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.

[ 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 ]

[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.]

[ Blonde hostages, the worst type of hostages really.

She's silent for a long moment, genuinely thinking about it. Except not really because. Well. Then she lets out a sigh. ]

I guess not. I was joking, anyway. Even if I wanted to kill someone, which I really Do Not, I'd fuck it up and then everythin' would be 600% worse.

[ Ok it was mostly a joke, she really doesn't want to lose Rose again. But lucky for you Hinata, your girlfriend and her daughter probably aren't actual serial killers. ]

It's just. It sucks not being able to do anything.

[Ugh Roxy please be good-!! Hinata just shifts back a little to get at a better angle, just enough so he can lean forward and kiss her forehead. It's a little awkward, since she's literally on the floor, but the attempt is made.]

Yeah... I agree. It seems like the more we all get to know each other... the better the people running this sick game get at predicting... what might force someone's hand, you know?

[Just going to go back to brushing his fingers gently through her hair again and along her cheek, though he's looking up at the monitor instead of at her.]

But... we'll get through this. I just... need to focus, and find the best way to strike back and end this.
