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...

[ At some point, he can be seen in the dining area...

He's staring down a... painting of a moose.

Akira will take several steps to the left...

... then to the right... ]

Creepy...

[ Yet he doesn't actually sound especially creeped out. He's looking closer to amused, if anything.

Speaking of creepy, though, he'll be taking a flashlight and heading down to the basement to explore it! Time to get spoopy!!!

... Then, uh...

... Around dinnertime?

He's going to be... pressing a white and black mask to his face, only to suddenly get smacked upside the head by one of the goat butlers.

Classy. ]

Wha-!?

[ Please hold while he stares at the goat.

(See: icon??? sob) ]

[keydomhearts]

[ Did you just get goatwhacked??? ]

Huh? Why did he hit you?

[kagamiimagak]

[Bless Sora, because the moment Kagami realises Akira isn't actually hurt.

She just bursts into laughter.]

[beguiledcard]

[ WOW????? ]

Thanks.

[kagamiimagak]

It's fine, it's fine. It's better than if you went into a store wearing that.

[beguiledcard]

[ IS IT REALLY FINE ]

This somehow doesn't feel very reassuring.

[ s-somehow ]

It's the mask associated with my abilities.

[beguiledcard]

[ AND TO SORA, WITH THE STRAIGHTEST FACE-- ]

Because he wouldn't be able to handle the jealousy.

[keydomhearts]

Maybe you should try giving them their own masks.

[ Snerk. Just going to grab the mask if Akira let's him to put it on. ]

What do you think?

[beguiledcard]

[ He will let him!!! But, there's a small snort. ]

I can't just give the cool costume change that usually goes with that. That's something they'd have to Awaken to on their own.

[ Just. Giving a thumbs up at the question though! ]

[keydomhearts]

Cool costume change... You mean like magic?

[ Whoa. ]

Mine is magic, too!

[ Gesturing at the outfit he's in, while still wearing the mask. ]

dining area

[excavated]

. . . that definitely is a painting, isn't it?

[beguiledcard]

[ HEH. . . . ]

With how this place is, I wouldn't be surprised if that's actually haunted.

[excavated]

You mean like a ghost possessing it?

[beguiledcard]

Yeah, exactly.

[ He doesn't even sound nervous, though. ]

[excavated]

[ Syaoran... doesn't either, actually. ]

Let's just hope it's a friendly one.

BASEMENT

[kiddatheart]

[ drops a hand on akira's shoulder as he's about to go into the basement ]

Whatcha up to?

[beguiledcard]

[ He blinks at the sudden hand! That. Was NOT the tiiiiniest jolt, nope. He's pure, undeniable badassness over here. ]

Just checking things out. Wanna come with?

[kiddatheart]

[ your guts is too low to be a badass

but ryuji is grinning and giving his shoulder a small squeeze ]

You kiddin'? Of course I wanna go with you.

[beguiledcard]

[ ah

yes

to be milky toast :(

He smiles at that answer and nods! ]

Spoken like a true badass. [ akira no ] Let's go.

[ And they're off! ]

[kiddatheart]

Second only to you.

[ don't worry, he likes milky toast ]

Anything in particular you lookin' for while we're down here?

basement bros!

[anonnomnomnom]

[From somewhere in the darkness...?!]

Oh! Somebody brought a light!

[Annnnd Anon pops out of the darkness like a big pink ghosty thing.

He doesn't seem to be creeped out or particularly inconvenienced by having had to stand around in the dark for who knows how long, though. He just grins.]

This is usually where you'd find dead people, right?

[Anon, why.]

[beguiledcard]

[ U h ]

Were you just... hanging out?

[ aNON WHY THO ]

Yes.

[anonnomnomnom]

Actually, I came down here hoping to find the light switch, but I haven't found one yet.

[So like, he's not actually that far down??]

I did take a flashlight, too, but I have pretty good night vision, so I thought I wouldn't need it.

[He's doing his best! Now he turns on his flashlight and it's suddenly very bright in here.]

[beguiledcard]

[ Well, guess that makes sense. ]

I tried it way earlier and couldn't find a switch or cord, either. Who builds a basement without a light...?

[ The hell kind of powerful flashlight is that! But, better than darkness, at least?? He won't complain, at all. ]

[anonnomnomnom]

If it's a Witch's basement, maybe you're usually supposed to use a witchlight?

[That's probably not it but can you really refute his logic here.

It is the most amazing of flashlights, the one that you only get after S. Link 8 with a goat butler. But actually it's just because they have two flashlights now. Score!]

Or they just don't want anyone down here. That makes it even better.
