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?

That's possible! If everyone's able to recall seeing them at one point that'd definitely be a better alibi.

[And Bill's going to lean back against a nearby wall with a chuckle.]

At least there's a rule against mass murder, right? This'd be a perfect opportunity to try and kill as many of us as possible at once after all. Confuse us, get us gathering in the lobby together...

No more than two people killed per person. [So hopefully no bombs will go off.]

[Hopefully.]

Sometimes I think maybe we should thank the big wigs for rules like that. Especially times like now. This is just unsettling, probably the worst Friday yet.

Mm. I still haven't had breakfast. [The kitchen has proven dangerous a couple of times now.]

[The kitchen needs to stop. It is a vital part of everyone's day.]

Oh! I've got some snacks from the store up in my room! I could go run and get you a few if you want.

[Friendly neighborhood dorito is here to help.]

No, you should stay here. Going anywhere alone right now could be really dangerous.

What if I take someone with me? I could take Hazelwood. I'm sure between the two of us we'd be fine.

[Shaking her head again.] Two people can be murdered in one week. If any of us go anywhere it should be in large groups.

Alright then I'll recruit myself a merry band of travelers! I'll be the bard, Hazelwood can be the sword mage, Jamjams can be our rogue...I bet Dragonrider would be an awesome tank. A whole party to take on Snack Quest!

[Thoughtfully:] I don't think I've seen Astrid yet this morning.

[ snorts ]

I guess it wouldn't be terrible?

Oh, there you are. [Speak of the Dragonrider.] Good morning--as good as it can be here.

I don't like you, don't bother talking to me.

[ Bluntly...she's still not thrilled with Lithuania's defense of Poland, apparently. ]

Did I do something to offend you? [Lithuania obviously did not attribute as much malice to that defense as Astrid has.]

Does it matter? Go be superior at someone else. I'm done with your shit.

[ Lithuania's pretty much joined Inaba and Poland on her "fuck these people in particular" list for the defense. ]

I have no idea what you're talking about. [But she's edging into annoyed, herself. Confusion is mostly what's keeping her talking.]

[ Astrid chooses "Ignore" from her conversational bag of tricks, apparently failing to care about Lithuania edging on annoyed. Anyone not clearly on her side is against her, and...

...well, honestly, she has a specific level of tolerance for bullshit and it's at the point where she's not putting up with anything she qualifies as bullshit any longer. ]

Yeah, we came downstairs together. We've been together for the past two days so.

[No need to worry about that.]

Yeah, that's the spirit! With all of us together we'd do just fine! I mean we just came from up there, right? And we were alright.

Someone has to be dead, it's not like we've managed to break pattern for motives that don't even matter.

[ YOU CAN'T TELL HER SOMEONE WOULD KILL FOR LAST WEEK'S MOTIVE BUT NOT FOR THIS ONE?????????????? ]

We should probably head out...I guess? Someone clearly went crazy last night, it was Thursay. We can't be trusted to handle our shit on Thursday.

Oh...I was talking about Snack Quest, which is still something we should do if we can't have breakfast.

[Food is important?]

But yeah, it's weird that no one is dead....

...Well, WE still have snacks.

[ LEFTOVER...astrid actually frowns a little though she can't actually cook um ]

But yeah, that's weird too. Hey, maybe someone offed the lady in charge.

Yeah, that was the plan! We go get snacks we have left over and share 'em. That's why we need a party!

[It's just upstairs after all.]

Rebellion! Anarchy! I mean, that'd be a shame, she's kinda cool, but at the same time it'd be a quick way to get through this huh?

Hey, if you're going to kill someone, you may as well make it worth our while, right?

[ FOR ONCE ]
