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

icon browser...you betrayed me...why did you show faize's icons while i was on kuzuryuu's account...

[symbologic]

[Ugh, he can't help his bias.]

I apologize for phrasing it as such, those were Miata's words, not mine. In retrospect, I should have avoided a direct quote...

[Why is Miata so blunt.]

I'M LAUGHING SO HARD

[princessantly]

No, it's all right... thanks to that, I could tell exactly who gave you that reason. I suspected your commitment to... ah, investigating so thoroughly was the answer, anyway.

[ SHE DIDN'T GO GUT DIGGING. ]

HE WOULD HAVE WORDED IT SO MUCH MORE CRASSLY THAN MIATA I'M... THROWS HANDS UP. GET OUT KAZOO

[symbologic]

I had a similar suspicion as well. Though I think I might have preferred a different confirmation. [A beat.] Or perhaps no confirmation at all.

[At least he didn't have to sit through the cinnamon bread debacle like poor Urashima, BUT ALL THE SAME...digging through Zelos's guts.]

But to move on to a different matter... I am pleased to finally have a chance to see your spearmanship in action. It's quite impressive.

[princessantly]

Really... thank you. [ with a rueful smile. ] I do try to practice daily, the week allowing. If you were curious, you were welcome to ask at any time.

... Although I don't usually get an audience.

[ Just basic practice!! ]

[symbologic]

I will have to take you up on that offer, then. Spears are not a weapon in very common usage on Eldar, this is the first time I have seen one in more than just passing.

[And they're also probably like...weird laser spears or something. Because that seems to be the Eldarian go-to for everything BUT swords.]

I assure you though, you will hardly know I am here. I would hate to disturb your concentration at such an important time.

[Training is the most important thing. THE MOST IMPORTANT. Daily training, especially.]

[princessantly]

If it's you, I'd hardly consider that a disturbance. It's also nice to have company every once in a while.

[ Otherwise she'd probably train for hours and get scolded for it. ]

[symbologic]

[Alisha...pushing your limits is important but knowing when to stop is also important. smh]

Then I trust now would be as good a time as any? I'm sure my interruption has gone on long enough at this point, has it not?

[The real reason it's a shame she didn't get immunity this week is that he can't offer to spar with her. Sitting and watching will just have to do for now.]

[princessantly]

I certainly don't mind if you stay... but watching me won't be too boring for you?

[symbologic]

[He shakes his head.]

Not at all! Observation is one of the best methods by which to learn, after all. I may use a sword, but that does not mean there is nothing to be learned from other weapon styles.

[Also you're cute and he just likes being around you.]

[princessantly]

[ You could just say that, you know. But it's a sensible reason, and Alisha mulls it over for only a few seconds, before she nods. ]

Then I hope I'm able to help.

[ She'll settle back into going through the forms again. For such a large weapon, she's pretty deft at wielding it. ]
