week 4

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

But anyone can do that. ( Eat and drink and sleep... any person can do that. ) You look out for me so I want to do something special.

( And a beat, )

Just like in the stories!

[stupidly]

Just like— in what stories? And you really don't need to do anything...

[What?! What?? Ah, but he's a weak bean at heart and he can't stand up against Urashima's shonen sparkling.]

[minogame]

When Urashima Taro saved the tiny turtle, her father thanked him by giving him lots of treasure and letting him marry his daughter who was actually a beautiful princess. ( What kind of weirdo story is he talking about, right, Gilbert? ) And when the hunter saved the crane from the trap, she made him and his wife beautiful cloth to sell for money.

( He can keep prattling story summaries off if Gilbert doesn't get the hint... )

And you know... it's the same for sword spirits too. If you take care of a sword, it'll take care of you too so I wanna do something special for you. Ah... maybe that can be the beginning of my story, heh heh.

( Since there aren't any famous stories about sword spirits. Famous swords, yes. Spirits? No. )

[He gets it, he gets the hint!! And he looks appropriately flustered because what the heck, that's too cute... Too cute! Too pure! When will someone stop Urashima.]

Uh— [What an elegant start.

But really, he doesn't know what to say?! He doesn't want to burden Urashima, but when he phrases it like that, it almost sounds like he'd be the one during Urashima a favor instead?!]

...I— Well. ...I guess if you don't mind, then it's fine. But I still can't think of anything.

[minogame]

That's okay... but if you think of anything, you have to ask, got it?!

( Let him show his gratitude like a good spirit. ) I'll keep thinking of a way too!

[stupidly]

You're really enthusiastic about this...

[Should he feel guilty?? Appreciative?! He's not even sure what he's doing anymore, honestly.]

But— thank you? ...You should eat your dinner before it gets cold, though.
