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

Yeah.

[His expression is awfully serious now as he drops the pendant, instead bringing his hand to his chin.]

I've got a really bad feeling about this. It's like we're being split into teams for... some reason.

[brawlhalla]

...Don't worry so much. There are only really two teams that matter, right? All of us, and whoever the Hel brought us here.

[ SO... ]

[hopefragment]

..Yeah. Assuming it's possible to fight them. To gather up a group of people with all these crazy skills and... other stuff-- [DRAGON] It's got to be a huge group of really powerful people, right?

[brawlhalla]

It's stupid to give up just because something seems impossible or crazy. Hel, I wouldn't have Stormfly if we did that.

[ CRAZY STUPID IMPOSSIBLE IDEAS ARE HER JAM, that's why she's friends with hiccup. ]

[hopefragment]

...How... did you get a dragon, anyway?

[Like it clearly fits your theme here, but come on... dragons aren't real...]

[brawlhalla]

[ do you want to go argue with stormfly about how real she is or isn't, hinata ]

There are dragons all over the place back home. Stormfly and I became friends when we took down the queen of her hive - and we've been together ever since.

[hopefragment]

[He'll conduct a thought experiment as to her reality later, maybe.]

R-right... a dragon queen.

[He's starting to feel a little faint again.]

That's... really impressive.

[brawlhalla]

[ that's not even the tip of astrid's viking iceberg, hinata...don't faint yet. ]

Of course it is. I'm a viking. That's what we do.

[hopefragment]

[He might just zone out and miss everything... where's his helpful assistant Komaeda.]

R-right... those guys from Europe with the horned helmets, right? I just... didn't think dragons were real.

[But here's his proof, right here.]

Sorry, this is... all really weird for me.
