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...

master bedroom

[time to poke around in here to see what she can find. Ann’s trying to be sneaky, quietly pushing the door open as though she expects a trap any minute. But the important thing is, she notices the guns and her eyes widen.

She grabs a chair so she can stand on it to grab one of the guns off the wall. How suspicious?!]

Now how do you open this…

dining room

Hey…

[Ann isn’t afraid to get anyone’s attention.]

Hey, are you any good at making desserts?

[what a random question. But she’s hungry.]

flower garden

It’s so pretty. Too bad this place is awful.

[and whether or not you expected to grab her attention, you’ve got it. She waves.]

Hey! Do you want to walk with me a little bit?

[her friend making drive is in full gear. Vroom vroom.]

food

[excavated]

I am, actually. Why do you ask?

[fullbodied]

Can you teach me? Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaase?

[excavated]

I definitely don't mind, but what kind of dessert do you want to learn first?

[fullbodied]

Crepes!

[with absolutely zero hesitation]

And then cakes.

Garden

[byanyother_name]

Mountain laurel... That's an interesting choice.

[The redhead kneeling by the flowers and examining them looks up and blinks at Ann's request. Kurama gets up with a light brush to the knee of his pants.]

Certainly. I don't believe we've met, my name is Kurama.

[fullbodied]

Ann Takamaki.

What type of flower did you say they were?

[byanyother_name]

Mountain laurel. Kalmia latifolia, scientifically. The flower meaning is usually ambition, perseverance, or success.

[fullbodied]

Oh! That's awesome that you know that!

So, do you know where those flowers usually grow? That's probably useful information, y'know? I just don't know anything about flowers.

dining room

[respring]

Oh! [ did someone say COOKING ] I'm still working on my baking skills, but there's a few I know how to make pretty well. What were you in the mood for, Takamaki-san?

[fullbodied]

Crepes! Or Cakes! Or ice cream! Wait, you don't need to know how to make ice cream.

But honestly, aaaaaanything sweet.

[respring]

Hmmm, crepes sound good right about now.

[ Starting to walk to the kitchen ]

It might take me a bit to find everything since this kitchen is new to me, but did you have a particular filling in mind?

[ she looks happier than she has in a long time, even back at the test site. COOKING FOR PEOPLE GIVES HER A PURPOSE, THIS IS SO NICE. ]

[fullbodied]

[COOK FOR HER, SHE LOVES IT.]

Hmm... What do you think about whipped cream, bananas, and strawberries? Something light, since it's hot outside!

And I'm totally gonna watch and learn.

master bedroom

[youkaiwatch]

[ Ann, if you want to be sneaky, don't talk to yourself...

Peeking in the door... ]

Looking for something?

[fullbodied]

[she almost drops the gun in surprise. She was so sure she was being sneaky? But she slowly turns, clutching the gun close to her chest, with the barrel pointing at the sky, and trying for all the world... to look innocent]

... Do you know how to open up a shotgun?

[youkaiwatch]

[ It's not very effective... ]

I can take a look.

[ hand it over ]

[fullbodied]

[she can try. but she does readjust her hold, so that she can hand over the gun.]

... Thought I'd make it a little more difficult for people to get hurt.

[she says, with zero gun training herself.]

dining

[kiddatheart]

I mean, if you're expecting a cake, not really?

[fullbodied]

[she flicks his forehead.]

I forgot who I was asking.

[kiddatheart]

Hey! Doesn't mean I don't know how to make sweet things!

[fullbodied]

Putting sugar on something doesn't count!

dining room

[kagamiimagak]

What, don't want to ask the help? I'm sure they won't mix fur in.

[That doesn't answer the question at all.]

[fullbodied]

Mmm, nah. I don't trust 'em. But I still want my sweets fix.

[kagamiimagak]

Have you not thought about learning how to make your own? It would be a useful skill. [It'd be condescending, if she wasn't smiling the whole time.]

But that does bring up a good point about the help...

[fullbodied]

That's why I'm asking, actually! If I know someone that can teach me, it's the best of all worlds, right?

And I'd look up a recipe on my phone and just try but the internet's busted.
