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.

[ Okay. so while the kitty is playing with catnip...

She'll share ideas ]

I want to try talking to Atsushi, but if that fail, I can turn into a tiger.

[tacticalespionageaction]

I’m not risking it.

[Sternly said.]

Pretty sure it’s not going to listen, besides.

[13thpromise]

Snake's right, that's a dumb idea so don't do it.

[whirlingmace]

He's still in there, though. I know he is.

[xenoqueen]

Are you kidding me? He could've killed you, and for all we know he's already killed someone in this goddamn resort!

[Sorry, Cinque, her Danger Response is completely off the rails right now.]

[dolleyed]

And he'll be in there once the night is over, too.

If you die now we'll have to find the Doppel all over again so don't fucking dare.

[tacticalespionageaction]

You can talk to him when he’s not in a position to rip you to shreds.

[13thpromise]

[ And as the others chime in... ]

I know he's still in there too but there's no point in stupidly getting yourself killed, okay?! There's better plans and you can talk to him after he's back to normal, can't you? It's not like something like that's going to last forever!

[ He's kind of trembling, he doesn't know how long Atsushi's transformation will last but it's only natural to assume, right? He can't take the idea of any of his friends getting killed very well. Someone he loved had almost been and if that actually happened when it was easily preventable...?

In the end, Roxas knows he can't stop her, or Tsumugi or anyone who'd want to, but he's... scared, and it shows. ]

[jumpedtheshark]

I want to talk to him too.

[Chiming in here, voice shakey. She was planning on going already, but she also can't let Cinque go alone.]

I... can consume some of Kathrine-san's blood just in case I get attacked. If I die, then... hopefully I'll just come back as a vampire.

[She can't believe she's heading toward death just when she started caring about living again. Stupid. Friendship. And. Feelings.]

[13thpromise]

...I don't want you doing that either.

[ Why do people have a lack of self-preservation here? ]

[jumpedtheshark]

I know. But... I don't want Atsushi to kill anymore people and hate himself more. To... to stop thinking he can change and be a better person.

[This night has been honestly terrible and Tsumugi blinks back tears. Said tears seem to surprise her and she goes quiet. Oh. God she needs to clamp down on her emotions and just... stop. There's a deep breath.]

But... If we can think of a way to trap him for sure. Then... that'd be good.

[tacticalespionageaction]

You can talk to him after.

[When hes , you know, not likely to kill anyone.]

[jumpedtheshark]

I...

[.....]

Okay. How- how about this? You... you guys trap him in the anti-gravity room and then let me and Cinque and Inaba-san try and talk to him, okay?

[A compromise?]

[tacticalespionageaction]

You got something to talk to him with?

[resortghosts]

If you want to try talking to him, I'll come with you.

[ It's obvious who's texting this, it seems. ]

[whirlingmace]

[ She gives a nod. ]

We can try your plan, but you'll need to tell me what to say to him, Inalin.

[resortghosts]

I can do that.

It's still Atsushi in there. I want to try reaching out to him. To see... if we can make him accept himself. All of himself.

[whirlingmace]

[ She nods ]

Cinquey agrees.

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Gives Cinque a concerned look um??]

I don't think that's going to work at this rate, and we don't want to put you in danger either.

[whirlingmace]

[ Hey Reanie. ]

It'll be fine. I'm really strong.

[relentlesslyonwards]

Cinque...

[Okay, he's just. Going to step closer so he can gently lay his hands down on her shoulders.]

You're friends with him, right?

[whirlingmace]

I am. That's why I want to do this.

[latebluemer]

I think it’s a better idea to make sure the tiger can’t get to anyone first. You can still talk to him through a door or a barrier.

[She’s using a businesslike tone here, but there’s a sliver of irritation when she looks at Cinqueling.]

I don’t know Nakajima-kun all that well, but I don’t think he’d be happy if he ended up hurting more people.

[whirlingmace]

He also wouldn't be happy being left alone in there. If we get him in the gravity room, let me in there with him, please.

[latebluemer]

Only if we’re completely sure the zero gravity is working, and he can’t get to people.

[She sighs after a moment.]

I know you’ve been practicing, but we still have to be really careful. Especially since you’re not the only one on board with this idea.

[Look what you started, Cinqueling.]
