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...

[ This morning, if you're an early riser, you might find Ryuji running laps around the mansion. He's working up quite a sweat, and then he takes a break, one of his hands coming to rest on one of his thighs, rubbing it gingerly before nodding in somewhat apparent approval.

Later, if you like sleeping in like a normal person, you'll find Ryuji in the Library. He's got a pile of shounen manga at his side and is flipping through one of them. ]

let's do this!!!

[beguiledcard]

[ He's out here, giving a small wave when Ryuji starts to pass by, possibly around the time he's ready to take a break? The other hand has a bottle of water in it. ]

[kiddatheart]

Oh, hey Akira!

[ smiling as he stops right by him. he's a panting and sweating mess, but all he does is just wipe some of the sweat off his forehead. ]

What brings you out here?

[beguiledcard]

[ He smiles back, holding the bottle out. ]

Saw you from a window. Thought you could use this.

[kiddatheart]

Heh, thanks! You're definitely right about that, I'm thirsty as hell!

[ he takes the bottle and proceeds to chug about half of it before letting out a refreshed sigh ]

Bein' at the Foundation must have made me get outta shape. I'm tired and I did nowhere close to the amount of running that you and I would do together.

library

[excavated]

What are you reading? [ Syaoran is a curious boy who is interested in books! Even if said books are actually manga. ]

[kiddatheart]

Oh, just a manga I read back home. Your standard shounen stuff.

[excavated]

I've never read manga before, so I wouldn't know what 'standard shounen' is. [ PLEASE EXPLAIN TO HIM, RYUJI ]

[kiddatheart]

Oh, right! Sorry!

I guess the best way to put it is that it's comics meant for guys to read? Lots of action, fighting, things like that.

[ showing off a page of BATTLE MANGA FIGHT ]

Exercise!

[aleph_armed]

[Yes, this is how it should be. When people have free time, they should be doing their best to exercise as best they can, and train themselves to become stronger and fitter.

So yes, whenever he takes a break, Gebura's around nodding in approval slightly, and has probably taken the time and distance run for him.]

Don't forget the cooldown. Your muscles need that too, after all.

[kiddatheart]

[ nodding at him ]

Yeah, yeah I know! Just wanna make sure my leg isn't gonna crap out on me before I start it.

[ once ryuji is sure that his leg is fine, he starts walking around, making sure to get that cool down ]

[aleph_armed]

[Hm. An old wound, then? Well, we can leave that for later. Once she sees that the cool down is happening, she nods again.]

Good, you know how to take care of your body. That places you above most people already.

[kiddatheart]

Well, I used to run competitively, so I kinda did have to learn

running laps

[keydomhearts]

[ Dun. Dun dun dun. Dun dun dun. Dun dun duuuuuun. It's the thigh of the tiger! ]

Hey, you're working hard! How fast can you go?

[kiddatheart]

Dunno, it's been a while since I timed myself.

[keydomhearts]

Maybe we can find out. Feel up to a race some time?

[kiddatheart]

Yeah, sure, I'd definitely be down for a race!

mansion

[clearumbrella]

[ Running laps?? Running is basically fast-paced walking and, hey, he likes walking. He's in! Sometime after Ryuji starts up, Clear casually joins in and runs in pace right next to him. While still wearing the mask, because, y'know. ]

[kiddatheart]

Huh?! What's with the mask?

[clearumbrella]

Mask?! [ looks... around... ]

[kiddatheart]

I'm talking 'bout you!

we're all lap runners RAH RAH

[anonnomnomnom]

[Anon is absolutely out here in the early morning! He has training to do too, after all, though it's a mystery what all kind of training he's doing. It all seems to be rather haphazard when viewed casually; right now, though, he's definitely here for running! He hasn't worked up as much of a sweat, though he seems pleased to have a buddy.

When Ryuji takes a break, he jogs in a little circle around him and then jogs in place, bouncing a little impatiently and tilting his head as he watches.]

Ah, are you done? I was hoping we could run for a little longer. It's always a little more interesting with company.

[Never mind that they've only been company for like, five minutes. Close enough!]

run run fight the powa

[kiddatheart]

Oh, you run too?

[ shakes out one of his legs, considering it for a moment before nodding ]

I can keep running for a bit longer. Just lemme finish my break. Ain't good to keep runnin' without any breaks, after all.

[anonnomnomnom]

[He also considers Ryuji's leg curiously for moment, but nods back.]

Running is good for building stamina, and muscle, and also if you're on an island with nowhere to go -- it makes you feel like you're going places!

I can go for a bit longer without a break, but I'll wait for you!

[He's still jogging in place and occasionally making circles around him, so apparently that's his version of waiting.]

[kiddatheart]

Yeah, yeah, don't rub it in.

[ finishes resting before working himself into a standing jog pace before nodding and taking off ]

How long you've been running?
