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

What?

[THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF HER LIFE.]

...No, someone must be lying. It's just a matter of figuring out who.

[She's...smiling??? Finally, a mystery that doesn't involve people dying.]

[fourleafcleaver]

[wh...y is she smiling this is getting weird......]

No, it is an acronym. It just isn't one for four words.

[STILL SUPER SMUG THO]

[unpleasantries]

[She's gonna TRASH this human in a battle of wits. (Spoilers: she won't.)]

If it's not a four word acronym, why does it have four letters?

[EQUALLY AS SMUG. Boy is it gonna hurt when she finds out she's wrong. If she ever does.]

[fourleafcleaver]

I dunno, because language is weird? [Another dramatic shrug!! She isn't even bothered, fight her you weird space alien.]

[unpleasantries]

[Rude, Kaguya was the alien]

Is that the best you can come up with? Language isn't always straightforward, but when it is "weird", there's a reason for it. What's the reason for the number of letters not matching the number of words?

[fourleafcleaver]

Well, I could tell you why...

[...trails off. end sentence.

but you didn't say please]

[unpleasantries]

...

[When Clover trails off, Satori does it. She breaks out her extremely jaded Psych 101 skills, honed from years of interpreting the worst of the thoughts she's read.]

Avoiding the subject means you're uncertain, which means as far as arguments go, I win.

[fourleafcleaver]

[She throws her hands up and oh no, she's grinning.]

If that makes you feel better, I guess, but it doesn't change that only one of us here knows what DILF means.

[unpleasantries]

[INTERNALLY SCREAMING]

Why is it such a hardship for any of you to define a word?

[fourleafcleaver]

[She isn't doing air quotes so much as she's waving her hands around in the air next to her face. Air parentheticals.] I dunno, why is it such a hardship for you to say a word? Like, "please."

[She doesn't even care?? She just wants to give Satori a hard time. Why, Clover.]
