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

...what do you think you're a jinx or something?

[dhaosu]

It is nice having you around... you are a good person. Do not let what anyone says convince you otherwise--although I am sure you would not.

[ He holds up the ring. He knows she's not perfect or anything, but thinking about it, even light-hearted times like these were good, and he figured it needed to be said at one point. She's still a good friend. ]

....Although, sometimes some of what you do baffles me, your token is appreciated. I shall try to at least give something to you in return.

[ And that is all, before he turns to leave again. ]

[sobowtor]

[Poland's just going to casually whisper

I VOLUNTEER BELARUS FOR EXECUTION

into the television.




Please hear her plea.]

[friendboned]

[Papyrus gasps out loud when he catches sight of a kid, looking unimpressed.]

[Papyrus, on the other hand, doesn't look upset, but.... EXCITED?! He's, uh, cheering]

HUMAN!! I KNEW YOU'D TURN UP HERE! YOU'VE EVEN GOTTEN YOURSELF KIDNAPPED TO BE CLOSER TO ME.......

Y-YOUR FEELINGS FOR ME.... THEY'RE TOO MUCH!!!

[thebonezone]

[STOP BEING SO COOL, IT IS GIVING SANS AN ULCER AND HE HAS NOTHING TO GET AN ULCER FROM!!!]

i think they gave it to you to celebrate how cool you are, bro.

[okuri]

It's not that I think it, it's a fact.

[hopefragment]

[She doesn't have to look crazy strong all the time to be strong, though. Let him pet, it makes him feel better, too.]

...

[He's quiet as she speaks, though, fingers curling gently in her hair as he looks up to the screen, trying not to look at his own blonde hostage and instead focus on Roxy's.]

Do you think she'd want you to... kill someone else instead of trusting her to fight back on her own, though...?

[He really doesn't know much about Rose, but... well, for something like this, he can't be sure about Roxy, either. Maybe he's making a mistake asking that, but... too late, he's already said it.]

[sobowtor]

Okay well.

Then I'm the perfect person to be nice to you!

[okuri]

...why?

[sobowtor]

Well Gilbert knows, but.

[Poland waves her hands dismissively.]

Whatever.

[lastgirl]

...Will you be ok Hanyuu?

all week

[lastgirl]

...What's marriage?

[dhaosu]

I see... so he is like that.

[ He folds his arms. ]

Then, if he has, I'm sure he can handle it. He shall be fine, at the very least.

[sobowtor]

Because bad stuff happens to me literally all the time!

But I get over it. Always. It's my special skill.

So whatever bad stuff you think you'd cause for me, it doesn't matter!

[lastgirl]

[Buddy notices Clover running out, but doesn't follow. However, after a couple hours, she will try to look around for Clover throughout the town.]

[billarious]

[Sorry Poland...this seems to be completely lost on him. He is pretty sure he's never been yours?]

I...still don't understand.

[muties]

[ Rolls over on the floor. Not really since presumably either before or after Roxy's floortime, but. Vague timey-wimey handgestures. ]

We wouldn't be involved in this game if it weren't for them, either.

[ Pause... looks to see what kind of person Hinata's hostage is. Is it the ex-boyfriend from that other motive? Oh, nope it's a pretty girl. Ok, ok, ok. ] Oh, she's cute. I'd give her a hot.

[ #helpfulgirlfriend ]

[mothercat]

[ And agrees with it!! Doesn't think it will work but there's always the delusional hope that, hey, maybe. ]

No, but it never hurts to have a symbol of it. [ Which means he has to give Poland something in return. He'll have to think of what. In the meantime, he puts his hand on his hip thoughtfully. ] And I'm all for friendship symbols. Marriage on the other hand...

Let's just say there's two people back home who would be upset with me if I got married behind their backs. [ His headache intensifies picturing how they'd react. ]

[sobowtor]

[Yes Buddy.

Even you with your retired status you are not immune from Poland's wedding ring for you.]

Marriage is a union between spouses that establishes rights and obligations between them.

So I'm obligated to you now!

[herbgrace]

How are you ever going to pay attention to all of them? [It's remarkable how good she is at remaining straight-faced about this.]

[okuri]

[Nods.]

I just wish he wasn't in this situation because of me.

[lastgirl]

...

No thanks. I don't want to owe you anything.

[mothercat]

[ He turns away from the monitor and looks at Poland

Not gonna judge but, damn

damn girl ]

[hopefragment]

[Vague timey-wimey handgestures are go!

And unfortunately it's not Komaeda, because Hinata would definitely be pulling a Poland and suggesting to the monitors that hey, wouldn't it be for the best to just kill that guy and let everyone else go.]

I know, but... isn't it enough that we're here already? Why did they have to...

[He just lets out a noise of helpless frustration. Sorry, hot blonde princess, but he can't kill anyone to save you... probably.]

She's... her name is Sonia Nevermind, the Super High School Level Princess. [Because "Nevermind" is such a normal name for a royal family, okay. #DanganRonpa] She's... actual royalty from Novoselic, a small European country.

[sobowtor]

I'm marrying you.

You don't owe me anything.

[Although if you looked at me during and got me gifts on Valentine's I wouldn't complain.]
