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

It's a warning to the general populace that they're about to face an attack from the sky.

[So says Vegeta, standing nearby and staring directly up.]

Different civilizations use different means, but it amounts to the same thing. "Pay attention, you're about to die."

[Vegeta's more used to being on the other side of this scenario.]

[americanbeauty]

From the sky? Is that also normal where you're from?

[What are planes??

But now she is looking towards the sky in worry as well.]

[keepshispride]

Of course. It's not unusual to attempt an attack from the air, since it's harder to defend and can take your enemy by surprise. A warning like this might be for someone like me, who can fly under their own power, or for someone attacking from a plane or spacecraft.

[Looks over at her.] Your people haven't developed the technology for flight yet? [The first thing any civilization does with something like that is attack someone, after all, so they probably haven't.]

[americanbeauty]

Of course! Humans aren't supposed fly! [The first trial sucked and so does everyone with super powers (not really). But then something he says clicks.]

I think I read about someone who was working on a thing like that but it only glided for a couple of feet. Honestly, the technology in some of these other worlds... [It sounds like craziness. But she's used to the bizarre by now.]

[keepshispride]

Anyone can fly, so long as they're not a complete weakling.

[All you people just haven't been trying hard enough.]

Hmpf. Your planet must be incredibly primitive.

[americanbeauty]

[Vegeta... Vegeta, no. Your world is weird.]

Not at all. It seems like I can't go a day without reading about some new invention or the other in the news.

[The turn of the century is wild. And is she feeling a little defensive? Maybe. She likes her world, okay?]

[herbgrace]

He's right. I'm used to the context being bombs, but here... [Maybe the void is descending on them from above. Could be anything!]

[keepshispride]

Could be a purge, but we already would have been attacked in that case. Though it's not like we have anywhere to go, no matter how early they warn us.

[americanbeauty]

[Considering Lucy has no experience with bombs from the sky she was thinking it was some bizarre magical thing like the void too.]

It could be an alarm for anything, really. Although it doesn't seem like anything is happening...

[ ??? what is going on in murder town.]
