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.

Mmm. I remembered a mission as well. An infiltration mission, where. . . Rean? And I had to dress up as servers to crash a fancy party. Tsumugi was there too, but she was dressed up in a lavish outfit.

[a pause. Akira clears his throat]

She looked nice. Very nice.

[ANYWAY]

At one point, Tsumugi’s hair changed colors from black to light brown. I don’t know why, but when Rean and I noticed, we panicked.

That’s all I remember.

[messianic]

[why does akira get fancy parties when the rest of them get body parts and things wtf]

[purrtagonist]

[HOW IS HE SUPPOSED TO KNOW]

[AND WHAT WAS UP WITH TSUMUGI’S HAIR!!!]

[whirlingmace]

She is very cute! You have good tastes, Sataling.

[ Also she wants to play dress up at fancy parties :< ]

[purrtagonist]

She was the “jewel of the evening,” if I was going to be dramatic about it.

[a cheeky smile, but it fades quickly]

But I’m still not sure what was up with her hair.

[whirlingmace]

I wish I could have seen. [ Though hmmm ] Maybe it's a power she has?

[purrtagonist]

I— maybe?

It’s a question I need to ask her the next time I see her.

[jumpedtheshark]

Y-you too Cinque-san!?

[Why does everyone keep calling her cute!? She's cute in a plain way, but it's nothing special!]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[He sure remembers the staring... and that comment.]

You really weren't joking about that, huh. [A beat.] Although I can't really disagree with you, to be honest.

[purrtagonist]

[rubs the back of his neck, sheepish]

Do you think she noticed us starting?

[read: Akira staring]

[relentlesslyonwards]

Hmm. I don't know, maybe you should ask her yourself.

[Rean stares at a point over Akira's shoulder, like there's someone behind him.]

[jumpedtheshark]

Y-you guys were staring!?

[She was too focused on the mission and being annoyed at you two being useless to notice.]

[purrtagonist]

[whirls around to face her, snapping to attention]

No.

[yes]

[jumpedtheshark]

A-ah geez... it was my perfect copy of Relena Peaceraft’s dress that was doing most of the work.

[Still, she's flustered. There is a noticeable pause at the mention of her hair changing colors.]

I was pretending to be someone's important daughter... and doing all the work. You and Rean were no help at all!

[A huff. She better have gotten all the credit for that mission.]

I got too into my cosplay though... and my hair changed to match Relena Peaceraft's.

[No regrets there though, it was a perfect replica.]

[resortghosts]

TSUMUGI I NEED YOUR HELP

you're really good at sewing right?

[jumpedtheshark]

Well... I wouldn't be the Ultimate Cosplayer if I wasn't. What do you need?

[resortghosts]

can you make me like

a hooded poncho thingy?

that way people can kind of see where i am and i can just wear it over my clothes!

[purrtagonist]

[okay. . . but???]

Why would it spontaneously change? Is. . . that your power?

[and why would they panic!1]

[jumpedtheshark]

.... I guess I can't keep it hidden any longer, huh?

[Thanks Akira. With a pointed sigh, Tsumugi focuses. Then, her hair starts moving. It streatches and shrinks in places, changing color and texture. After flashing through a wide variety of possibilities, the hair color finally settles on a deep brown with a silky texture. The 'hair' then proceeds to wrap itself into an complicated rose-like hair style. She's been practicing. If she's going to be outed like this, let her show off.]

[whirlingmace]

Ah! That's so cool! You can be your own hair stylist!

[messianic]

[Whoaaaa...]

Can you do that with any style or color...?

[moonlightbeast]

...

[But can he touch the hair?]

[latebluemer]

[She's totally staring in awe?? Damn, that's cool.]

... You know, Shirogane-san, I think you're losing our race faster and faster now.

[relentlesslyonwards]

[!! He stares at her hair with a good amount of alarm when it starts moving of all things, before it's apparent that it's just rearranging itself to a new hairdo.]

Whoa... I'm guessing you've never had to pay for a hairdresser before? [Now that the initial shock is gone, he looks pretty impressed.]

[purrtagonist]

[holy shit]

Whoa. . .

You're beautiful, Tsumugi.

[just kind of blabbing that out without thinking, tbh]
