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

[ 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?]

[dereban]

[ wh... at... ]

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

[whereisyourdognow]

[there is! at the end of the infinite scarf sheet is a folded piece of cardboard. the sheet is tied to it through a poorly-made hole. does inaba dare open it. and more importantly

the annoying dog seems to be getting impatient, pawing at inaba repeatedly. either he really wants her to open it, or he wants more pets. it is hard to tell because he keeps looking at the cardboard.]

[dereban]

[ This feels like a trap. Swallowing hard, she decides to open it. ]

Let's see what we have here...

[whereisyourdognow]

[the note is written in comic sans. it says: what do you call a small fish magician? a magic carpet.. there is also a small bone taped underneath the message.

the dog's eyes zoom in on it. he immediately forgets all about pets and makes to grab the bone.]

[dereban]

[ Sans....... ]

You like the bone?

[whereisyourdognow]

[the dog does not answer. it is too busy attempting to grab the bone. plz give bone. plz plz plz plz plz plz]

[dereban]

[ She'll just grab the bone... and throw it. Go fetch? ]

1/2

[whereisyourdognow]

[the dog runs after the bone and catches it in mid-air! .... the dog continues to run!! it is running away. it has run. it is gone.

he has left what seems to be a spider web behind . . . ? on top of the, uh. sheet-scarf magic trick.]

[thebonezone]

[meanwhile, have a skeleton. he is standing there now. how long has he been there???? it is a mystery. he's mostly looking at the scarf magic trick, though.]

huh. so that's where that went.

[dereban]

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]

[dereban]

No, I meant... this thing. [ Just gestures at the sheets, what the fuck. ]

[thebonezone]

oh, those? yeah, i was tryin' out more interactive pranks. though this is more of a prank-joke hybrid. a... jank. [why didn't he call it a poke? the true mystery.] totally lost it before i could try it out on my bro. the bone was probably a bad idea.

[because clearly nothing else about that was a bad idea. also, did he really lose it or did he mean for the dog to absorb it? it is impossible to tell from his tone of voice.]

[dereban]

...

[ What. ]

Well, the dog really liked the bone.

[thebonezone]

he is a dog. probably why he decided to absorb the thing in the first place.

[because it's totally normal for dogs to absorb things]

[dereban]

... Your dog. Absorbs things.

[ That's not normal-! ]

[thebonezone]

yeah. s'what i said. well, i wouldn't call it my dog, but the gist of it sounds about right.

[inaba you are talking to a magical skeleton.]
