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.

[Bennings is here with a whole pot of coffee. And he's drinking from it. Like, straight up black with no creamer.

He's just.. watching Phil and taking sips. Like this is a spectator sport.]

Didn't expect you of all people to be a midday salad kind of guy.

[imstuck]

[Yeah he feels that. No judgement from Phil about your coffee drinking at all.]

You know, it's important to stay healthy. There's only so many times you can eat a dozen donuts a day before it starts effecting you, you know.

[winter1982]

A day? Geez, it's a wonder you're still alive.

[That's..... horrifying, Phil.]

So, what kind of salad is on the menu today?

[imstuck]

I've survived with my good looks and charms.

[;)]

Uh... green ones.

[Yeah there is very clearly no dressing or anything else on there.]

[winter1982]

Likely story. I don't think those good looks of yours would do anything for the health issues that comes with eating that many donuts.

[(x) doubt]

No dressing or anything else?

[imstuck]

Good news for you then: I already have a lot of issues.

[Winks]

Yeah. Dressing has fat in it and... carbs.

[winter1982]

Is that really good news?

[He's just... giving him a concerned look? Phil?? Hello???]

And yeah, that makes sense, but you should still add a little more variety to it.

[imstuck]

[Winks.]

Eh, this is plenty variety for me. Can't even remember the last time I had a salad, honestly.

[winter1982]

[eyebrow raise]

When was the last time you had a salad?

[imstuck]

[Deliberately avoids eye contact with Bennings.]

A few... years...

[winter1982]

How do you go a few years without eating a salad?

[Unless Phil was like, specifically avoiding it for some reason.]

[imstuck]

Look it's a long story. If you were in my shoes you'd avoid salad too.

[Look out he's going to go get salad angst now.]

[winter1982]

I've got all the time in the world to listen. It's not like I've got anything else I need to do.

[Bennings crosses his arms. He's waiting, Phil.]

[imstuck]

...

What if I told you that for the past 10 or so years of my life, I could eat anything without any negative repercussions to my body.

[winter1982]

You sound like some wait loss scam commercial.

[imstuck]

It's not. Look, as I told you you would get it if you were in my shoes.

i still cant believe i said wait instead of weight

[winter1982]

Yeah, well I'm not in your shoes. I won't get it unless you explain, Phil.

hdu

[imstuck]

[Phil runs his hands through his hair, clearly stressed out.]

I was trapped in a time loop ok? Every thing I did would revert back the moment I woke up.

so awful, so terrible....

[winter1982]

[Oh, hm. Bennings definitely picks up on that fact. He also realized he may have come off just a little bit aggressive.]

....For real? Hell. [He... actually believes that. It'd probably be hypocritical of him not to, considering the existence of shapeshifting creatures. And him almost getting killed by one.] How'd you get out of it?

[imstuck]

[He takes a long pause and a thoughtful bite of his “salad”.]

I was brought here.

[winter1982]

That's.... awful. Like, really awful.

[He frowns.]

Whoever's behind all of this shit just loves to fuck with us, don't they?
