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.

Comments

Event end: Punishment

[foundationmods]

[While everyone is hurry to try and care for the injured, it is The Lady who shows up to deal with all of this. She looks particularly peeved, too.]

The resort has been damaged. While we do allow for extenuating circumstances, the damage done tonight was purposeful.

Ellen Ripley, Atsushi Nakajima, and Rean Schwarzer will now be punished.

[With a snap of her fingers, all three mentioned will find themselves unable to use any of their powers. Then she pulls out a handgun and shoots all three of them. Ripley in the right arm, Rean in one of his many spider legs, and Atsushi in the chest.]

We kindly ask that guests do not break the rules of the resort. Please, enjoy your stay.

[And then she disappears.

Powers will remain off for 24 hours for the mentioned characters.]

[He might have been able to survive the poison, with the right treatment and time to rest.

He might have been able to survive the gunshot too, with his naturally fast healing.

But both at once, and without his own natural healing? Yeah, he doesn't stand a chance there. After getting shot, he lets out one last, choked 'I'm sorry' before his eyes go dark.

Atsushi Nakajima is dead.]

[whirlingmace]

Atsushi? Hey, Atsushi? Wake up please... Atsushi?! Please wake up!

[latebluemer]

[Her shoulders jumped and stiffened at the gunshots, but she didn’t even have time to make a sound. There’s tears in her eyes but she doesn’t say anything — covered in blood and the general debris of today (maybe the wall), Aoi just bows her head. She stays next to Cinque, though, and will not resist if clung to or leaned against.]

[whirlingmace]

[ Cinque is checked out at the moment.

Well she is just focused on the body before her as the life leaves him. Her vision is blurry and she just cries. At least there were people there... and will be people waiting for him but

She couldn't keep her promise. She couldn't do anything... ]

........................................................

[Tsumugi goes very quiet and still. Then her hair quickly releases Rean as Tsumugi gets up and walks away, towards Atsushi’s room. She has a scarf to reclaim. If her eye flash occultic blue and no longer empty, but filled with a silent murderous anger... well. She’s found a good goal to work towards, if a hypocritical one.

Tsumugi will remember this. ]

[foundationmods]

[There's actually quite a bit for Tsumugi to find, if she goes looking!

Is Tsumugi gonna root through Atsushi's things?]

[jumpedtheshark]

[Heck yes she is. She’s specifically looking for the scarf she gave him when they first met, but she’ll snoop along the way. What’s going on in here?]

[foundationmods]

[The scarf she can find easily. It's hanging with some things in the bathroom, on a drying rack. It looks well cared for, he absolutely treasured it. Maybe don't grab his socks though, those are also hanging up to dry.

His bathroom also has a very large bathtub, one easily big enough for the tiger. And a bath was drawn in it, though by now the water has gone cold.

There is also a potion on his dresser, which she can grab and claim ownership of. But the dresser door is also slightly open, and Tsumugi will be able to catch a glint of metal if she looks down at it.]

[resortghosts]

[Aaaand Medic has the good luck of walking into the room just as Ripley gets shot. Then Rean, then Atsushi.

Jesus fucking Christ can he catch a break today

Atsushi is... very clearly a goner. While he desperately wants to go to Ripley and help her, Rean looks like he's the worst off of the two, so he trains his Medigun on him and gets to work.

Just wait till he finds out about Snake]

[tacticalespionageaction]

[Hi Medic you don't need to wait he's right here, just kind of...sinking into sitting on the floor now he's healing Rean because uh. Shooting him right now would just be counterproductive.]

[resortghosts]

[Snake you literally JUST barely escaped death yesterday god damnit]

you look like you're in bad shape. what happened.

[Medic winces at the remains of Rean's arm as he works on wrapping a tourniquet. Once he's got that out of the way, he moves on to the spider limb. He doesn't seem all that phased by it.]

[tacticalespionageaction]

Became a cat toy.

[He grunts as he speaks; with all the adrenaline, the pain had been easier to push through, and it was starting to get out of his system.]

It's just a blow to the ribs...could've been worse.

[As evidenced by Rean.]

[resortghosts]

[Squints.]

youre lucky that there's people who need my attention more immediately or I would be strapping you to the nearest bed for the foreseeable future.

ribs broken?

[xenoqueen]

[Ripley winces, trying to put pressure on the wound on her arm. She's bunched up her sleeve around it, but it's clear that both the cloth and her hand are stained red. She sees the equipment approaching and grimaces.]

Didn't think they'd get so mad about me trying to defend myself.

[resortghosts]

[Once the situation with Rean is at least temporarily handled, Medic gets to work with Ripley. He immediately works on tightening a tourniquet, only bothering to write something down when he's made some progress.]

fairness is not to be expected from them

[xenoqueen]

[She lets out a dry laugh.] Of course not.

[Ripley watches Medic work, a trickle of sweat running down her face. She casts a glance towards the others, particularly Rean.]

To think that I trusted him... [She grimaces, shaking her head.] What're the kids saying?

[resortghosts]

which one? tiger or spider?

both are foolish. one trusted himself and his ability to keep people safe too much. the other thinks he can work with a parasite, i suppose.

the kids think this can all be solved with the power of friendship. obviously.

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Oh, that sure is a ghost coming to help him. They haven't really ever talked, but there's no time like the present, right?]

Um... Medic, right? ....Thanks.

[resortghosts]

[Here's a bloody stickynote for your troubles.]

it's my job. even if you are(were?) trying to kill us, i suppose

how's the pain on a scale from 1-10, 10 being the worst

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Ah. Just going to take that note. Trying to kill them indeed.]

That's... probably where things get complicated now.

[But anyways, maybe it's better to focus on being a good patient for now.]

Uh... maybe an 8? It's been better since Makoto and Cinque healed me.

[resortghosts]

when has this not been complicated?

aside from the arm and the leg, are there any other injuries? i dont want to overlook anything, but obviously these are taking priority

[He goes back to cleaning his wounds with disinfectant.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[He lets out a cry as one of his legs are shot, pitifully twitching whatever's left of the limb. His head whips over to Atsushi though, and he's stock still as he watches the life drain from the other boy's eyes.]

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[He ran in after getting free of his babysitters]

What the fuck?! What the FUCK happened?

A short time later:

[foundationmods]

[An announcement comes over the speakers:]

Cynthia is dead. She was the Ruler, a town role who was allowed to vote twice for each vote.

Atsushi Nakajima is dead. He was the Cleaner, a third-party role that 'cleaned up' messes for the resort.

As their deaths happened on Saturday, there will be no trial.
