thefoundation | 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.

And I'll deliver. Later. I won't ask you to return to your room just yet. [ gotta let owain have some fun in the pool first...! and pls, as if he isn't hovering way too close anyway, this is basically hugging distance. ]

--I do. I find her difficult to understand, but at least her intentions here are clear. She wanted me to see you shirtless.

Thank you, I look forward to it. [ and he will have fun in the pool ]

As though you haven't seen me seen me in this state already, even if we were not engaged. [ saying that quiety ] Why was it important for her for you to see me like this?

[ good, owain deserves to have some fun ]

That time hardly counts. We were tending to each other's wounds. [ just as quietly. ] ... Well-intentioned meddling.

Certainly, but my body was hardly a stranger to yours, and vice versa. [ a pause ] Did you say something to her to make you think some meddling was needed?

... She doesn't need to know that. [ moving right on to ignore how flustered he is ] Not quite. There was a puzzle, an anagram. After it was solved, she became obsessed with one of the phrases and insisted I use it.
