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.

[today, Akira can be found curled up in a chair in the lobby, his legs hanging over one arm and his back resting against the other while he scrawls away at a notebook in his lap. he's seated near the fire, soaking up the warmth of same as much as he can, expression surprisingly peaceful considering everyone's circumstances. or maybe he's just focused on what he's writing? hm]

[oh, right. also he's sporting a new set of fluffy black cat ears and a sleek tail that curls lazily around one ankle]

[um]

[hm!]

[dereban]

I guess we did need a cat to go with the dog.

[ She just takes a sip of her hot chocolate, pointedly not asking any specific questions about the new cat ears and tail. ]

[purrtagonist]

[those ears on his head sure are twitching when she speaks. like they're actually picking up sound. like they're actually real]

Can't have cats versus dogs without at least one cat.

[Akira replies evenly without looking up from his notebook]

[dereban]

Well, if that war happens, I'll place all my bets on the dog winning.

[ Although taking a mental note that those cat ears are sure doing a thing. Also going to make an attempt to peer at his notebook not so subtly to see what he's doing there. ]

[whirlingmace]

[ So she's playing dress up again, but this time without all the armor! She is wearing Akira's mask, gloves, and shirt thing with her skirt and knee high boots.

When she sees him, she'll run at full speed at him. ]

Banzai!

[ Just going to leap at him and the couch for a tackle hug!]

1/2

[purrtagonist]

[HHHHHHOLY SHIT]

[purrtagonist]

[. . . anyway her jumping onto his lap sends his notebook flying, so BE PROUD OF YOURSELF CINQUE. they are not a pile of haphazard limbs on the chair, with Akira's face pressed into the back cushion. his tail flicks back and forth in agitation]

C-Cinque-san. . .!

[whirlingmace]

[ RIP NOTEBOOK you will be remembered... later maybe.

She beams a bright smile. ]

Hey hey, Sataling. Are you playing dress up?

[ She's not moving and is already reaching to touch one of those ears ]

[messianic]

[Obviously, Minato is going to come right on over and lean over to peer at the ears.

ARE THESE

REAL

Sorry about your personal space, Akira.]

[purrtagonist]

[PERSONAL. . . SPACE. . .]

[Akira leans back as Minato leans in, but only enough so that he can catch the other wild card's gaze with his own. he stares back, expression empty and neutral, before he just. . . reaches up]

[and tweaks one of the ears]

[which twitches as he does so]

[sooo yeah they're real]

[messianic]

[Huh.......

Minato blinks slowly... and then shrugs, sitting on one of the arms of the chair so he's like. Not sitting in Akira's lap. That would be weird.]

I shouldn't be surprised you managed something like that...

They're cute.

[KITTY EARS!!]

lobby;

[13thpromise]

...Are the ears and tail real?

[ He can't believe what he's seeing here... ]

[purrtagonist]

[IT CERTAINLY IS. . . A THING]

I don't do things halfway.

[yes]

[13thpromise]

Wait, so...you did this? Did you just grow them somehow?!

[ Maybe that might be a bit too much, but that's where his imagination went. ]

CATTE

[moonlightbeast]

[...Well this is a thing.]

Ah. So I see Satan is a cat. So good to have my suspicions confirmed.

[He says that so flatly, but he is also clearly holding back a snicker.]

[purrtagonist]

[holds up a hand next to his chin, like a cat paw]

Nyahahaha.

That's my demonic laugh.

[he's channeling Mona, here]

[moonlightbeast]

[Oh my god

Yeah, Atsushi is putting a hand in front of his mouth to cover up a laugh.]

S-sounds absolutely terrifying.

[justonezero]

[Just

stares.....]

That's not a BitPhone, is it?

[purrtagonist]

[blinks. slowly]

Nnnno?

[he isn't sure what a BitPhone is, actually]

[rosebridled]

[ ................

may she touch them ]

[purrtagonist]

[YES SHE MAY]

[they are fluffy and soft and feel like fur. and they twitch]

Careful, they're sensitive.

the lobby

[jumpedtheshark]

A-a Nekomimi!?

[There is a slight squeal in Tsumugi's voice. Sorry, she's totally now planning on trying to convince Akira to try on a maid outfit now, among other things. With an expression of barely restrained glee and glint in her eye she approaches Akira.]

Kurusu-kun, have you ever considered cosplay?

[It's really unfortunate this happened the day Tsumugi got materials. Akira, run.]

[purrtagonist]

[THINGS HE DID NOT FORESEE: THIS]

Technically, I cosplay every day for my job.

[you know]

[phantom thief]

[diesifkilled]

...Do I want to know why you have cat ears.

[purrtagonist]

That depends. Would you accept "aesthetic" as an answer?
