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.

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!

[jumpedtheshark]

Of course.

[A smile. This way of talking... it only matches up with one of the ghosts as far as she knows.]

Let's see... is this Yoshi? I got a few ideas for you... unless you want to give me a sketch. I can replicate what you want from there.

[You're getting a Monomi hoodie otherwise.]

[resortghosts]

yeah that's me!!

i have no preferences! as long as people know where my head is

oh but i guess it's better if there's not too much on the head that gets in the way?

people like to pat me on the head i think but i don't want them to accidentally reach for my eyes you know?

[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!

[jumpedtheshark]

I could be my own before too. You learn a lot styling wigs.

[messianic]

[Whoaaaa...]

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

[jumpedtheshark]

Yeah, I can do any style, texture, or color.

[She runs an affectionate hand along her hair, which seems to wiggle in response. Her precious babies are the best.]

[messianic]

Imagine the anime hairstyles you could do for cosplay with an ability like that.

[IMPRESSIVE.]

[moonlightbeast]

...

[But can he touch the hair?]

[jumpedtheshark]

[If he reaches out he can, although that would result in the hair wrapping around his arm in response.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Welp. It looks like this is happening now.]

Tsu-Tsumugi-san!

[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.

[jumpedtheshark]

.... I know.

[A huff. She's digging her own grave in that regard.]

In my defense, I wasn't originally able to do this. I just had plain hair before.

[latebluemer]

[She's totally grinning a little now.]

Ah, but Akira-kun seemed pretty interested even before you revealed your power, right? I don't think you can use that as a defense.

[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.]

[jumpedtheshark]

Well... I won't have to now.

[Her hair gets more fond petting. So fond of her sweet babies.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

'Now'? Wait, so this is a recent thing for you?

[purrtagonist]

[holy shit]

Whoa. . .

You're beautiful, Tsumugi.

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

[jumpedtheshark]

E-eh!?!?!

[Just... adjusting her hair to lengthen and hide her face, thank you very much.]

G-geez.... I haven't heard those kind of lines outside of dating sims, Kurusu-kun!

[purrtagonist]

[blinks at her, then huffs a laugh, pressing his knuckles to his mouth]

Sorry. I just said the first thing I thought. But it's true-- you are beautiful.
