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.

Thanks for finding all of this. You guys are okay, right?

[resortghosts]

We're physically okay.

[messianic]

[:(]

I guess that's a start, and I'll take it. Please don't put yourselves in too much danger...

[resortghosts]

[Please don't worry about her, Minato! She's fine.]

I don't want to be put into any more danger. I am a non-combatant, Arisato, unlike the majority of you.

[messianic]

[...Well.]

Even so, it feels like you're always taking on so much.

[resortghosts]

I'm not, really.

This is all I can do.

[messianic]

You know that's not true. But, well... the more information we have the better, so you guys did good work.

[resortghosts]

Sorry.

But thanks.

[messianic]

You don't have anything to apologize for. You never have anything to apologize for.

[resortghosts]

. . . I was going to apologize again.

But then I remembered what you said.

[messianic]

[... He'll gladly take that.

and so, to try to lighten the mood:]

(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و

I'm proud of you, Inaba-san.

[Minato has never made that face in his life.]

[resortghosts]

You were secretly an emoji person, Arisato?!

[messianic]

They're my secret weapon, to be used when the time is right.

[Because he's so non-emotive nobody ever expects it.]

[resortghosts]

it just got mad because i took some hairpins from its room i think

it calmed down right away once i returned them

we're okay!

[messianic]

[Oh my god.]

Why did you take some hairpins...?

[resortghosts]

they looked important!

i thought they were like key items?

[messianic]

[oh my god]

Not everything is a video game, Nanase-kun...

[resortghosts]

but we're in a real life mafia game right now...

plus the numbers looked weird!

[messianic]

Still... just be careful, okay? Now I can keep an eye on you even less and that kind of really worries me sometimes.

[resortghosts]

your concern for me is actually kind of worrying!!

[messianic]

That's not true. It's perfectly well-founded.

You can't turn this back on me.

I know how you are.

[resortghosts]

you make it sound like i need constant watching...

[messianic]

You do. You absolutely, definitely do. No doubt about that.

[resortghosts]

eh?!

i'm not going to fall over and die again that easily... probably

[messianic]

This is why we all worry so much about you.
