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.

[Every puzzle has an answer

They're engraved, but a little work finds that they're actually removable tile pieces. Think like scrabble.]

[purrtagonist]

[are all of the letters removable, or just the words?]

[foundationmods]

[All the letters are removable!]

[purrtagonist]

[ha!]

It's an anagram.

Nice.

[resortghosts]

[ ping! ]

we found a note!

STORAGE

eeedddeeeddd

[resortghosts]

[There's also a follow up ping:]

Also we almost got ourselves killed by the oil creature.

It's like a huge fucking cat.

[resortghosts]

i think that makes me the worst phantom thief ever

sorry inaba!! i thought it was a key item

[whirlingmace]

[ OMG YOU TWO ]

Thank you. Please don't get yourself almost killed...

[resortghosts]

it seemed fine after i returned its stuff!

it meows like some kind of giant oil cat monster thing

[resortghosts]

Yeah, apparently the life lesson to be had here was to not steal an oil cat creature's shit.

[13thpromise]

Thanks for keeping this bum from dying again.

[ Seriously...jeez. He'll just assume that's why he probably didn't die?? Feel free to correct him on that, though. ]

[whirlingmace]

[ She.... she wants to pet the oil monster cat. ]

[latebluemer]

Nanashi...

[WHAT DID SHE SAY ABOUT DOUBLE DYING. This was literally two days ago. Please. Y'all have already given her white hairs she has been a Snow Angel already let her live.]

[resortghosts]

why do i feel like I'm being harshly judged...?

[latebluemer]

You really should. What have I been telling you since the first week? And that goes double for the last week.

[POP QUIZ.]

[resortghosts]

[And... another message?]

its relaly quite doclie! mch liek a nomrla housecat!

[whirlingmace]

[ So a bit later... she'll come back if he's still here with a solution! ]

Want try this out?

[ She'll show the FIND OTHER BOXES
TWELVE IN ALL
ACTIVATE TOGETHER ]

Gerbear and Jojo came up with it.

[purrtagonist]

[BLESS U CINQUE! Akira hung out here while she was working on solving the anagram, and when she returns he perks up]

Aaaah. . .

If that's true, then just rearranging the letters won't help. But it's something.

[brb rearranging the tiles so they spell out "Find other boxes, twelve in all, activate together" and then pressing the button?]

[foundationmods]

[Nothing happens, but the letters lock into place.]

[whirlingmace]

[ GO TEAM. So is there any boxes here or do they need to check the rest of the resort out? ]

[foundationmods]

[I mean. There are a lot of cardboard boxes around, so you'll have to look for wooden boxes.]

[whirlingmace]

[ Time to embrace Akira's cattitude and check all the boxes! Peeking in cardboard boxes or moving them to see if there's anything under them. Here wood wood wood. ]

[purrtagonist]

[oho]

[HEY THIRD EYE, ARE YOU ABLE TO HELP HIM OUT, HERE. . . he's activating it, looking for anything that might be glowing blue in the room]

[foundationmods]

[Surprisingly, yes!

There are 11 boxes suddenly lighting up in his vision, including the one they just solved.]

[purrtagonist]

Hey, Cinque!

[gesturing her over when he has all eleven boxes in his vision]

I've found eleven, but we're missing one. It might not be in this room.
