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.

A LETTER

[foundationmods]

[As all of you file into the resturant for your breakfast, things seem normal...except the smaller, short haired staff member appears, holding a mysterious letter - With a fancy gold "I" embossed on the letter itself.]

Attention, please!

[She waves the letter around, and when everyone's looking at her -]

You've all got a letter! I'll read it aloud for you, but I'll leave it on a table afterwards so you can verify that everything's just as I read it.

[With a flourish, she breaks the wax seal and opens it.]

Fellow guests of the Resort:

I'm putting my calling card out there so that you guys are aware - the "town" has eyes keeping a watch on you all, and that person is me. I plan on assisting you guys the best I can until we can all end this game for good.

You're all free to believe all you want about this message, though. And if the Jorogumo or any of the other monsters are reading this? Come and get me. I dare you.

To prove my information is accurate, please confirm this:

Buttercup and Timeless met on Monday of last week, privately.

That's all I have for now, but just remember: I'll be watching.

[And just as she said, she leaves the letter on a table, waving at everyone before walking right back out again.]

[justonezero]

[...Well, that just means it's time to see if there's anything to be gleaned with Math Eyes.]

[foundationmods]

[Haha nope.

Also, you feel like you have a migraine.]

[justonezero]

[Head in hands. KO'd once again.]

[diesifkilled]

So... someone's watching us all? Does that mean they know who the monsters are?

[xenoqueen]

Unlikely, given that whoever sent it just taunted them. Otherwise, they'd probably have just called their names out.

[diesifkilled]

Unless there's some rule preventing them from doing that. It's kind of weird that they specifically used nicknames instead of real ones, right?

[escardos]

Uwaaah, it’s like a spy?! That’s so cool!!!

[diesifkilled]

Is it cool if you're the one getting spied on...

[escardos]

Mm... I mean they said they’re from the town, so doesn’t that mean that they’re part of the good guys?? Then they’d just be something like James Bond, working behind the scenes to save the world!

[wrongtiming]

[Hm.]

Uh... Whoever they are, they’re telling the truth about us talking privately. [...] This is really creepy, right? I’m not the only one who thinks that?

[whirlingmace]

I don't know. I think it's kind of cool to know we aren't really alone.

[latebluemer]

Nicknames, huh? Where did "Buttercup" and "Timeless" come from, anyway?

[thejusticewagon]

I mean... it's nice if they're on our side? But on the other hand, I hope they're not, like, always watching everything.

[justfists]

A little, yes.

[dereban]

[ just going to take a glance at the letter and just-- ]

... Why is everyone in this resort fucking like this.

[ STOP TAUNTING THE MONSTERS, WHAT THE FUCK ]

[whirlingmace]

Maybe they should fight the wall, too.

[ The wall seems like a better idea than the SPIDER ]

[purrtagonist]

Stealing my schtick, are you.

[Akira says blandly, before his expression turns thoughtful]

Who are Buttercup and Timeless?

[rosebridled]

[ raises hand! ]

That's Hunter-san and myself.

[latebluemer]

Is this from someone with a role? Is there a role with eyes?

[She's gotten a bit more up to date on mafia matters, but the specifics and stuff like third party roles and whatnot still kind of escape her.]

[dereban]

. . . literal or figurative?

[ SHE


SHE HAS TO ASK ]

[jumpedtheshark]

Well... I’m glad they are on our side.

[Hopefully they’ll have more information soon.]

[dereban]

Are you really sure that they are just because they say "oh, I'm town, I am giving you creepy information, clearly I must be good"? I mean, sure, a role similar to this does go for town, but hell if I'm going to trust that this game didn't warp the roles or whatever the fuck.

[relentlesslyonwards]

[He listens carefully to the whole thing, frowning slightly during the middle of the letter but smoothing out into something thoughtful when the reading is finished. When the letter is left on the table, he pulls a notebook out of his jacket pocket and moves to transcribe the contents. When he finishes, he sighs.]

Good intentions or not, they couldn't have framed themselves to sound any more sketchy than this.

[dereban]

Do you even think there was any way for them to not sound sketchy, though?
