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.

[She totally tries to go "yeah" from inside of her room before she remembers that soundproofing is a thing? When she opens the door, she's a little wide-eyed and jittery.]

...Yeah? [Nailed it.]

[lastgirl]

...Are you alright?

[How does being nice work? Buddy doesn't know so she is making her best attempt.]

[fourleafcleaver]

[All of the points for effort, Buddy. Clover goes from mildly panicky to terribly sad-looking all at once.]

...Yeah. [She isn't especially convincing. But she remembers Buddy offering to help her find Light months (has it really been months now?) ago, and adds, quietly:] They got my brother.

[lastgirl]

So that's...Light, right? [She vaguely remembers the name, with how long it's been, but she doesn't forget first meetings.] I'm sorry they took him. They're really looking to influence people more than ever before.

[fourleafcleaver]

Yeah. [She leans against the doorway a little and tries, mostly unsuccessfully, for a weary little smile.] You remembered.

[She isn't really sure how much "sorry" is helping but she's mildly more sure that she doesn't want any useless half-attempts at help that won't actually do anything, either.] Thanks.

...He shouldn't be here. None of—nobody should, but... [Hasn't her poor brother been kidnapped enough??? Her voice is soft, anxious.] I don't know what to do.

[lastgirl]

[She's quiet while Clover contemplates and nods.]

I think a lot of people are in your position this time around. It's just a matter of making a choice...and who will be the first to make it.

[Because one of them will absolutely kill this time. Buddy saw how everyone reacted - even the kindest soul would do whatever they must to protect their loved ones.]

[fourleafcleaver]

[so that's a vote for the axe end, then]

...I guess. [well that was reassuring]

Um. Thanks for checking up on me, Buddy.
