WEEK 3 MINGLE

[foundationmods]

WEEK 3

Week three opens like the other two weeks, but when you wake up, you know there's been a change in the area. At first, nothing is wrong - but when you look at any window, you aren't greeted with the cheery sight of the outside - instead, there's just a cold, harsh blackness. Trying to leave out the doors is impossible, too - if you try, you just find yourself back on the couches in the lobby. On top of that....The Staff are beginning to act even stranger, their glitching out becoming more obvious. Sometimes, they seemingly go blank mid sentence and walk away, as if they were reset, and slur or stutter their words.

The weather is...well, non-existent, except for the courtyard, which is still pleasantly snowy. 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. Yet, it doesn't seem like you're any closer to solving this...

And time still ticks onwards, regardless if you're ready or not.

TUESDAY

[foundationmods]

[justfists]

[there is a lot to think over, honestly, and she hasn't explored the second floor much. But she gets stuck in the arcade.

It was her first real outing as a student, her first chance relaxing and experiencing what her fellow classmates did-- not focused on being the student council president. She gravitates towards one of the gun games, honestly. Join her?

But if you don't want to do guns, you can see her standing outside of one of the karaoke rooms, hesitant. The last time she went to a karaoke bar, it ended in... well, a complete transformation for her.

She might be willing to talk about it.]

Arcade

[duskhound]

[Did you say gun games? She was just thinking she needed to get practicing her marksmanship again. She hadn't had any chances to do it the entire time she was here, after all.]

Do you mind if I join in as player 2? I need to get some practice in.

karaoke

[dereban]

Are you interested in karaoke, Niijima?

[ There seems to be slight curiosity in her voice. ]

Arcade

[geckodad]

[The arcade's a pretty unusual place for a resort in the middle of nowhere. He had been looking around when he stumbles upon Makoto getting in front of one of the shooting games]

You got experience with guns?

[Iwai wouldn't be asking any teen that, but since she's a Phantom Thief...he figures she has at least touched one of his models]

arcade;

[13thpromise]

[ Roxas is in here at some point, though he's not sure if he's a fan of gun games, but he'll tentatively draw closer. ]

Can I play with you?

karaoke

[messianic]

[You know, despite everything going on here...

Minato's pretty excited about karaoke.

Holy shit, karaoke!!]

... Do you like karaoke, Makoto-san?

arcade

[jumpedtheshark]

Are you looking for a player 2, Niijima-san?

[She could also function as a player 3 or 4, but it's probably best to not over complicate things with hair power abuse.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[It's not too uncommon a sight in the early mornings to see Rean out and about in the courtyard, practising with his sword. However, this time the staff has kindly set out a number of tameshigiri targets out for him and he's slowly progressing through them, using a different set of cuts each time. As clean and precise as his technique is, he's out of breath after doing a couple, so anyone passing by might also just see him as he's seated at the firepit area and taking a bit of a breather.

Later in the day, he's going around the second floor and peeking into the new rooms. But the one that seems to catch his attention the most is the animal cafe and he spends the better part of the afternoon in there, sipping some tea and looking pretty content as he cozies up with the black cat that's sitting in his lap. While there's the occasional moment where he looks over and tracks what a couple of the other animals are doing, his attention always ends up going back to the cat as he pats it affectionately on the head. To anyone else that drops by:]

You here to check out the animals too? They've got a bunch I haven't even seen before...

[In the evening, he's strolling around the greenhouse, first checking out the areas with the edible plants and then moving on to the flowerbeds. He ends up pausing by a patch of red flowers crouching down to take a closer look. Someone close by may hear him murmur:]

I wonder if Fie would like these...

animal cafe

[dereban]

[ OH NO. . . this is actually really fucking cute so she is actually going to sneakily take a photo of him with the cat on her phone. Although when Rean calls her out like that, she immediately pockets her phone - thankfully, no flash means sneaky photos can happen! clearly Rean of all people won't find out, right?? - as she tries a somewhat relaxed smile. ]

Something like that? I mostly wanted to check what's up here to see if there would be anything useful.

courtyard

[tacticalespionageaction]

[Snake's been watching Rean practice for a while, hanging back, unnoticeable, as any decent spy could. It's not until he stops for a breather that he makes himself known, approaching him by the firepit.]

Was that the technique you mentioned?

animal cafe

[xenoqueen]

[Oh my God she's missed cats so much. Ripley is here, herself, with an orange tabby cat on her lap. On the table in front of her is a cup of Earl Grey tea and a slice of half-eaten chocolate cake.]

I saw a capybara. You think it's safe to have all these animals running around here?

[The cat reaches a sneaky paw towards the cake before Ripley swats it away.] Given the state of the resort, though, I wouldn't doubt that all of these animals are actually fake.

greenhouse!

[latebluemer]

... Spider lilies, huh? That's an interesting choice.

[It takes Blue Angel a while to wander her way into the greenhouse -- there's so much else to see, after all, though it's crowded enough and busy enough in the animal cafe (seriously, that place has got it going on) and the karaoke and arcades and everywhere else that the greenhouse is a nice respite in comparison.

So she's a little surprised to see someone else here, alerted when he started talking and drifting closer curiously.]

greenhouse;

[13thpromise]

[ The greenhouse doesn't look so bad, but when he strolls in, he's attracted more to the flowerbeds than anything else in here. He'll come closer, hearing Rean mutter to himself those words, and then look over at what he's near. ]

Do you know what kinds of flowers those are?

animal cafe

[jumpedtheshark]

[Tsumugi is chilling out in the animal cafe as well. Her hair is up in a bun to prevent any animals from batting at it. She's currently petting a grey cat and glances up curiously at Rean's question. It's pretty obvious what her answer to his question is, so she focuses on the second part.]

Eh? Which ones haven't you seen before?

Cinque and Yoyo (open)

[whirlingmace]

[ There's signs taped around the lobby and in the halls of the resort. There's hearts and bunnies drawn all over it.

FREE HUGS!
COME TO THE ANIMAL CAFE

If anyone decides to check it out, they will find Cinque in her red cat-eared beanie sitting at a table petting a kitty. Next to her appears to be a floating sign that says Free Hugs. Above it is a pair of shutter shades and bunny ears. Looks like she dragged Yoshi into something! ]

Hey hey! Are you here for hugs?

[ ((Note: Put in subject if you want one of them specifically or both of them. Dani will be hitting people up later when she's free! )) ]

[foundationmods]

[After the Cookie Gojira is done with phil, he wanders over to the table.]

Ah, how splendid! I'd love a hug from both of you.

[He is so fuzzy and soft...]

gimme everything

[latebluemer]

[Blue Angel's eventually going to wander over because you can never escape the animal cafe or the soft room for long; it's like the siren song of fur and fluff following you into your dreams and across the resort. It's enough to make you wonder whether it's the resort itself keeping you here, or the sparkling eyes of creatures like the cat on the table.

... She crouches down so she can pillow her head on her arms on the table, eye-level with the shutter shades and the cat and stuff.]

Cinque and... Nanashi, right? Do you guys really need free hug signs to give free hugs? Or is the cat giving free hugs?

[She's not really sure if you can hug a cat. She's pretty sure that gets you scratched most of the time.]

obvs both

[messianic]

... I was more curious about the animal cafe, to be honest...

[That doesn't mean not to hug him, though.

Please do.]

both pls

[dereban]

[ sees this



walks away as fast as she can ]

[tacticalespionageaction]

[If you catch Snake around in the earlier hours of the day, you might find him in the lobby with the puppy. He has scraps of meat clenched in his fist, holding it out over the puppy's nose.]

Sit- sit.

[That's the sound of a tired man. God only know how he's going to train it to phase on command.

Later in the day, Snake's out in the restaurant with a gun laid on the table. He checks it out, scrutinizing the thing, after a good few moments, he starts dismantling it to the best of his ability, laying each part out in order, giving each a good look over in turn.

He doesn't look too pleased with it, judging by his hnnrrgghhhhhs, but as he eventually puts it back together, seems it'll do well enough.

Which is why, soon after, he's up in the dojo, deciding it a better location than the courtyard. Silencer on - Snake's not about to break anyone's ears, here - he hits the targets with ease, despite the frustration that's on his face.

If anyone comes up to him, he'll stop, but otherwise he seems pretty absorbed in it.]

INVESTIGATION

[imstuck]

[Well

He probably should try to do something productive in his life

For once

So what better way to do that than to check out those weird guest rooms on the second floor. He is honestly pretty sure that he won't find anything useful but at least Ripley won't hit him with a chair for this. Probably.

First thing is that he's just going to look for anything off about the appearance of the doors.]

A LETTER

[foundationmods]

[Just like last week, the Letter comes embossed with a golden I, read to you by the smaller short-haired lady.]

To my fellow Guests:

I saw all of your reactions last week, and I would like to clarify a few things:
no, I'm not watching you guys constantly on the clock. Especially not in the bathrooms.

I sincerely apologize for any rudeness last week; it was not my intention to "creep" you guys out in any way. All I want is to help. And especially after last week's trial, we're all going to need it. I can't provide much information, but this is what I found out last week. Please confirm it with those involved.

Roxy met with Van and Blue Angel on Wednesday and with Yoshi Nanase on Wednesday.

Also, people were interested in a name to call me last week, so I'll give you one. You can call me the Inquisitor. You don't have to trust me, but please trust that this information is accurate and that you can all use it to your advantage.

investigation

[13thpromise]

[ After everything from yesterday Roxas needed time to take in the information presented to everyone and he wouldn't have been surprised if that'd been the case for everyone else as well. First things first though...he's going to be heading towards the arcade.

He's going to be looking at all of the games available with eyes as wide as saucers. ]

Woah...

[ Then, he'll be heading over to the soft room because he also wants to check that out.

...In a short while, he's totally tossing some pillows around, and maybe it might fly over someone's head or something as they're walking in, making him smile sheepishly at them.

Sometime after, Roxas can shortly be found investigating the library with Yoshi, looking for maybe if there was an archives/older looking part of the place, or if there might be some hidden passageways by poking at the walls in here. ]

Don't push yourself and don't go too crazy with - you know - on your end, but if you see anything I don't, just let me know, okay?

[jumpedtheshark]

[Today, Tsumugi can be found in the arcade, flitting around playing various games. She's also abusing the power of her hair, when there are multiple buttons or controllers, to act as extra limbs. It's not cheating, it's thinking outside of the box. Although, with her hair currently a shade close to Hatsune Miku's, and large parts acting as limbs, it wouldn't be remiss to think of a certain meme.

Currently, she's playing Project Diva Arcade. She's just finishing up an decent run of This Is The Happiness And Peace Of Mind Committee.

Later in the day, she can be found playing with some of the cats in the animal cafe. Her hair is up in a high bun, to keep it out of their reach. She'd rater her precious sweet innocent babies not get hurt.]

I wonder if they're like the rats...?
