WEEK 5 MINGLE

WEEK 5

They said it was a break week, but two of your number were lost anyway last week. While you're all tired and still recovering, the speakers crackle to life with the voice of The Lady.

"Attention, Guests. The game is back on. Break week is now over. Happy Holidays."

The Staff are still like they were last week - only this time, the orders almost always go wrong, if they even manage to go through - the Staff are vanishing constantly. Meals are also getting affected - they're still perfectly edible, but they're not as delicious as they once were, with seasoning and other things occasionally being off. The Sign warning people to not take knives is still on the kitchen door, but The Chef seems incredibly tired, often resting on a chair in the corner.

The Resort is still furnished with Holiday items - but after Medic's christmas protest, there are more items related to other holidays up, and it's much more balanced - objects and colors of multiple holidays side by side in harmony, with the mistletoe still up for any needed smooching. There are, however, more wriggling...things, and there's even an entire 'tree' made of eldritch tentacles with glowing balls of light on them that wink in an oddly hypnotic fashion.

The weather is still nothing, but the courtyard seems to have switched to a much warmer clime, which while still a little cool is pleasant enough to sit outside in. Finally, the music this week seems... almost ominous...?

On Monday morning, another memory is returned to everyone, one more traumatic this time instead of gentle like the others have been. Yet, you feel as if you know a little more about your time in this world, now. Not everything, but...enough.

Enough to see this game through to the end, at least.

Do you think it's possible that what the Outsider did made the Resort feed on negative emotions instead?

[resortghosts]

If it's feeding on negative emotions, does that mean this place is having a really bad case of food poisoning?

[whirlingmace]

Maybe that's why the game and why the Staff are acting really odd?

[resortghosts]

Maybe.

I'll probably look up stuff about food poisoning later, although this is a working theory, so it might not necessarily be correct. I was already planning on checking the third floor on Wednesday, so it looks like this week might wind up a bit busy.

[whirlingmace]

Let Cinquey know if you need help checking things out.

[resortghosts]

I will, thanks.

I can't think of anything right now, but if I do, I'll give you a heads up.

[She’s already gone through some of the reasoning here but let’s consolidate.]

That’s a good way of putting it. I was wondering if Kurosaki-san’s death as a guest might have twisted or broken something in the Resort. If it’s used to feeding on positive things, that murder... would have been really terrible for it.
