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

[sans went to see who undyne's hostage was after her reaction, and though he didn't expect it to be asgore, he's immediately distracted by the other giant goat monster... though she looks nice and warm and like everyone's mother. (... Except for the fact that she is glaring intensely at the other goat monster.)

well that's obviously the ex-queen ... who is an old lady... who left for the ruins and never came back and ooooh boy that's his hostage

it's time for sans to make a little choking noise and attempt to abscond from this scene before undyne notices the goat monster next to asgore stat]

[detanimetion]

[She's distracted over her rage at Asgore being there for a few moments, but then it finally occurs to her that she should check who Papyrus's and Sans' hostages are too since chances are good she'll know both of them. There's the human kid, which isn't much of a surprise, and there's...]

...is that Asgore's ex? [What the heck. Who here would have her as a hostage. It's not like any of them are secretly furryshit, right.]

[thebonezone]

[making his way downtown, walking fast

"is that asgore's ex"

WALKING FASTER]

[detanimetion]

[Okay, since Sans got a picture of the human kid for his revenge motive, they clearly can't be his hostage. Which by process of elimination leaves...]

SANS! GET YOUR BONY ASS BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!!

[WALKING FASTER ISN'T GONNA SAVE YOU FROM UNDYNE'S MAD CHARGE SANS]

[thebonezone]

[SWEATS]

--'sup, undyne?

[CLEARLY... AIN'T NOTHING WEIRD HERE]

[detanimetion]

Don't 'sup me!

[Jabbing her thumb back at the monitors!]

That's Asgore's ex, isn't it?! The Queen? How the heck is she your hostage?! I thought no one's seen her in centuries!

[thebonezone]

[internally screaming]

welp. technically, that was true. [he'd never SEEN her...]

[detanimetion]

And what's the actual truth, huh?! Stop bullshitting me already!

[She sticks her face right up in front of his.] Have you been dating the former queen behind Asgore's back?! [Though she has to admit that judging by the glares he was getting from her, that relationship's dead and gone...but still. Low move, bro.]

[thebonezone]

[that line actually gets a physical reaction out of sans!!! that no one has ever seen before!!!

he's fucking blushing.]

dating the-- nope. i wasn't. i... [he sighs because. no. this is no time to consider what his relationship is!!] remember that story i told ya, about the lady behind a door?

[detanimetion]

What? So it was just a one-night stand?! [MAKING IT WORSE...

That gets her to pause in her righteous indignation though.] Wait. You mean that was real?

[thebonezone]

[HE DOESNT EVEN HAVE A DICK UNDYNE WTF???? he's not. answering that. he just shrugs at the other question]

well. that part, yeah.

[detanimetion]

Don't think I've forgotten about the rest of that conversation, Sans. [SHE'LL PRY IT OUT OF HIM ONE OF THESE DAYS]

So...you knew all this time where the queen was and never told anyone?

[thebonezone]

[what conversation haha he's ignoring that]

i had no idea it was the queen. she was just a lady behind a door who had great taste in jokes.

[detanimetion]

Great taste in - are you telling me there's actually more than one monster out there with your terrible sense of humor?! [THIS MAY BE THE MOST TERRIFYING THING SHE'S EVER HEARD TBH

but okay more seriously] And she made you promise to watch over the kid? Why? [Two different questions here = why would she care about not hurting the human doesn't she want to break the barrier but also WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER ASK SANS TO DO ANYTHING]

[thebonezone]

[he just beams because. toriel likes even worse jokes than he does tbh... he's back to shrugging at the other question]

she left because she didn't agree with ol' fluffybuns, right? they had a human kid, once.

["so seeing more murdered might suck" is left implied since he's not about to talk so casually about human child murder in the middle of. everybody. ... he has no answer for "why sans" tho. he asks himself that every day.]

[detanimetion]

I...guess that makes sense. [also explains the death glares tbh] If she was gonna be that softhearted, it's probably a good thing for monsterkind that she stepped down when she did. We don't need a leader who isn't willing to dedicate their whole heart to breaking the barrier!

[this is your daily reminder that undyne totally boots toriel's fluffybun off the throne in more than one ending]

[thebonezone]

guess that means you're gonna be bringing the human to the king after all, huh?

[...and sans follows her in those endings.]

[detanimetion]

[UGH SANS AT LEAST LEAVE PAPYRUS BEHIND WHEN YOU GO]

W-well, I mean...just because one human might be okay doesn't mean all of them are! Besides, if anyone can figure out how to break the barrier without needing to hurt anyone, I bet they could!

[Stop calling her out on her hypocrisy and guilt and super uncomfortableness over this situation gosh it totally ruins her heroine of justice cred!!]

[thebonezone]

[i mean... he's usually dead...]

that's a heck of a lot to ride on the shoulders of one kid.

[not that he disbelieves but messing with undyne's feelings is far more important and also distracts from the original point of the conversation all in one go. sans is the true derail master]

[detanimetion]

Well, we'll all be there backing them up too, of course! With the power of everyone's hearts behind them, nothing can stand in their way, not even the barrier!

[Or...Asgore...but she's not thinking about that and also don't think she's distracted yet mister]

[thebonezone]

well, let's hope all that believing's not gonna be in vein.

[because... hearts...he'll find a way to distract you if it's the last thing he does!!!]

[detanimetion]

...was that a pun? I don't get it. [look she barely understands how blood works okay]

Anyway, you should be more worried about this! If the king's here and the ex-queen's here and I'm here...who's ruling the Underground right now? [METTALAND HERE WE COME]

[thebonezone]

[he's not ... explaining this. he's too busy considering "oh my god. even the dog is here."]

... the royal scientist?

[ALPHYS DON'T LET HIM DOWN]

[detanimetion]

Uh...

[Wow that sure is a look of OH SHIT WHAT HAVE WE DONE on her face right now!]

I mean...Alphys is really smart! I bet she'll do a great job while we're gone!! There's nothing to worry about at all!! [NOTHING!!!]

[thebonezone]

she's got cameras everywhere, right? she probably knows we all got 'napped.

[...wait, should he know about the cameras. 2late now]
