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.

[...Just inverts the thing ig

Maybe gravity will do the work?!]

[foundationmods]

[It clatters, but it's still stuck.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Anything happen if he slides it around while inverted? Otherwise he might just try messing with the lid to see how much he can move it around (if any).]

[foundationmods]

[Nope, and he can't move it around much at all. There's nothing. Hm...]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Hm. Well, resetting back to its original position... there look like some kind of... arrows? On the lid? So maybe he'll just slide whatever it is to the corner of the box that it points to or something. Or like. Just try all four corners, why the heck not.]

[foundationmods]

[Nothing happens.

Do you want a hint?]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[No thank you, because we go hard or we go home!

Anything happen if he tries pushing the lid in?]

[foundationmods]

[Nothing happens.

The Box continues to elude you.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Indeed it does, but we live and we learn. Just for clarification about the object inside: it was sliding around, but did it tumble around on the inside when he was inverting it or turning the thing around?]

[whirlingmace]

[ GO JOJO you can do it \o/ ]

[foundationmods]

[Well when he was turning it around, there seemed to be some clacking, but the turning was too slow.

Hm..]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Turns it... faster??]

[foundationmods]

[Closer! The lid is looser, but not yet ready to let go.

Do you know what you have to do?]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[DROPS IT FROM THE THIRD FLOOR STAIRWELL--






okay no, he's not going to get shot for this. Turns it again but even faster??? He'll be listening for the clacks too ig]

[latebluemer]

[PUT MORE LEG INTO IT]

[foundationmods]

[There's a clack, and then the lid falls off, revealing nails and a button at the bottom.

CONGRATULATIONS! You win!]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Yay, he sure feels like a winner?? I hope those are like... metal nails and not human nails or something.

...

Are they human nails.]

[foundationmods]

[Oh my god they're metal]

[whirlingmace]

[ GOOD JOJOB ]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[the power of friendship/trial and error prevails??]
