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.

[...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.

[foundationmods]

[They were not! It looks like whoever shot her was aiming for her chest in general, not specifically her heart.]

[justonezero]

[He shakes his head.]

No... just her chest.

It looks like her jaw was broken after she was already shot. But... why?

[What's even the point?]

[latebluemer]

I...

[It's a lot easier to look at the bits, though, than it is to look at the actual corpse. So she... contemplates the bits.]

They're on the edge there, right? Maybe she fell. Or they wanted to hide something else...

[Does it look like the doctor could have smashed her own face in or does it look more like something other than the fireplace did it?]

[foundationmods]

[Given the way her hair is mussed up on the back of her head, it looks more like someone stepped on it than her breaking her jaw in the fall.]

[justonezero]

...It's not like when Szayel died.

[This doesn't look like a monster's work.]

[latebluemer]

It sounds like it was the Cleaner.

[Because we’re listening in on the other thread while we deadstare at a dead body.]

I don’t really get it, but it sounds like the mafia leave behind signatures?

[Because monsters or something.]

[justonezero]

So it's not like someone just randomly decided to kill someone else.

[Small relief!]

...We should probably get evidence before they clean it up, though.

[whirlingmace]

[ HERE SHE IS with Roxas in tow! ]

Hey hey. We asked the staff some questions.

[ She can let Roxas share the news if he's up to it. ]

What evidence?

[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?

[foundationmods]

[A staff member can indeed be found!]

Yes? How can we help you?

[13thpromise]

Why was Yosano killed?

[ Because clearly they're going to answer that. Right? ]

[whirlingmace]

And why isn't there anyone over the loudspeaker announcing it?

[foundationmods]

[The staff member pauses for a bit, regarding Yosano's body. It's almost like they are trying to load an answer of some sort?

And then suddenly the staff member perks up.]

Oh! She refused to play the game, so the Cleaner took care of her.

[13thpromise]

...Right...

[ That doesn't make it okay, but he looks surprised for a moment he got an answer. And then he'll look back at Cinque. ]

That'll probably explain why there was no announcement.

[foundationmods]

Exactly! The Cleaner is fulfilling their role, so they will not be put on trial for this.

[whirlingmace]

[ So now they know what happens if they don't play... that's sad. She'll give Roxas' arm a squeeze. ]

This isn't a very good game.

[ She says it quietly... ]

Hey, Staff? Did the pretty- did Yosano have a role in this game?

[foundationmods]

She did not! She was a peasant.

[The staff member does not respond to the first comment, though.]

[whirlingmace]

[ Hm... ]

Can I ask about what happens to the Cleaner if they don't play the game?

[13thpromise]

[ He flinches, not seeming to expect her to do that.

Discovering a dead body is not fun, y'all. ]

No, it isn't.

[ He'll just listen in as she fields the staff with questions. ]

[whirlingmace]

[ Okay, she'd done. ]

I'm going to head back in there to help Blueski and Yoyo.

[ But he doesn't have to go back if he doesn't want to ]
