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.

[ The last few days have been... unpleasant. There's been a lot of new revelations and not a single one of them has been pleasant. If anyone's been paying attention to him this week, he's been staring at his violin without playing it an awful lot. This morning he's doing the same, sitting in the lobby, looking gloomy. Only this time, he speaks up to anyone who comes by. ]

Hey, you. Have you noticed anything off about your stuff since coming here? Or yourself, for that matter.

[ In the early afternoon, you'll find him in the chapel, playing his music there. Once more the radius around him is all black and white. This time the song is melancholy and fragile.

And then even later in the day, if you pass by in front of his room, you can see a rubber chicken fly out of it and hit the opposing wall with a pathetic SQUEAK. Uh... bye? ]

in front of his room;

[13thpromise]

[ Dude, what are you even doing...

Roxas will pick up the rubber chicken and kind of squeeze it repeatedly because he's curious, probably not helping with preventing there being a squeaking noise. A lot of squeaking noises.

...And THEN he'll peer to see if Kohaku is in his room. Was he looking for a playmate or having a tantrum, he wonders? ]

[dolleyed]

[ Roxas doesn't need to check if Kohaku is in his room because at the repeated squeaking, he's coming out of it. He looks pissed, but normal levels of pissed not 'I am going to try and stab all of the staff' pissed. ]

Could you stop that?

1/2

[13thpromise]

...

[ squeaks it again but quieter ]

2/2

[13thpromise]

Why did you throw it out?

[dolleyed]

[ I hope the audible gritting of teeth that comes from Kohaku at the squeak is worth it. I really hope it is. ]

The better question is, why did I even get it in the first place?

[13thpromise]

[ Sorry he's like this - sometimes when you tell a kid not to do something...they feel even more compelled to do the thing. ]

...Maybe the staff thought you liked chickens? Or they thought it was funny to give you a fake one.

[ The latter seems more likely now that he thinks about it. ]

Lobby

[geckodad]

...if you're askin' that then you noticed somethin' about yourself.

[Hm, what's going on, Kohaku?]

[dolleyed]

You're nosy.

[ That's... not an answer. ]

[geckodad]

Says the guy asking others about changes in their belongings or themselves.

[dolleyed]

[ ........ ]

Fair point.

[ And here's a sigh. ]

Remember how I said headaches alert me of zombies and you presumably didn't believe me? I'm starting to wonder if I'm really only free of that because there's no zombies or if they just took away what made me feel it.

chapel

[messianic]

[In truth? Minato loves music. He loves music so, so much...that hearing something so beautiful draws him closer...though he has enough respect to at least not interfere with his playing.

Minato's quiet, hanging just outside of that radius, while he listens to the music.

Ahh....]

[dolleyed]

[ Minato's presence is acknowledged and accepted. Kohaku only gives him a look as he keeps playing, then sinks back into the song. And another song after it, because Kohaku likes to play and Minato seems to like listening, so there's really no reason to rush for a finish here.

After that... ]

Are you also sick of the stuff they're playing in the resort all day?

[messianic]

Mm... a little. But really, it's more like...

[Contemplatively:]

It's always nice to hear something played by someone who loves to play, you know?

[dolleyed]

If the person playing is not putting their all into it, music isn't worth much.

[ Definite confirmation of love here. Violin appreciation is 24/7. ]

Chapel

[justonezero]

[Yoshi just stands outside, listening quietly as Kohaku plays.]

[dolleyed]

[ That is.. definitely not noticed by Kohaku, who literally can't hear a single thing while he's playing.

Is Yoshi still there when he eventually comes out? ]

[justonezero]

[He sure is! He gets up from his place leaning on the wall.]

That was really beautiful!

[dolleyed]

[ After their run-in at the end of last week, Kohaku's significantly calmed down about Yoshi (largely because there turned out to be way bigger problems to freak out about), but still... ]

You could've just come in, you know?

room

[rosebridled]

[ lmfao YOU KEEP GIVING ME SUCH GREAT ICON OPPORTUNITIES

Pokes her head in the door and holds up the chicken... ]

Is this yours, Kohaku-san?

[dolleyed]

[ Utena truly has an image for EVERYTHING... ]

[ Kohaku's standing in the middle of the room, looking irritated but not dramatically so. Irritated is his normal state of being anyway. ]

Apparently it's supposed to be, but I wish it wasn't.

[rosebridled]

Oh. Was this the best way of throwing it away?

[ Like, was it cursed or something... you have a trash can, right... ]

[dolleyed]

Uh...

[ Don't make him think about being logical now?? ]

Probably not? It was kind of satisfying though...... before it squeaked again.

Lobby

[jumpedtheshark]

Have you?

[That's not an answer Tsumugi.]

[dolleyed]

You get three fucking guesses, which is pretty generous for such a stupid question.

[ Which apparently nobody is willing to simply answer! Why! ]
