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.

[Today is...a day.

For starters, Atsushi seems to be moving a bit more freely than before? Whereas he previously used to turn in on himself a lot and not jump around too much, now he's acting more like a normal person would. Hm.

He spends most of the day avoiding the mistletoe, but he does study the holiday decorations curiously. Because it's a bit confusing to him.]

Why would they decorate so much for such a minor holiday? And where's the fried chicken?

[Yep.

Anyway, at some point later in the day he can be found in the lobby, sitting on a couch. That's when he finally pulls out the fortune cookie got got last week, and he opens it. Maybe some good luck will be in his near future.]

...what? "Great things come in small packages?" What does that even-

[And he doesn't even finish his sentence, because suddenly in a poof of smoke, Atsushi has been transformed into a small white-and-black tabby shorthair cat.

Said cat is now letting out a loud meow that can probably be translated as 'FUCK'.]

lobby

[theycallhimmrpchan]

...

[Welp that is a thing that happened. He sits cross-legged]

Need some help?

[moonlightbeast]

[Listen here you little shit

or actually, don't, because it's just some loud meowing anyway.]

[whirlingmace]

[ Guess who hears that meow.

Guess who is popping up to investigate ]

Hey hey, Mr. Cat! Are you staying at the Resort, too?

[moonlightbeast]

[The frantic meowing can probably translated as 'hello there! I am a cat!'

Or something.]

[resortghosts]

(Cooo.)

[A pigeon lands on the back of the couch. It tilts its head, looking down at Atsushi appraisingly.

It either has no fear or a death wish, and it's hard to tell which.]

[moonlightbeast]

[...pigeon.

Atsushi knows what a cat's normal inclination is, but he will not be bested by that. Because even though he's turned into a cat for now, his mind is still human, and humans do not bat at birds.

...

Okay, maybe he'll bat a little bit at it.]

[resortghosts]

[Hello Catsushi.

You're getting picked up now by a ghost, and we're heading straight for the soft room.

At least his calloused hands make it obvious who this is, right?]

[moonlightbeast]

[There's that at least? Even if this conversation won't be so great, since he doesn't exactly have his tablet with him.

But Atsushi is not fighting to get away, he seems to have resigned himself to his fate of getting carried around.]

[resortghosts]

[There is now a ghost.

A ghost who is now making an attempt at pets. Let them pet!!]

[moonlightbeast]

[...which ghost is this, can he tell?]

lobby;

[13thpromise]

[ Did someone say cats? Roxas happens to come along a short time after and he spots the odd looking cat. ]

Oh hey, when did you get here, little guy?

[ He'll squat a bit, even if he is standing where he is and not any closer, with a disarming smile. ]

Are you hungry?

[moonlightbeast]

[...well he's always hungry, so.

He perks up a bit when Roxas says 'hungry'. Do you have food for him? Because he won't say no to food, even like this.]

lobby

[messianic]

[Oh my god.

Minato doesn't see the transformation happen, which means when he sees the cat, he freezes.

And because he is not anime enough for this, his mind does not immediately jump to Atsushi.]

... I hope the number of animals here isn't multiplying...

[WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF THEM ALL.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Excuse you he is not multiplying!!1

Which is to say, he's just sitting there and giving Minato a Look.]

lobby

[purrtagonist]

[oh no]

[OH NO]

[OH NO]






Catsushi.

[that's not helping, Akira!!]

[moonlightbeast]

[Listen here u little shit

Or maybe don't, because whatever Atsushi had been trying to say is now just meows.]

[justfists]

[... hello kitty?]

Hmm? You're out of the animal cafe...

[moonlightbeast]

[He is nooooot! But he is meowing at Makoto to try and get her to notice that he's not a normal cat. HELP HIM!]

[wrongtiming]

[They haven't talked much, but after Hunter happens to overhear what Atsushi says...]

Wait, what? Fried chicken?

[moonlightbeast]

Yeah! It's what you usually eat on Christmas.

lobby

[resortghosts]

[ Well, that bunny hood was going somewhere, but it immediately detours at the sight of cat, reaching out. A sleeve? That probably ends in a hand???

Is Atsushi cat enough now to get Bad Vibes from him or does he get to pet the kitty. ]

[moonlightbeast]

[Atsushi is indeed cat enough to get bad vibes, but he is still Atsushi-enough to ignore them and sniff anyway.

Come pet the kitty, Yoshi. You're his friend so he will allow it.]

the lobby

[jumpedtheshark]

..... Eh?

[Blink.]

Eeeeh!?

[Tsumugi rushes over to crouch in front of Atsushi.]

A-atsushi-kun!?

[Did he fall into the spring of the drowned cat when no one was looking!?]

[moonlightbeast]

[More like CATsushi-kun mirite?

But Atsushi is all poofed up and looking completely shocked by this turn of events. Help him he even has the anxiety of a cat.]
