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.

[13thpromise]

[ There's been a few ideas Roxas has been presented with in order to try to gather some more information, in light of everything that's happened. But once he's up he's going to first see about getting a quick bite at the restaurant before heading upstairs to do some checking out the guest rooms on the second floor. Since uh, he's never done that before.

He'll give room 201 a gentle knock. ]

Hello?

[ After that, Roxas can be seen in the arcade room, looking at some of the games right in front of him that he could possibly play. If anyone comes in, he'll turn to face them, expression curious. ]

Want to play a game with me?

[ Then he can be seen in the dojo, looking over some of the dummies in front of him, before frowning. Messing around with a still target isn't the same as doing a spar with someone. ]

[resortghosts]

[There is a pair of gloves - they're pink! - that seems to flash Roxas a thumbs up at the question of games, although there's absolutely no tablet response to it.

That seems to be a 'yes' though, right?]

[13thpromise]

[ Pink gloves...?

Roxas turns to face the gloves more properly. He's kind of really curious as to who it is...and he has taken that as a "yes", though, he still speaks- ]

You're going to play against me? [ ... ] Who're you?

[resortghosts]

[One of the gloves seem to slip off and disappear into the abyss before he gets a ping on the tablet.]

It's Inaba.

Hey.

[13thpromise]

[ That sure happened. He blinks at that, watching it happen...and then he kind of peers around to see if he can check to see where it went, but nope. ]

Hey, Inaba. You know, I've gotten better now, so it's definitely going to be harder to beat me.

[ Definitely said proudly as he heads over to a machine, deciding to pick one out now. ]

knock knock on a wall

[tacticalespionageaction]

[Snake catches Roxas as he heads upstairs, looking slightly more recovered from Monday.]

Hey, kid. Remember our plan?

[13thpromise]

[ A day of recovery has done them (somewhat) more good, looks like.

When Snake presents the question, the blond nods with a small smile, pointing to one of his ears - he's taken to keeping his earpiece with him ever since adVentures. ]

Yeah! Ready to go and give it a try?

[tacticalespionageaction]

[Snake fishes his earpiece out of a pocket, puts it in, and then gives a nod in response.

As much as he'd been shaken up, having something to do went a long way to helping.]

Taking the second floor?

[13thpromise]

[ Someone could say it serves as a good distraction of sorts. ]

If you're taking the third floor, I can take the second. Then after we're done, meet back up or something?

Dojo

[theycallhimmrpchan]

Roxas-san?

[He questions as he steps into the dojo, umbrella slung over his shoulder]

Thinking of venting your frustration on the dummies?

[13thpromise]

[ ... ]

I don't really want to do that.

[ Roxas turns to properly face Ryoga, looking at him carefully, with a considering expression, before he turns to look back at the props in the dojo. ]

It'd be better to go up against someone who could actually fight back, if you know what I mean.

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[He nods slightly, closing his eyes]

Yeah, I know what you mean - it feels like you're beating up something helpless when going at it with a dummy. And you can only really get a feel for how well you can fight with someone else.

[13thpromise]

Yeah.

[ Speaking of fighting with someone else, though. ]

...You're good at fighting, right? Why don't we fight a little against each other?

[foundationmods]

[The moose sticks it's head out of the room at the knock, and grunts.]

[13thpromise]

Uh...hi? My name's Roxas, and...

[ ...this is so awkward, he's never spoken to a moose but hey he's seen talking animals before, so...maybe? Well, time to try. ]

I just wanted to talk for a little bit, and ask a few questions?

[foundationmods]

[grunts again.

That might be a yes?

Spice Block also pokes it's head out, and chitters in a friendly manner.]

[13thpromise]

[ Well, the grunt doesn't sound angry and then suddenly a cute raccoon came out, so Roxas will take it as possibly a yes. ]

Hey there to you too.

[ A greeting to SB as well, and then... ]

...I guess the first thing I want to ask is if you guys know much of anything about the mafia game that we're being forced to play here?

arcade before the near double death

[resortghosts]

[ Bunny hoodie is here, and seems to perk up at that. ]

sure! which one?

tsk tsk!!

[13thpromise]

[ Roxas is going to lean over to poke at him to mess around first. ]

I don't know which one yet. But anything is fine, right?

[ He'll pick a game where you need to use your character to climb to the top of each state and avoid falling objects and get special items to get a lot of points... ]

[resortghosts]

[ Poked! ]

i consider myself a pro at pretty much any game that doesn't require moving!!

[ BRING IT ON, ROXAS. ]

[13thpromise]

Oh really, even any game you haven't played before?

[ Here go, game is starting up!! ]

Arcade room

[jumpedtheshark]

Eh? Are you asking for a rematch on the racing game?

[He May have won once, but she still had the majority of wins.]

[13thpromise]

[ That she did - after all, it had been his first time playing such a game. But, he's definitely had time to practice, so a rematch has been on his mind. ]

Yeah, I am. It's been awhile since we've been against each other in that game, and I want to show you how much better I've gotten at playing.

You up to the challenge?

[jumpedtheshark]

Well, I can't turn down a challenge, can I?

[She walks over to one of the racing machines.]

Show me how much you've improved.

[13thpromise]

I'd hope you wouldn't.

[ Roxas makes a show of slipping right into the one beside hers. ]

...I'll definitely show you. By the time this is over, you'll be familiar with only seeing my dust.

[ As always, when he gets into the competitive mood, he gets like this, but hey here he is, starting up the game. ]
