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

Oh, not you too.

[ Break makes a huffy sound of irritation, and yet he picks up his teaspoon to stir the sugar into his tea all the same. It seems like he won't actually object to the extra sugar, since Gilbert does know him well... ]

It wasn't so bad at first, but really, he's more of a pest now.

[HER, TOO, she's trying really hard to compose herself but she's absolutely picking betray on him here because this is hysterical, give her a minute.]

Haha! Sorry, I just—haha, of all the things to use ghost energy on... [sneeerrrrk, wheeze. she's at least not falling down over herself anymore.] Sugar cubes. Hehe. Hi, Gilbert.

[crazily]

That's all he's been doing after being helpful once.

[ Break's attention is caught by something, though, and his gaze flickers to his hand. He sighs and shakes his head, then raises his hand to wave at Clover. ]

Which, speaking of, I think he's trying to tell me to say hello back. And wasting his energy doing so. [ That pointed addition is solely for Gilbert. ]

[THE GHOST SAID HI BACK TO HER SHE'S SO DELIGHTED this is so weird, all of this is so goddamn weird, none of which stops her from waving cheerfully at the blind dude and all of the nothing surrounding him while she skips over to the counter to start the coffee maker. She came here for a reason that wasn't laughing at Break, honest.]

Hehe, it'd be rude if he didn't say hi back! [She props her chin up with her hand, leaning on the counter. By some miracle, she manages to quit being so giggly before she continues, and she isn't even yelling!! Who knew Clover could say things at a reasonable person volume?] Hey, Gilbert, tell Lucy hi for me, too, before you get chased off.

[crazily]

Oh, don't worry. You can assume that he's here the entire time, honestly.

[ Since Gilbert really doesn't leave him alone... Break definitely announces when he's about to go shower or whatever, because don't make it weirder than it already is, Gilbert. But. He takes a sip of his tea and glances to his shoulder, but whatever he seems to feel there makes him laugh softly, and a warmer smile comes to his face as he nods. This one doesn't bother him so much, since he had promised Undyne that he would mention it. ]

He said that he will. [ A pause, and then he adds: ] I also told him to send Lucy your way if she could come visit, but I still don't know much about how this works, admittedly. But that was Undyne's idea, I should note.

[ultimate ghost babysitter...... we'll never be rid of him

Even if Break can't see how Clover lights up, her finding a balance between sounding absolutely elated and actually being quiet, who would have thought it possible, is notable enough without the accompanying grin.] Really? [What did she do to deserve glittersis... Clover pauses a moment to press more buttons on the coffee maker.] Thank you. Both of you. ...I'll just assume a "you're welcome" so you don't get yelled at again, Gilbert. [let him rest]

[crazily]

[ He's not completely sure what the full "both of you" is meant to encapsulate, so he just assumes that it's Gilbert and Undyne, since he'd give them much more credit anyways. He hadn't thought of the idea, and it was Gilbert actually doing so. Break is just here to be a medium (despite how odd that is), and so he wouldn't take any credit for it anyways. Still, his smile shifts to one somewhere between fond and warm and slightly awkward, since grandpa is really bad at expressing anything close to, like, feelings. ]

Well, I hope she comes to chat, if she can. I couldn't say that any week is easy, but this one is probably difficult for everyone.
