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.

[Atsushi will go ahead and just lay in a pile on the floor.

He's not dead (yet), but he's not doing so well right now either.]

[justfists]

[look, she's not got the medical expertise to help Rean, and honestly she... needs to kneel beside Atsushi.]

Atsushi, Atsushi, can you hear me?

[moonlightbeast]

[He looks pretty out of it, both from poison and exhaustion, but he can manage to glance in her direction.]

Did- did everyone make it? I tried to warn them, before I- but I can't remember-

[His thoughts are scattered and it's hard for him to form coherent sentences, but he's trying.]

Did I hurt anybody?

[justfists]

[she's not in a good position to answer this one, but she's going to grab his hand, and squeeze gently. she understands the question and his impulse there.]

I-- think you need to worry about surviving right now.

[she doesn't have any sort of anti-poison spell.]

[moonlightbeast]

No, I need to know!

[It's not really shouting, because he's still talking quietly, but his tone is more urgent.]

Please, tell me everyone's alright!

[justfists]

I-- I don't know.

[said honestly.]

[moonlightbeast]

[It's not the answer he's looking for, honestly. But he's so Tired that he can't muster up the energy to ask her again.]

[jumpedtheshark]

A-Atsushi?

[She looks at him from where she is with Rean.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Hi Tsumugi, Atsushi is here.]

You're not hurt, are you?

[jumpedtheshark]

I’m not. But you...

[Ugh. She’s starting to tear up again.]

The resort is a cheater. It... it used you as a weapon.

[Not that she has any right to criticize, considering her past actions, buuuut... she caught the illness known as caring about others.]

[moonlightbeast]

Ah.

[Well.]

She told me she would, so I'm not surprised. I just...I never wanted to hurt anybody.

[jumpedtheshark]

.... The Lady, right?

[There is a deep dark anger in her voice. If her hair wasn’t currently holding Rean, it would be lashing in anger.]

[moonlightbeast]

No.

The short, blonde one.

[jumpedtheshark]

.... Do you have a name.Anything. What can you tell me?

[She has a murder to plan.]

[moonlightbeast]

...

Stars.

[He's. Too tired to say anything else. But there you go.]

[resortghosts]

[ Even though two of the people that this ghost really, really likes are injured heavily, while he might be laying down on the floor he'll be able to feel a bunch of tears on him.

This is all bad and it sucks. ]

[moonlightbeast]

[He's not moving, but he can feel those tears. And some of his own wil; be joining them.]

[resortghosts]

[ It's okay if he can't move, because they're just going to continue crying on him relentlessly. ]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[From his position, he just looks at Atsushi laid out on the ground, unsure how to feel about all of this. He could apologize, he could try moving to help him but ultimately, he just sits there and watches silently.

Sometimes you just don't know what to say.]

[moonlightbeast]

...ah. So you were the one who got Inaba.

[YEAH THAT. Is pretty much all he can say right now.

He doesn't sound mad though. Just tired.]

I don't blame you for this. For me. You- you did what you had to do.

[relentlesslyonwards]

...Yeah. That was me.

[Tired is pretty much most of what he can muster too, so he gets it.]

You weren't yourself either. So... don't blame yourself for this.

[moonlightbeast]

...this sucks. I want to be mad at you, but I'm not.

[Guess who doesn't hold grudges that well.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

I guess I should be glad about that.

[But you know. Too tired to feel anything.]

[moonlightbeast]

mmm...

[But he is fading fast, and there's one thing he has left to say:]

If they're forcing you to kill, I understand. But if not, please don't.

[Next week, he means.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

...I don't know if I can promise you that, but we'll see.

[They've all got their own role to play, and he has his.]
