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

[ How does he--]

I'm only 16. [ Just saying the first thing that comes to mind.]

[sobowtor]

Don't worry. I married Lucy too and she's only 14.

[Poland maybe don't. Advertise that.]

[okuri]

...[ Wasn't she dead? But somehow this isn't his chosen argument.]

I don't like people that way. [ Not even Poland, people.]

[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.]

[okuri]

Then what's the point?

[sobowtor]

I told you!

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

[okuri]

I- Please don't be nice to me.

[sobowtor]

How come?

[okuri]

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

[sobowtor]

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

[okuri]

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

[sobowtor]

Okay well.

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

[okuri]

...why?

[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!

[okuri]

... [ He has no answer to that other than to look away.

There's something he should say, though.]

You were close with Charlotte too, right? I'm glad you defended her.

[sobowtor]

...

Even though I was wrong I can't say I really regret trying to defend her. I didn't think she could do something like that...

[Poland definitely doesn't regret yelling at Urashima about saying she had no feelings. She did have feelings. A little bit at least.]

[okuri]

I don't regret it either. [ For different reasons, but he still agreed.

He looks down at the ring Poland gave him, and pockets it into his jacket.]

...I'll keep this, thank you.
