seven vices arrival

♫

saturday & sunday

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.

[ Hanyuu looks a little confused, but takes her plate of food with her and slowly floats down to ground level. It would be awfully rude to yell-talk to someone from all the way up there, obviously. ]

Mmm, the roof is not that bad, actually. Aside from the little icicles.

[This girl with a pair of horns is floating down to carry on their conversation, ah. WELL, OKAY. OKAY!! That's the kind of day today is going to be, huh.]

...You might be safer up there then, if that's the case. The roads are pretty slick.

[Says the person who probably found the one really icy patch to slip on.]

I will keep an eye out. But thank you for the warning.

[ especially when they've just met wow what a nice guy!!! ]

[THAT'S WHAT HE'S HERE FOR, delivering warnings that no sane person should probably need. She just gets a nod in response to the thanks, and then, after a brief pause:]

Did you just wake up here yesterday, too?

The same as everyone else, or so it seems, yes.

You also do not remember coming here?

[SHAKING HIS HEAD and looking pretty perplexed and agitated.]

I don't remember coming here. I don't even remember what I was doing before I woke up...

[The feeling of seeing something nauseating, of a quick escape - but in his line of work, that could mean anything.]

Mmmm...I felt very sick and very scared.

[ fiddling with her talisman ]

Speaking of that, it looks like trying to take these off is a bad idea.

Ah— I already know that. [BOY DOES HE.] ...So I guess that's the same for all of us too, then? The designs are the only thing that's different, I think.
