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. cast setting

Yeah, I'm Japanese. Where's Eldar, though? I've never heard of it.

[You've got to try harder than that to deflect him, Faize.]

[symbologic]

[Ugh.]

And I have never heard of Japan. I'm not sure the locations of our homes matter much with regards to our current situation, however. Would you not agree that it is more important to figure out where this place is?

[hopefragment]

No, I wouldn't be so sure about that... I mean, someone must have brought us here, right? So whoever that is has to be someone with, I don't know, enough resources to gather up a whole group of people from all over the world. Like a huge organization.

[DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT IDEA ALL BY YOURSELF, HINATA.]

But... yeah, you're right about finding out where we are. It's gotta be in the middle of nowhere, though, I mean... look at this place.

[The technology is so old?? And you don't look like you match it at all.]

[symbologic]

Mmm...

[Oh you. It's cute how you think you get it, but really your view of the issue is so very, very limited. "All over the world", huh? Cute.]

[It'll get even more cute once they've become acquainted with the full cast. An alien isn't even the weirdest shit going down in this little town.]

It must be, yes. I only looked briefly out of my window but...it seems to be a fairly desolate little town.

[This technology is BEYOND old, as far as he's concerned. This is like. Ancient... He didn't even recognize the TV for what it is.]

[hopefragment]

[Listen, he has a very narrow frame of reference, he's doing the best he can.]

Yeah... I'm going to look around some more. There's got to be some kind of information as to what's going on here.

Oh, sorry, I haven't introduced myself, have I? I'm Hinata, Hinata Hajime.

[symbologic]

[Keep trying, you shining star.]

My name is Faize Sheifa Beleth. [He places a fist over his shoulder and inclines his head.] A pleasure.

I'm going to have a look around more of this building before I head outside. Assuming you do not manage to find a way out of here, I am sure we will run into each other again.
