Week 4

[foundationmods]

It finally happened. Someone murdered, and was punished for it. After a particularly grueling trial, one much worse than the games ever were, everyone definitely needed the rest of the weekend to rest up. But now it is Monday once more, and that means it is time to get back to 'work'.

The cameras have moved again, and the contestants will need to be careful where they say what until their new locations have been revealed. In addition to that, the house itself seems to have changed, with its usual colorful appearance suddenly a bit more grey. Even the weather seems to be gloomy, with those storm clouds from last week starting to overcast the area, threatening to drop rain.

Seventeen contestants remain in this game of death. How many more will fall before the game is over? And how many more will be driven to murder?

[Gets grouchier in response thanks, also there's definitely a mutter of Maybe for YOU somewhere in there but. Continues squinting......]

'Course ya don't. I'm just waiting for the day we gotta have a game in the goddamn pool at this rate.

[inb4 Alcor just literally sets the pool on fire at that point, he'd manage it somehow--]

[visionem]

Or a game on the roof?

[ He would like to see a bunch of people get up here unassisted. Maybe that should have happened to disprove his trampoline theories. ]

[houndumb]

[OK but Alcor in a powerless environment you also would not get up there unassisted, possibly via trampoline. Honestly Nora’s picturing this by now and snorting loudly.]

There’d only be half of us up there.

[To start, anyway.]

[visionem]

Like the balance beam.

[ Just continues to be proud of this nbd. ]

[houndumb]

[Alcor what are you proud of. Why. Have a pause, though. Balance beam is kinda bad civilization still. Nora’s just going to occupy himself with popping up to the roof because excuse you this is his territory.

Also it means the curse might not follow him up (it will absolutely follow him up).]

... Yeah, yeah. That’s got nothin’ to do with it. Well, I don’t care unless there’s more stupid quiz questions.

[He seriously prefers the physical challenges despite everything.]

[visionem]

[ But who will be his next sacrifice to keep his hair floofy. ]

They are...ludicrous. [ There's a little punctuation on the last word, like he's pleasantly surprised he said so much. ]

Regardless, this is a poor way to test others.

[houndumb]

[Don't evaporate the House, Alcor, that may not be a good idea. Nora cocks his head and scowls instinctively like he's heard an unpleasant sound, but after a moment it registers as agreement and the scowling lessens.]

If I gotta see more math or chickens or-- [grouching forever but honestly he doesn't mind the chickens anymore, he's easily amused] --or all of that stuff. I'm goin' to set Dazai's hair on fire instead an' see if I can test THAT.

[So maybe there is another sacrifice.]

[visionem]

...I would be interested in the results of that test. I would be happy to assist you.

[ He's all for it. ]

[houndumb]

Betcha anything he'd try an' block any fire spells, but there's a shitton of other ways to make fire. One time we set a fuckin' shark on fire with gasoline and like... vodka? Pretty sure it was vodka.

[Fun fact: Rampant pyromania is apparently just a thing in his social circle.]

Whole place smelled like fish sticks for a week.

[visionem]

Vodka...how specific.

[ But he doesn't sound like he disapproves. ]

Something like fireworks, then. We can say it was under the guise of making a better "show" as well.

[houndumb]

It was a liquor store or something? Maybe they were just stockin' vodka that day, I don't fucking know.

[Brightening at fireworks though?? He's a simple dog who likes colors and explosions.]

Actually, I haven't seen fireworks in person yet? I heard they're supposed to happen at holidays and festivals too, but we were way too busy. And stuff. So Dazai-shaped fireworks sound like a good show.

[visionem]

[ The whys of vodka will be lost to the mysteries of the universe. ]

They are very bright, colorful and steeped in tradition around the world. If this is your first experience, we should make it a good one.

[houndumb]

[And then a star came down from the universe and made true fireworks. God. What kind of foreshadowing is this.]

Eh, traditions just make everything all complicated an' weigh things down. Just make 'em go boom and all the shapes and colors and that's good enough.

[He sounds so flippant about it but there's a brightness in his eyes; he really hasn't gotten to see fireworks before, not for real. It's the little things in life, really.]

[visionem]

Oh? [ Alcor is always curious, but it's rare that his interest is this tangible. At his core he's chaotic, iconoclastic, as much as he can and often does respect tradition and history. ]

We can certainly do just that, then. But I would hope it will be more than "good enough".

[houndumb]

Hahaha, probably will be. There's somethin' about just blowing shit up!!

[And I mean, that's a sentiment he's expressed since the last week -- chaos agent as he is, and as much as he just likes big and bold displays of both power and intent. No need for any kind of rubric when you're throwing everything into the fire.]
