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

[ She understands things being bothersome. This whole situation, to her is one of those things. ]

It's not too much of a big deal. [ At least, she thinks so?? ]

But if he's small, it might be hard to find... But let's try nevertheless.

( Even if Kamekichi is small, that won't stop Urashima from trying to find her. )

I was going.... to check by the fire...

( Because it's a warm place and well, maybe it would remind Kamekichi of the forge they came from. )

... What's your name?

[dereban]

You can go check there, then. I'll go ahead and check elsewhere. That's alright, isn't it?

[ She tries to straighten herself out ever so slightly before answering the second question. ]

Nagase Iori. [ Without even a hint of hesitation or a shift in her expression to indicate that she's lying. ] You?

[minogame]

Urashima. ( Like the story with the turtles? Yeah, like the story. ) Urashima Kotetsu.

I'll meet you back here when I'm finished! And... if you need help or anything call me, okay?

[dereban]

That's a nice name. [ She smiles a little before deciding to go ahead and investigate. ]

I'll see you later, then.

[minogame]

( And they split up! At one point, he thinks he finds Kamekichi but it's just a patch of dead leaves near the fire. It's hard to believe but... he doesn't think Kamekichi is here. )

.... Any luck?
