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.

okay, let's go!

[ He holds out a hand, but if she chooses not to take it, that's fine too! ]

[duskhound]

[Yeah, she is taking that hand. Let us continue to hold hands, and... not let go? It seems like it, yes. She is not letting go for a while, at least.]

The goal for today is at least ten minutes.

[...She's trying her best, yes.]

[resortghosts]

[ He keeps his grip gentle, propping his tablet up against his chest to type with one hand. ]

you're improving!! /(^.^)\

[duskhound]

[Honestly, she's kind of impressed he can manage that with only one hand and without stopping. That aside...]

Well, I thought I should try and do my best too. I can't be like this forever, after all.

[resortghosts]

[ Sometimes you have to practice hard at these things so you can actually communicate with people. It does make for some very slow typing, though. ]

it'll be really great if you can get used to it!

people keep patting me on the head here? it's nice

hugs are great too!

[duskhound]

...I mean, I kind of agree on the head patting, that's not something I can be comfortable with just anyone doing. And for hugging, umm...

.........Can you wait a few months?

[resortghosts]

hehehe, that's a pretty big one, huh?

in a few months we'll be out of here, so i can wait!

[duskhound]

Yeah, we should be out by then. Honestly, I think we're pretty close to being done here, so it shouldn't take too much longer to get out of here.

Still, it might take me a bit of time to get used to the idea of someone... grabbing me like that...

[resortghosts]

i didn't really hug people before i got here

but there wasn't much i could do during the trial, and others like it too?
