WEEK 1 MINGLE - KALMIA

[foundationmods]

All of the guests awoke in their rooms, just like they had before.

Yesterday had been a day of surprises.
First, they'd finally met the person who had brought them here - the Witch of Dimensions, Yuuko.
Secondly, they'd learned they were going to be playing a horrible game.
And most important, they learned that wishes could be granted if they won this game.🗈

Still, for now, it seemed like there wasn't much to do. Was the Witch already in talks with the 'Murderer'? Was the 'victim' already decided upon?

There was no way to know until some day later this week, apparently.

Still, it wasn't all bad. The island was beautiful and the climate just perfect for beachgoing, or taking a cosy walk in the garden. There were also board and card games which would be produced upon request - and the tv in the Sitting Room - to help ease the boredom of it all.

Though, perhaps the guests would prefer to get to know each other instead? On maybe get into some trouble as they roamed the island.

Despite being told someone will die, it...felt remarkably peaceful. Could one of their own really be able to kill someone?

...Or, maybe...this is just the silence that comes just before a massive storm breaks, and sweeps away everything...

I'll have to remember that!

[Thank you for getting him to at least consider coming to mealtimes in something other than sackcloth. You're saving my life IRL. Also, he's going to immediately point to at least three dishes. It would be simultaneous but he still has food in one hand, so it's rapidfire.]

This one! This one! This one! Those are my favorites right now.

[I'm leaving his culinary fate in your hands. Also we're off topic already in record time.]

[excavated]

[ Is it really off topic when he said he'd answer questions... ] Those are some dumplings, and that's sweet and sour pork. That last one is peking roast duck.

[anonnomnomnom]

[It's true. Like a fool, he never specified the type of questions he would answer...... Giving Anon carte blanche is such a bad idea.]

Oooh. I can recognize some of the meats, of course I can, but you've done some magic to them! Are you sure the Foundation didn't hire you to be a monster cook, like Watanuki?

[You totally helped him with the snacks too. His metaphorical tail is wagging so this is probably a compliment.]

[excavated]

A lot of this are things that my father taught me, actually, and some that I picked up on my own. Although I'm not sure if they hired me to become a cook like him... but I wouldn't mind working with Watanuki.

[ He means this rather earnestly, really, as it's obvious there's some hints of affection in his voice as he says that. ]

[anonnomnomnom]

Father taught me a whole lot of things, too, but the thing he really likes making is... tea?

[There's a pause there, as he almost trips over his words and ends up on a question. Maybe he just doesn't know what tea is, or his dad makes a weird-ass variety of tea or something. Normal stuff.]

So I definitely don't have the talent to be a cook, but at least you and Watanuki will keep us from starving if Yuuko doesn't want to feed us all the time. [he cocks his head] Watanuki is... your friend?

[excavated]

No, he's-- [ He shakes his head, before going to explain. ] Watanuki is the person who is the closest to me than anyone else.

[goldenmaniac]

Congratulations!

[excavated]

. . . What for?

[???]

[goldenmaniac]

For your relationship! I hope it's erm... fruitful?

[excavated]

. . . Thanks? Although I don't think it's something to congratulate us on, though.

[goldenmaniac]

Hey, it's always good to see people happy together, so I think that's more than worth congratulations.

[excavated]

I guess that's true, although it's hard to be happy in this sort of situation.

[foundfate]

He has a girlfriend, don't tease him!

[oceanicbutterfly]

[looks at Syaoran]

[looks at Watanuki]

Well, I suppose we live in that kind of time now. As long as the three of you are happy...

[goldenmaniac]

Oh! That's good, so you won't have to worry about the, uhh... fruit part.

[youkaiwatch]

Oh~

[anonnomnomnom]

[He blinks a couple of times, seemingly going through the 'closest person to you' roulette in his head--

But hey, since Takumi is a helpful gogglehead:]

... Congratulations!

[foundfate]

[He just. Sees those reactions and rests his forehead in his hand.]

It's not like that you dumbasses!

[anonnomnomnom]

[He's just been watching all the flailing and denial with his head whipping back and forth like at a tennis match.]

Mmm... Brother? Father? Second cousin five times removed? Pet? Furniture?

[literalidiotball]

Uh... I dunno if they're related, so the first three are right out.

[anonnomnomnom]

Why wouldn't they be related? Family members are usually the closest, right? If they're not dating and stuff.

[literalidiotball]

Yeah, but they don't exactly look related, do they?

[excavated]

Can we stop referring to him as Furniture at least?

[literalidiotball]

[Nod, nod...]

So he's a pet. Got it.

[excavated]

He's not a pet either?!
