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.

Well I mean, the cookie gojira did say that "they don't serve single-dimension people here". It's likely that the people the Foundation sent before they decided to send Ichigo and the Outsider didn't even make it to the stomach.

[...Consider for a moment, that we are considered less expendable agents than people from their own world.]

...Essentially, it's likely that multiplanar beings are the primary demographic this place is appealing to, and we... just barely make the cut on the basis of being from another dimension.

I guess we could ask the ghosts if all of the other guests can see and interact with them. That's probably the easiest way to get a feel for the demographics of this place. Nanashi did say that he could talk to the cookie gojira just fine...

[...]

Do we know if the Outsider is still just on this plane like us?

[duskhound]

It's hard to say for sure. At the very least, he seems to have barricaded himself in the brain from what he's indicated, and it's impossible for us to get there through the vents. I suspect at this point, the only way we're getting in is him letting us in.

[And getting him to let us in is the problem.]

[latebluemer]

Has he really barricaded himself in? From what I heard, he hasn't really given us any idea of how he got there or how he's staying in there. We should probably try to work with him, but we also need to understand exactly what's happening in the brain.

[She isn't going to say it, but despite the adVENTure issues she's not going to give up on finding a way there. It has to exist, after all.]

[duskhound]

At the very least, I believe he's said he didn't do it through the vents. Assuming he's telling the truth, there should be some other way to get there from the stomach, but I don't know if we have any clues where.

[latebluemer]

Yeah. There was... something about opening a door, but we definitely haven't found that door or anything like it so far. Either it's hidden on one of the floors or -- somewhere else? I think all we can do right now is look at the existing structure of the Resort.
