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

Rhys?

[GLANCING OVER... Every time Rhys does the little oh noooo whine, Gilbert knows it's time to be a little concerned...]

[jackhole]

[ it is definitely time to be concerned! but it's not related to murder town, thank god. he jumps a little, looking away from the monitor and over to gilbert, eyes wide. ]

Gilbert! H-Hey, man. Yo.

[ and then he just sort of looks confused because did he just say yo? ]

[stupidly]

[HEY MAN. YO!! Gilbert doesn't know this hip young person lingo but Rhys is definitely getting a vaguely concerned look.

He's also politely averting his gaze from the monitor, because like Urashima, he doesn't feel he has any right to snoop.]

Should we step out?

[If the motive's rough, might as well not stick around!]

[jackhole]

[ rhys opens his mouth, hesitates, and then swaps to a quick nod. he breaks from the cluster of ppeople and heads towards the kitchen, assuming gilbert will follow. they can get some coffee! of the non-bleached variety! ]

Dude, this motive. Regret? That's -- That's pretty messed up!

[ wise words from a guy super familiar with making bad decisions, honestly. ]

[stupidly]

[Gilbert does indeed follow! Good, he loves coffee at all times of the day.]

...Well, they've been pretty messed up from the start.

[The motives and the people running this entire thing.]

But this is definitely something that people shouldn't take advantage of. The ability to change the past... Nothing good comes from that.

[jackhole]

[ you made coffee last time, gilbert, so rhys is going to go handle that now. just let him do! ]

Yeah, but this is... more.

[ at least for rhys it is! he looks over at gilbert after he says that, raising an eyebrow. ]

I don't know, man. There's a lot of things I wouldn't mind going back and changing. If it's something small, what's the harm, right? [ pulling out some coffee filters now as he continues. ] Saying no when you said yes. Saying yes when you said no. Hah. Would be sweet.

[stupidly]

[He'll hang back and let Rhys do his thing, then! Even though he kind of hovers... instead of just sitting at the table... It's what he does.

But as Rhys will find, both himself and Break are firmly in the No Changing The Past camp, and Gilbert shakes his head in response.]

Even a small decision could end up having enormous consequences. That's the way it works. You could try to fix something small and end up killing people, you know?

[JUMPING TO EXTREMES-- Well, it's not too extreme for their bizarro world.]

[jackhole]

[ seriously... is one noodle babysitting the other? that figures. that totally figures. but the response still makes rhys kind of frown and he glances at the rest of the kitchen because this is probably a shitty thing to say but -- ]

Yeah, but if it's just a few people, what's the harm?

[ man, it's a good thing rhys won't be on the suspect list later because lmao. ]
