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.

[ He's kind of rolling his eyes at the micromanaging, but after the disaster of last trial, he gets why it's necessary. ]

I've got no plans as of now and I don't see why it'd change. I'll be alone in my room.

[13thpromise]

[ Yep, that was fun... ]

Are you sure?

[dolleyed]

[ Shrugs. ]

Why wouldn't I be?

[13thpromise]

[ Part of him figured Kohaku would say as much, but still. ]

...Because it's the second week where things are probably going to happen at night and all that.

[dolleyed]

I have two guns and like a dozen knives as well as a closed door.

I'll probably be safer alone than potentially inviting some monster spider in.

[13thpromise]

[ ... ]

If you want to change your mind, let me know.

[dolleyed]

Have you not made plans yourself?

[13thpromise]

...no, not really.

[dolleyed]

[ ........

........................ ]

Well, if you're a giant murder spider, I'll shoot you. Otherwise, whatever.

[ He'll shoot any murder spiders coming close to you too. ]

[13thpromise]

[ That sure is a little smile!! ]

You definitely don't have to worry about that.

[ Kohaku you're the best. ]

[latebluemer]

There are a lot of different reasons to make sure you’re in a group on Thursday, you know?

[Jeez, it’s like an entire herd of cats in here.]

[dolleyed]

So?

[ Go ahead, list them. ]

[latebluemer]

There's safety, obviously. And then, the fewer people are alone, the easier it is to investigate in case anything happens. You saw what happened last week, didn't you?

[Almost nobody had a solid alibi and it was a pain in the ass??]

Besides, I think your violin could probably help us out.

[dolleyed]

[ All of this really does not mean anything to him (or he has counter-arguments), but then... hrm. ]

I have absolutely no interest in becoming a hint for future trials. Dying just so others can get ahead would be a pain in the ass.

...what do you need my violin for?

[latebluemer]

I never said anything about dying, did I? It's more like a group effort to make things easier.

[Of course it also makes it easier to figure out the dying thing, but she's not the type to think solely in those terms, despite being pragmatic enough.]

Well, so far I think it's a good way to stay up as long as you can, but it might have other uses too.

[dolleyed]

[ ... lame, actually. ]

You're just trying to weasel your way into a free concert.

[latebluemer]

[She's going to just. Raise her eyebrows at him.]

Oh, were you charging?

[You've been giving so many free concerts Kohaku!! A quick shake of her head, and then:]

But I was serious. If the rooms are soundproof, then there has to be a way to use sound like... a deterrent. Though your weird skill might cover the room...

[She's really just thinking out loud now.]

[dolleyed]

[ Those were practice sessions, concerts are different probably! Though in the end, they have no money here, so it's all just a farce. ]

It probably would take up all of it, yeah. No sound gets in, no sound gets out, no sound exists inside either.

Totally isolated music space sounds good to me, but not particularly useful unless something has sound-based powers and can be contained by being kept quiet.

[latebluemer]

[It's a super farce. Maybe he can barter with concerts, who knows.]

That means that instead of using something live, it's better to use a recording. [a recording from over 5 meters away, anyway] I've been talking about traps and alarms with Snake-san.

[dolleyed]

Do we have any good recording devices?

[ What do we even have or not have - Kohaku doesn't know how a fucking tablet even works. ]

[latebluemer]

Tablets should usually have a recording function, but I'm not sure how well they'd work with any other devices we might want to set up. Honestly, if we could somehow set up alarms for everyone...

[They'd be pretty easy to tamper with, but they'd be better than nothing, at the end of the day.]

[dolleyed]

The tech here is incredibly different from my world so I can't help with that, but if you need sounds to record in the final stages, I'm your guy.

[latebluemer]

I'll have to think about it a bit more... But I'll let you know.

[At this point she feels like even minor traps would be helpful. It's not like the monsters are, what, rats or pests or something. But it's the difference between having a lock and a wide-open door. (Not that locks help here, but whatever.)]
