Week 4 event

[foundationmods]

INVESTIGATION (?)

Friday morning comes and goes with no dead bodies to discover. Saturday morning passes with no trial. For two days, it seems like the Lady might be keeping to her word. This might truly be a week of rest, with no outside trouble brought in.

(She takes no responsibility for the incident in the vents, so.)

But then on Saturday night, close to midnight, the sound cuts off throughout the resort. The cause of the sudden quiet is unknown, but one thing is clear: something bad has happened.

Investigate?


??? GUESTS REMAIN.

[ Hears something heavy falling over in the library as she leaves the greenhouse???

Goes to peek in the door right before Ripley gets there -- yikes, bad timing. ]

Oh...! Is everything all right?

[ CLEARLY NOT ]

[tacticalespionageaction]

[SURE ISNT because Snake is running the fuck away to the door, and, if he's able to, closing it and locking it behind him as he does.]

[foundationmods]

[MODS pick 3 - roll 9

Snake locks the door just in time to hear something crash against it. Said thing doesn't break through the doors though.

The tiger lets out a loud roar that can be heard throughout the resort, and then it goes quiet.]

[rosebridled]

[ Well, that's a tiger.

Back to the greenhouse. ]

[xenoqueen]

[Ripley leans against the door, panting as she watches Anthy leave. She glances over to Snake.]

It's going to break out eventually. [She grimaces.] In the meantime, we should try and keep the kids from getting in. I don't doubt they'll try and break in to save their friend.

[whirlingmace]

[ Okay, at the roar, and with Medic there, she'll leave the healing crew to to go running up the stairs to find him. ]

Did you guys find Atsushi?

[ Did you want someone to break in to save their friend? ]

[tacticalespionageaction]

Yeah.

[Snake looks at Cinque and speaks firmly, because he knows what these kids are like.]

You don't want to go in there. Best not to hang around here too long either.

[xenoqueen]

[Ripley stares down at Cinque.]

That tiger--Atsushi's not...just, stay away from here for now, alright? We don't want anyone accidentally getting hurt.

[Or...more hurt. She doesn't know how long this tiger's been running around here.]

We need something to occupy it's attention for longer.

[rosebridled]

[ Well, conveniently, she's back. ]

Catnip?

[ Offers... catnip... ]

[whirlingmace]

[ She'll put a hand on Snake and give a smile. ]

I can go talk to him.

[ Oh hey, Anthy. ]

Oh! That'll be perfect. We can give him this first, then can I talk to him?

[foundationmods]

[Hey guys, guess what.

The library has two doors. And the other door was open.

Someone sure did just run around the halls to circle around and trap the four there in the hallway, and would normally be mauling them to death currently, but.

Well.

The tiger smells the catnip and seems way more interested in that than in mauling anyone.

Give the catnip to the tiger?]

[xenoqueen]

[...Shit. Ripley freezes upon seeing the tiger, then snatches the catnip from Anthy. Quick, this used to work on Jones. She quickly tries to take off her shoe, then her sock, and balls the catnip into the sock.]

Here, kitty kitty. [She keeps her voice quiet and high pitched, shaking the sock.] You like this? You want it?

[She starts inching towards the open end of the hallway, indicating for the others to come her way. After a pause, she tosses the sock down to the other end of the hallway, away from the stairs.]

Go get it!

[tacticalespionageaction]

[In the most tense game of catch ever played, Snake follows Ripley, making sure to herd the others too. He doubts he has to worry about Anthy, but he shoots a look to Cinque that only communicates one word:

Don't.]

[whirlingmace]

[ He's communicating DO, right?

She does go with them at first, but as soon as the catnip is flying and if the Tiger gives chase, she'll give a kind of a smile at Snake before following after the tiger

Good news, there isn't much hallway left on this end? After they by the child daycare? ]

[foundationmods]

!!!

[The tiger bounds down the hall after the catnip sock, and immediately smushes its face against it.

CINQUE picks 7 - rolls 6

Cinque's presence will eventually get the tiger's attention, but that effect is not immediate. He will stay distracted for half an hour, so go make a plan on how to contain him.]

[rosebridled]

[ Oh, good.

Then her work here is done. Bye. ]
