week 0 - 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. setting |

... Kinda straight to the point, huh? Okay.
[ rhys just sort of clears his throat then and stands up straight, leaning in the doorframe a little instead of using it as a shield. he is the picture of confidence! probably. ]
I aaaam Rhys. Kind of new, never really been kidnapped alone before or without some kind of, uh, threat. Immediate threat. Not reaaaally sure what to do here but you know, taking my time. Figuring it out. Doing the... do.
[ a pause. ]
What about you, uh -- [ #whatwouldhandsomejackdo ] Sweetheart?
no subject
Nope.
No.
Immediately, Selena is reaching out to grab him by his collar. Gently.
To drag him closer.
Oh so gently.]
That is Dame Selena, to you. Do not call me that again, if you please.
no subject
Isn't... isn't dame more offensive? Like, "what a dame" -- that kind of thing? Are you sure you want to be called dame?
no subject
It is the female equivalent of a knighthood. Are you truly this poorly educated?
I am Dame Selena, General of Grado and knight. Do not patronize me.
no subject
Hey, that's rude. I'm not poorly educated. I have degrees. In things.
[ anyway. ]
Fancy. I'm... Rhys. [ . . . ] Of Hyperion. Engineering. [ wait no he can lie, shit -- ] Vice President. Of Engineering.

Very little of that means anything to her, honestly.]
I...see.
[...]
Carry yourself with a bearing more befitting of your station, then, Vice President.
[Stop screaming like a ninny]
no subject
Ohhh, please don't call me that. Just -- just go with Rhys. Please? Yeah.
[ so much regret. pushing himself up from the ground now, ow. ]
no subject
... And you may continue to call me Dame Selena.
[so there's that.
Keep your distance, weirdo.]
no subject
[ there's a moment there where he just, frowns a little because that sounds dumb before right. okay. getting up from the floor. ]
You gonna leave now?
[ this feels like the moment people usually abandon him so ]
no subject
[SPOT ON, RHYS.
which is why with that she's just...walking away....
