week 7

[vicedirector]

seven vices week 7 24 players remaining ♫ monday - thursday Monday morning begins just like the rest, slow and uneasy. At 12pm, every television will go off with its usual bout of static, followed by Katerina's calm, albeit disinterested, voice. "Please gather in the hotel lobby within the next hour." That's all that it says before the televisions turn off. Anyone not in their rooms will hear the voice echoing around them as if through a speaker system, although there are (still) no speakers present. After hearing the motive, characters who choose to explore will find that the void around the town has retracted a bit, and there is now a park and playground next to the clinic. >Mingle? This is Week 7's mingle log, covering Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. Investigations will go up on Friday. When posting toplevels, specify the time and location. If you plan on having any private conversations between characters, remember to let us know in the post linked below. More plot elements will be introduced this week. Mod comments will be occasionally distributed to open toplevels, accordingly. cast setting rulebook profiles private conversations

[ Alisha instantly puts her feet down to slow herself, clearing her throat. ]

Well, it's... oddly peaceful, at the moment...

[dhaosu]

[ There was a flicker of amusement, there, but all the same he looks as serious as he usually does. ]

There is no harm in it. We do have quite a few days until something occurs, I suppose.

[princessantly]

I don't like thinking that we'll lose someone else in a matter of a few days... and yet, every time, we're unable to prevent it.

[dhaosu]

... Mm.

[ .... ]

Even moreso, it is hard to believe it will only stop when there are seven of us. Of those who remain, not many would be inclined towards the idea of killing someone.

[ He can only see it when it's forced, but otherwise, it'd be difficult to see it. But, he always supposed there could be another one like Vegeta, albeit latent. ]

[princessantly]

I suppose that's where the motive comes into play... preying on people's weaknesses is truly unforgivable.

[ Not that she'll cave this week, either. ]

[dhaosu]

[ Being emotionally manipulated into killing is always fun. ]

It shall certainly be more difficult to tell who will be more susceptible as time goes on, until it is too late it seems.

That said, it is a pity not even having someone nearby another at all times or on Thursday can prevent this.

[ Still, giving into that? It was still not an option. ]

[princessantly]

I suppose all one can really do is stay cautious, and not go anywhere alone during that time...

[dhaosu]

... Lady Alisha?

[princessantly]

-- Ah, yes?

[dhaosu]

What will you do, when you return home?

[princessantly]

... Continue trying to put an end to the war.

[ The most important thing. ]

[dhaosu]

I remember, when we first met, you had informed myself that you were involved in a war. I can only wish for your success, then.

[ Everything seems to always encircle back to war or conflict-- including this place. He finds it a bit ironic. ]

[princessantly]

Thank you... and what do you intend to do, Lord Dhaos?

[dhaosu]

... Save my people.

[ Even if things hadn't panned out the way he planned, he was determined to find a way. ]

[princessantly]

I also wish you the best... if I were able to lend my aid, I'd happily do so.

[ That's important stuff. ]
