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.

A-ah-- It's alright, really. [Lithuania is embarrassed; she's not good at this sort of thing.] I'm not all that special.
fluorospar: (⁂ i'll bolting your ass)

[personal profile] fluorospar 2016-02-09 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[... okay but. Your pants.]

Are you certain you do not want to obtain warmer clothing first?

[ARE YOU SURE...]

Searching for answers will be much more irritating with a cold.
detanimetion: (considering)

[WHAT DO YOU MEAN STORMFLY CAN'T TALK, she's standing right there gosh!!]

The ruins underground! I know most of the monsters in the other areas, so I figured that anyone I don't recognize is probably from there. [And then to the dragon again, unsurely:] Uh...Stormfly, you okay with this lady speaking for you? [She's not completely sure whether the girl's human or not, but she looks a lot more like one than she does a monster.]
brawlhalla: (HUH ► that sure is a thing.)

[personal profile] brawlhalla 2016-02-09 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ The dragons purrs a little like a cat and butts her head against Astrid. That's...THAT'S ABOUT ALL THE RESPONSE SHE GETS... ]

Um...dragons don't talk? [ JUST. PUTTING THAT OUT THERE. ] We've been partners for three years, though. We both understand one another well enough.
fluorospar: (⁂ my pants give me strength)

[personal profile] fluorospar 2016-02-09 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
...Well. I do not like to believe that I am an easily coerced person, so I do hope that comes back to bite them in the end. And you?
fluorospar: (⁂ the emperor is talking crazy again)

[personal profile] fluorospar 2016-02-09 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
...Yes?

[... Is that a weird saying here.]

You know--of the monstrous, winged variety?
fluorospar: (⁂ my pants give me strength)

[personal profile] fluorospar 2016-02-09 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[... uh huh........... she just looks thoroughly skeptical here.]

... And you may continue to call me Dame Selena.

[so there's that.

Keep your distance, weirdo.]

[Works fine for the cat-boy.] Let me know if you see a girl with white hair.

S-Stormfly?

[ What on Earth is it..? ]

I've never seen anything like that before...
fourleafcleaver: (teenagers scare the living shit outta me)

[personal profile] fourleafcleaver 2016-02-09 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[so, to recap: a couple of terrible metaphorical children yell at each other for yelling, and then about having no friends while neither of them have had absolutely anybody come to deal with the situation]

LOOK, JACKASS— [and okay what if she just tries yanking his door open, even if only for the intimidation aspect]]
brawlhalla: (GLANCE ► back. drawn.)

[personal profile] brawlhalla 2016-02-09 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. Let me know if you see a guy with a peg leg.
fluorospar: (⁂ i'll bolting your ass)

[personal profile] fluorospar 2016-02-09 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
I wish I did.

[SHE'D HAVE A STERN TALKING-TO FOR THEM. Or maybe just a fire spell, you never know.]

Unfortunately, I am as clueless as anyone here appears to be. If I learn anything, you will be the first to know, Buddy.
brawlhalla: (Default)

[personal profile] brawlhalla 2016-02-09 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
She's a Deadly Nadder. You've never seen this species?

[ OBVIOUSLY SHE HAS SEEN DRAGONS BEFORE ]

[Cheshire nods to her and turns to go about his way.]
unpleasantries: (Failing again; failing again)

[personal profile] unpleasantries 2016-02-09 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[FRESH AIR IS FOR SQUARES]

I wouldn't say that one can only wonder how. One can also wonder who, why, where...

[semantics: the real touhou experience]
fluorospar: (⁂ helps orphans murders people)

[personal profile] fluorospar 2016-02-09 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[GILBERT.........

And, gently:]


Perhaps we can inform anyone we come across that the kitchen is stocked with freshly made food...so it does not go to waste?
fourleafcleaver: (just because you're twice the size of me)

[personal profile] fourleafcleaver 2016-02-09 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[PANTS ARE FOR QUITTERS]

Whatever. I'm not about to deal with mysterious kidnapper town hotel clothes. Who knows where those came from?

[Also, they're hideous.]
unpleasantries: (The bougainvilleas bloomed)

[personal profile] unpleasantries 2016-02-09 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[That's a nice offer and all, but Satori is going to prioritize the animal over the human 100% of the time, so she's already more interested in the dragon.]

What kind of animal is this? Its tail is beautiful.

[When the spear is tossed at her she drops her stick in favor of grabbing the spear. She's never used one before, but it shouldn't be too hard. She gives it a couple test swings in the air, getting a feel for the length, and then charges at Undyne.]
fluorospar: (⁂ protects random villagers)

[personal profile] fluorospar 2016-02-09 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Not quite.

[It's not a bad guess, though.]

Rather, it would be more accurate to call it natural magic--magic dealing with the forces of nature. Wind, ice, fire, lightning... such things fall under its domain.
fluorospar: (⁂ time to shank a bitch)

[personal profile] fluorospar 2016-02-09 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh... what a cute puppy??? It makes her want to pat him on the head. Though she refrains.

Barely.]


Thank you. That is very kind of you.

I have never heard of a name quite like yours before either; you must come from a very different place than me.
fluorospar: (⁂ my pants give me strength)

[personal profile] fluorospar 2016-02-09 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Aaaand into the darkness she strides, with firm steps if nothing else--until, of course, she ends up right back where she started.

That was productive.]


How...strange.
brawlhalla: (CHAT ► sweetly.)

[personal profile] brawlhalla 2016-02-09 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
She's a Deadly Nadder.

[ Astrid is perfectly fine with this turn of events! As is Stormfly, who is a vain little shit. She loves being admired. ]
brawlhalla: (WARY ► who goes there?)

[personal profile] brawlhalla 2016-02-09 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. You...can use that sort of thing?

[ THAT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE? ]

S-species of what, may I ask?!
