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

[ Again, yes. Break misreads the tone here, and he thinks that Gilbert is making fun of him instead of being genuinely confused as to what Break means. His expression shifts to one of mild irritation, but it's only half serious. ]

Very funny. It wasn't like I intended for it to happen, thank you.

[stupidly]

[?!? WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN... Break could actually be referring to some other time he lost his contract with Mad Hatter, or-- maybe... it's just a weird Break... Break-ism??]

No one would intend for something like that to happen!

[Maybe he's just talking about the here and now, even. WHO KNOWS. Why is this a recurring problem to begin with...]

[crazily]

[ 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 ]

[stupidly]

—He isn't that reckless!

[That brief pause is very telling, though...]

[crazily]

[ That gets Break to laugh, at least. OH YOU, GILBERT. ]

Ha ha, that's what you'd like to think, at least~! That pause says it all.

[stupidly]

[HIS HEADACHE IS INCREASING EXPONENTIALLY!! He also has to resist the urge to flip bacon at Break because he knows his stupid anime blind ass will catch it anyway.]

I'm serious, Break! There's a limit to what even he would do.

["Even", ah, his confidence in Oz's lack of hooliganry is so inspiring.]

[crazily]

[ And in turn, Break just laughs like a hooligan... ]

Your faith is truly inspiring! But, well, I just can't agree. I can definitely see Oz purposely getting himself kidnapped~. Just with the right circumstances, you see.
