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.

[ He catches the plan before it reaches him, looking only mildly irritated... before he sees it's Cinque throwing it and freezes up. Since the trial he's been pointedly avoiding her, only spending time together when it was a meeting they all had to attend.

But this... this is the first time he's faced with her one on one, since the reveal. ]

Aren't you a little bold to act so cheerful around us now?

[whirlingmace]

[ Ah. It's return of the Grump. ]

If I act like everything is serious and a bummer, then it'll bring everyone else's mood down. Everyone did super good, and should enjoy the cheer while they can, right?

[dolleyed]

Do you really think they want to enjoy the cheer with you after you brought a sword through one of us?

[ Knowing the people here, some of them probably do, but Kohaku doesn't and in this moment he will selfishly value his own emotional experience far higher than that of anyone else. ]

[whirlingmace]

I'm sorry, Kohaku.

[ She lifts her hand for a moment, but then drops it. ]

I don't think it'll make anyone happy if I hid though. They will want to keep an eye on me, right?

[dolleyed]

Well yeah, as long as you're in plain sight you're at least not off impersonating somebody and stabbing backs.

[ A beat. ]

But that doesn't make you one of us.

[ He should know that this is unfair - nobody carrying the monsters inside chose this life, but the Cinque now, right in front of him, is both Cinque and Doppel and he can't forget that. ]

[whirlingmace]

[ she didn't stab backs, just shot it with magic ]

I know... I know it doesn't.
