WEEK 5 MINGLE

[foundationmods]

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.

Shirou said he was there! I really want to see him. I heard he got a boyfriend.

[ Cinque has the worst priorities ]

Thank you for not eating him. I don't think he would taste very good if you did. [ She's just joking ]

[foundationnpcs]

Probably not. I don't eat people anymore, only animals. People taste like sadness and regrets.

Dude, remember what I said about the weird stuff?

Sorry!

[whirlingmace]

Aww. So did it make you really sad?

[ Oh it looks like Kon is back. ]

[foundationnpcs]

It did, yeah. That's why I don't do it anymore.

Um...I looked through your memories, sorry! But after Owain freaked out, I wanted to see if there were any other friends to people inside of me. So, um...

What he's getting at is, be selective with who touches the stone. Because someone might hear a voice they're not expecting and get sad.

Or mad. I think Ren- no, Akira- I think he might get mad.

[whirlingmace]

That's okay! If it means helping everyone... Sataling needs a better time here. It's been super duper rough for him.

[ He could see from memories ]

I'll keep you guys safe and warn people before touching.

[foundationnpcs]

Yeah, he doesn't need someone screaming at him.

That asshole is already screaming now.

He, um. He wants to talk to Akira? I don't know if it's a good idea though.

[whirlingmace]

He can talk to me, and if he's not mean I'll pass it along to Akira.

[foundationnpcs]

[There is a pause, and then:]

He refuses.

[whirlingmace]

Then boo to him. I'll keep talking to Kon and Sol.

[foundationnpcs]

Fine by me, I'd rather talk to a cute girl too.

Kon!

[whirlingmace]

Hehe. Can you see what I look like in there?

[ Let's talk about that. ]

Oh. You did see my memories. You could see Atsushi and Inaba in there!

There any other messages or anything else? Any way I can convince Appy's boss to leave?

[foundationnpcs]

We can see your memories, kinda. So I know what you look like because you've seen yourself in a mirror.

...um. Don't let Atsushi touch me either.

Oh, he's got someone inside you too, huh? WELL ANYWAY, tell Ichigo he's got a lot to tell me when we can talk again, so 'Kon says hi'. Also, if he gives you guys any shit, call him 'Ichi-nii'. That should get him to do whatever you want.

[whirlingmace]

[ She'll share that to Appy too.

But Kon did give her something interesting she'll try. ]

Okay, I'll make sure he doesn't touch it.

[ He's a ghost so it'll be okay for now right ]

Ichi-nii, huh? I'll use it wisely. Thank you Konie.

[foundationnpcs]

Thank you, Cinque.

It especially works if small, cute children are the ones saying it. Just so you know.

[whirlingmace]

Any time. If you need me or need to talk to anyone, feel free to let me know, Solski.

[ Also hmm. ]

I could get Yoyo to help. He's pretty cute.

[foundationnpcs]

Do it.

I'll let you know, thank you! And I'll tell you if Nine says anything else too.

[purrtagonist]

[overhearing this!!]

. . . Cinque? Pass what onto me?

[whirlingmace]

[ awww ]

They said he's really mean. Are you sure?

[purrtagonist]

[. . . a soft snort]

I can handle mean.

[whirlingmace]

Okay... [ Handing the stone over. ]

They made Owain cry earlier... So if you need a break, just hand it back, okay?

[ She'll put a hand on him just to be sure. ]

[foundationnpcs]

[Well the first thing he hears is a rather angry-yet-familiar voice:]

FUCK YOU KURUSU!

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . . . . . . . . . .]








I love you too, Akechi.

[SAID SO DRYLY THAT IT'S CLEAR HE ISN'T BEING SERIOUS]

[foundationnpcs]

You left me to die at that hellhole of a camp, you-

[There is a weird pause as some mental wrestling goes on, before a much younger-sounding voice comes across.]

Sorry. He gets like that sometimes. He's one of the few that can break through without me letting them through.

[purrtagonist]

[there's an extremely lengthy pause before Akira responds again]

. . . I didn't realize Akechi was in camp, too.

[purrtagonist]

[gives her a small smile as he takes the stone from her, cradling it carefully in his palm as he waits for. . . something???]

[he's quite for now, just listening]
