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

( He honestly didn't even consider that because Urashima automatically assumes the best in people? Even the worst? A person can kidnap them, strip their powers away, take away turtles, and leave them in a cold village but oh no they'd never ever tell secrets! )

Isn't this enough? ( Isn't it? It can't get worse? He's an optimistic sword?! ) Why would they try to mess with us?!

I haven't done anything wrong...!

[This place is full of suckers wow. From nerds to guys who are just too nice for their own good! He's marking this one down for "use later".]

Some people are just like that I guess. Maybe you're just too nice and they don't like that. Or maybe you did somethin' when you were young that you don't remember, and they're gettin' their revenge. Maybe this is just how they get their kicks!

Can't know why'd they want to until we meet 'em though.

( Literally naive and innocent sword spirit, ugh. A sheltered spirit.

He's quiet for a solid second, considering these options. Maybe he did something wrong when he was young? But he's literally just been on display or decoratively by someone's side his entire life. He's never even killed a person? Evil spirits, yeah, but... they're evil spirits! Is this a retrograding army trick, though? Is this how they get their swords? Is this where swords go when they're captured by the enemy? But the only other sword here is Mikazuki-- )

Aaaaugh! ( Running frustrated hands through his hair and screaming, frustrated, ) This doesn't make any sense!

( And then a pause. Like, he's literally calmed down in a half second. HE'S A SUPER REACTIVE SPIRIT, )

... What do you think they're going to be like? Do you think it's the same person who was on the teevee?
