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

[Lithuania's eyes lock onto a serious, scowling man. Her eyes widen in surprise, and Laima nudges at her leg, sensing her owner's distress.] Belarus--How in the world--? [She really looks upset by him being here! Even though he looks like he is set to claw through the cement of the room and is wearing an expression that could intimidate even the most dangerous sort of person.] I'm sure--I'm sure he'll be fine...

[Poor gentle and precious prince Belarus!]

[sobowtor]

[OH HELL NO.]

Don't.

You.

Dare!

[herbgrace]

I-I won't! But--it's just that he's so gentle, he could get hurt, so--so of course I'm worried! [He is probably threatening someone right now lbr.]

[sobowtor]

[Poland's massaging her temples.

Lord. Jesus. Give her strength.]

Just-- no. Stop. Just.

[Is anyone else seeing what a monstrous looking little shit he is or she actually the crazy one.]

[herbgrace]

Stop what? [Lithuania has no idea what you're talking about.]

[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?]

[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?

[herbgrace]

It's not his fault he's related to Russia. [It's as if she didn't even hear the first half of Poland's sentence.]

[sobowtor]

[Poland looks like she developing an ulcer. For once.]

There is also the fact that he hates you.

[herbgrace]

He's just shy.

[sobowtor]

I'm shy!

[herbgrace]

And? [She still has a kind of lovestruck expression on her face. Belarus!!!]

[sobowtor]

[This is just. So not fair. At all.]

Agh! Just shut up I totally don't want to hear about it!

[herbgrace]

[She's so confused.] There's no need to get so upset.

[sobowtor]

AUUUGH!!!

[Poland's stomping away, pulling at her own hair.]
