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.

[That keychain is going straight onto her tablet if you can put keychains on them.]

I see...

[Tsumugi nods along like she's just learning this and didn't already know.]

So how do you properly celebrate it?

[The "proper way" didn't actually come up in canon and I the player am making it up as I go, the only thing that mattered for the purposes of the game was that it was "basically Christmas but with a Star theme because Star God".]

Well, what the church says is that you're supposed to take this day to thank the Star God for his guidance throughout the year, and remind ourselves that excessive desire is the source of all evil and devote ourselves to opposing the powers of Dusk, but...

For the most part, it's basically a day to rekindle bonds with the people important to you. It's especially important to people in a relationship. Ideally, you would do something romantic under a star. Back in Shelgard, they would have a big tree with a star on top of it downtown, lit up so that there are shadows in every direction, so that basically everyone in the area was "underneath the star". It was pretty popular with couples.

...Well, one of the big teachings of the Star God is to strengthen one's bonds, so I'm pretty sure he kind of prefers that kind of thing to what the church says, anyways.
