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.

[ When Kohaku heads up to the second floor today, he stops by the balcony for a bit to crouch down with the rats and watch them. ]

Hey, you little bastards, how's it going? Do we taste good? Must be nice being a guest of honor around here.

[ Despite the derogatory language, Kohaku's voice is friendly in the usual chatty way one may adopt when talking to animals. He looks like he's in an unusually good mood this week.

Later, he can be found in the music room - he's testing out various instruments (though not playing any full songs, just hitting some notes for pitch). Modern things like electric guitars seem to confuse him for a bit, but he doesn't have too much trouble figuring them out.

Once he finds the Otamatones in the closet though, he just slams the door shut again. ]

RATS

[whirlingmace]

[ Going to crouch down next to him. ]

Are you making friends?

[dolleyed]

[ He raises a hand in a lazy greeting for Cinque. ]

Dunno, think that'll make them put in a word with the chef about their menu?

[whirlingmace]

[ Raising her hand in return ]

Hmm. It might! It doesn't hurt to try. Or you can see if they'll eat something else?

[dolleyed]

They probably would, but the question is if they'd like it enough to shun human meat for it.

[ And said to the rats: ] What the hell are you guys even doing? That shouldn't be your main food source to start with.

[whirlingmace]

They miiiight. I mean, they are nice rats. Also maybe if we fill them up they won't have any room for it.

[ She is going to pick one up to pet. S'up, you're now Ratthew ]

[dolleyed]

That's so fucking stupid, it might just be worth a try.

[ He doesn't seriously think anything will come out of it, but this week is a good time to entertain dumbness and see where it takes them. ]

Can you cook?

[whirlingmace]

[ Do you think anyone would let her cook? Ever? ]

No, but it can't be that hard, riiight?

[dolleyed]

[ Worth a try asking. ]

That depends who you ask, to be honest. Actual chefs are pretty picky about it, but it's not hard getting the basics down.

[whirlingmace]

I don't think the rats will mind.

[ The staff was going to fee them sizzled medic meat. Meadic ]

We can check out the kitchen to see what we can use?

[dolleyed]

Sure can. I haven't cooked with an actual kitchen in ages, so it's bound to be pretty good already.

[ Just gross that the staff is usually using it. ]

music room;

[13thpromise]

[ Peering right in just in time to hear him slam the door shut to the closet...and just going a lot of ??? ]

What happened?

[dolleyed]

An enemy sighting.

[ Said absolutely deadpan and with gravity in his voice, though he'll open the closet a bit again so Roxas can take a look and confirm that nothing actually dangerous is going on. ]

[13thpromise]

[ .......

Judging by the look on Roxas' face, he doesn't really look excited. The polar opposite of excited, really. ]

These again?

[ Can't escape...truly the worst enemy this hotel could've bestowed upon them. ]

[dolleyed]

Are they trying to spite us?

[ ...................... ]

Don't answer that, actually.

[13thpromise]

[ Roxas' mouth opens - and then Kohaku says not to answer that, so his mouth closes right after. ]

Too bad we can't just destroy them, right?

[dolleyed]

It's honestly tempting...

[ Staring at the Otamatones gloomily as he imagines their gruesome death... ]

But having staff punish us for it would feel like losing to the things... Maybe if it looks like an accident...

[13thpromise]

[ That is so sad...alexa play despacito. ]

...Yeah, that'll be lame. Do you think they'd be able to figure it out if it looked like we didn't do it on purpose...?

[ The most serious questions asked in all of their time here... ]

[dolleyed]

I'm not sure... bastards keep popping up out of thin air, so it's hard to find a real blind spot.

[ Then again, if they did find one, that might actually be useful for the future. These are clearly experiments for the greater good. ]

[13thpromise]

[ Puffs cheeks for a moment before - wait he might have an idea. ]

...Maybe we can run around the whole place asking randomly for staff and seeing if they pop out of nowhere?

[dolleyed]

[ Oh, smart. ]

Can't hurt to try. It's not like they'll punish us for just talking to them. Hell, they let me stab one of them without issue before.

music room

[jumpedtheshark]

You don't like Otamatones, Kohaku-kun?

[What did Otamatones ever do to you?]

[dolleyed]

Is it humanly possible to like those blaring things?

[ Curious minds inquire. ]

[jumpedtheshark]

I think so, yeah. I've seen people carry them around at cons before.

[dolleyed]

Okay, you lost me already. What's a con?
