WEEK 6 MINGLE

WEEK 6

You wake up to the sound of silence in the halls, the lights still dimmed after what happened on the weekend. The Staff is still soundly gone, including The Chef - and items aren't regenerating out of thin air for all of you anymore. There's still enough food for everyone who's left, but you'll have to make it yourself, now that The Chef is out of commission. No movies play, the Arcade is dead, and all of the animals from the cafe have vanished, beyond the pets you brought or got during the game.

More than that, however, is that The dead no longer seem to be around from a living perspective. While the tablets went down as soon as The Lady did, they seem to not even be able to pick up or interact with the rest of you. Are they still here?

However, there's another major change - as you come down into the lobby, you'll see that The Resort has landed in an area - the ocean is clearly visible, as it rests close to a beach nearby. More than that, however - you can actually go outside. And it seems like the resort won't pull you back in.

You could, conceivably, just walk out the door, and into freedom. But...Should you?

A CHOICE

[foundationmods]

[And now, you that remain have a decision to make.

Do you leave the Resort grounds and abandon the dead and the Resort itself, or do you stay and try to get The Outsider out and fix everything?

This is your decision, and no one else can make it for you.]

((OOcly, this choice is for you living players to decide if you want to end the game now or continue on into the endgame. ICly your characters don't have anything stopping them beyond the state of the dead and the resort.))

DISCUSSION

[justfists]

[look, it's Akira who is waiting in the lobby, when it becomes obvious that they can leave, "he" needs to have a chat with everyone.] You can't leave. ["he" tucks a strand of hair behind his ears.] If you do, everyone who's died will, well... Actually die. And they're already working hard to try and buy us all more time to save the resort, and that idiot who started all this.

[13thpromise]

... Hey, Akira.

[ It's good to see him again after all of that at least. He kind of feels guilty for not being able to approach him over the weekend while settling his thoughts, but... maybe there'll be time for that later. ]

I already decided that I'm going to stay, and I think we should all do that too--in order to save everyone else who died.

[ He ... actually doesn't care about the Resort's existential state beyond 'they need to save the dead', because to him they actually matter and it just so happens fixing everything with the Resort saves them too. ]

[whirlingmace]

[ Whoa. Sataling is being kind of strange. But

She'll go over to hug him anyways. ]

Cinquey thought you were going to...

[ You know do the thing ]

[justfists]

Actually... it's Makoto, not Akira. I don't think I could convincingly pretend to be him.

[swordhandled]

[ standing behind akira, nodding along, like he already knows what "akira" is talking about ]

[justfists]

... How come he told you, but he didn't tell me until after he'd already decided to try?

[dolleyed]

I'm staying as well, promised that to Yoshi.

But those of us who have no such attachments should just leave and not risk themselves any further. Our pay isn't enough for this buklshit.

1/2

[rosebridled]

[justfists]

[thanks, Owain. You are the biggest pal she could ask for.]

[rosebridled]

[ welp

bye felicia ]

[13thpromise]

[ ... ]

...What do you mean? What're you saying--you're not Akira? You're Makoto?

[ ........ ]

Why?

[swordhandled]

[ you've suffered through SO MUCH OF MY BULLSHIT

it's the least i could do ]

[justfists]

We decided strategy would be the more important skill here. Unfortunately... using his role doesn't quite work the same if the Lady isn't around.

[swordhandled]

I doubt there's anyone left alive who hasn't lost a friend because of this. We're going to stay for them.

[13thpromise]

... I have friends I'm going to help save no matter what, so let's do our best.

[ Yoshi, Snake, Rean, Minato, Gerome, and... maybe still Akira. He'd never forgive himself if he didn't do his best to save them.

He made his own promises too, in a sense. He's not an oathbreaker. ]

[justfists]

[she remembers... so much of it.] ... I assume you're going to stay, right?

[13thpromise]

If that was the case, he was the one who should've been here instead.

[whirlingmace]

[ Oh. Uh oh...

Also between this and hearing what was said to Roxas. She tightens her hold around Aki-to. ]

I don't know. Maybe he thought you would be super duper mad?

[swordhandled]

Was that ever in doubt?

[justfists]

I think the pay is a little immaterial, and always has been. But at this point, 2/3s of us are trapped here. But they're going to be helping us if we stay.
