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

[This is starting to feel familiar.

She also doesn't feel quite so bad on encroaching on his quiet time, either, if only because she is concerned.]

I thought I might find you here.

[dereban]

Well, I don't see the computer itself, just the monitor. Otherwise I'd totally dismantle it.

[ She's an expert at computers! She knows how to take them apart. ]

[whereisyourdognow]

[the dog is vibrating in place in anticipation of pets.

pet???? pet!!!!!]

[symbologic]

This is beyond a "little" outdated, where I am from. [Like...he almost wasn't sure this was a computer.] But...I suppose we could try, they don't have any rules against tampering with these items, after all.

[And he has immunity so obviously they aren't gonna kill him? Let the alien hack the computer. Nothing can go wrong.]

[ When Rhys is in his room one night, he will feel something fluttering around his wrist. Er, his human one, that is. ]

[dereban]

[ ...

You know what. Screw it. She'll crouch down to attempt to pet it. It's such a cute dog, after all. ]

[whereisyourdognow]

[the dog's tail wags and he barks once more!! he seems to be very happy with his petting.

however, there seems to be something stuck in his fur...?]

[lastgirl]

It will benefit the women. I won't lift a finger to help any man here and for a fucking good reason!

[She steps toward him, jabbing a finger hard right at his stomach area.]

Men are monsters who destroyed the world. In my homeland, there are no women, humanity is doomed to extinction, and what has come of it? Corpses litter the wasteland! Gangs fight for power! Men will kill for status, for a meal, for perverse pleasure! And I was sheltered from it all because my dad knew what the world would do to me if I was ever exposed to it! He knew I would become a prize to be fought over, unless I was ready to fight back for my freedom!

And he was right! Right about everything!

But I never asked Morrigan to die for me. I told her she could expose herself if she felt her life was in danger and she did, but all of you still voted for her! And you think you get to act all high and mighty because you were one of the few who didn't? You, the most cowardly person here, who doesn't contribute anything worthwhile and vomits at the mere sight of a corpse?! You think you have any right to talk to me like this?

[And then she makes a gargled choking sound behind a closed mouth and when it's done - she spits right toward Rhys' face.]

Fuck. You.

I hope you die here and I hope it's painful you piece of shit.

[lastgirl]

None at all. That's why I was so surprised when I came here - I had never seen other women before.

That's when I knew I had to keep you all safe. So far I've failed at that, but now I have more power to do so.

[lastgirl]

Unless there is a way to reproduce without a man being involved.

[ While outside, Satori can hear some barking behind her. And it's not the Annoying Dog. ]

[lastgirl]

[She nods.]

You should still be cautious though. Nobody can hurt me now, but you can still be killed. I don't want that to happen.

[dereban]

Uwaah... it's so cute...

[ Thank goodness nobody's here to see this. But let's see what's in his fur, shall we? ]

[unpleasantries]

[WHO'S A GOOD DOG? YOU ARE. YES YOU ARE. The Annoying Dog gets all the pets.]

[whereisyourdognow]

[it's something just as white as the dog's fur, though it does not feel quite as soft or fluffy. ...it seems like you can pull it?]

[lastgirl]

Sure, you can teach me. [Being near Clover means she can protect her too during that time.] I've never heard of slumber parties before. Is what I proposed like one?

[dereban]

[ What.

That better not be... okay you know what let's pull this shit out and figure out what it is!! ]

[lastgirl]

I would. [She can tell Hanyuu is sad, but there's nothing Buddy can say or do about that.] Guess I'll need to clean my room if people will be over.

OH SHIT????

[unpleasantries]

[Satori immediately whirls around. There aren't any animals here, aside from the dog with the really annoying bark, and the only person who could turn into a dog is dead...

She'll follow the source of the barking.]

[whereisyourdognow]

[PETS!!!! the dog rolls over happily to show his tummy. plz pet dog moar]

[okuri]

Don't judge me based by my sex.

[lastgirl]

[Well, he isn't wrong.]

I'll keep watch over everyone. If one of them tries to commit a murder in the room, I'll stop them. I would hope they would be smarter than that though - killing someone in such a closed space won't make it easy for them to get away. And I am on the third floor, so no escape is possible from the door.

[whereisyourdognow]

[you start pulling. and pulling. and pulling.

it does not seem to end. the dog doesn't seem to notice.

keep pulling?]

[lastgirl]

Yes. My priority is keeping the women here safe. That includes you too of course.

[muties]

Not necessarily.

[ The dad could be divorced. Or widowed. ]

It's an acronym, if that helps.
