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.

[huh, she looks a little impressed.]

Oh, not a bad shot.

[swordhandled]

Oh, Makoto!

Thank you.

[justfists]

Practicing in case a fight breaks out?

[swordhandled]

More like I mentioned this sword to Iwai and was curious about if the staff would provide it. Since I received it, I might as well practice with it.

[justfists]

What's the sword...?

Maybe we should practice together?

[swordhandled]

This is the Levin Sword, a blade that calls for the magic within you to fire lightning at your enemies. The more magic you have, the more powerful the attack.

But I would love to practice with you, Makoto!

[justfists]

[of course he gave a very long winded answer for "it's a magic sword". But she still seems impressed.]

Well, I don't use a sword. And my magic is nuclear-based... which you may not have heard of.

[swordhandled]

Not in the slightest.

[justfists]

... Hmm. Do you know what an atom is?

[swordhandled]

No.

[justfists]

Hmm... this is going to be more difficult than I thought.

[swordhandled]

Apologies, my world seems to be rather behind in a lot of aspects.

[justfists]

It's okay...

Imagine, the smallest absolute thing you know of.

And then imagine if that small thing was broken into millions of pieces. Billions of pieces.

Those pieces would be an "atom."

[swordhandled]

--an object that small could exist?

[justfists]

It's the building blocks of everything in the universe.

And imagine breaking apart something already that small, what type of force that would take... or make.

[swordhandled]

I imagine such a force would be quite powerful.

[justfists]

It's... very powerful.

And that's what nuclear power is.

[swordhandled]

And you're able to use it?

[justfists]

Yes, exactly. Now you're understanding! My friend Ryuji is able to use lightning magic, which is probably more familiar.

[swordhandled]

That certainly is more familiar.
