Week 3 Mingle

[foundationmods]

The last week has brought the first spilled blood. Three of the contestants are gone, with the promise of more to fall soon. The atmosphere around the house will start to get heavy around Wednesday, which is when the first game of the week is. It's almost like the house knows something is up...

The conspiracy is beginning to unravel. Dazai isn't Dazai, and the cracks are forming in his act. But that act must be held up, or the Foundation will be brought in to take control of the game. Now everyone must play the part and act like everything is normal, at least on camera. That stress of always performing is bound to make someone crack eventually.

Once again, the cameras and microphones change. The contestants will have to search out new spots for their secret conversations. Even one wrong step, one wrong word, and it's all over for this group. Everyone is watching, and they need to play their roles.

They better keep an eye out too, because storm clouds are starting to loom over the area, both figuratively and literally.

GAME TIME

[foundationmods]

[Once again, everyone is invited to the studio. When they take their seats, George and Ozaki's spots now contain only flowers, much like Azula's.

When Dazai walks out on stage, it is not with the usual energy he has for these presentations. No, he seems pretty somber as he walks out, with the smile only appearing on his face once he is front and center. With all the characters have learned in the past two and a half weeks, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Dazai is acting right now. The surprising part instead is how blatantly he lets his feelings show, up until the moment he throws on that smile.]

Aaah, good, you all made it.

[His tone lacks the usual energy it has as well.]

Originally I had a nice set of puzzles for you all to complete, but the Foundation doesn't appreciate my brand of humor I guess. They vetoed it, and gave me something else for all of you to play instead.

[The prinnies have small wristbands for everyone to wear. They are all currently green in color.]

Everyone will need to wear these for the duration of the game. Today we will be playing infection. Now don't worry, you won't actually be getting sick with anything! It's just for pretend, after all.

As soon as the game starts, two of you will randomly be marked as 'infected'. If you are 'infected at the end of the game, then you will be executed.

But not to worry! This infection won't stay with anyone permanently. Any time two people touch, their infection status will switch. So if A and B give each other a high-5, and A is infected while B is clean, then B will become infected while A will be clean. The goal is to ensure that you are not infected by the end of the game. Your wristbands will track your infection status automatically too.

Any touch will switch two people's infection status, and if three or more touch at the same time then it will be randomly switched among the group. And while the game of infection is going on, we will be playing some other games too. So! Be careful about who you touch here~

And before anyone asks, no, I cannot become infected. Nor can any prinnies. Only people wearing the wristbands are included in that part of the game.

-----

((OOC: We will be keeping track of infection switches via flatview order of comments. In order to keep better track of who is touching who, your comment header must include the word "touch" in it. If you do not include that in your comment header, then the touch won't count and the switch won't happen!

The 'touch' comments can start as of this comment, and will end with an ending comment at around 9 PM EST. 'touch' comments made after that ending comment won't count towards the game.

Headers will go up for the mini-games, and there will also be a 'general conversation header too. If you have any questions about the infection game, please ask on the 'mod questions' discord channel and we will clarify!))

Reaction/general comments thread

[foundationmods]

[This is for talking/touching outside of mini-games.]

ONE MORE THING

[foundationmods]

[Everyone's powers are turned off for the duration of the infection game.]

[darkremnants]

[ Just making a face. ]

[failsaw]

I know you're all horny idiots, but don't fuckin' touch each other unless you have to.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Oh...

Saki's hand goes to her mouth, like she has to forcibly hold back a sound.]

[duskhound]

...So two people are guaranteed to die... Looks like the Foundation's decided stop pretending that it's possible for everyone to live.

[arraignments]

[ Oh....... fun...

Looking around at everyone else's wrists before looking down at his own wrist, once the thing is on... ]

[dereban]

This game, huh. . .

[ she's heard about it before but never actually played it ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen raises her hand.]

Can one of us volunteer to be infected?

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Moriarty seems impassive - but he closes his eyes, nodding.]

It appears that there will be a death, despite anything we would have wished....hmph. How desperate is the Foundation?

[He shakes his head, fingering at the bracelet.]

Very well. I assume we'll also be risking death as we play, as always.

[darkova]

It would be kinder to just take someone behind the studio to shoot like a beast.

Twister Reaction

[darkremnants]

[ Vanitas is just sitting on the floor now, watching it as a distraction. Look, when you felt what unversed you had out just cut off like that as well as a complete disconnect from the pain and darkness you usually feel, it's weird and he really doesn't know what to do.

So focusing on people playing Twister. ]

Do people really have fun playing this?

[ when death isn't on the line ]

Minigame 1 - twister

[foundationmods]

Alright everyone! This first game needs at least four volunteers, but any number of people above four can play as well.

[And suddenly there's a giant fukken twister mat on the board, and Dazai has the spinner.]

I will spin this spinner, and it will tell me a body part and a color. You have to touch that body part to that color without falling down, and keep it there until that body part gets spun for another color. If you fall down, you're out. Last person remaining wins.

Our winner will get the following prize: they will be 'clean' of infection at the moment they win. If they were infected, the infection will be randomly given to someone else. If they were already clean, they stay clean. But either way, their status as 'clean' at that exact moment will be guaranteed. So if you win and don't touch anyone else, you're safe from dying! Now, who's all in this game?

[breadloaf]

Me me!

[darkova]

[Without powers his only advantage is his flexibility. So-]

I'll go.

[scarsnstripes]

Um.... I guess I can volunteer?

[prayerwheel]

[ raises hand ]

[arraignments]

I'm in.

[houndumb]

Huh. I've heard of this game. It's a game of endurance, right?!

[In a manner of speaking......]

[duskhound]

...I'll... join in, too.

[guileturncoat]

Alright, the seven of you then!

[This board is laid out on the ground. Yes, there are only six dots of each color.]

Sharing dots is permitted, so long as the majority of your hand or foot is on the color.

[State the number of the dot your character is going for in your tag. If two people go for the same dot, I'll follow up the latter of the two comments with one saying it counts as a touch.]

So...first one is right hand on green!

i just got home but since she would've...

[mastersdefender]

[ She raised her hand to volunteer, but opening her mouth, but oops she was too late for this one, so she'll just look on, watching the others and cheering them on until the next one, apparently. ]

Minigame 2 - CHICKEN

[foundationmods]

[Next up is the balance beam! Surprisingly, it's long enough for everyone to be on it if they want.]

This one is simple: get up on the beam, and be the last one to fall of. Grabbing people, shoving them off, knocking them off, dragging someone with you when you fall, that's all legal Just be careful not to fall of yourself!

GAME END (cw: needles, suffocation)

[guileturncoat]

[ After a rousing game of 'throw shit at people' Dazai manages to recover from getting bullied and straighten himself up.]

I'm glad everyone had fun! But unfortunately, I must remind you of something: this is a game of infection, after all. And it's time to see who meets their end today.

[Everyone's bracelets remain green, except for two.

Ellie's turns yellow. Then Mitsuru's does. Then Azura's. Then everyone's bracelets briefly flash yellow, but everyone's turns back to green except for Atsushi's. Then the color change finally stops at Akechi.

Ingway's turns red, but that red then flashes over to Azura. Then to Nora, then to Mitsuru, which is where it finally stops.

Abruptly, the sound of something metallic moving can be heard, and both Akechi and Mitsuru will feel something from the bracelets poke them in the wrist. Within seconds, they will feel short of breath and unable to keep themselves upright.]

Turbocurarine should make for a relatively painless death. It shuts down the respiratory muscles within a minute. It's the best I can do in this situation.

...I'm sorry.
