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.

...Right. Maybe we can figure out something else later.

[He should probably stop fooling around and get to the point here!]

A-anyways. Can you ask them how much they know about the resort's current condition? Like, what's causing it to be ill, and if they know about any intruders.

[It takes a few moments, and then:]

They're saying that the resort is really sick, and they're worried about their spouse. They want the Outsider gone, and they don't really care how, so long as he gets out.
relentlesslyonwards: (huh. that's a pretty good point.)

[personal profile] relentlesslyonwards 2018-12-27 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[A nod.]

Tell them we're doing our best to figure things out, but we'll need whatever information they have in order to accomplish this. How much do they know about the resort's anatomy? We think the Outsider's in the resort's brain, but we don't know how to get there besides the vents.

[personal profile] foundationnpcs 2018-12-27 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Another pause!]

They said to stay out of the vents, that's 'private space'. But they remember hearing something about a storage room? That might be a good place to look.
relentlesslyonwards: (let's go over what we know again.)

[personal profile] relentlesslyonwards 2018-12-27 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, that's good to know. Thanks.

[What else...]

Do they know why the resort suddenly started up this game of mafia, by the way? As far as I remember, there hasn't been anything like it before, so it seems like it's related to the resort's illness, but...

[personal profile] foundationnpcs 2018-12-27 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Chatting time!}

They say they can't say.
relentlesslyonwards: (huh. that's a pretty good point.)

[personal profile] relentlesslyonwards 2018-12-27 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hrm.]

...Is that in they don't know, or they aren't allowed to talk about it?

[personal profile] foundationnpcs 2018-12-27 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
They're not allowed to talk about it.
relentlesslyonwards: (let's go over what we know again.)

[personal profile] relentlesslyonwards 2018-12-27 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Huh.]

Was that a request from the resort?
relentlesslyonwards: (let's go over what we know again.)

[personal profile] relentlesslyonwards 2018-12-28 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[That'd be too easy, huh...]

Alright... can they at least tell us if the resort's still getting positive emotions from the Guests? Everyone was wondering if the resort was feeding on negative emotions right now and that's part of why it's ill.
