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.]

Comments

[houndumb]

[Is it a compliment, really. He isn't paid enough to pay forward proper compliments in shitty life-threatening situations?? Spite is truly his only motivation for most things so coffee Prinny is truly the bigger furry here. Bigger... bird. Something.]

... That guy. Maybe we can send somebody else to deal with him.

[I mean, he isn't in kill mode anymore but neither of them want to talk to each other literally so.]

Hmph, there's only room for one real good magical spear around here. [Nora it's not the time for this--] Fuckin' Otete was going on and on about monster souls but I'm pretty sure he's related to the moose.

[I'm sorry that he can't coherently summarize information.]

[resortghosts]

[Admission then!! Because honestly that may be one of the nicest things Nora has said to him which is entirely unsurprising, considering their relationship.]

...If you're thinking of fighting him, don't. Tomorrow is apparently meant to be a test for you lot, so I'd suggest not attacking him unless you need to defend yourself.

[But wtf is this about a moose, it hasn't been keeping up with all these weirdass shenanigans happening on the living side??]

...What's this about monster souls and a moose? [How do these topics even relate??]

[houndumb]

[To be fair him saying anything nice about anybody is probably a sign of the dogpocalypse so it may be for the best at this point.]

It's just fuckin' tests, tests, tests, I swear I don't fuckin' know what they want with me on this stupid mission. [well, at least he's self-aware about being all brawn] If he starts asking us math questions I'm going to flip my goddamn lid.

[There's a loud snort but maybe he's pleased to finally have a topic the dead are confused about?? Y'all are way too nosy for being dead, or Nora is just Nora.]

Y'know that stupid hand down in the basement? It looks the same as that stupid moose soul, obviously. Something something human an' monster souls can travel anywhere... I guess?

[resortghosts]

...Rest assured, I'm certain the one thing he didn't underestimate was our collective ability to perform mathematical operations.

[Because at least they have Moriarty if it comes down to it??]

So it's some variety of beast... hmph. What do you mean by travel anywhere?

[Excuse, it is a free archangel prinny, it can go wherever it wants??]

[houndumb]

Can't you just fucking say DO MATH. It's not that hard.

[He's just salty about the amount of math they've had to do and also he's always salty about Moriarty even if he froze his ass a handful of hours ago.]

... Some kinda beast, I guess, it looked weird as hell when we met it. And it ate peanut butter? [he honestly doesn't know what to make of Otete except that his name is stupid] I mean, it's not like the hand was giving out a lot of info but it did show us an escape tunnel that we couldn't get through.

[Even archangel Prinnies would probably have trouble dealing with moose and cannibal hands?? OK??]

[resortghosts]

Hmph. I already said it, so no.

[And that's final!! Although that tunnel info is interesting?? Look, it doesn't attend all the meetings obsessively like some of the others might, so give it a break.]

Because of some sort of barrier? ...Either way, it's preferable to chancing the forest.

[Wow, that's just cuz it hasn't had the chance to try yet?? Let 'im at it--]

[houndumb]

Stupid stuck-up coffee birds...

[Luckily, this particular bird is always a feathery fucker so that handily covers everything. Nora also wishes he could miss every meeting but apparently this game wants him to run meetings too, this is why they're all going to die.]

It was all flooded an' stuff. Pretty sure Azura said she could dry it up if she could get to the other side, but we still gotta do that. The forest's that bad??

[I mean. There's wolves and guards and stuff but he's also Leroy Jenkins.]

[darkremnants]

[ Also he's here. ]

Who are we dealing with?

[houndumb]

Who do ya think, the OTHER coffee asshole. The really asshole one.

[Sandy's been dethroned in his absence.]

[darkremnants]

[ Looks like Sandy will have to try harder or something ]

Ah. I'll go bother him.

[ Maybe he'll give the prinny coffee ]

[houndumb]

It better be something useful, I'm already gettin' tired of this frog guy and I only met him once.

[Nora, you hold grudges against people you've never met all the time?? Why is he like this.]

[resortghosts]

[Don't bulli red prinny, Vanitas, you're just adding to the butcher's bill when he's a machine gun again.]

What's up, dood?

[darkremnants]

[ But it's fun? He now sees why Nora likes doing it?

He does offer over his cup of coffee to share ]

Heard you talked to Mission Control.

[resortghosts]

[There will be vengeance.

But red prinny settles down at the offering of coffee and drinks.]

I did. I had some questions for him. He might have been lying but... I don't know. The people that have dealt with him seem to have a lot of respect for him.

If he was being straight with me, and I'm interpreting what he said right? He's worried he fucked up by sparing Hoshi.

We might have shot ourselves in the foot a little by making the Host look like a monster. But it's still recoverable. He wants to be sure.

[darkremnants]

Ah yeah. His stupid plan to be the villain.

[ He has thoughts. ]

It sounds like he's willing to hear us out at least. We'll just have to show off his other qualities.

[resortghosts]

Yeahhh, it's easy to overdo it when you aren't playing to your strengths.

[There are definitely thoughts to be had.]

The consensus seems to be that he's fair. Which is why he's only getting whining and not pushback over at Site 4 about the double shifts he's had them pulling.

I think he wants to believe in Hoshi. But he can't just go on faith.

[darkremnants]

I'll do my best to convince him, but he might think I'm blinded.

[ hmm ]

Anything else you think could help?
