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.

Shouldn't there also be some sort of group wide strategy besides "don't panic...?"

[xenoqueen]

[Ripley puts her hands on her hips, frowning.]

I also said that we should try and find out as much information as we can, and we're doing that right now. But if you have any other suggestions, feel free to say something.

[She means that in a genuine way.]

[justfists]

...

[she taps her fingers to her lips, thinking about this.]

Nothing general, but I do think it's worth noting as part of the "town", our key to survival would be to identify strange behaviors... and more importantly, we should try to identify who we can trust.

[xenoqueen]

[Ripley inclines her head towards Makoto.]

I agree. However, what other people would consider to be 'strange' may just be people reacting under pressure or how they acted before they came here. It's important not to draw conclusions with little to no evidence.

[justfists]

That's where the second part of what I said comes in. The medic was a strange man, and probably someone who had something to hide. But that isn't what makes someone a "monster."

Unless we have a better way of conducting investigations, we will continue to struggle without having other ways of identifying the culprits.

[xenoqueen]

...Last trial, when we were running out of time, Snake and I were talking about whether or not the Jorogumo was able of disguising itself completely or not. On a surface level, it looks just like a regular person. But we have no idea whether it disguises itself perfectly on a biological level.

[She sighs.] Of course, we have no idea of knowing whether or not this is true unless we test literally everyone here.

[justfists]

I still think there is reason to believe that they chose Granz-san because of the worry he would see them for what they were.

So... it's a possibility.

[wrongtiming]

You got any suggestions?

[justfists]

Nothing that would work in a group-wide setting. Part of me also thinks there are multiple things we should be concerned with, though I do think we have a more... immediate threat, with the game.

[wrongtiming]

Immediate threat or not...

[He frowns, trying to think of how to phrase it.]

It's probably not a bad idea to say what you think we should be concerned with, right? That way we can keep it in mind, along with... Everything else.

[justfists]

Well, the circumstances of why we're here, for one. Why this is happening.

The other would be about the memories we've received.

[wrongtiming]

[He looks like he's thinking about the first two, but as she says the third...]

Right. What did you remember?
