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.

[Keep him around, he's useful! He can make pancakes and press shirts!!

He'll make sure no other members of team lust end up all... washed up though... okay--]


You should be fine. We don't have cleaning agents quite like this where I come from, but children would sometimes get very sick just by eating regular hand soap... [THAT'S ALSO VICTORIAN SOAP FOR YOU, THOUGH.]

Basically, if it's for cleaning, you don't want it in your mouth. ...Or in your lungs either, most times.

[Moving over to the washer now, though! At which point he... pauses and looks into both loads. Did this punk not separate his wash!!]
symbologic: on your phone while you made alien sound effects. I'm still not sure why. (unsure ☄ You made me push the buttons)

[Okay but can he bake cookies? If he can bake cookies, he is allowed to survive till end game.]

[Faize nods and starts reading the back of the detergent instead. And, no, he did not separate his wash because he is the most punk of everyone here, clearly. But at least it seems he is safe from the good ol' "don't wash your reds with your whites" trope, as there's no sign of anything warm colored in either machine. Nothing but neutrals and cool colors.]


Is...there some reason for your world has such powerful hand soap? [WHAT THE HELL.]
stupidly: (something something DEATH DESCENDS)

[personal profile] stupidly 2016-03-09 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE CAN. Aw yeah, better than an immortality token blessing.

Gilbert's not about to pick through a stranger's laundry even if he's neurotic about cleaning, though, so it's a good thing Faize just wears things in the same color spectrum...]


Er— well... It needs to be powerful to kill germs, I guess.

[HE GUESSES. Ah, the days where everything was filled with really undiluted lye.]
symbologic: for a cooking show and then proceeded to throw cookies at people. (unsure ☄ Apparently I had an idea for a)

[personal profile] symbologic 2016-03-10 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[You are Faize's new favorite, Gilbert. Or you wold be, if he knew that you know how to bake cookies.]

[Thank you for not digging through his laundry though, that would be weird. Perhaps eventually it will dawn on him to separate things instead of just shoving them all in there at once.]


You must have...very resilient germs then. [No.] So I simply pour the detergent in, start the machine and...that's it?
stupidly: (SWIPER NO SWIPING)

[personal profile] stupidly 2016-03-10 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[If he survives there will be a cookie toplevel just for Faize...]

Er— Close, but not quite. You'll have to measure it out first based on how large your load of laundry is. [Peering in... Are both of these pretty full? How long has Faize waited to do his laundry?? IT'S WEEK FOUR, FAIZE.]

You add the detergent into this little compartment here once it's measured, and select the cycle you want to run. And then you just have to wait until it's finished.
symbologic: and covered in cookies. We should celebrate fake hurricanes every weekend. (shock ☄ Woke up on the floor naked)

[personal profile] symbologic 2016-03-10 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[He will be so excited. Literally his favorite food because he's actually five years old.]

[They are both pretty full, yes. Look, we're gonna say there was enough clothes in his closet for this not to be a problem because motives. Both in-game and katar's lack of them in the beginning. He's probably been wearing magic self-cleaning space underwear this whole time, even if he decided to foray into the exciting world of Earth clothes. Don't judge his life by his laundry.]

[And at least he's not as bad as Bill, who still hasn't done his laundry even by week four, and is probably actually going to put a bar of soap in the machine at some point.]


Oh, is that what these lines are for, then? [He holds up the cap to the laundry detergent, which he apparently opened at some point while Gilbert was talking. He had to know what this detergent stuff looks like.] How ingenious!
stupidly: (nah)

[personal profile] stupidly 2016-03-11 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[FAVORITE FOOD: COOKIES... Incredible.

But yes okay as far as First Time Laundry Goers, Faize is doing pretty well so far! He'll just. You know. Stay here for a little while after everything's set up to make sure it all goes smoothly. Leave it to his luck to make it so the washing machine explodes the day Faize tries to use it or something.]


Mm, that's right. Since these are both full, you'll want to fill it to this line.

[Tapping the side of the cup somewhere between the second and third up from the bottom.]
symbologic: We got drunk and threw a sword through his windshield. (happy ☄ You should have been there.)

[personal profile] symbologic 2016-03-11 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[The things Tri-Ace confirms as canonical fact are truly astounding.]

[Speaking of cookies, Faize is a pretty smart one. Which is probably why things aren't going as horribly as they could. He did at least make an attempt to understand by looking over the machines and cleaning supplies. But he'll probably be a little confused when it comes time to use the dryer, so maybe staying isn't a half bad idea.]

[...unless Gilbert was planning on going off to commit MURDER in between laundry loads.]


I see. I appreciate the assistance, Gilbert. I will have to return the favor at another time.

[Doop doop, putting detergent in the machine. Pondering over the dials for a moment. Let's see if he can figure out cycles on his own or not.]

stupidly: (someone left a punk here)

[personal profile] stupidly 2016-03-11 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[YOU CAUGHT HIM... He'll have to save his murder plans for next week now, since laundry always takes priority.]

It's fine. These things can be complicated to learn, especially when there are more pressing issues to focus on.

[Like not dying or being tempted into murder...

That said, he'll step back and wait for Faize to make his laundry attempt here!]
