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.

Whoa! [Random mistletoe flying at one's face isn't his idea of a good time?! He manages to catch it before it hits him, but a couple of leaves still end up brushing against his face until he moves it away and takes an actual look at it.]

...Is there one? I've seen them hanging around, but I thought they were just decorations.

Yup yup. You have to kiss anyone standing under it.

[ Hey Reanie. She'll walk over to put an hand on his arm. ]

[!]

Um... you're not pulling my leg here, are you?

[He doesn't really move away or anything, but he does watch her a bit cautiously as she draws closer.]

I'm not. Soooo...

[ Turning her head to present her cheek. ]

Here.

[ Pointing at her cheek. ]

There's no way I'm getting out of this, is there...

[He sighs and there's a pause as he seems to be thinking things over. Finally, he takes a step back to gently take one of her hands in his and bows low for a feather-light kiss against the knuckles. He still looks a little awkward as he straightens up, but at least he can manage to meet her eyes.]

There. I'd say that counts as a kiss.

[ She laughs. Aww. ]

Reanie understands.

[ It counts! Once he's up she'll help herself to looping her arm in his. Looks like this is his life. ]

I can leave you some if you want an excuse to kiss someone else.

[Wow. It's not like it's a gesture he's never seen before, but this would probably be the first time someone's just initiated it with him like this. With that said, pulling away would be polite, so... yes, this is now his life.]

Haha... I think I'm pretty good with what's already hanging above our heads, thanks. Any particular reason why you started promoting this tradition?

It seems like a lot of fun.

[ And she has no regrets about it yet! Also don't be polite to her about this stuff, she'll take advantage. ]

There anyone you might want to kiss?

[ normal kind and not the jojo kind and look we can make these jokes in brackets now ]

[unsure what a jojo kiss would be like oh god

But anyways, he's a doormat when he comes to these things. It's fine!!!]

Um... not at the moment? I wouldn't really call this the right time and place for that, anyways.

[ Would it be kissing or pinching with his...mouth pinchers? ]

I think any time is the right time, but only if you want to. You never know when you might regret not letting someone know you care.

[He'd probably try to avoid pinching people at least...!]

Well, when you put it that way... [...] But right now, I think it's also because I don't really see anyone like that. And there's plenty of other ways of showing you care, so I'll manage somehow.

[ Would it count as love bites? ]

Okay! [ Patting his arm. It's okay maybe years later he'll find the one to head pat one hundred times. Until then, Rean can be a strong, independent spider who let's Cinque boss him around \o/ ]

Like head pats and hugs?

[Wow!! Maybe, although he'll have to kind of avoid killing them first...]

Yeah. Like head pats and hugs. [And speaking of head pats... he'll reach over with his free hand to do one right now.]
