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?

[ there is a woman on that screen and she is definitely one of the ones who looks defiant. her hat is askew, her eyes are angry, and her right hand twitches as if she's waiting for just the right moment. when rhys sees her, he goes pale.

it's fiona. of course it's fiona. she shifts in her seat, jerks in her bonds and in almost slow motion, her hat falls off her head and onto the floor. on the other side of this, rhys lets out a small, broken noise. ]

No...

[ no, it can't be fiona. it can't be fiona because fiona is fine and safe and not here and she is the only reason rhys can be here and he can die here and everything will still be okay back home. she'll take care of vaughn. she'll make sure everything goes right. she will save gortys and loader bot and get vallory off their backs and --

... and she is here. she is here and bound and gagged and something inside of rhys finally just breaks. his eyes shine over with unshed tears and his expression goes blank and anyone close enough to rhys can hear him mumble, softly and so, so hurt. ]

Someone... someone pick up her hat. S-she needs her hat.

[ then, the tears start to spill but rhys will stay silent as he keeps watching the screen anyway. he can't leave her like this. after all, it's -- it's fiona. ]
