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.

THURSDAY EVENING INFODUMP

[justfists]

[well, Makoto looks tired, but she's gathering everyone for one last meeting through whatever means she can. Once everyone that's going to show does, she clears her throat and announces,]

We know more about the Outsider now, and what sort of man he was. I-- would rather not share how we got this information, but Akira and Minato can vouch that what i'm saying is true.

We know what he looks like, that he at least speaks some Spanish, if not more, and that he was part of multiple militia groups, one that he founded after his home was nearly destroyed by robots.

[she folds her arms.]

And that once he decides on a course of action, he won't stop.

[duskhound]

[That... sure is a lot of information to go through. Let's take these things one step at a time, then.]

We know what he looks like?

[justfists]

Yes. If anyone has any sort of art skill, now would be the time to put it to use.

[relentlesslyonwards]

Someone else would have to handle the drawing, but... would you be able to give us a description, then?

[13thpromise]

[ ...busting out more notes writing again... ]

Do you know what he's up to?

[justfists]

No, I don't know that. I just know he's stubborn.

[purrtagonist]

. . . not specifically.

But there's a chance that whatever he's up to, he believes it's in the right.

[a pause]

[and then a shrug]

[whirlingmace]

Being mean.

[ That's her guess ]

[jumpedtheshark]

Umm... Do you think we'll have to fight him if his course of action goes against ours?

[Just... a concerned thought that occurred to her.]

[purrtagonist]

[eeeeeeeeh. . . . . .]

Pppppossibly?

[messianic]

Well...

[He frowns a little, hands in his pockets.]

He's definitely the sort of person who expects other people to fall in line with what he wants as he is now. So... [SEEMS PRETTY POSSIBLE.]

[resortghosts]

that reminds me!!

when the barghest was killing me he said something about how i might have been the second best prey to the outsider?

:T

i think it's because i tried to fight back with that stunning app

[purrtagonist]

[. . . blinks slowly]

How does that make you the second best prey?

[justfists]

Wait... What?

[latebluemer]

... So he’s probably pretty good with technology, a good fighter, and on top of that, he can use the Resort?

[Not really a guy you want to be meeting down a dark vent, that’s for sure.]

What kind of last boss is this...

[That’s muttered to herself.]

[messianic]

[That gets an amused snort out of him.]

Definitely final boss material, that's for sure.

[dereban]

You guys have been busy.

[ Unsurprised, but she does write that all down in a notebook. Not going to make any comments besides that, thought just listening. ]

[messianic]

I guess so...? We all have to do our part, you know?

[SHRUG.... no big deal, clearly!!]

Hopefully, it's just able to help.

[moonlightbeast]

How did you even find this out?

[I mean. He's impressed, but curious.]

[purrtagonist]

Phantom Thief.

[. . . yeah, that's all he's saying]

[swordhandled]

You all worked together to get this information?

[justfists]

Yes.

ADDENDUM

[purrtagonist]

[also, speaking up a bit to add--]

He also has an old friend named "Jackie" who wants us to show him the error of his ways. Well. . . "Jackie" was technically a part of him, but-- [HANDWAVES. . . COGNITIONS? heart symbolism is complex]

At some point, "Jackie" transformed into a younger Ichigo. Which I'm guessing means he, at one point, saw Ichigo and "Jackie" in the same kind of light.

[WHICH. . . IS AN INTRIGUING THOUGHT, CONSIDERING. . . you know. murder]

[resortghosts]

[There's a faint, unhappy groan.]

[13thpromise]

[ Did someone say heart symbolism....anyway lame meta jokes aside - ]

...So, wait, then The Outsider is technically Jackie's...

[ ...Other? Or... well, nevermind, he's probably misunderstanding something here. Let's try to touch the easy stuff first. ]

...Actually, is there anything else we should know?
