seven vices arrival





saturday & sunday

36 players remaining

You remember happening upon something awful and nauseating. What it was, precisely, is lost to you, but you have the instinctive feeling that by escaping from it, you've avoided something terrible.

When you open your eyes, you find yourself laying in bed in a dark, dusty room, facing a digital alarm clock. Its face, reading 12:01, is one of the only sources of light in the room. The other comes from the window, shadows flickering about. Opening the blinds will reveal that it is nighttime, and what looks to be a massive bonfire has been lit in the street at the front of the building.

A wooden talisman hangs around your neck, with one of seven symbols carved on the back. Attempting to take off the talisman will result in a wave of intense dread, and the all-too-familiar nausea. A brass key engraved with a unique room number lays on the bedside table beside the clock, as well.

But you won't get any answers just sitting in your room all night.


>Investigate?


This is an open mingle for arrival in the town. Waking up just after midnight on Saturday, characters will have the weekend to explore and socialize before the plot begins. The profiles and IC rulebooks (both the personal ones and the public one at the chapel) have not been revealed/given out yet. The kitchen will still 'prepare' breakfast on these days, and the bonfire will burn continuously into the daytime.

Per items: smaller items that a character could easily carry with them will be in their rooms. Animals and larger objects will either be waiting outside or in the hotel lobby.

[ Don't punch him, Inaba Himeko. Don't. Do. It. ]

Yes, yes, I get it. I'll just get out of your hair and not annoy you, since you clearly have no answers.

[ She'll miss you, comrade. ]

I'll try the next roof, then. It should hopefully be a little easier to reach.

[ The beginning of a beautiful friendship, ROOF SHENANIGANS AND PARKOUR FAILURES. ]

sorry he's a jerk

[He twitches his tail and licks his paw, turning away from her.]
princessantly: (I'm too appalled to look at you)

[personal profile] princessantly 2016-02-08 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
It could be a possibility... but there's no way to know for certain without searching more. That shadowy area... may have something to do with it.
sisumama: (5)

[personal profile] sisumama 2016-02-08 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That area...you shouldn't go near it, okay? It could be dangerous.

[And Sisuca is the mom, so that's that.]

In all my talks with the Wanderers, I've never heard of a place that just...ends.
crazily: (oreos are the answer to many a struggle)

[personal profile] crazily 2016-02-08 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Break opens his mouth to retort, but before he does, a thought occurs to him, and his expression softens slightly. It's more like a physical "ah" of realization, since even if he's confused too, he feels the need to point out one thing here. ]

...You know, I do believe Oz would, if anyone.

[ smh oz ]
crazily: (she had an equally spectacular ass)

[personal profile] crazily 2016-02-08 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
It certainly does~. Especially if you add powdered sugar as well. It's truly a delicacy with all of that!
princessantly: TOO SOON? (And that's when she ran into my spear)

[personal profile] princessantly 2016-02-08 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, manners already work wonders, and Alisha's just relieved that she believes her. She was just as genuinely lost here, so she slowly offers a smile and a bow of her own. ]

I understand completely. My name is Alisha Diphda, and I would be happy to cooperate with you, Lady Ichinomiya.
princessantly: (I see and then they consummate--)

[personal profile] princessantly 2016-02-08 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You seem to have a bit of a sweet tooth, Sir Break.

[ "A bit." ]
princessantly: (Wait but how do two boys--)

[personal profile] princessantly 2016-02-08 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
The... Wanderers? What are they?

[ The curiosity is strong in this one. ]
sisumama: (6)

[personal profile] sisumama 2016-02-08 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! You don't know who the Wanderers are? Well, I guess that's not impossible, but are you sure? They travel in caravans to peddle goods from other worlds?

[Maybe she just forgot?]
dhaosu: (> listening)

[personal profile] dhaosu 2016-02-08 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Dhaos' eyes flickered to the talisman that Ranulf pulled forth. It's possible what Ranulf says is true. ]

Then, I shall look into it, and hopefully something will come of it. That said, you mentioned it was chaotic energy and you had experienced something similar to it before. Were there any adverse effects in particular that differed from, or were in addition to, the ones given from the talisman we have now?

[ Because Dhaos believed if such an intense effect occurred from just trying to take it off, who is to say it couldn't be used to control them or make them lose it entirely? ]
dhaosu: (> is that so?)

[personal profile] dhaosu 2016-02-08 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He does a bow of his own. ]

Hopefully, I can live up to the expectations of someone who would undoubtedly be so reliable.
dhaosu: (> can i turn back time?)

[personal profile] dhaosu 2016-02-08 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
...Another myriad of possibilities.

[ He wouldn't be surprised if they were watching them somehow. Although how they would be he supposed could be varied as well. ]

I presume not too far, all in all. Presumably, they would need to access this place without too much hindrance. But, unfortunately most of what we have right now are ideas.
takanome: (Neat)

[personal profile] takanome 2016-02-08 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you sure those are the only two places?

[With the "muffler" resigned to a semistable place, Takao leans back against the counter, his elbows smearing clearings through the dust.]

On the ground floor, none of these seem to be guest rooms. Maybe there's a lost and found office. [He looks attentive for a reaction to clue in about what exactly the missing thing is, anyway.]

[ rhys is just going to respond super gracefully but yelling out a little ahhh and swatting at the sleeves. ]

Elders? You're not... are you old? You don't look... old.

[ wait ]

Also, that was a mistake anyone could have made.

[ YEAH, GIL. RHYS IS NOWHERE NEAR AS BAD AS BREAK. so!!!

but oh right. the pendant. rhys just glances down at it with a frown before stopping and holding it out for gilbert to take a look. have a nice little greed symbol there, gil. ]


Do you know what they mean? I tried to take mine off earlier but it made me kind of... sick? Which I have a feeling that's kind of the point.

( Urashima's idea is better, Gilbert. Worst case scenario: They're hideously bored for an undefined and vague amount of time until someone saves them. )

Mhmm. ( Nodding, ) They're my brothers.

( And you'd think something like this would get a little brother down but all he does is grin, )

If they aren't here then they'll come rescue us soon, you'll see!

( Why are you bowing to him don't bow he's just a humble sword spirit?? Weh, you're flattering him and now he's all flustered. )

I-I hope I can too...!

( Not just any turtle but a lucky spirit turtle! A legendary spirit turtle! And Urashima doesn't seem to think there's anything weird about it but he begins to stammer as Cheshire wanders off, )

Hey, hey! ( STAYING CLOSE STILL?? FOLLOWING AFTER HIM??? COME HERE, KITTY-SAN, DON'T GO AWAY... ) We're supposed to help each other!
