[vicedirector]

seven vices introduction ♫ monday At promptly 9AM Monday morning, every television in the hotel turns on. For a moment, static blares loud enough to wake anyone still sleeping, but it quickly fades out into a patternless gray image. After a few seconds of silence, a woman begins speaking. "Good morning. Thank you for waiting so patiently the past two days." Her voice is soft and easy on the ears, albeit a little flat and monotone. "If you would please gather in the chapel within the next half hour, we will be happy to provide you with answers pertaining to the current situation." Anyone not in their rooms will hear the voice echoing throughout the town as if via speaker system, though there are no actual speakers visible. Those who purposefully dawdle and delay going to the chapel will be subjected to their alarm clocks going off until they get up and leave. Upon entering the chapel, everyone will find that candles have been lit, and a small table with various pastries, simple sandwiches, and juices has been set up in front of the altar. More importantly, though, are the 36 booklets placed on the pews. Curiously, they contain photos and profiles of everyone in the town--some with startling details. There are also a few blank pages near the end. After the last person enters, the doors lock. The chapel is tiny, and very much cramped with 36 people inside, though the pews are still numerous enough to accommodate everyone--just barely. But you may as well get comfy, because it won't be another half-hour until someone shows up. >Mingle? This is another open mingle for the beginning of the plot. NPC interaction will come later in the day. setting profiles

[brawlhalla]

So we have the same thing...it's probably connected to having the same pendant, too, then.

[ ANNOYING... ]

I guess it's better than the other options. Well, Wrath might not be so bad.

[keepshispride]

Is that's the pattern... [Looks at the symbol on his pendant.] If it's just "Pride" in a foreign language, it's not one I recognise.

Sloth and Envy seem like the most insulting. [Gluttony as well, kind of, but he'd mostly just side eye anyone who called him lustful.] It looks as though they're trying to point out our weaknesses... For those of us who have any.

[Obviously, he doesn't.]

[brawlhalla]

[ ah...of course one of the people astrid has filed under "competent, potential ally" is a complete jackass. Astrid, why. ]

It seems to be the option that makes the most sense. As much as this makes any sense at all...maybe that lady's right, and it's some sort of team competition?

[ IF SO, HER TEAM WILL CLEARLY WIN. ]

[keepshispride]

I have no intention of playing along with some game of someone else's design. They can't just bring me- bring any of us- here and expect us to do as they say.

[Seriously, pride is right there on their profiles. Right there!!]

I'm no one's play thing!

[brawlhalla]

You won't get any complaint from me. I'd much rather we just beat up whoever took us here, and then leave.

[ TBH...but she is pretty competitive so she can't turn down a competition ]

[keepshispride]

[tbf if Goku were on Team Gluttony he would be totally on board gotta win]

And that's exactly what I'm planning to do.

[brawlhalla]

Well...be sure to let me get a punch or two in.

[ SHE WANTS TO MAKE THEM PAY. ]

[keepshispride]

Heh. If you want to vent some frustration before I obliterate them, be my guest. Perhaps we can feed whatever's left to your friend there.

[Hi, Stormfly.]

[brawlhalla]

[ She's already vented some frustration, thankfully. ]

She doesn't eat people. She eats fish, and chicken, and pork...

[keepshispride]

I haven't tried human, but it probably doesn't taste that different than pork. Most carnivores aren't that picky anyway.

[Vegeta, don't feed people to someone else's dragon.]

[brawlhalla]

I'm not feeding her people!

[ GOOD LORD ]

She deserves better than whoever would set this sort of thing up, anyway.

[keepshispride]

[Wow, and here he was trying to be nice!]

Fine, then I'll just turn them to ash!

[Unless they immediately give him back his powers and apologise and send him home, in which case he might forgive them and let them off with several broken bones and a destroyed town.]

[brawlhalla]

[ LMAO...VEGETA...is astrid one of his favorites so far or something ]

Now that I can get behind. They don't deserve proper funeral rites.

[keepshispride]

[As much as he can have favourites, sure... He might be slightly annoyed if she's murdered tomorrow, even.]

Hn. So it's settled.

[brawlhalla]

[ how touching!!! ]

Sounds like it. Now we just have to wait for the "Overseer" to show up.

[keepshispride]

Hn. [Eyes flick around the room as he surveys everyone's faces.] "Miata Jansone".

[brawlhalla]

Yep. Of course, we're not sure if she's in charge, or if she's just a middleman.
