WEEK 4 MINGLE

[foundationmods]

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.

You were in on it the whole time?

[resortghosts]

I am the mobile task force leader for this expedition. I was only "in on it" as much as I ensured your safe transport here, and have been observing and recording our findings. The motivations of the Resort, the Outsider, "34"... all of it is just as much a mystery to me as it is to you.

For example.

I had absolutely zero idea that we would be forced to play a real life game of Mafia with a trio of extradimensional beings. And I was just as thrilled about it as you were, believe me.

This wasn't supposed to be so difficult.

[tacticalespionageaction]

Never is.

[Spoken with a growl. This kind of shit was happening too often to him, and he's tired.]

Were you planning on telling us? Or just hoping we wouldn't remember?

[resortghosts]

You weren't supposed to remember, not until the mission was done and the antidote was administered.

Imagine my panic when you all started having those dreams.

[tacticalespionageaction]

Must've been hard for you, huh? [Hnrghgh.] What was the point of wiping our memories in the first place?

[resortghosts]

You'd have to ask Kurotsuchi that. Maybe you can get an answer from him besides "BECAUSE I TOLD YOU TO."

[tacticalespionageaction]

That guy...he's your superior?

[resortghosts]

Un. Fucking. Fortunately.

[so much tension he forgot to sign]

[tacticalespionageaction]

[Snake sighs. Whatever trust he had in Szayel hasn’t been restored after this setback, but if there was just another guy higher up even more responsible -

Man, he’s so sick of this shit.]

How much of this is his orders?

[resortghosts]

Most of it. He planned the mission for this MTF and I offered to be the onsite leader.

[tacticalespionageaction]

Are you still in contact? I've got some complaints to file.

[With his fists.]

[resortghosts]

I wish. All contact with the outside ceased working as soon as we stepped foot into the active zone of the Resort.

It's why we had to send a team of live people in the first place. Amazingly, the Foundation DOES prefer to use drones, whenever possible.

[but he would love for you to punch Kurotsuchi in the face, that would be great]
