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

What?

[He mimics her for a moment with his own booklet before he realizes what she's looking for and stops immediately.]

N-no, not... not actual holes, I meant missing information. Is there any information missing from yours?

[princessantly]

Not from my profile, no, although I can't say I'm too pleased with it. What was lacking in yours?

[ She hasn't looked through completely yet. ]

[hopefragment]

Well... mine just left out anything having to do with my talent. The question marks are almost more insulting than just saying I have no skills at all.

[Ugh he's so irritated about this. He is going to flip through the booklet until he finds hers and skim it quickly, only to find-]

W-wait, what aren't you pleased about?

[A PRINCESS?? This makes two princesses he's met now, which is two more than he'd ever thought he'd meet.]

[princessantly]

Your talent is unkno-- [ And then she blinks rapidly... and just slowly turns vaguely pink, glancing off to the side. ]

I hadn't really wanted my title to change anyone's opinions of me...
