thefoundation | 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.

Good job.

You done fucked up. Do you want a gold star for that?

Nah, I've got my Real Adult book of stickers already.

Though it sounds like you might need a few of those vomiting emoji ones to congratulate you for your attempts at sarcasm.

I would give you the glittery pile of shit ones, but I wasted all of those on the idiot who ate a poisonous plant.

Don't worry. I wasn't really trying very hard. You're not worth the effort.

Nice try, though.

Do you have anything remotely useful to say or are you just going to gripe and bitch the whole time?

Sorry, I only give clues out to the good boys and girls.

I'm like Santa, but with vague bullshit messages about teamwork and being a good person.

You say that as if you've been giving any messages about teamwork and being a good person to begin with.

Ho Ho Hoshit I guess Santa only visits once a year.

Well, Santa sure didn't visit the Resort this year!

I gave you someone to talk to, didn't I?

AND you used them to figure out a way that might get you out of here, once the resort settles in one location again.

It's a goddamn Christmas Miracle!

Wait.

"Someone to talk to" could mean many things. Who exactly are you talking about? And if it's "yourself", then wow.

Of course I'm not your fucking gift, nobody would want that for Christmas.

I meant Sol.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure all of us would go "yikes" if it were you.

Also we can't talk to them, really. But I'm sure they appreciate the help. Doesn't change the fact that how you got Sol was still shitty.

Look if you're going on some dumb tirade to get a sense of justice for your dead boyfriend, save it. I'm too hungry to argue right now.

Sorry, I'm not the type to talk about justice. I'll leave that to the dumbass idiot brigade.

But quick question: have you eaten at all the last six months?

Of course I have, I would be dead if I didn't.

But food just doesn't fill me up like it used to. And I'm not about to go eating the whole kitchen like Nakajima does, so I'm just always hungry now.

How do you even get food up there? Did you bring a year's worth of rations when you came here or something?

[ There's a bit of a pause after that sentence, and then, a follow up: ]

You make it sound like you need something that isn't "regular food" to eat. Probably because of how you managed to get stuck up there.

Well if I did it's totally unintentional because I'm human and I eat normal human food.

And I have my ways of getting food up here.

[ If he's still watching the storage group? Inaba is absolutely pinching the bridge of her nose right now at this. ]

Maybe "unintentional" should be your new middle name. Because you seem to be doing that a lot.

Was there even a point to all of this? I'm sure you don't actually care about the fact that I'm hungry all the time.

I'd give you the shrug emoji, but that wouldn't answer your question, so I'll just give you the answer straight out.

Information is still information, regardless of how small or insignificant it is. I kind of have mixed feelings on you as a person, but you're also not boring to talk to is what I can earnestly say, though. And I'm just generally interested in learning about other people in general.

Even if they are shitposting otaku idiots.

Excuse you I'm not an idiot.

Oh my. You're not turning into a Hollow up there, are you?

Well, I suppose it would fit your aesthetic. ;)

- SG

I'm not dead, so no.

Are you sure about that? Maybe you passed on in there and didn't notice. It's very common for ghosts to not know they're dead. Oh! Or maybe you're the rare soul who is so edgy that you begin Hollowfying even before death! Ah... you and Kurosaki are two peas in a pod, aren't you~?

-SG

I'm not turning into a damn hollow. I don't have a hole in my chest, for one.

Or anywhere else.

Oh come now, you have several holes, if you want to play semantics.

Your mouth, for one.
