WEEK 5 MINGLE
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.
MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[Yeah, that's unusual for him to be sure. He looks at the food... and sighs, rubbing the back of his head.]
I guess... I thought I was hungrier than I am...?
[It's about as weak an excuse as her attempt to say she's fine is.]
no subject
[they can be coping badly together, though she's trying? to be gentle. but that's never been something she was particularly good at.]
... Though, I would understand if you wanted to talk about anything else.
no subject
It's...
[Even trying to think about it makes him shy away so badly that his breath hitches, and he swallows tightly.
And, in a soft whisper:]
I can't.
I... can't. [Talk about it. He's not strong enough for that.]
no subject
... Okay. We... can talk about something different.
no subject
[He drags in a shaky breath, swallowing.]
It... looks like they changed up the decorations... [His voice is still strained, but hey, he's trying.]
no subject
[she pauses, and.
god she wishes she had more headspace, but she tries for something else]
... Was Akira with you last night?
no subject
Yeah. He was.
[............ ANYWAY.]
He was pretty upset about Nakajima-san... I just hope he's doing a bit better today.
no subject
I see.
[siiiip.]
... I'm glad he was with you, though. I'm sure that did cheer him up.
no subject
I... hope so. I'm sorry that we left you alone, though.
no subject
[she smiles at that.
and sips her tea.]
no subject
Um... that's good to hear.
[MAKOTO.... YOUR TEASIPPING..... he's feeling very judged right now.]
no subject
[she pauses and tilts the cup in a bit of a circle, contemplating how to say it.]
... I'd rather not keep stressing Akira out. And you don't-- so, as far as I'm concerned, you two being together for a night is a good thing.
no subject
Makoto...
You know you're not stressing Akira out. He's happy to look out for you--you're his family.
...But still...thanks.
no subject
You're welcome.
