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.

cw: suicide ideation

[guileturncoat]

[It's a good thing someone's holding Oda back, because Dazai just stands there, ready to accept whatever Oda would have thrown at him. No matter how deadly it would have been.

He's afraid, but the guilt is overriding that fear at the moment.]

[odasaku]

[ oda’s deathly calm now that he’s stopped crying on saki.

he can barely think about how she’s holding his arm. he can barely feel the stares of ellie and vanitas either.

he’s looking at dazai with dark eyes, void of any emotion—even his anger has disappeared into nothingness. ]

You better hope that I die before this game ends, Dazai. Or else you’ll be the first person I will kill once this is over.

[ and just to prove his him, he pulls out his pistol, shooting once. it won’t harm anyone, but dazai will probably hear the bullet whizz very close to his ear. ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[The gunshot elicits a scream from Saki, head snapping up in fear.

It was so loud, she scarcely feels like she can hear any longer.]

[guileturncoat]

[Unfortunately, Dazai isn't quite brave enough to take a bullet that close. So when Oda shoots the gun, Dazai's eyes go wide and the space around the bullet distorts.

It is a brief flash, one that might go unnoticed if someone isn't paying attention, but if Oda checks his gun it will be like he never fired his gun in the first place.]

[dereban]

[ That's... probably not good, but Inaba is definitely going to remember this, watching carefully. ]

[prayerwheel]

[ just. watching this. she wanted to intervene but she's power-nerfed and squishy as fuck, so she's on the sidelines watching this go down.

but that makes her raise an eyebrow. What did you do, Dazai? ]

[duskhound]

[...Well that sure did happen live on air.]

[darkremnants]

[ Shit.

He schools his expression to try to remain calm. Maybe... maybe Ellie and him standing there might have blocked the fucking cameras... ]

[scarsnstripes]

[Atsushi's running to intervene, but--

Then everything goes strange. He''s not even sure what it is, but suddenly it's as if there's no bullet.

What did he do...?]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

...goddamnit, Oda.

[Even through his grief, Moriarty hisses that out, low.

And for a moment? Just the briefest, smallest flicker -

He looks scared, glancing at the cameras before letting his face settle back into impassivity.]

[darkremnants]

[ Conceal don't feel, Crimepa. But he knows that feeling. ]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[NO, UH,

THIS FEAR IS.

He's kind of broken out into a cold sweat, though he's back to concealing.]

[darkremnants]

[ hmm... maybe they should have another chat.

not tonight though ]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[perhaps, indeed.]

[iblistriggered]

[Silver is still clinging to Moriarty, so he definitely saw that all go down, as well as Moriarty's brief flicker of fear. He glances at the cameras too.

His voice is shaky, but he speaks loudly enough for the mics to pick up]

Aha.... That was... a really close call! I think I see the bullet hole over there... he's lucky it didn't ricochet.

[mastersdefender]

[ Well then... ]

...Yes, same.

Thank goodness for small favors, right?

[iblistriggered]

Yeah... It's a relief. W-we don't need anyone else dying today...

[mastersdefender]

[ ...

Her hands fall down to her sides, in a bit of surprise. ]

[merirut]

[He's not saying anything, but he sure as hell is eyeing Dazai closely here.]

[odasaku]

[ oda does notice, but his expression doesn’t change in the slightest.

he walks away, not really paying attention to whatever or whoever he leaves behind. ]

[houndumb]

[... Oh. His one eye happens to be squinted almost closed in a prolonged wince as he tries to get to a position where he can do anything, because everything's spiraled so far out of control from whatever the hell they were doing before and -- he doesn't know what he was doing before. But it's fine.

Nora catches that moment and his golden eye widens briefly before he bites his lip, fangs digging in to twist his expression.]

[darkremnants]

[ This is the first time Vanitas is actually tempted to kill someone in this game. ]
