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.

. . .

[ raises hand ]

Can someone fill me in on any of the events that I missed on Thursday? I think everyone being on the same page would at least help everyone out on that front.

[ no, seriously, nobody told her anything ]

[xenoqueen]

[...]

I believe Akira went into the vents that day. He discovered that this entire building is alive...in a sense.

[dereban]

He what?!

[ That's actually a little louder than expected but then sighs. She swears, every time she sighs she is losing years off her life.

Inaba just pinches the bridge of his nose, annoyed. Why. But her voice is lowered as she pipes up again. ]

You know what. Sure. Sure. I'll just ask him the details about it later. And I thought youkai house could not get any stranger.

[xenoqueen]

Ask him for further details, but this just leads me to question the entire nature of the game.

[She sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose.] We also know from yesterday that the rats are being given human flesh to eat--specifically, those who die from this game. I feel as if the rats play an important role, and it's important to find out more about them.

[dereban]

Oh, trust me. I will.

[ She absolutely will, because she has questions. And also she needs to whack him again for doing more reckless bullshit. ]

Yeah, the whole thing about the rats is kind of. . . disgusting? Also, apparently if I'm remembering correctly, the rats can actually see the ghosts, too, based off something the Apprentice said.

[xenoqueen]

...Hmm. Interesting.

[Doesn't know what she can do with that information yet, but it's important. Probably?]

[latebluemer]

... How can you even tell that the rats can see ghosts?

[dereban]

You think I fucking know?

That's just something he said. Actually, let me check real quick what he typed...

[ She's not going to show the conversation because it gets real personal, but then she reads aloud: ]

"Things around here weren't as stable as they are now, so I ended up in my room or with the rats, mostly. They're pretty friendly." I asked him if the rats could see him and he responded with "They seem to be able to, yeah. They're one of the few ones who can, along with the Nue."

Basically.

[latebluemer]

[She's not all that nosy a person, so she'll wait patiently for Inaba's quote and stuff.]

So he was talking about before we came here, but after he became a ghost? I don't think it's normal for rats to be able to see ghosts, huh?

[Not entirely a serious question. But like, who knows, there's always a lot of superstition about animals sensing the supernatural. She wouldn't know.]

... Do we know if Appy-kun and the others are the only ghosts here?

[How haunted is haunted, exactly.]

[dereban]

[ She just.

Waves her hands in the air rather dismissively because she doesn't know!! ]

Add that to the list of questions to ask, but I'd say probably? I mean, he did say that he felt alone, before we showed up, so.

[whirlingmace]

And there was a lady in the vents! She waved to us, but she wasn't very nice! She was trying to kill Sataling.

[dereban]

Again.

What.

[whirlingmace]

I think Sataling likes fighting buildings.

[dereban]

I think Kurusu's just down to fight in general.

[whirlingmace]

Maybe we should give him something better to do with his time?

[dereban]

We could.

Have any suggestions?

[latebluemer]

I'm pretty sure she was also holding a cleaver.

[Just. FYI.]

Kurusu-kun isn't the brightest bulb sometimes, is he?

[dereban]

. . . I'm sticking a "you tried" sticker on his forehead when I see him.

[ IT'S WHAT HE DESERVES!!!! ] Well, at least it sounds like he didn't get hurt that time.

[latebluemer]

No, he was fine that time. But I still think you should give him a sticker.

[It would be great, and he'd probably keep it on.]

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . HEY. . .]

Are we going to keep throwing shade at me for this?

[moonlightbeast]

Until you do something else that is shade-throwing-worthy.

[latebluemer]

"I'm going to go crawl in the vents again."

[She does a mean imitation, in both senses of the word.]

[dereban]

Yes.

Because I wasn't able to throw shade at you on Thursday.

[ Also just going to attempt to put a "you tried" gold star sticker on him. ]

[13thpromise]

Yeah... he said it had an "immune system"?

[ It was so weird. ]

[dereban]

What.
