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

[dereban]

... Yeah, definitely. I don't like it.

[sobowtor]

[Poland's back on the floor. It really was greener on the other side...]

You know I'm starting to think this plan of yours maybe wasn't all that well thought out?

1/3

[sobowtor]

[If you believe it. You can achieve it. Even getting into a fight with Urashima, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

Except fixing stuff that already happened. That's. Impossible.]

Yeah. Plus. Lithuania's too serious for something silly like that...

2/3

[sobowtor]

[Although. It did look like a 'I TRIED' attempt at the hot chocolate she always made for Lithuania.]

...

[Poland's eyes widen with a sudden realization.]

Oh. OH! Oh oh oh! Oh!!!

3/3

[sobowtor]

Ugh oh my god... [Why is everyone she befriends a GIANT NERD.]

It's not a breakfast ghost.

I know who it is.

[sobowtor]

[Like as if she could. HA HA.

No, but. Alisha looks like she can be pretty fierce when she wants to be. Poland's not one to write off someone just because they're cute. Hmm.]

I don't have a weapon. [Poland looks around for a suitable fallen branch, snapping the excess dead twigs off it.] But this is fine!

Whenever you're ready.

[sobowtor]

Hey, why don't you dance with me?

[There. Problem solved.]

[dhaosu]

[ He looks surprised. He didn't think Poland would wish to, but he doesn't mind the idea since he doubts she'll make a big deal out of it. ]

...Very well, although I will warn you...It has been some time since my last dance.

[ But he knows how to since royal instructors. ]<\small>

That said, perhaps we should move some of these items out of the way to make room.

[ Beginning to make room in here as he does so. ]

[sobowtor]

[Well it's easier to get Dhaos to dance than it would be Lithuania!]

All the more reason to dance!

[Poland's quick to jump up and start shoving things out of the way.]

Wildcard

[dhaosu]

[ Late Thursday night, Clover will (if she stays up that late) locate a mysterious note wedged in between the door, or something. It is very clearly sticking out either way. ]

[keepshispride]

[Well, that's reasonable.]

So go bother the humans about it.

[dhaosu]

[ Most people who would have asked Dhaos he would have turned down, ok. ]

I suppose you are correct in that manner.

[ Once they're finished, he begins to move just so towards her, and holds out his hand to the other blond. ]

[dhaosu]

Then, perhaps 5:00 PM shall suffice?

[ Routines are very much important, he can understand that. ]

1/2

[sobowtor]

[Oh my god, Poland's ascended to Dhaos' dance partner.

Oh and he's gonna be all fancy about it. Ooh.]

2/2

[sobowtor]

[Poland curtsies, properly.

Then takes Dhaos' hand. She guesses she'll let him lead.

This time.]

So. You're a king and you haven't danced in a while?

[keepshispride]

I didn't say she was. [Just that she's probably in hell. LOOK, VEGETA'S STANDARDS ARE... COMPLICATED...]

[Also Clover no don't] No. And I haven't been trying to.

[stupidly]

[uuugh UGHHH HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO BRING BAD THINGS TO URASHIMA'S DOORSTEP. There's a second where he considers going after him, but in the end, he just sets to work instead.

About an hour later, if Urashima doesn't mosey back first, he'll set out with a tray that has a little pot-pie looking thing on it though.]

Urashima?

[stupidly]

—Why is it suddenly my plan?! I didn't support it a single time!

[He's so old and tired Poland, why must you tease him like this.]

[stupidly]

[There's a look of mild surprise in response, but since Dhaos technically isn't wrong, he just nods after a second.]

I can't— [WELL... No, that's a good enough answer.] But the Chains can.

[sobowtor]

Okay so what's your plan?

[Listen. Listen. She is way older and way less tired, sir! You should clearly be adopting her lackadaisical life style to feel less old and tired.]

[stupidly]

[If he tried to do that, he'd be dead due to severe anxious stomach aches within like twelve hours...]

I— [...That's a good question, though!] Er... I don't think you should engage directly at all. Just sticking around long enough to see who's doing it would be a good start, right? You can figure out a safer way to confront them after that.

[stupidly]

[YOU CAUGHT HIM... He'll have to save his murder plans for next week now, since laundry always takes priority.]

It's fine. These things can be complicated to learn, especially when there are more pressing issues to focus on.

[Like not dying or being tempted into murder...

That said, he'll step back and wait for Faize to make his laundry attempt here!]

[sobowtor]

Maybe we should shock them so they are stunned and we can get a good look at them.

Let's make a breakfast to put there first before they get there to put their's down!

[stupidly]

Do you think something like that would really work?

[Well. ...It probably would surprise whoever's leaving the trays...]

[dhaosu]

I...

[ He seems to pause, possibly considering in her wording, but deciding it's fine, as her hand is taken within his own and the other goes to proper, respective location. He begins to cautiously, yet carefully lead her. ]

I have not, no. It has been such a long time since I have been in such a position to do so at all-- perhaps a hundred or so years. You, on the other hand, seem to partake in such an activity often?
