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.

[Having a sleepover in the lobby two days after someone was shot in the dining area is probably daring enough, but yolo and all that?! Which means that Rean is indeed here and in something a little more comfy than his usual attire.]

Haha... sure. I'm not gonna tell you to take it easy on me, but let's try not to get too crazy here.

[jumpedtheshark]

Truth or Dare?

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Tsumugi looks like a nice enough girl, so.]

How about dare?

[jumpedtheshark]

Wear this! Your hair isn't long enough... but everything else matches Tsugumi almost perfectly!

[Horrible choice Rean. At least this is one of the more simple maid outfits here.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Never before(?) has his sense of judgement failed him so thoroughly. Which is probably part of why he's just staring at the maid outfit like it's some kind of bomb.]

Uh. [............] You're not kidding, are you. Um, are you even sure it'll fit? I mean, that's designed for girls, right?

[jumpedtheshark]

Don't worry, the original body measurements were based on Kurusu-kun, so you should be fine.

[You know. Just in case the cat features come back and he changes his mind on his opinion of maids. It never hurts to be prepared.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

I kind of feel like I both want to and don't want to ask.

[But well, he can only delay the countdown to his impending death by so long. One last question though:]

You just want me to put it on, right? [surely she's not asking for him to wear it for the rest of the evening or anything.]

[justonezero]

[FOR NO REASON AT ALL.]

Are you ticklish?

[relentlesslyonwards]

[what is this ominous feeling that threatens to engulf him]

Uh. A little, I guess?

[justonezero]

Let me tickle you!

[SAID WITH ALL THE GRAVITY OF PLEADING FOR HELP BEFORE THE WORLD ENDS.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

...Someone put you up to this, didn't they?

[Well, the game is called truth or dare but still... he's not sure who this is more embarrassing for.]

Can I at least know who was responsible before we go ahead with this?

[justonezero]

Roxas.

[You can get your revenge, Rean.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[oh boy, it'll be revengex2 because of what he also dared him to do too. fun times!!

But he lets out a deep sigh and just sits there? What is he supposed to do for this anyways.]

...Well, alright. Ready when you are... I guess.

[he is probably not ready.]

[13thpromise]

Don't worry, I won't get too crazy.

[ Look at his innocent face. ]

Truth or dare?

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Roxas is clearly a good bean that would never suggest anything embarrassing obvs!]

Haha, I'm holding you to it. Dare, then.

[he's probs going to regret this, isn't he]

[13thpromise]

[ Innocuous smiling~ ]

I dare you to go into the kitchen, get two fresh slices of cucumbers and two small carrots. Then come back in here, lie down on the floor, put two of the carrots nearby your nose so they're like a fake mustache and the two cucumbers on your eyes. Just close your eyes right before you put the cucumbers there, and then start to swing your arms up and down like you're in the snow for ten seconds.

[ ... I'm so sorry, Rean. ]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[...Aidios, that's actually really specific. How long was Roxas planning this for?? Who knows, but honestly: he did kind of ask for it when he chose dare. Not that it's going to stop him from heaving a sigh as he gets up.]

It's one up from asking me to run around naked or something, so I'm thankful for that... I guess.

[Not that he sounds that grateful, but oh well. Anyways, here he goes!! Rean dutifully collects all of the items listed (probably giving a thousand yard stare to the staff if they ask him why he wants some cucumber slices) before returning to the lobby. And like a true doormat, he lies down on the ground, trying his best to arrange the carrots before placing the cucumbers over his eyes. Are you ready for this, Roxas? Because he also moves his legs along with his arms like he's making a goddamn snow angel.

This may not be the longest ten seconds of his life, but it sure feels like one of the silliest.]

[13thpromise]

[ This was definitely a dare that Roxas had been thinking long and hard for, so yeah, he had it at the ready. He kind of gives a little laugh when Rean sighs and stands up, but blinks at his words. ]

...Yeah, I don't think I'd ever do anything like that.

[ Asking people something like that, anyway.

He'll wait for Rean to return with the items, and watch him do his thing, looking kind of amused, and when he's done. ]

You did a good job, and even went a bit of an extra mile.

[relentlesslyonwards]

Thanks, I'm glad I entertained you.

[le sigh!! At least he can take these vegetables off his face now. Honestly though, a carrot probably already rolled off his face during the whole thing. But either way, he sits up and collects the vegetables before depositing them into the nearest garbage bin before walking back over to Roxas.]

So... I guess it's your turn now? Truth or dare.

[latebluemer]

Not too crazy? It's like you haven't been stuck with this lot for the last week.

[It's wry. It's so wry. They've lost some of their chaotic adult elements, but the teenager disaster vortex is alive and well and everywhere. As the saying goes: if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.]

Truth or dare?

[relentlesslyonwards]

Well, nothing says I can't try to be optimistic about this.

[Although his sense of optimism may or may not be thoroughly crushed by now considering he's worn a maid outfit and been asked to do some weird... thing by Roxas. This may also be related to his choice here.]

Let's go for truth for a change.

[latebluemer]

Ah, that's true. We'll remember you fondly.

[His optimism, rather. She's been watching various interesting rounds and slowclapping to herself in the background in between other bouts. But she's been getting more truths than dares to enjoy lately and so--]

But I guess I can have mercy. A truth, huh... What's one thing you've never told anyone?

[relentlesslyonwards]

[............sighs and ducks his head, covering his face with a hand.]

I went through a phase where I dressed up and pretended to be a loner.

[latebluemer]

You-- Wait, you?

[Her eyes are a little wide as she tries to picture this.

But he's so harmless and fluffy-looking! Like a put-together sort of nerd! Like a librarian and a fencer sat down and made an avatar! Or something, really, she hasn't thought all that hard about how to characterize it. But like, he was goth?! Like-- Like--]

... Like Vanitas-kun? I can only picture it a little.

[Amazing. She has one eyebrow and a corner of her mouth raised.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[he just. groans a little in response before nodding.]

...Yeeeeah, let's just go with that. There were some circumstances behind it, but... needless to say, it didn't stick around for that long.

[But there you go, Aoi. Now you know Rean Schwarzer's #1 secret shame.]
