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.

[His eyelids flutter, the "ears" of his BitPhone digitizing back into existence as he stirs.]

Hm...?

[He reaches up with his right hand to wipe away the sleep but winces - ow. Right. Puppy bites.]

[13thpromise]

You really shouldn't be sleeping out here like that.

[ He stares at the sloppily bandaged hand. ]

Want to try maybe re-bandaging it better with some help?

[justonezero]

[He yawns, stretching a little.]

It's okay. If anyone killed me now, it'd have to be someone from "town."

[According to the rules, anyway.]

You don't mind? It's hard to do one-handed.

[Especially when the injured one is your dominant hand.]

[13thpromise]

Still, you need to be more careful.

[ ...Those words he is now parroting back at someone else, the irony. ]

No, I don't mind. I'm the one with two uninjured hands, remember? [ That was definitely some snark, yep. ] And how'd it end up like that, anyway?

[justonezero]

The puppy from earlier thought I was a chewtoy.

[Ahahaha...]

Biting the cushion wasn't enough for him, I guess.

[13thpromise]

Did you just dangle your hands in front of the puppy or something?

[ Roxas has no idea how it happened but that is where his imagination went. ]

...Let me just see your hand. It wouldn't be good if you can't really move it much in a place like this.

[ ... Now it is him reaching out for Yoshi's hand instead of it being passed along. ]

[justonezero]

I was trying to let him sniff it first! That's what you're supposed to do, right?

[But he'll go ahead and hold his hand out. Once the bandages are removed, there's definitely some red from being chewed on by sharp, tiny pupper teeth.]

Then again, I've never been good with animals...

[13thpromise]

I guess you at least went in with a plan. But, it looks like with this guy giving some food or something might've worked better...

[ But he'll take it within his own hands, and yeah, there is some sort of warmth coming from his, closing up that minor injury. Now if only it was always this easy. ]

Just bad luck with them?

[justonezero]

Yeah, maybe--

[But then his hand is healed, and his eyes go wide. Hi, sorry, were you saying something?]

You have healing magic?!

[13thpromise]

...It's not really all that great, though, so don't go around yelling about this everywhere.

[ So plz not to be having a parade about it ... ]

It was just easier to do this instead of wrap it back up.

1/2

[justonezero]

Got it! That's so cool!

[Like something out of a video game!]

Thanks! I didn't even notice you had powers 'cause...

2/2

[justonezero]

[Oh.

Actually.

Hmmmm. He goes silent.]

[13thpromise]

[ He waits a little to see if he'll say anything, but... when he doesn't, he kind of looks curiously at him instead. ]

...We can always talk more about it later?

[ He doesn't know what he's thinking, but... ]

[justonezero]

...Yeah, we probably should.

Do you have other magic like that?

[13thpromise]

[ He shrugs. ]

We can talk about what happened here later on.

[ ... ]

It's a really common thing for other people I knew to have magic, though. What about you? Is that something you're familiar with too? ...Outside of here.

[justonezero]

Only in video games and movies! Magic absolutely doesn't exist where I'm from!

[Says the boy who can see numbers.]

[13thpromise]

But it has a lot of stuff like "Tetris"?

[ Funny how that works - to Roxas that sounds definitely like a lot of magic! ]

[justonezero]

Yeah, that's a video game.

[-Wait.]

You have video games where you're from, right?

[13thpromise]

[ He'll shake his head. ]

...No, not really. I didn't even know how to play one until I came here.

2/2

[justonezero]

We need to get you some games stat!

[13thpromise]

[ There's actually a laugh because of that reaction. ]

Yeah and it'll be up to you to teach me how to play too.

[justonezero]

Sure! Those games should have good tutorials, too. It's no fun if you can't learn how to play!

I've spent hoooours playing, so I should know!
