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

Men have been nothing but monstrous beings to me. My whole life, it's been that way. And here, for the first time in my life, I have met other women. Can you blame me for my bias?

[dereban]

[ SKELEBRO you better not be in there what the fuck

But yes, she'll keep pulling. ]

[whereisyourdognow]

[it is not a skeleton!

it is distinctly sheet-like. in fact, once you pull enough, inaba will notice it is an entire sheet. though it is tied together like a magician's scarf trick. will it ever end?]

[jackhole]

[ OH... KAY....... okay.

rhys is definitely going to jerk upright at that, clutching his flesh hand to his chest while he squints around in the dark. ]

Wuhzat--

[ don't play him, murdertown. do not. ]

/orin hissing in the distance

[vicedirector]

[ The source is only a few feet away, a little Scottie dog just. Sitting there. Looking up at her. Pet me, lady. ]

[okuri]

I can't.

But your assumption about me is wrong. [It's not something he ever brings up, but if there's one thing he hates more than anything else, it's being judged at face value.]

bad kitty!!!

[unpleasantries]

[You don't even understand this is the best week in Lebensbaum of all time. Two dogs. Two dogs! also i forgot lithuania has a dog in the previous tag? sorry lithuania

Satori reaches down to pet the dog. This is what she's here for. To be an ass to people and extremely nice to animals.]

[dereban]

[ wh... at... ]

Why does a dog have hammerspace?! [ Maybe she'll keep pulling. Maybe there will be an end to this. ]

[jackhole]

[ he gives a shake of his head then, deciding he might as well explain. ]

Not really. I'm mostly trying to commit what it looks like to memory. If anything's disturbed later, I can match it up to what I see now. So far, just a normal police station, I guess.

[ . . . ]

I've, uh, never actually seen an Earth police station so...

wednesday, 6ish

[ DOGCHIATRIST. psydogatrist. psychdogist. ]

Hey there, little barkbeast. Are you here to listen to peoples problems and prescribe medication to treat their symptoms?

[ Pets the dog! She may be a cat lady but she can appreciate a barkbeast when she sees one. ]

[fluorospar]

I will be fine, of course.

[She's confident enough, and she'll be careful.]

But thank you for your concern. In return, please take care of yourself as well. You may not be able to be physically harmed here any longer, but there are other forms of hurt.

[And she suspects Buddy must be hurting.]

[unpleasantries]

[Satori has been so deprived of animal contact she will pet this dog for the rest of her stay in Lebensbaum if she has the opportunity. Don't worry, dog, the pets are not stopping any time soon.]

[lastgirl]

...I'll be fine. I'm free now, so I'll be fine.

[This is what being happy is, right?]

[dereban]

I don't need protection from someone I can't trust. [ And yet Inaba didn't vote for Buddy for a reason. ]

[lastgirl]

...Well, you aren't the worst I've ever met. I certainly like that you're a quiet type. As far as things you, you could be a lot worse.

[That is about the closest compliment she will give.]

[keepshispride]

[There are a lot of things for Vegeta to regret but there's nothing on the screen that should stand out as belonging to him. Maybe his glare tightens a little bit when there's a brief image of a spikey haired man with a halo smiling, but that's all.]

... Well, isn't that nice of them?

[whereisyourdognow]

[the dog edges closer to try to get more pets. PLEASE PET DOG??? PLEASE LET DOG IN LAP??? plz scratch behind ears.]

[vicedirector]

[ AWWWWW YIIS HUMANS ARE GREAT, OR SO THIS DOG THINKS

THEY HAVE HANDS FOR PETTING HIM

He flops on his back for her, much like the Annoying Dog did. Truly Satori's animal whispering is coming in handy.

...but as he does that she will also notice there's a collar with tags around his neck. ]

[unpleasantries]

It seems like you've got a difficult position in life.

[Being the last human woman means everyone will be looking to her, after all - trying to force her to reproduce. It's not a situation Satori envies.]

I don't particularly care about the affairs of humans, but are you really okay with letting your species die?

[This is a really interesting moral dilemma, as far as Satori's concerned, one that she wishes she could see the inner workings of. So she'll just have to ask nosy questions and hope she gets answers.]

[jackhole]

[ you are a giant dog and rhys generally does not trust animals. he's not even a cat person. he's not even a PLANT person. ]

Well. Yeah. Everything's going to shit and I'm never going to see my friends again. Also, I'll probably die! Everything's terrible!

[ did you really expect more, lithuania ]

[dhaosu]

[ He hears her voice, although just barely since he may have tuned out to his surroundings. ]

...Mm.

[ He turns his attention to her. ]

Predictable, am I?

[jackhole]

[ have a very baffled look, selena ]

You do remember that you don't like me, right?

[whereisyourdognow]

[the dogchiatrist barks. one bark means yes. please tell the dog your problems.

petting the dog is also acceptable. the dog inches closer for more pets.]

[keepshispride]

[Here we have the real Buddy system.]

Planning on being a human shield?

[lastgirl]

My whole life, I was sheltered from the rest of my homeland because my caretaker Brad believed the world would try to take advantage of me. I resented him for making that choice for me...but in hindsight, I can't blame him entirely.

[In the end, she can't ever forgive Brad for depriving her of a choice. She can, at the least, understand what made him so forceful about keeping her sheltered.]

If humanity is to live, I want it to be under my rule. I want to be the savior of the world. I think that's only fair if I'm the last woman alive.
