week 0 - continuation

[vicedirector]

seven vices week 0 ♫ tuesday - sunday With that revelation, things are sure to be more tense--or maybe, you prefer to go the hope route? Either way, the atmosphere of the town begins changing ever so subtly. Once in a while, you can feel someone staring at you from behind, though when you turn to check, no one will be there. Footsteps can also be heard echoing when one stands close to the void, even when alone....of course, no one will be there, either. As of Tuesday, extra food will be found in the kitchen. The ingredients are very based in Western cuisine: rye and wheat bread, potatoes, cabbage, beets, onions, cucumbers, assorted mushrooms, and the like are all supplied. In addition, there are also miscellaneous spices, eggs, milk, and an abundance of fish and pork. Various dishes made with the above ingredients will also be set out for anyone to take during lunch and dinner. A copy of the rulebook has been pinned to the front of the chapel, and a wooden sign now stands at the east edge of town near the clinic: Welcome to Lebensbaum | EST. 1623 | Population: ♜♜♜♜♜♜♜. The bonfire will be lit every night from 10PM to 6AM, after which it will extinguish on its own. >Mingle? This is the last open mingle for Week 0. No motives will be given until next Monday, and thus no murders will occur. Enjoy your last week of safety! 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. cast setting rulebook profiles private conversations

[Takao squints. He consumes an entire half of a French toast slice before speaking again.]

Do you think the breakfast food "magically" came from somewhere else?

[He waits for an answer because this was actually a serious question, he wasn't being sarcastic about "magically". Takao assumed as soon as Miata appeared that she had been sneaking around making breakfast all along. But this could well be an error as a result of his normal upbringing. After all, the breakfast food has been the same while Miata's appearance marks the dawn of new food, which he's (from a distance) seen her personally making. They could be from separate sources.]

[Vegeta pauses mid-chew. Shit. He just started eating without thinking as soon as he saw food, because (again) not eating for two days when you're a saiyan is a terrible idea.

... Resumes eating. Whatever, it's too late to stop now. Besides, maybe it did come from somewhere else.] This food is already cooked. It doesn't make sense to waste it.

Anyway, I haven't seen that woman since that first time. [At the chapel. Probably for the best.]

[takanome]

Does it make sense to waste the other food once she's cooked it? [He's already questioning Vegeta a lot more than he intended, and looks down to consume the rest of the first slice as he reconsiders the wisdom of this. It's a respectful discussion so far, though.]

We've all seen her flitting around in the kitchen cooking the other food too. [Maybe that Vegeta didn't know where she was, that was also for the best BUT TOO LATE NOW, WELP.] Do you really think she'd straight-up poison us? Wouldn't that defeat the whole point of a killing game? [Again, serious questions. Hey maybe Vegeta has been in a killing game before.]

[keepshispride]

[Very respectful. Vegeta thinks Takao is an insolent punk, questioning him so much.]

[But he's been locked in his room since they were let out of the chapel, so yeah, he had no clue Miata was around. He's a little surprised, he'd expected her to go back into hiding. Gonna have to remember that bit of info.] I'm not worried about poison this early. That would spoil their game. [Eats angrily.] I just don't want to take anything from her.

[Basically, it's a Pride thing.]

[takanome]

Okay, then, um, you can definitely go on not doing that if you want.

[Takao can tell that the productive part of this conversation is drawing to a close and he begins to eat more quickly again - not quite as neatly as Vegeta, his lips are always clear but there are sometimes small unswallowed chunks in the back of his mouth.]

Like this food has definitely still been here this whole time. Plus some other vegetables and stuff that probably came straight out of a farm or whatever.

[keepshispride]

Swallow your food before you talk, brat.

[Teenagers are so gross. Also: marvel at Vegeta, the conversationalist.]

[takanome]

[He gives Vegeta a brief glance - what are you, his dad? But he knows what's good for him far too well to say THAT.

He returns to eating with a just focused expression, neater not so much by virtue of improved technique as just not talking.]

[keepshispride]

[Vegeta is the Team Dad that absolutely no one wants.

But silence is golden, so Vegeta just grunts in approval and goes back to eating. God, I'm so sorry for him.]
