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...

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?

[anonnomnomnom]

What, that we're trapped on an island? It's not all bad, is it? The sea is really beautiful, and all the animals and people are really interesting-- [why are animals and people mashed together here] --and once I'm done exercising there's always some kind of new food to try.

It really is kind of like a vacation.

[He laughs, keeping pace with Ryuji easily and occasionally running backwards because he's. Like that.]

Oh, do you mean now or all the time?

[kiddatheart]

I would rather an island vacation when I actually plan for it and not when I just wake up on one.

And I meant right now.

[anonnomnomnom]

Planning sounds like work, and not a vacation, so I think it's more of a vacation if you just get it handed to you.

[Okay but the whole murder game thing seems like work too??

But he doesn't seem to be considering that???]

Oh, and an hour or so, I guess? I like to move around in the morning! It wakes me up, 'cause I'm usually a busy guy.

[kiddatheart]

Plannin' to go on one and plannin' what you're gonna do on one are totally different things!

And hey, same here. Except for being a busy guy.

[anonnomnomnom]

But you can't tell me you don't go around thinking 'Hey, I really wish I could take a vacation today! If I were to take a vacation, I'd want to go to a really cool island with a mansion, and nice flowers and great beach and everything', or something like that on a bunch of different days. So that totally counts.

[Why are they arguing about this again, this is silly.]

You have a lot of free time?

[kiddatheart]

I mean, yeah, I do? Who doesn't? But life doesn't always let ya do that, you know?

[ because they're both silly ]

A bit, yeah. I mean before the Foundation, I basically had school and other stuff.

[anonnomnomnom]

That's why you should definitely enjoy it while you have it! Life and vacations, that is.

[Since this is backdated this is just unnecessary foreshadowing now.

Speaking of silly he's still occasionally just running literal rings around Ryuji. Maybe he's just bad at running in straight line.]

Hmm. I think turning school into just giving you practical skills might be one of the things the Foundation actually gets right. I still have a lot of free time, though...

[kiddatheart]

I dunno, there's a lot that's still pretty fishy about this.

[ but he can't argue against that ]

--what do you do with your free time?

[anonnomnomnom]

There's a lot that's fishy about the Foundation too. If you can't enjoy anything that's fishy, you're going to have a hard life.

[Should he really be giving life advice.]

At the Foundation? They're still running all kinds of tests, even if they've stopped the really interesting ones. I kind of miss those... Back home? I was in a tournament to decide who the next God should be!

[....... one of these things is not like the other.]

[kiddatheart]

The only thing that I want fishy is my fish!

[ . . . ok that gets him to stop running and stare at him ]

Huh?! For real?!

[anonnomnomnom]

We can't always get what we want, though!

[Said absolutely cheerfully. Terrible. He slows a little and starts jogging in circles again, looking amused by Ryuji's surprise.]

For real. I hear the tournament's structure is kind of unusual, this time around, but there's always been a need to pick a new God. I'm not sure about the exact details of the past selection process, though... It was probably a lot more boring.

If there's one thing I can say for this God, it's that he at least has fun ideas sometimes.

[Why is this spoken like God is his eccentric uncle.]
