WEEK 4 MINGLE

The weekend that just passed was....frankly, a lot. Yet despite all odds, you somehow pulled out a win from the jaws of utter defeat. As you wake up feeling tired but happy, the speakers crackle to life with the voice of The Lady.
"Attention, Guests. This week, The game is temporarily suspended. This week, there will be no mafia kill. Take a break for your hard work."
And...indeed, it seems like this is a peace week. The Staff, after the disappearance of The Captain, are acting worse than they did last week - not only is there the blankness and the stuttering, but sometimes they even get orders wrong, with potentially hazardous results. Asking the Staff for things has become more dangerous and unreliable, but at least you meals are still good. Speaking of, The Chef has put a sign up on the door, reading "DO NOT TAKE KNIVES WITHOUT ASKING FIRST!! THAT MEANS YOU!!" written in big, angry letters. The resort also seems to be gearing up for Christmas - there are lights and trees scattered around the place, as well as mistletoe for couples to get their public displays of affection on. There's also some other holiday decorations around, for Kwanzaa and....something else you definitely have never seen before. The thing....wriggles, and you don't want to be around it for long.
The weather is still nothing, 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. Are you getting closer to the truth of this place, maybe? It's hard to say.
MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

MEETING TIME
Okay, everyone, uh... a lot happened these past few days, hasn't it? There's a lot we need to talk about today...
First of all... Did everyone else get some more memories back today? I know our memories ended up mostly matching last week, so I assume they did this time, too. In which case... It's probably best if we have Szayelaporro take charge for a bit and let him tell us whatever he can.
Next, I think we're still planning to start exploring the vents? We'll probably want to figure out who's going to be part of that, especially since it's probably going to be dangerous.
Third, there's the issue with the Monsters. It seems like each of them has their own goals here, and if we can figure out what they are, we might be able to find a way to take control of the situation.
Finally, we need to figure out what we're going to do about The Outsider. At the very least, he seems to be harming the resort, though he doesn't seem to be aware of it. We're not sure what his goals are beyond "escaping", and how much of what he's saying is the truth, but he is giving us information, even if it's mostly for his own benefit. Still, we should probably pool together as much information as we can about him. I think someone mentioned they know what he looks like?
...Um... Did I miss anything? Does anyone else have something to bring up? I think I got the main ones, but I might have missed something...

Prince Alfie has been talking to me and Jojo- the Spider. He will share everything that he knows. After that, I can answer any questions people might have about Doppel.
[ And then looking over at Ryoga and Owain ]
We also found a body this morning. It was Inaba's.

Oh.
You found. That.

We've gathered what's left - and trying to figure out what would be the best place to put it so no one would disturb it. I mean even if we did everything right and we can get the dead back, it didn't feel right to just leave her body like that.

Before we continue, I'd like to say I have issue with Syazel being put in charge. He's a ghost--he has no reason to help us because he's dead. Besides, I don't trust putting a guy in charge who was the one who told us to come here in the first place.
[She crosses her arms, frowning deeply.] As for the vents, I feel that it's best for the adults to handle that one. From a logistic standpoint, we've had more experiences dealing with intense situations than you all have--no offense--and I don't want any of you guys risking your lives.
...Finally, I have reason to believe that the monsters here aren't the main threat to us.
no subject
Also: I agree that the monsters aren't the biggest threat to us either, but what's your reasoning behind that thought?

But more importantly:]
Are... you sure? Things have been changing here a lot... it might be even more dangerous in the vents now.

I agree that Granz-san is probably not the best one to be in charge of the living. We can't do anything about the ghosts. But I don't agree with your reasoning. The ghosts are easier to trust because they're not part of the game. And because they aren't, they also understand some things about this Resort that we don't.

As for the monsters thing, I agree that they aren't the main threat. Something's happening here, and it seems to be making them act differently from how they would normally. Still, finding out what they're after could give us clues on what the actual main issue is.
[...Why is this meeting turning into a disaster already, it just started... But yes, she does not address the vents issue at all.]

Speaking of monsters... I mean, the Barghest was talking about a lot of culty stuff. So if something changed, it might be because of the dark god they were talking about? I mean, that is basically what happened back home. ...and my dad did actually get a few people from the place where the cult was to come over to our side, but I don’t think Tharja and Henry were as devoted to the whole “summon the dark dragon god to destroy humanity and overrun the world with the undead” thing as the Barghest seemed to be. So I guess it all depends on how committed the Jorogumo and the Doppelganger are to this whole dark god thing.

I won't deny that you guys probably have more experience when it comes to these situations, but... do we actually have a solid plan on how to approach the vents? We're going to need teams for mapping them out, but it'd be good to keep a team on the outside for retrieval and back up just in case.
It also won't really help if we end up hurting the Resort more in the long run, so do we have a method of suppressing their immune system somehow?

[ He guesses it's the same for everyone else. ]
I think exploring the vents is a good idea. Even before this going on dangerous missions wasn't something unusual for me.
As for the Outsider...we might need to convince him of some things. Just because I don't think following along straight with what he says is the way we're going to want to go about this.
