thefoundation | 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.

:/ not exactly

I asked the staff for a Menorah. This is actually their third attempt, if you can believe it. I keep getting weird novelty ones

Like one made out of Pez dispensers???

[Hnrrghhh. This really was the best they could work with, then...]

Kind of a shame...they don’t really get to be festive.

[In terms of animal representation for the holidays, things leaned with bias to the warm-blooded.]

What was the other one like?

It's fine. This'll just have to be the most festive god damned octopus the world has ever seen

[As for the second question... Medic digs in one of his pockets before pulling this out and handing it to Snake.]

[Snake grunts as he’s given...that.

Of course, being handed a pair of glasses there really is only one thing to do with them.

He puts them on.]

How do I look?

[Medic snorts with laughter.]

you look ridiculous. I love it

You definitely make them work better than I do

[He adjusts his glasses in that Anime (tm) kind of way.]

Then I'll be keeping them on. Get into the festive spirit.

[Speaking of, he gives the room a quick look-over.]

Need any help decorating?

[or destroying Santas.]

[~~Wow where'd you learn that from Snake, an Otaku Convention?~~]

I can't say no to a face like that :)

I've made good progress on removing some of the more garish Christmas decorations, but I'd appreciate the extra help

[Hnrnhhhhghghh you're gonna make him blush.]

On it. Just give me the orders, doc.

Anything blue, gold, or white can stay. Lights are fine, stars are fine, candles are fine. The trees can stay but even out the ornaments to get rid of some of the Santas and Jesus stuff. Any elf on a shelf goes to the fire- we don't need more paranoia in this place.

We don't have to remove all the Christmas stuff, either, just make it less dominant.

[Snake goes reaching for a Shelf Elf, hesitating before tossing it to the flames.]

What did the elf do?

war criminal

[... Honestly, considering TF2 canon, that may not be a joke.]

[...]

Is making him answer for his crimes part of the tradition too?

unfortunately, no. he's allowed to infiltrate and spy as he pleases.

but no longer. tonight, we spark the revolution

[A smirk.]

Should we build a funeral pyre?

i'd prefer to crucify them, myself

seems more fitting for the holiday spirit

[A laugh-hnrnghghh.]

Feels more like decorating that way.

[He holds the elf up, moving it in the air around the room.]

Where do you think's best?

somewhere prominent where everyone can see it

and so it can serve as a warning for the rest of his kind

Think the ceiling would be too much?

not at all

Do you know where we can find a ladder or are you planning to climb up there somehow

[...]

I could try.

[Wiggles out some gecko...hands.....]

god

you're wonderful

[Snake will feel invisible hands just. Gently caressing his gecko hands, curiously looking them over.]

[Hnrnhghgh]

Thanks.

[He spreads out his gecko paws a little wider, slightly flustered at the combination of the compliment and gentle physical contact.]

Are they up to standard?

[Medic squeezes the gecko hands affectionately, rubbing his thumb over the scales. He lets go to write his next note.]

of course they are. i wonder if they'll still be able to hold your weight

only one way to find out of course!

[hnrhg...cute..........]

If not, I'm sure more can.

[And he wiggles out a good four more arms. That's how gecko physics work, right? Right.

Walking over to the wall, he places his hands against it tentatively.]

Got a crucifix for me, doc?

[This is just proving that Snake has some weird ideas of what's cute]

I can probably dig one up amongst the ornaments somewhere

[And he does!]

I guess we can just. Remove the Muppet
