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.

[ Interrupting here, but: ]

I'm not condoning reckless behavior but I should mention that we had to go through the door as ghosts to get inside the room, not to mention that us potentially dying again wouldn't have happened if the stuff wasn't taken to begin with.

[latebluemer]

[There's just. A deeper sigh here. But she's listening.]

I still don't like having the ghosts take these sorts of risks. But just... be more careful, okay? And which room was it? I don't want any more people stumbling on this cat-thing by accident.

[resortghosts]

it's 202!

i think it's okay as long as you don't take anything

[latebluemer]

What, the oil cat isn't pissed at all of us now? Are you sure?

[resortghosts]

nah it calmed down like right away once it had the hairpins again

didn't even have to fight with it!

[latebluemer]

So... what was the part where you two almost died? It must have attacked.

[resortghosts]

it was slowly advancing on us before i gave the hairpins back

after um

chasing us

[latebluemer]

... So what have you learned from this.

[What else can she say at this point.]

[resortghosts]

don't steal cute hairpins from oil cat monsters!

[latebluemer]

[There's just a continued menacing and expectant silence from this end. :/]

[resortghosts]

:>

[latebluemer]

┐(￣ー￣)

[resortghosts]

[ Time to stop wearing the bunny hoodie anywhere around Aoi for the next few days! ]

[latebluemer]

[That just makes it more likely she's going to set Inaba on you, silly bunny.]

[resortghosts]

I'm not going to disagree with you there. I am expecting to get yelled at by the reckless brigade later about this.

Looks like I should start picking up self defense...

[latebluemer]

The reckless brigade...?

[She can kind of guess at who might be in it, but it's always good to clarify. You never know when group membership might change around here.]

It sounds like that's going to be a good idea, if stuff like this is going to keep happening. I've been looking into it, too, but I'm not sure we can help the ghosts with self-defense.

[It's hard when you can't see... Unless they decide to start sparring with glitterbombs in use or something.]

[resortghosts]

Ichigo and Emiya. Although I guess I can tack Atsushi on there now, too.

I learned a little bit about using swords from Owain, and I know Emiya and Ichigo use swords so maybe I could ask them for help at some point? It's better than nothing, I suppose.

[latebluemer]

Oh, did Akira-kun graduate at some point while I wasn't looking? Or is this just for the ghosts?

[Just saiyan.]

Yeah, it's definitely better than nothing. You never know what the Resort is going to throw at us next.

[resortghosts]

Just for the ghosts. Also, Kurusu is literally in here with us, I will accept his yelling right now.

[latebluemer]

Somehow I'm not surprised he's involved in all this...

[She's totally got the time and effort to spare to also judge Akira. It's almost habit at this point.]

[resortghosts]

Well, it's not like he's involved?

We just ran into him in the storage room. Both him and Cinque. Oil monster was all just the ghosts. Also we probably have something to share regarding that tomorrow, where everyone can see it.

[latebluemer]

I was talking about the part where he and Cinque went poking around suspicious parts of the Resort by themselves, again.

[Is she still practicing #ventshaming after #ventgate, sometimes you gotta take the digs as they come. Well, everyone's alive in the end, so she's just exasperated at this point, really.]

... I'll wait and see what you guys have to say, then.
