looking for them will find that Youko's pink shoes and the fragments of Zelos's crystal are now gone. >Mingle? This is Week 4's mingle log, covering Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. Investigations will go up on Friday. When posting toplevels, specify the time and location. If you plan on having any private conversations between characters, remember to let us know in the post linked below. More plot elements will be introduced this week. Mod comments will be occasionally distributed to open toplevels, accordingly. cast setting rulebook profiles private conversations

So this is yours.

[thebonezone]

what, the stand? yeah. i'm loaning it to the dog at this hour, though.

[that is obviously not what she meant. does he care. no. also: look the note is written in comic sans who else would it be]

[fourleafcleaver]

[Entirely pleased!! Such high praise, and Clover looks even more delighted, cheerfully hip-checking the oven door shut.]

Mostly just for work. [Back to mixing that bowl of batter, humming a little as she does.] It's like, by the time I'm done with my shift I never wanna see flour again in my life, though.

[princessantly]

Yes, that's perfect.

[ She's going to pick up a twig and toss it up into the air, bringing her spear forward-- and doing this.

Which is nice and flashy and glow-y and totally murders a twig, but Alisha seems slightly surprised by something... and also a little wobbly as she lowers her spear. ]

[princessantly]

... [ Okay, yeah, she's got to laugh too. ] I might be offended, but I doubt they'd want to room with anyone.

[muties]

[ Woo, dog petting. ]

What a good dog. I bet you've had a rough time, meetin' all these weird new people then them murderin' each other.

[ So stressful for a doge. ]

[fourleafcleaver]

[At first it seems like she's ignoring him and instead continuing to throw stuff in her mixing bowl—except then she finishes the first loop of the hook and oh no, it repeats twice, and she whirls around to face him and continues, FAR TOO LOUDLY—]

Bitches ain't shit [GESTURES WITH HER SPOON, BATTER GETS EVERYWHERE] and they ain't sayin' nothing! A hundred motherfuckers [WITH EMPHASIS SO HE HEARS THIS TIME] can't tell me nothing! [TWIRLS SPOON A LITTLE, RESUMES MIXING, and chills out a little bit as she continues:] I beez in the trap, beez, beez in the trap...

[why Clover]

[princessantly]

Forgive me-- [ A DEEPER BOW?? ] I truly hadn't meant to hurt you!

[ Well, yes. ]

[detanimetion]

Well...good! Exactly! [Sounding pretty surprised! She'd been expecting him to brush it off with a dumb joke, but he actually sounds like he's taking this seriously.] At least they're not messing with our heads this time.

[princessantly]

... Well, we have shackles... I believe it may be more-or-less the same?

[ Yes. ]

[aumygoddess]

Do you mean hoping for it too hard?

[ that's deep, bro ]

[princessantly]

[ Oh boy training with an older lady who also uses a spear this sure brings back memories--

But no, she actually brightens. ]

I'd be delighted to, Lady Undyne!

[muties]

[ Points for trying to watch it, anyway. Who're those dead kids, one wonders. ]

I've already got a rough draft of just that.

[ Taps notebook. There is no such draft BUT THERE REALLY SHOULD BE. ]

Was thinkin' of it. Maybe like, try and see which crappy thing belongs to who, y'know? Total up who's got the most crappy, see if it helps when... well.

[ when some ahole inevitability murders someone later this week ]

Tuesday

[princessantly]

[ Alisha has yet to trust The Pool, so she's still fully-clothed when she wanders in... but she has to smile, seeing the dog cutely splashing around so happily. ]

You both look like you're enjoying yourselves.

[symbologic]

[While he's normally a pretty focused guy, apparently that focus multiplies to an alarming degree when he's training. Faize didn't even hear Break until he spoke. But it's enough to get him to stop and turn to face the man, lowering his sword to his side.]

[Faize isn't exactly the quietest when he trains though so he's just assuming Break must have recognized his voice. Though...that doesn't explain why he's apparently walking around with his eyes closed? wtf dude. You're gonna trip and probably die, knowing murder town.]

Yes. I have been training with the sword for some time now. Though I'm sure it is no time at all compared to the the rest of you with sword skills. [Seriously, basically all of you except for Zelos are like super old immortals or whatever. Or straight up a sword. HE IS THE ODD ONE OUT.]

[muties]

all week THE RETURN OF HOT OR NOT

[ Guess what Roxy feels the need to complete?? Hot or Not. She will approach people at random through-out the week, notebook and pamphlet in hand. ]

Hey there, mind answering a few questions? [ :)

(run) ]

tuesday/wednesday

[ For both days, a chunk of her time is spent in the lobby in front of the monitor. She doesn't seem bothered by it, instead it looks like she's... taking notes? Whoa, when did she get studious.

When she hears anyone approaching (unless it's, like Hinata or Faize or Inaba), however, she hurriedly tosses the notebook away from her. Apparently she doesn't want to look like a nosy bitch even though she's. Kind of being a nosy bitch. ]

Hey, what up?

thursday

[ Finally gets around to checking out the police station! And them guns. She is somewhat disappointed there's no laser-powered rifles. Why you so technologically in-advanced, backwater European murder village? ]

Funny they have a police station at all. Doesn't seemed to have helped none.

[ Since... now the village is murder village. And empty of all former inhabitants besides Miata. And random void apparitions. ]

[ Or feel free to find her wherever whenever during the week! If you want a private convo or plot or w/e with this loser, pm or pp me at mercurialfelines! ]

good work team laundry SHOOTING FOR THE STARS

[stupidly]

[Please spare him Faize, he's but a simple weenie hut jr. club member.

ANYWAY-- He leans over a little to get a look at the thing Faize is checking out, brow furrowed a little.]

Er— You'll need detergent, first. Fabric softener just... makes clothes soft.

[He's a Starched Laundry Victorian though so he doesn't really understand it and hasn't used it more than once. ANYWAY-- Off to go fetch the thingy of detergent! So fun to use now that it's got murder written all over it.]

This is the soap.

[princessantly]

I'm not pouting! It was just an observation!

[ NO SHE'S DIGNIFIED... ]

[okuri]

[ He definitely can't pronounce it right either, between his hearing and Japanese accent.]

Why food shortage? [ He agrees on her implication, however.]

No. But she said someone had saw her younger sister last week too.

t h e r e t u r n.........placeholder for tomorrow

[aumygoddess]

About what...?

[ this is a little fishy!! ]

DAT GAME... on Thursday

[princessantly]

... Mm? [ Alisha totally missed this, so... she has no idea. She's just giving Roxy a curious glance. ] What about?

hot or not, part dos on wednesday

[dereban]

... This again? [ WHY????? ]

HOT HOT HOT joining the queue...

[keepshispride]

[Vegeta glares at Roxy as she approaches him.]

What do you want?

[fourleafcleaver]

Probably because it got really inconvenient to keep building boats and setting them on fire, I guess? [pause.] Modern arson laws, too. I dunno, sometimes we do cremations and dump the ashes over places the person loved.

[Undyne please......] Uh. Probably not? Someone might wanna hang onto that stuff.

...There's another outfit in there that's probably fair game, though. [like if you REALLY wanna set something ablaze; why is her life so filled with pyromaniacs???]

wednesday, but if hot or not enters the discussion at some point i will not complain

[symbologic]

[Here's a walking exception to the rule right now. Faize never really took Roxy for the note taking type, so he's a little curious. Gurl, what r u up to...]

Nothing particularly. Though I suppose I could ask you...what is up? [Faize, no. You really need to stop trying to use modern Earth slang and gestures it's just really awkward when you do it.] Have you discovered something new about this motive?
