Week 6, Friday

[foundationmods]

[As the morning rises on Friday, the house seems...quiet. Not quite eerie in the way that a murder might indicate, but there is a tension in the air. Something has happened overnight, but it's hard to tell exactly what.

To find out what is going on, the contestants will have to explore the area.]

[There's a grey one taptaping their way over! Seems like he was looking for you all, in fact.]

[iblistriggered]

[Silver waves]

Atsushi...! Over here. No cameras or mics in here. Is uh.... is he with you guys? [he points to the dead body]

[houndumb]

[DEADEYES GREY PRINNY but then he's always glaring at Prinnies, that's nothing new.]

Or if you've seen that MC fucker, he knows way too much about shit.

[resortghosts]

We all saw him after the game last Saturday. We gave him refreshment and snacks. He seemed pretty even tempered, in spite of his scary entrance.

[houndumb]

His entrance wasn't scary to anybody except the stupid asshole who faked his death!!

[He wasn't the one who faked it Nora.]

Well, whatever. There was a note about it... snail pie... what the fuck have you penguins even been up to.

[resortghosts]

He mentioned he had snail pie before.

[Flipper wave. Shrug???]

Since the mics and cameras are out in here, I can tell you we've been trying to make nice with site 4.

[houndumb]

Fucking weirdo.

[There's a tilt of the head and then Nora just nods. He doesn't seem especially surprised.]

Right. Alcor was sayin' something about the guards, but how many of the goddamn site staff are you feedin' at this point.

[resortghosts]

As many as we can. They're all tired from trying to contain the fallout from the game.

[houndumb]

Yeah, yeah, fine. If we run outta food in the House or the House stops feeding everybody we know whose fault it is.

[He's just grumbling because what's the point of dealing with faceless guard morale right now, they've got way bigger things to worry about. But at least it's just aimless grouching, and also:]

What kinda fallout are we even talking.

[resortghosts]

Support is higher for the 6350's than it appears.

They've been working to contain public opinion, mainly. And the guards are more reluctant about this than you'd think.

[houndumb]

I remember hearin' about the forums... Are you sayin' off the forums they're having to do security or are all these damn guards just sitting around here on their computers.

[iblistriggered]

Sounds like whoever's bright idea this all was is gonna have some 'splainin' to dooooo.

[resortghosts]

He is. He's making a fuss, but he's there.

[He sounds... sour? Definitely annoyed. A little upset.]

He's pretty upset he's still here but he's here.

[iblistriggered]

[Silver just sort makes a face] Well, that lines up with what Inaba told us about him, anyway.... Did he say who was responsible for killing him by any chance?

[resortghosts]

[A shake of the head... beak?]

I don't think he's going to cooperate anytime soon, but I'll see if I can try if he calms down.

[iblistriggered]

Ugh. Of course. I appreciate it, but don't push him too hard. He might do something stupid. [like double-die] Anyway, I don't know how much of this you already know, but--

[Silver will give Prinsushi a quick rundown of what all they've found this morning. The body, the bullets, the tire tracks, the info from John's office, the MOOSE...]

[resortghosts]

[Welp. That's a lot.

Prinsoosh nods, though.]

I'll tell the others what you told me. If we can do anything with all of that, I'll let you know.

[iblistriggered]

[Headpat for Prinny! Hey, at least talking to Silver means Atsushi can speak to someone his own height right now]

Thanks. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, but... stick with Marona, ok? And if you have to run, then go.

[resortghosts]

[Headpats! Not quite the same in a prinnysuit, but Atsushi still likes them.]

We're going to do whatever we can to support you all if we need to, just like always. You're not fighting this alone, even if we can only help in small ways.

[Flipper wave! They've got your backs, doods.]

[iblistriggered]

[Silver smiles, and for the first time in a while, it has some brightness to it]

Thanks, Atsushi. I... think I might actually be seeing some light at the end of this tunnel again. Just a glimmer. But I know we have to have the determination to make it through this, even in the darkness.

[odasaku]

To think she'd save him too. That girl really is too kind.

[resortghosts]

I'm thankful to her, even if he's not.

[He's not his Dazai, not yet, but...

He still wasn't comfortable with the idea of any Dazai dying.]

[odasaku]

...

[ oda shrugs ]

It's better this way. Someone once told me, "a life with someone to say goodbye to is a life worth living". Let this be his second chance to find that someone.

[resortghosts]

[....Ah.]

I think the one I know is happier, where he is.

[The prinny droops a little.]

I hope this one can find that too, someday. I hope he hangs on long enough to do so.

[houndumb]

Ughhhh, WHY. I was sick enough already of one of the fuckers.

[Hee just gets annoyed by Dazaifaces now?? Okay?? It's as bad as Akirenfaces and Saberfaces even if he only knows the reference for maybe one of those.]
