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

[Break better watch out and make sure his ass doesn't get got by an Envy who wants princess hair this week.

But he watches Break's expression quietly and carefully, since he absolutely knows that Break understands which memory scraps of his are being shown without him having to say anything directly. Of course it would be that moment, and it isn't really better just because it's splintered, or just because no one else would get it. It's still invasive and cruel - not just to Break, of course, but to everyone here.

He's quiet for another second.]

We can be on the lookout this week.

[To, you know, headbutt people who seem like they might go for something like this.]

[crazily]

[ he fucking will, just try him punks ]

I suppose that sounds strange, since we should be normally... But I will be.

[ Break smiles, but it's more harried and tired looking than usual. ]

...Yet all the same, I'm sure there will be at least one person that can't pass it up. It's too tempting.

[stupidly]

[He'd been thinking the same thing, honestly, but he's glad he's not the one who said it aloud... He wasn't sure if Break would want to confront that inevitability.]

We'll still do our best. ...Even if there's one, if others can still be stopped, that's...

[...Well. Not ideal, but still better than nothing.]

[crazily]

Better than nothing.

[ Break finishes the sentence for him, but his anger is turning into a much more manageable annoyance instead. ]

Ahh~. I'm reminded of your idiot, sewer rat brother, you know. Only the most pathetic people jump at something like this.

[ Technically he's including himself in that too, but he'd at least like to think he's better. Vincent, though? He'll definitely headbutt him as hard as he can. ]

[stupidly]

Break...

[Don't make fun of people who aren't even here to defend themselves!! Also, don't self-slam like that, god. After sighing like an old man:]

That sort of temptation is something that could affect anyone.

[crazily]

[ Listen he gets to make fun of Vincent as much as he wants... He has plenty of reason okay!! ]

It could. I won't disagree with that.

[ He sighs heavily, but it trails off into a lighter sound. He waves his hand at Gilbert, then starts to usher him away. ]

Well~. With that excitement done for the day, I think I need something sweet to eat. Do you think you could make some~thing~? [ he's stress eating ]

[stupidly]

[And ushered away he'll be...! He has no particular desire to see the things playing out on the screen, himself, and it's probably better to distract Break from his urge to headbutt anyone who might contemplate the motive.]

Sure. How sweet? Breakfast-sweet?

[It's afternoon so he'll make Break a damn cake if he wants one, whatever!!]

[crazily]

...Just something sweet. Your pastries and the like are always excellent, so I'll leave it to you.

[ Wow, Break must be upset, he let a rare piece of praise slip out... ]

[stupidly]

[He'd cherish this moment if it wasn't a sign of how troubled Break is... (He's still kind of cherishing it, actually, this shit is rare--)]

All right. I'll make some turnovers, then.

[Since he can make several in one go and he imagines Break will be needing Many Sweets...]
