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

It's a bit disorienting, isn't it? I tried walking through there earlier.

[ take a stroll into the void of darkness nbd ]

[muties]

For real. It's like it's been... I don't know, cut out of a map and doesn't got anything connected.

[ a perfectly normal reaction to voids of darkness ]

[aumygoddess]

I thought maybe the nighttime darkness was playing tricks on my eyes, but even in the daytime...

[ she looks at the void again, a little agitated ]

We aren't supposed to leave this town, but why?

[muties]

That's the question, ain't it? I'd like to be the optimist and think it's for a good reason, but I can't think of one.

[ peoplenapping to tiny deserted villages they can't leave doesn't scream good things lbr ]

But I can't really think of a reason if it's a bad one, either. Shitty reality tv? Shitty social experiment?

[aumygoddess]

That doesn't really explain the void, though, does it...is it magic of some kind?

[ she waves her hand through the darkness. still nothing but black air. ]

[muties]

I guess so? I mean, really anything unexplainable is technically magic. But this is like, hella magic. Someone would have to have mad skills to do this, I'm pretty sure. Assuming someone did it, 'course.

[ it's kind of irritating for roxy. her aspect is void, this almost looks like the void, but she's got nothing. ]

Either there's nothing out there or someone doesn't want us to know what's out there.
