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

[Don't worry, she'll just... remain perfectly still here then.

She knows better than to move when someone's got a weapon that close, especially when they're practicing.]

... Good day, Alisha.

[princessantly]

... Good day, Lady Selena. [ With a shallow bow, even. ] Was there anything you needed from me?

[fluorospar]

No, not in the least. Please, do not allow me to interrupt your practice.

[But... well....]

It seems you are busy with something, after all.

[princessantly]

Not too terribly... I just like to keep my skills sharp.

[fluorospar]

And keep your mind off of other things, perhaps?

[It's not super subtle.]

[princessantly]

... Um, well, it's--

[ NO SHE WAS PERFECTLY FOCUSED ON NORMAL THINGS ALL THIS TIME. ]

[fluorospar]

[Uh...huh...]

... I do not intend to pry, though I will admit it is rather worrisome.

[princessantly]

... You and Lady Morrigan really are both incredibly perceptive...

[ Is this an older lady thing? Is Alisha going to gain this skill if she survives past 19??

Or maybe she's just obvious. ]

[fluorospar]

[A little of both, Alisha.

Try to survive past 19.]

Honestly--there is no need to pout. In time, I am certain you shall be just as perceptive.

[It's cute, though.]

[princessantly]

I'm not pouting! It was just an observation!

[ NO SHE'S DIGNIFIED... ]

[fluorospar]

As you say, Dame Alisha.

[So calmly........ OK ALISHA....]

[princessantly]

[ DON'T JUDGE-- ]

... You're right, however. I wished for a distraction.

[fluorospar]

There is nothing wrong with needing a distraction from something such as that. Noris there anything wrong with throwing yourself into your training.

[...But.]

Though this is a dangerous place. Please do not lose yourself so thoroughly that you are not aware of what is happening around you.

[princessantly]

Yes... [ Oh... well, yes, she'd expected some sort of scolding. ] It won't happen again, Lady Selena.

[fluorospar]

So long as you understand.

[Which she seems to, so that's good.]

Now. Will you show me your paces and practice?

[princessantly]

Yes, of course. Will you be joining me? [ Or just watching? ]
