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

[ Humans... baffle him sometimes?

Now he has this image of Miharu being a serial killer, like Charlotte. Although, he reminds himself that is probably not what Yoite meant. ]

Pardon my asking. However...Drowning from what, exactly? "Being dead"...?

[ He is legitamately curious about this, since. Well. He already knows about the Kira thing and wants to beat whoever introduced the concept to him, but it's whatever. ]

I didn't know her as well as I know Miharu. [ Far from it, he just couldn't ignore the parallels.]

But he lives a life where he acts indifferent to everyone, and everything. A life where he's dead inside, or at least that's how he acts.

...I know what that feels like. [ Because it's the same thing he tried to do to himself-- to kill himself both emotionally and physically.] It's a painful way to live.

[ And ultimately, Yoite couldn't stand anyone else living that way.]

[dhaosu]

... It is. I cannot ever imagine myself living as if indifferent to everything.

[ Maybe 'feeling' dead inside, he knows, and acting 'dead inside'. But a life where one could care less about life in its totality? An impossibility, even for him, at his worst. ]

So this is why. At least, I believe I do have an understanding, and I thank you for elaborating on this.

[okuri]

You're welcome. [ A beat.] She told me she wanted me to survive this place. [ And he couldn't believe himself that she had said that.]
