week 8

[vicedirector]

seven vices week 8 21 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 boathouse and lake up North Anyone looking for them will also find that Alisha's spear and Sadie's earmuffs are now gone. >Mingle? This is Week 8'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

We're already friends we don't need a ring for that. [We do need a ring for marriage tho.]

But. Yeah, something like that. [Ranulf gets it!]

[hopefragment]

Roxy...

[Okay, for all the friendly shoulder-headbutts and hugs he's willing to do in public, he's not that much into physical affection where other people can see. So it's not much, but he does gently reach to brush his fingers through her hair. This... will help, right? (no, not even)]

It'll... it'll be okay. I mean... look at her. [She looks really intimidating??] She looks just as strong as you, there's... there's no way they'd be able to hurt her that easily.

[sobowtor]

You don't have to like the people you marry.

[She married Rhys on Monday and she can't stand his stupid robotic face.]

[sobowtor]

I don't want to hear it! La la la!

La la!

Laaaaa!

[Shut up about Belarus shut up shut up!]

[herbgrace]

Why do you always do this when Belarus comes up? [What could have possibly motivated this reaction?]

[hopefragment]

What?!

[It doesn't take long for Hinata to spot his hostage, and total shock freezes his expression for a long moment. First of all, he wouldn't consider his hostage a loved one, just someone he... really admires. But...

He swallows hard as his hands clench into fists at his sides, trying his very best to keep it together. After all, the blonde girl he has his eyes on certainly seems to be keeping her composure in a way that seems almost royal. Maybe it's an act? It's hard to say with the screen how it is, but...]

...T-this is...

[Those clenched fists are shaking now as he scowls at the screen, shaking his head helplessly.]

They're... they're threatening people who aren't even involved in this sick game!

[friendboned]

[either he's gone out looking for her or he's randomly yelling to no one... or both]

MIATA!!! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE COME TO CORRECT A MISTAKE.

I... AM JUST FAR TOO COOL TO BE IMMUNE!!! MY HANDSOME LOOKS AND BULGING BICEPS WILL PROTECT ME! A FUTURE ROYAL GUARDSMAN AS MYSELF DOESN'T NEED IMMUNITY! PLEASE GIVE IT TO SOMEONE SLIGHTLY LESS COOL THAN ME.

NYEH HEH HEH HEH!!

[okuri]

Then what's the point?

all week

[herbgrace]

[Lithuania has been watching these marriage proceedings with some amusement, though it would be difficult to tell judging by her face.] You'd better hope Austria never finds out about this. [She'll think Poland's started copying her.]

[sobowtor]

I told you!

It's my commitment to you! I'm going to make sure you're taken care of no matter what.

[mothercat]

[ HE KNOWS THE DRILL. This isn't his first time being used as a joke gift for a marriage proposal.

Which... isn't great? But he can see Poland has good intentions, which is motivation enough for him to turn into a cat and run back with her. After the ring is presented to Astrid, he holds up a paw and kind of bats at the air in celebration. ]

[okuri]

I- Please don't be nice to me.

[sobowtor]

[Poland immediately pulls a face.]

Don't ruin my totally pure and noble intentions by bringing up her.

[herbgrace]

[Heh.] Is it going well so far?

[sobowtor]

Apparently less people want to marry me than I anticipated.

[She only planned for one.]

Not that it matters.

[dhaosu]

[ No that just makes him halt, because that embarrasses him again. Still, despite it all, he does think he wishes to say something, and turns to face her again. ]

...Poland?

[sobowtor]

How come?

[herbgrace]

You probably should have anticipated that.

[sobowtor]

It's still irrelevant!

[sobowtor]

But if she's dead I can't stick my tongue out at her and win through the sheer superiority of my BEEEEEEEEH~!

[sobowtor]

[Yes my bride?]

Hmm?

[muties]

[ It does help, because Roxy is truly a sucker for affection. ]

I know... [ Endless sighing. "Looks just as strong as you" Hinata, she is literally laying on the floor letting you pet her, does this seem like a strong girl to you. ] She's stronger, trust. But, sometimes strength don't mean fuck all. Some assholes are just too over-powered.

[ Vividly remembering Rose being skewered with a trident, ahhhhh what funnnn ]

[okuri]

Because it never turns out well. [ Immediately he thinks of Charlotte and Takao.]

[herbgrace]

Have you mentioned that they have to share you with the Baltic Sea yet?

[sobowtor]

I dunno.

Maybe because he's a physically and emotionally abusive asshole who has a hard on for his sister who is also physically and emotionally abusive and has terrorized the two of us for centuries?
