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.

[At least it's not a tinfoil hat??

But Blue Angel hears her coming long before she sees her, so once Cinque clanks into view she just blinks in total confusion. She's looking very -- dressy? Overdressed? She has to resist the urge to look around to see if there's an event she missed this time around.]

... Okay, so either Shirogane-san got to you, or you raided somebody's closet. What's happening?

[ Tinfoil hat may make an appearance later on. Also s'up! Get a hug! ]

Cinquey got to me! I asked the Staff if I could have their costume.

[You really should not put a tinfoil hat on that ensemble, it's almost as bad as some of the joke costumes-- yeah no, that's just canon. She makes a mildly startled noise at being hugged, especially by clothing that clanks and probably has pointy bits?! Oi.]

Hey, watch it, that pokes! That's so weird, though, but it probably explains my closet.

[She kind of had a feeling, but things have been so hectic she didn't think to ask about it.]

Whoops.

[ Yes there are pointy bits and wing bits. It's amazing she managed to get it all on! ]

Huh? Your closet?

[ Does she also have masks hiding in there? ]

There's a bunch of themed costumes that all fit this avatar in there, but I don't recognize any of them. There's also some clothes that look like mine, but...

[She's going to move Cinque back a little and then straighten all those clothes. A-clankety clank she goes, but at least she's... all set if she goes outside, for once? Who even knows anymore.]

If they're just making clothes like ours or throwing clothes that look like stuff from back home at us, that makes sense.

[ Clank. Moves back and pressing her fingers together as she smiles. ]

I want to see.

[ Come on! Let's check out Blueski's closet. ]

Hey, Blueski? What do you mean by avatar?

[She resists the urge to reach out and adjust some more to minimize the clanking. She'll just have to get used to it for now... Sooner or later Cinque will probably get tired of it and put something else on.]

Well, if you want. My closet isn't exactly a secret, but -- right now?

[She sounds a bit startled, but she'll let herself be swept along...]

--Ah, um, an avatar is what I look like right now. You guys have machines, so think of it as a fake body created by a machine. For some reason, this place put my... [...] my soul? In the fake body.

Yeah right now! Your clothes are always very cute, Blueski.

[ And she'll get tired of it... but it'll be a while. She likes the idea of her presence being announced!!! ]

Whoa. Really? So... what do you normally look like? Did it change your body type?

Edited 2018-12-10 00:05 (UTC)

Well... Thanks. I do like this style, it's just a little weird to wear it every day.

[It's totally like being in cosplay or clanking around every day. It's also a little more challenging to take care of than she would have anticipated -- which she hadn't, because she's not usually the type of person who would cosplay her avatar.

But sure, they can go hang out in her room with her outfits...!]

I don't know how much it changed my body type? [the boobs are bigger, but she's ignoring that part] But my hair, mostly. It's not this long or this color. And other colors, like my eyes.

[Also her entire fashion sense.]

[ Bigger boobs are good. They make for excellent pillows.

Let's go! Clanking on over there. ]

You could always ask the staff for other clothes, you know.

[ Case in point or mask in point? ]

[Cinque has probably used them as pillows, they're right there.

Anyway, clankety-clank over to the blue room, where the closet is in fact filled with all manner of Blue Angel-esque clothes... half of it, anyway. The other half is Aoi's clothes. Pastel minimalism all the way across the board, and she's mostly been using these as pajamas or lounging clothes in the privacy of her room.]

I have a few different types of clothes. But some of the outfits just go with this avatar better.

[Or it feels a little weird if she has her own clothes on. It also feels almost weird to still call herself an avatar after this long. Blue Angel has always been an extension of herself.]

I guess I could expand my wardrobe, though...

[ You know this is going to wind up going to an outfit sharing montage or something. It's kind of amazing seeing all the blue and the bright colors inside of the closet! ]

Is it hard with all of the wings?

[ Back wings. Skirt wings. There might even be hair wings or something? Who knows. This isn't something Cinque could ever be trusted to wear ]

[Totally an outfit sharing montage. What else are you going to do with all these costumes and Cinque's clanking life? Blue Angel just laughs when she looks from Cinque's question down at herself and then her closet. Yeah, there are a lot of wings and other add-on accessories. These things happen in virtual reality.]

Believe it or not, it's not usually a problem back home. It's all fake, and also... we usually either duel on the ground or in the air. It's not hard to get around at all.

[She's had to be a bit more careful here about getting caught on things, though it helps that the resort's space is so much wider than she's used to. Even in modernized Den City, there's a certain economy of space in all but the newest buildings.]
