week 8 - investigation

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 8 - investigation ♫ friday On Friday morning, nothing happens. It's 10AM, and there are no blackouts or explosions. There's no blood, no objects out of place, no missing guests. Nada. Zip. Zilch. The monitor in the lobby is silent, and Katerina doesn't seem to have anything to say on the matter. On the most desperate of weeks...could someone have actually not taken the initiative? >Mingle? cast setting

Stop being melodramatic. [You're still not getting this clementine.]

[sobowtor]

Ugh!

[Just for that Poland's laying on the floor.

Melodramatically.]

[herbgrace]

Get off the floor. [You could get hurt somehow! Also that's what five-year-olds do.]

[sobowtor]

No! This is dumb. Who's poisoning fruit I put in my sleeve? That's ridiculous.

[The poisoning part. Not the putting fruit in sleeves part.]

[herbgrace]

Someone trying to kill someone without getting caught, obviously.

[sobowtor]

When I starve to death and they execute you, you'll regret this.

[herbgrace]

You won't starve to death in less than a day.

[sobowtor]

How can someone with chronic stomach pain subject someone else to stomach pain this is terrible.

[You're so mean Lithuania. Always so mean.]

[herbgrace]

You're still being melodramatic.

[sobowtor]

Maybe they're just waiting for us to starve ourselves.

Then they'll pick us off one by one when we're too weak to fight back!

[herbgrace]

I'm still not giving you the clementine.

[muties]

Gosh, Lith, stop murderin' Poland.

[sobowtor]

...Save me. [Dramatic arm extension to Roxy.]

[muties]

[ Grabs the arm! To haul Poland back up. While probably still holding onto Hinata with her other hand, of course. ]

C'mon girl, this floor's too gross to die on, even fake die.

[hopefragment]

Maybe if we all went to the kitchen together, we could find something that might not have been messed with? Yeah?

[Leaning back a little to help Roxy haul Poland up, because hell yes that other hand of hers is His.]

[sobowtor]

Yeah but then we could all walk into a knife launcher or something and get skewered.

[That seems more reasonable to Poland than they poisoned the fruit.]

[hopefragment]

Well... what if we just asked all the immune people to check over the whole town together before we go any further?

[Because if the three of them work together and kill two people each that would only be six... corpses... haha...]

[sobowtor]

I don't know if I want to put my safety in the bumbling cyborg hands of Rhys.

[sobowtor]

[Oh fine Poland will get up for her wife.]

Alright fine...

Maybe though no one really will die? That'd be cool.

[muties]

Ugh, that'd be so cool. Just the coolest thing in the history of cool things. So cool, the word cool isn't even a word anymore. It's an enigmatic being transcending all cool things in the coolniverse.

... Our standards are so low now.

[dhaosu]

... Is this really the time for this?

[sobowtor]

Well if I did it when someone got murdered, no.

[Poland converses normally, just from the floor.]

Right now is fine because no one got murdered.

[dhaosu]

Nn... no. It is not fine.

[ Ugh Poland you are an easy target if you lie down on the floor like that. ]

Someone could be waiting for a moment like this.

[sobowtor]

Someone was waiting for Lithuania to steal my fruit, accuse someone of poisoning it, and me to lay on the floor of the lobby demanding she give me my fruit back?

[dhaosu]

...

Someone could be waiting for one to lay down as you are, potentially exposing yourself to whatever trap that could be easily laid upon an individual in your current...position.
