MOCK ROUND - WEEK 1

[foundationmods]

All of the guests awoke in their rooms, just like they had before.

Yesterday had been a day of surprises.
First, they'd finally met the person who had brought them here.
Secondly, they'd learned they were going to be playing a false murder mystery for two weeks.
And most important, they learned that wishes could be granted if they won this game.🗈

Still, for now, it seemed like there wasn't much to do. Was the Witch already in talks with the 'Murderer'? Was the 'victim' already decided upon?

There was no way to know until some day later this week, apparently.

Still, it wasn't all bad. The island was beautiful and the climate just perfect for beachgoing, or taking a cosy walk in the garden. There were also board and card games which would be produced upon request, to help ease the boredom of it all.

Though, perhaps the guests would prefer to get to know each other instead? On maybe get into some trouble as they roamed the island.

Yet, with only a fake game in front of them....there's no proper sense of foreboding, is there?

....But maybe all of this...

...Is just the calm before the storm.

[Today is a busy day, and Takashi intends to make use of it. A bit of a vacation before things got serious, maybe- though even now he's thinking of the payout. Which is why when he finds another outfit in his closet he gets dressed and heads to the beach. The ballroom would be easier, but the sand and crashing waves are certainly more dramatic, aren't they? He can be found here early in the morning, doing stretches and meditating- and waiting for Vanitas to get frustrated and hunt him down.

Later he can be found in the master bedroom looking at all the guns with a cruel smirk. Maybe best to let him be?]

[Luna's either at the beach or one of the gardens, no real exceptions. She doesn't sleep or eat and has no real need to shower, so there's really no purpose to her being in her room unless she wants some quiet time.

And despite the size of the group, it's a big mansion, and a very quiet island.

There's something nostalgic about it. People crowded together under the sound of waves and the gulls. It's been a while. It's also not unusual for her to find someone messing around on the beach in the early morning, though it's been just as long since that has happened. She watches quietly for a little while.]

... I thought humans usually got up later during island vacations.

[overlordad]

I like it before it gets bright and hot.

[he doesn't pause in his current stretch, glancing back at her]

[artificialhighness]

[She'll just settle herself on the sand, patiently adjusting her sundress and continuing to spectate like he's a particularly interesting Saturday morning cartoon. Or equivalent.]

Oh, yes. The temperature is important. But you could just cool down in the ocean. It's going to be a beautiful day.

[overlordad]

That's not a bad idea, actually...

[he might be pondering tossing Vanitas in there later]

[curryparty]

[Hi Takashi, while you're meditating, a certain small redhead's gonna try to sneak up on you.

Can he actually get away with placing a rose crown (thorns removed) on his head or is this going to turn out to be a terrible idea.]

[overlordad]

[Oh, Takashi hears him coming almost right away. But after figuring out it's Asuma he keeps his eyes closed, letting him get away with putting the crown on him.

He peeks an eye open, able to see just a bit of the red from this angle]

I wouldn't call my self the flower type, usually.

[curryparty]

[Can't get past the overlord that easily! But it's okay, he accomplished his mission and that's what matters.]

No? Roses seem like your kind of flower, though. Ah, but I removed the thorns so it doesn't actually hurt.

[overlordad]

Blood red roses, eh?

[he reaches up, adjusting the crown a bit]

master bedroom

[helmdivide]

Someone looks a little gun happy.

[ S'up. He's just investigating when he spots him in there eyeing the guns. ]

[overlordad]

I don't know how to shoot, but I can appreciate a good collection.

[helmdivide]

They look pretty easy, but boy do they pack a punch.

[ He's not going to even touch them, but he will walk over to the stakes to poke at them. ]

This room is pretty creepy.

[ Again, his expression seems calm and there's still that smile there. ]

[overlordad]

Maybe weapons are the owner's fetish.

[he follows Jack, picking up one of the stakes. Now THIS he could use]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ The beach is enough to draw his attention... as is the guy who'd talked about training him and making him stronger. He's going to approach for ANY reason other than being frustrated enough to have been keeping an eye out for him! Yep!

Vanitas is cocking his head to the side as he pauses several feet away. His helmet might hide his expression, but the hint of annoyance in his voice is likely evident. He thinks he has a decent idea of why, but he's going to toss this out anyway: ]

Decide you don't have what it takes to train me, after all?

[overlordad]

Decide you didn't have the drive to hunt me down right away? Or were you taking a nap?

[he doesn't even open his eyes when he speaks to Vanitas, still relaxed and sitting in the sand]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ There's a scoff. ]

Of course I have drive. [ tch!!! ] I was investigating the perimeters.

[ . . . . . . ]

What are you doing, anyway?

[overlordad]

Meditating.

[He finally stands, cracking his neck. There's a looseness to his movements, not a bit of tension to be seen]

So, you ready?

[resealed]

[raenef was doing a bit more exploring when he finds himself at the beach. he had never ventured outside of the city too much to have been to one before so it was definitely a first for him as he takes in the view at first. it's not long before he does spot takashi and notices him meditating that he wanders over out of curiosity] What are you doing?

[overlordad]

[He doesn't open his eyes, but his mouth does quirk slightly]

Meditating. The ocean is the best soundtrack for that kind of thing.

[resealed]

I've never heard of that before. What's meditating for anyway?

[overlordad]

Keeping your mind sharp and strengthing your will, basically.

master room

[ladyscarred]

[Scarred only wanted to know what this room was. So the door swings open.

She sticks her head in far enough to see the strange things. The guns, Takashi looking at the guns.

.....riiiiiight.

She's just going to pull the door shut again.]

[overlordad]

[Did you think it was going to be that easy? Takashi hears the door open and spots her fleeing-

- and follows. With the shotgun he was checking out still in hand. it's fine]

[ladyscarred]

[Can it be called fleeing, when she just closed the door and casually walked away again?

Because not dealing with this today.

She's just ignoring him.]

[overlordad]

[He watches her go, shrugging before scratching the back of his head with the gun and walking back inside. Weird]
