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

Because Faize just asked me the same fucking thing.

[ POUNDING THIS BREAD DOUGH!! REALLY AGGRESSIVELY!! ]

[minogame]

( GDI FAIZE )

I didn't know, I didn't know! ( She pounds the dough and he flinches. AH THAT SOUND LIKE IT HURT. ) Sorry! I'm sorry!

[vicedirector]

[ Miata doesn't say anything for a second, continuing to take out her silent anger on the dough. Just when it appears she's cut off the conversation, she adds: ]

Do you want some cinnamon bread or something?!

[ SAID ALSO VERY AGGRESSIVELY more like a yell than a question

god you're scaring the smol soard ]

[minogame]

( AAAAAH HE'S STEPPING AWAY NOW )

NO!

( Gosh, he said that pretty loudly and aggressively right back, )

I'm okay! Bye!

( And he literally runs away, making his retreat for now.




And totally forget to get his pendant blessed. Look, he'll come back later to get it blessed. When shes' in a better mood, AAAAAAAH )

[minogame]

( And sure enough


an hour or two later, he's back lingering around a bit to make sure she's in a good mood before speaking again, )

Miss Miata? ( . . . ) It's me again.

( He realized he forgot something. )

[vicedirector]

[ She seems calmer, at least? ]

Mmm, what is it? The pendant?

[minogame]

( A nod, )

Yes. ( He'll come over... cautiously. ) And I have a question too. A different one.

[vicedirector]

[ Then she will do the pendant magic should he come close enough! Done and done. ]

What?

[ if this is more questions about the ghosts she swears to god ]

[minogame]

Well, I was wondering! The weather doesn't really change here. ( It's snowy and cold? ) Back home, it should almost be spring... uhm, I mean, what I'm trying to ask is!

How long is winter here?

wait no i read my calendar wrong

[vicedirector]

[ ...ah

Her expression softens. ]

It's March 7th, right now. This country is really far up north, so our winters tend to last pretty long. Like "until the end of April" long.

[minogame]

( A place up north where winter lasts until April. He's still learning about these months and getting used to this calendar but that means... there's still a while to go. He makes a bit of face, clearly not happy about this answer but it's not Miata's fault. )

But it'll start to get warm soon, right? Is it nice?

( Are there flowers and you know... LESS SNOW HE'S SO TIRED OF SNOW NOW. )

[vicedirector]

Depends on your definition of "soon." [ ... ] They're alright, I guess. We haven't had any heatwaves in, like, fifty years though. Mild, really.

[minogame]

"Soon!" ( It could be tomorrow or in a month or a year from now... his sense of time is a little different, naturally. ) If it gets too hot, you can go swimming so it isn't too bad!

... I'm just tired of the cold.

[vicedirector]

...do you not know how to parse calendars, or?

[ really, urashima, it's like a month and a half ]

[minogame]

I'm still learning the western one! I've only been using it for a little while~.

You guys have your New Year in the very beginning of "January!" That's the first month of the year. ( Listen to turtle sword share his life lessons with you, Miata. He's very proud. ) That's almost a month earlier than the day I'm used to!

And then it's really easy to lose track of time back home too because we're always traveling to different eras... One day I can be in the year 1300 for a week and then we'll go back home and it'll be 2205 again!

[vicedirector]

...oh. Yeah, I guess time travel would really fuck things up like that.

[ appearing to consider this ]
