WEEK 5 MINGLE - AMARANTHUS

[foundationmods]

Another trial, another horrible outcome.

This time, it affected so many people...and yet, they still weren't done.
Who would be killed next?
Would they be able...to handle whatever happened?🗈

Still, things were just the same as they had been the past few weeks.

The goats and servants were still around, and so too were the witches.
It was all becoming routine at this point.
Was that a good thing, or a bad one...?
It was...too hard to tell, now...

...Either way, they were now closer to the end.
So, like always...they had to see it through.

WEDNESDAY

[foundationmods]

[goldenmaniac]

[On Wednesday Takumi is a little more... vibrant. Still has the dark circles under his eyes, but words are easier. Thoughts are easier. Though occasionally he pauses and looks about to flee mid-conversation.

These things take time. But he's trying.

In the morning he's in the rec room, listening to music and holding his digivice in his hands, turning them around and around.]

Are you ready to talk to me yet?

[The digivice gives an angry beep, and that's all.

Around lunch time he's in the kitchen, and there's a strong smell of fish- he's trying to cook, apparently. The things Syaroan taught him. It'd be too sad to just let that time fade from his mind, so he has to practice.

And by evening he's in the bar, piddling around the back. No booze, don't worry... but if you sneak in you might catch him putting one of the nozzles... in his mouth.

...he might be drinking pop from the tap. Don't tell anyone]

kitchen

[excavated]

[ There's a little more life in this demon's expression today, but that might be due to him trying something new and, well. He's just peering in a little curiously, a little unsure of what to say. But he is here. ]

morning, pupper.

[literalidiotball]

Huh?

[Wheatley was minding his own business, going to ask the goats for something, when he hears Takumi asking something.]

Uh, sorry. I didn't know you needed someone to talk to.

[Having no idea Takumi wasn't trying to talk to him he enters the rec room and pulls up a chair.]

... I'm here now, what's on your mind?

[keydomhearts]

[ Sora is here to encourage...





baby talking. They can be dumb teens with booze later if you want. But right now, it's baby talk in the morning. He'll throw an arm across his shoulders to peek at the device. ]

What are you talking about?

Evening

[earnahappyending]

[Uh-oh. That sounds like something gross is happening. Tateyama isn't sure what it's, but she's alarmed]

Please don't do that!

[takumi why are you leaving your germs all over the nozzles]

Evening

[incrediblystressedout]

[Joey is here at just the wrong moment, it seems.]

[Or just the right moment to give Takumi the "really?" glare that is innate to and perfected by girls with younger brothers.]

[literalidiotball]

[Wheatley's out and about Wendsday morning, clearing space along a wall and starting to paint... Stick figures? He's squinting at his "art", but it ends up not looking like anyone at all. Just a bunch of stick figures... One of them is wearing a skirt, one has goggles or something... That one has pigtails? You can bug him about this...

... Or you can catch him in the afternoon, finding all his hard work had vanished while he was busy doing other things.]

H-Hey! Where did it go?! I just painted that there!

[Around night-time, after he got the hint about vandalizing the walls, Wheatley just drags his clothes hamper out into the sitting room and paints hearts on the sides. Takumi might recognize the rough pattern, but on top of the lid he scrawls this in sloppy handwriting;]

KEEP GOING FOR...
ERICA AKIRA NATSUNO BOOK-GIRL
KAREN RYOUJEE SAYORAN
REYUUJI
RIYOU

[Wheatley was puzzling over his handiwork when he notices someone walk in.]

Ah! Excuse me, but you have any idea how to spell "Ryuji?"

morning

[keydomhearts]

Is that Ann?

[ Pointing to the one with pigtails. ]

night-time

[fullbodied]

[oh my god. she just,

laughs.

so hard, tears are coming from the edge of her eyes.]

Y-Yeah, hold on...

night

[youkaiwatch]

"Ryu-u-ji".

Why is this on a hamper?

[incrediblystressedout]

[Joey's moved her occasional dance training down to the Ballroom this morning. She's even managed to get a proper leotard and tights from the goats, making it a lot closer to her normal dance practice. She is kind of having to follow music and beats in her head, though. Byers, bless him, occasionally flutters around in confusion, looking for a piano. Not that his rhythm is the greatest anyway...]

[In the Afternoon, she can be found in the Second Floor Library, mostly playing games on the computers. However, she does eventually get bored with this, and finds herself casually gazing steadily into the crystal ball at some point or another, looking deeply into it from several different angles.]

It looks like a snowglobe.

[Just saying. She might also be fighting the temptation to pick a less dangerous-looking book in here and take a short vacation.]

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION

[foundfate]

[Well, this certainly is something.

He's going to watch her for a bit before he speaks up.]

Need a song to go with your dancing?

Afternoon

[improbablenotimpossible]

It really does look like one frozen in time.

[He agrees, as his fingers brush over the spines of books, but not pulling any of them out before joining her in gazing at it]

WEEKLY EVENT - WEIGH YOUR SINS AND BALANCE THEM

[foundationmods]

[This time, as the goats usher them in, there is the same setup as before - a banquet table, along with a bunch of smaller tables with a single piece of paper with words on it, along with quite a bit of scrap paper.

Standing in the middle is a rather tall man, with the same Red eyes and goat horns as all of the other summoned demons.

He waits until everyone is inside, and then speaks.]

Welcome. I am Allu, and I am the one who holds the item you seek.

[His voice has such a presence to it, dear god.]

On the papers each table is the code that will help you to find the second part of my task. Solve it, and we will move on to the next part.

CODE DISCUSSION

[foundationmods]

[For your ic figuring out needs!]

[keydomhearts]

Ansem?!

[goldenmaniac]

... why does our friend keep summoning Intense Grandpas...

[respring]

[ HELLO AND WELCOME TO WEEK 5 OF: MYTHOLOGY CORNER WITH SAKURA ]

Allu...is another one from Sumerian mythology. It roams the Underworld and terrorizes people in their sleep...part of its legend is the old explanation for sleep paralysis.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Well then, while everyone else is getting things for the next puzzle, might we have the final ball?

PART TWO

[foundationmods]

[Allu quietly sets up the scale when he gets it from wheatley on a nearby table - he inclines his head towards it, but says nothing.

After all, they've already gotten the instructions on what to do here.]

WEIGHT DISCUSSION

[foundationmods]

[Also known as 'for the love of god do weighing stuff here so it's all neat']

[rikuchi]

[ Oh shi - ]

...Ansem?

[ Then he'll turn to look at Sora, noticing the other's surprise too, but then looking back at the older male, frowning and taking into consideration both him and the puzzle. ]

The Murder Book Club!

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Another coin, between the flames on it, and where they left off, he knew it would be especially unpleasant. As everyone gathers in one of the bedrooms, he gets the coin ready]

Brace yourselves, There is a good chance that this would be especially difficult to watch.

[Aka this is the last chance to duck out before he inserts the coin]
