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.

I'm glad.

[ She has priorities. Let's just scoot the chair closer to lean into the ghost. ]

What did you find out?

[resortghosts]

. . . Do you think we can somehow get catnip?

A lot of catnip?

[whirlingmace]

So you think the animal cafe and greenhouse would have any?

[resortghosts]

[There's a pause, as if there's a sudden realization, and then the messages stop coming from the tablet as the pen lifts up and writes something down something on her notepad, in automatically translated English:]

Maybe.

Also, from what I've read, cats dislike the smell of rue, lavender and pennyroyal, coleus canina and lemon thyme? And they steer clear of citrus scents. If we can somehow get ahold of some of those things, maybe we can force it to go straight to the soft room?

[whirlingmace]

Maybe should make sure to coat everyone we want him to stay away from with it, too? Like lavender lotion?

[ Though now she's tempted to stick lavender on him normally to see if it'll do anything. Hmm ]

[resortghosts]

[A hand written reply, again:]

That might work. We can try that. I'm trying to get Kurusu, Arisato and Niijima involved in this. I don't want to get too many people involved because I don't want it to turn into a huge mess.

[whirlingmace]

Is Makoto okay to help with this? She's still recovering from Barghest.

[ She's worried. ]

Maybe we can ask Blueski for help?

[resortghosts]

She said she'd help us out.

I... don't know if she will. Kurusu might get mad at me that I'm trying to get her involved, and I haven't even talked to him about it yet. But I won't force her if she doesn't want to. It's her decision to make, not mine.

But do you think that she'd help us?

[whirlingmace]

I think Akira would fuss in his own way, but I don't think he'd get mad at you. He would blame himself if anything went wrong...

[ Which might not be good. ]

Blueski would definitely help. She's also really strong.

[resortghosts]

[There's a bit of thoughtful - not actually Morse Code tapping of her pencil on the table, mulling it over in her head.

She's just concerned after everything that happened this weekend.]

I might ask her to look over someone, in that case.

[whirlingmace]

[ Maybe it's pensive code. ]

Look over someone?

[resortghosts]

Ryoga gets lost a lot and I don't want him walking in on this shit.

[whirlingmace]

[ She snickers. ]

Maybe we should turn him into a pig first then give him to someone.

[resortghosts]

That could work.

I'll see about talking to her about it, see what we can come up with. I think if we work together, we can figure something out. I'm not going to let anyone else die this week if I can help it.
