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.

[ Owain can be found in the lobby today. Unlike when he's usually out and about, he doesn't have any of his swords with him. Instead, he just has a battered and tattered notebook, a quill and... a G.I. Joe figure??? He settles down on a couch and just starts fiddling around with the figure.

At first, he's trying to figure out the various ways the arms, legs, and head can move. But once he's got that settled, Owain seems very... intent on moving the G.I. Joe in various ways. He can be seen muttering to himself.

And if you get close enough, you might hear what he says. ]

--numbered, our hero finds himself in dire straights! Without his trusty blade, Gallant Ignis Joseph must fall back on his first weapon, his mind, to determine a solution.

[whirlingmace]

[ Sneak sneak sneak. Sneaking around behind the couch carefully.

And then she'll hop over the back of it, not really caring she's in a skirt, to noisily land beside him! Plop! ]

Hey hey, Owain! What are we playing?

[swordhandled]

No sort of playing is going on here, Cinque! An epic battle is about to unfold!

[whirlingmace]

Oh! What kind of epic battle? [ Just going to lean in close to peek at the GI Joe and the note book. ]

[maskarang]

[ Tragically, he's not getting close enough to hear the murmuring. But he is gonna stand at his usual watching distance and... uh... watch? This is what he does, sorry. ]

[swordhandled]

[ he's... looking better! and gerome can definitely recognize the Manual of Justice^TM when he sees it.

[maskarang]

[ He sure can. The Manual of Justice^TM that he has never understood and continues not to understand. He hasn't actually seen Owain play with it since he got here so gonna creep closer as quietly as he can to listen in on this. ]

lobby;

[13thpromise]

[ Is...Owain doing play pretend?

Roxas does like playing games, so once he thinks that is a thing that is happening, he'll come closer. ]

A solution? What's the problem for the hero?

[swordhandled]

Gallant Ignis Joseph has found himself captured by the forces of the Evil King. He's currently held within a prison cell and is determining a method for his escape.

[13thpromise]

What're his options right now? Does he need back up to help him defeat that guy?

[thejusticewagon]

...

[she heads on over to see what's going on here...]

Another Owain epic in the works, huh? I'm excited!

[swordhandled]

I'm glad you're here to witness the daring adventures of Gallant Ignis Joseph, dear cousin! Our fated hero has been captured by the forces of the Evil King and must secure his escape!

[thejusticewagon]

Oh, man! Do you have cool little figures for the Evil King's forces, too, or am I just gonna imagine those?

[purrtagonist]

[. . . leans over and whispers, one hand pressed near his mouth]

Gallant Ignis Joseph should use his special psychic blast powers to blow his enemies away.

[don't ruin Owain's fun time, Akira]

[swordhandled]

Unfortunately, Gallant Ignis Joseph is not trained to use magic. He is trained in martial weapons only.

[ but he still grins at akira. YOU'RE TRYING!!

maybe ]

[purrtagonist]

[HE'S TRYING!! maybe]

Welp, I've got nothing. It was nice knowing you, Gallant Ignis Joseph.

[justonezero]

[From behind him, the narration continues:]

Instead of brute strength, he'll have to devise an escape! He thinks to himself about the overall stats of his opponents, the terrain, the temperature, considering every angle! Every option!

[swordhandled]

Of course! While he may be held captive, he knows that the guards that watch over him are mere henchman! Easily overpowered and are no match for his quick reflexes and strength!

[justonezero]

It will take all of his wits, all of his guile to escape!

So, he approaches one of the guards, whispering...

[rosebridled]

[ Oh, a notebook.

How much attention is he paying to it right now... can she look at it... ]

[swordhandled]

[ he's pretty focused on the gi joe, so anthy can look at it

the cover is well worn and in faded letters, she can make out "MANUAL OF JUSTICE" on the front ]

[rosebridled]

[ Wow, looks pretty dorky!

What if she were to attempt to lightly pencil in a tiny cartoon spider (because she knows you like them!!) in the corner of several consecutive pages to make it double as a neat flipbook of justice, how many lines would this be crossing ]

Lobby

[jumpedtheshark]

[Don't mind Tsumugi hanging around to listen to Owain's story. It's only when she thinks she's got a feel for it that Tsumugi speaks up.]

Does Gallant Ignis Josesph need an upgrade to his armor? His outfit looks a bit too modern day for the story you're giving him.

[He's small, so whipping up some tiny clothes and modifications to him shouldn't take long. Make ornate knight robes and maybe ask the staff for necessary materials so she can make a small epoxy sword... yeah, that might work.]

[swordhandled]

Hmm, his outfit is pretty dissimilar to what I envision him wearing.

[ he's pausing as he considers the toy ]

[jumpedtheshark]

If you give me a sketch detailing what you want his outfit to be, I can make an outfit for him... and any more G.I. Joe you get.

[Small detail work and small outfits are a fun and quick challenge on their own right, so this could be fun. Tsumugi is already mentally drafting potential designs in her head and it's clear she's starting to think.]

I could ask the staff for the necessary supplies so I can make him a small epoxy sword and shield too...
