WEEK 4 MINGLE

WEEK 4

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.

Yeah. How much do you pay us and do we get a raise for our troubles?

[resortghosts]

You're going to have to talk to HR about that. If we don't all get a raise after this debacle I will have words.

[ Kohaku's pretty unhappy about the situation, but that does get a smile. ]

Glad to see we're on the same page then.

[ The whole 'not telling us he's the boss' was a pretty big minus for Szayel as a leader, but the pay thing's a plus. ]

Also what was up with the memory wiping?

[resortghosts]

That wasn't my choice. My direct superior required it of me.

Good to see he's always finding new ways to screw me over.

[dolleyed]

[ So Szayel's also being treated like garbage. Minimal points for sympathy on that front. ]

Garbage idea. Once I remember whether or not doing that gets me killed, I'll decide on giving that guy a piece of my mind.

[resortghosts]

[it's just a cascade of garbage, tbh]

I would not recommend it. You might wake up as a bug or vivisected on a table or something.

[ THE BIGGEST SIGH. ]

Figures. Sounds like as good an idea as busting into the Queen's throne room - which worked out last time, surprisingly.

[ Hmm.... ]

[resortghosts]

Micro-aggressions work well.

He doesn't like hazelnut in his coffee. :)

[dolleyed]

[ That makes him let out brief laughter. ]

Thanks for the tip.

...Wait, we get paid?

[Actually being paid for my work is. A whole new experience for me. I just get operating expenses.]

[dolleyed]

Well, we better do.

[ Said before Szayel's message confirms that yes, money is involved. Thank god. ]

[duskhound]

[Yes, that confirmation is... nice. She just assumed they worked like the church and just gave the bare minimum operating expenses and called it a day. Especially with the whole "you're disposable and aren't even human" thing The Foundation had going on.]

Well... That's one thing to look forward to, at least?

[dolleyed]

Yep. Honestly, this situation's about as good or bad as the one I was in at home, so I don't give much of a fuck.

[ That's... really not the whole truth and there are a lot of conflicted feelings below the surface here, but he hasn't gotten to really comprehending those. ]
