Week 2 Mingle

[foundationmods]

WEEK 2

With the nature of this 'game' out, the resort might not look so welcoming anymore. The staff are still ready to jump in and serve guests in any way they can, provided a request doesn't make them short-circuit, and the resort itself seems as warm and cheery as usual. But everyone knows the truth now. This resort is hiding some pretty big secrets, and it's only a matter of time before someone else turns up dead.

The weather is holding steady, at 'cold but still safe for outdoor activities'. The temperature seems to be dipping lower each day, though, and the previously-blue sky is starting to stay grey more often than not. Could that signal an approaching snowstorm? Who know. There is still music playing in the halls, and the cover songs continue with some low-key music for the week.

On Monday morning, another memory is returned to everyone. Another piece to the puzzle, one step closer to finding the truth of this place. But it might not be enough to put everything together yet, that might take some more time.

Most importantly, everyone needs to get to know each other. This 'game' is one of 'know your enemies', and your very survival depends on knowing when someone is acting odd.

[ ...Yeah he's here. ]

Something going on?

[foundationmods]

[Well, a body, for one. But it's face-down on the ground so you'll need to investigate a bit.]

[justonezero]

[...WELL THAT'S A WAKEUP CALL.

Do math eyes catch any vitals or, failing that, injuries to cause death?]

[foundationmods]

[Math eyes tell you that there is no pulse or signs of life.]

[justonezero]

[Bad.

He hangs back, waiting as the others flip the body.]

[whirlingmace]

[ OH! ]

Whoa! This doesn't look good. Hey, are you okay?

[ Let's go over and check. ARE THEY ALIVE ]

[foundationmods]

[DEFINITELY NOT ALIVE NOPE

The body is cold too. This happened hours ago.

The massive pool of blood under the body is a good sign of that too.]

[latebluemer]

[She’s going back to bed.

OK no she’s going’s to follow gingerly in Cinque’s wake while looking mildly constipated about it. Also whip is out, and she pauses to look dubiously between it and the bloody body stuff. She has no idea if summoned whips need to be cleaned. Bleh.]

It’s way too early for this...

[whirlingmace]

[ YEAAH maybe it's a really heavy...cold nap... in blood, right?

Okay, no. This is something she's familiar with. ]

There's someone dead over here.

[ She'll look over to Yoyo, Roxy, and Blueski for a moment. Then she'll crouch down and try to roll them over to see who is it. ]

[13thpromise]

[ .......

Yeah he's been real quiet over here and did creep a little closer, but also, pool of massive blood made him stop in his tracks. So, yeah... ]

[justonezero]

[It's cool, they can hang back together.]

[latebluemer]

You-- Don't touch that, you don't know where it's been!

[Dead bodies are bad?? This is actually only the second one she's seen but she's started to be braced for these things. Just a bit. So Blue Angel starts forward and she's going to loop-de-loop her whip around an arm or something to turn the person over instead.

Just.

Less gross that way. Also more sanitary.]

CW: gore

[foundationmods]

[In the DINING ROOM not the lobby, but still near a fireplace.

It's hard to tell at first, because the face of this person is absolutely destroyed. There's a broken jaw and nose, with blood and bits of teeth everywhere. Her clothes are drenched in blood, coming from both her broken face and some wounds on her chest. But it's hard to miss her black hair, and her gold butterfly pin is a key detail that will help reveal her identity.

Akiko Yosano is dead.]

[justonezero]

[With a blank expression, Yoshi will walk over, crouching to get a good look.

Any more details his math eyes can glean...?]

[foundationmods]

[He'll be able to see three bullets still sitting in her chest, since they didn't shoot all the way through. And given that one pierced her heart, that is a good sign of it being the cause of death.]

[justonezero]

[...Alright.]

There's three bullets, one pierced her heart. Someone shot her to death.

[whirlingmace]

I hope they did it before... [ You know. That would be very very painful. ]

CW: MORE GORE

[foundationmods]

[If it's any consolation, it does indeed look like her jaw got broken after she died.

Because there is some smeared blood and bits of face on the tile of the fireplace, right on the edge where it dips down from 'fireplace' to 'floor'.]

[latebluemer]

[It takes a few moments for her to mentally prep herself, but since Nanashi is there already she'll push herself to crouch by him. And definitely gingerly because there's bits everywhere. Eugh.]

... Were all of them aiming for her heart? It looks like she got hit pretty hard with something.

[13thpromise]

[ Not looking at the body because yeah. ]

...Someone just killed her like that, even though someone else already died.

Staff

[whirlingmace]

[ She'll walk over and snag his arm. ]

Yeah, isn't it against the rules? Let's go ask the staff.

[ Come on! She'll pull him along. ]

Hey hey, Staff? Are you guys around?

gore

[whirlingmace]

[ She'll stop as soon when Aoi says something. She's still crouching down on the floor. ]

I know where's it's been. Right here on the-

[ Oh that's not very nice. ]

Whoa. It's the pretty lady doctor.

[latebluemer]

[She's going to go back a step, putting a hand over her mouth and turning pale because yeah, that's. A lot. At least it was before breakfast, so there's less incentive to hurl at this point, but still.

Blue Angel's going to busy herself with the tablet. The whip is getting unsummoned immediately and she'll deal with it... later. Unless she needs it again.]

... Yeah. Yosano-san.

[She had to look up the profile to be able to tell.]

There wasn't an announcement.

[whirlingmace]

It also wasn't Thursday, right? Maybe this was something else?

[ Hmm ] Do you think she made the Captain really really mad?

[latebluemer]

[She's still fumbling with the tablet, uncharacteristically slow-fingered.]

Right. The Thursday rule. But it never said people couldn't kill on other days, just that -- it only counts as a trial murder that day.

[Which is also a really arbitrary rule, but there's some kind of realization there. They're never safe, huh?]

I don't know if it's the Captain. And we can't ask.

[Unless someone else dies on them.]
