MOCK ROUND - WEEK 1

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.

Dining Room

[After helping Asuma make chocolate Takashi can be found nibbling at the misshapen treats and looking at a photo with an unfamiliar look on his face. If anyone tries to peek they might see 3 young women- one goblin, one harpy, and one spider-taur- and powerful looking man being fussed over by a frog woman. All 5 are very clearly not human]

[ He's tilting his head to get a better look at said unfamiliar look, eyebrows raised... and then he's looking at the pictures. ]

Who're they?

[It's a very openly soft expression- even with the people here he likes he's always had a bit of a smirk otherwise]

My family.

[He has no issue showing the picture]

[ It's interesting! ]

Your family, huh...?

[ He's sitting down on top of the table, resting his chin on a hand to look at it some more. ]

Wouldn't know much about that kind've thing.

You don't have parents?

[Blunt, but it's a clear assumption]

[ He tilts his head a little, a wry smirk surfacing. Almost as though there's a dark-humored joke he's remembering. ]

Not exactly.

[ There's a pause. He might be calmly glancing to the side, paying attention to who's nearby - if anyone. ]

I was created when Master Xehanort extracted the darkness from Ventus' heart. So... [ shrug ] that's what my "birth" amounts to.

I'm all the negativity that existed inside someone else. I'm not even a full person.

....

SO this Xehanort person is your dad and this Ventus person is your weird heart mom.

[ He... probably makes a face Takashi could see as hilarious??? But he looks so fucking offended by this concept. ]

Fuck no!

[ Let's make use of some of that new language Takashi has been teaching him, either intentionally or unintentionally. Or both. ]

Master Xehanort just needs me to accomplish his goal and Ventus is more like the other half of the heart.

[So less mom, more brother? He doesn't say that considering how affronted Vanitas looked... even if the dismay makes him smirk a little]

And I'm guessing Xehanort isn't exactly the loving father type?

[ The look he's giving probably tells enough. He shrugs, managing something... nonchalant as he just smirks, the next words being meant as more of a joke than anything: ]

You've been more like a father to me than he's ever been.

[ ... But, in the next moment, the way his brow tenses and he just briefly glances to the side? Well, that might make it obvious that he's not entirely sure that's a joke. ]

He's my Master... Nothing more, nothing less.

[Takashi's expression is almost soft at that. Hm]

Then why not just fuck off?

[If Xehanort made him, but Vanitas didn't feel anything for him and he's a prick, why stay?]

You're strong enough you could handle yourself just fine.

[ That gets an... odd look, to say the least. Maybe it'll be obvious he's never been told anything like this? How deal with dad believing in him...... ]

Heh... [ shaking his head ] That's out of the question.

He'd come after you?

[oh, Takashi actually looks a little pissed]

[She's drawn by the very obvious scents of chocolate and then a familiar figure with an unusual expression. Luna takes a moment to stare quietly into his face and evaluate it before she leans over to examine the photograph.

Honestly, it looks more like something Silver or Bruno would own, but hey. She's not one to judge.]

You received it today?

Yeah. I'm guessing everyone got something?

I think so. I've heard of Valentine's Day, but this is the first time I am celebrating it like this.

[A pause while she takes another look at the photo and then indicates it with a delicate gesture.]

What is it for?

It's a picture of my family. So, fitting for the holiday.

--Families celebrate Valentine's Day?

[This is also news to her??

She might have seen a few of them pass by but she was a little busy and the most that probably happened was a lot of flowers changing hands. That's about as far as she got with that human holiday.

In this case...]

You are full of surprises.

Well, I mean my wife is in the picture, and Valentine's Day might just lead to more kids, right?

Edited 2019-02-16 05:27 (UTC)

[Which. Which one is the wife. She's having a little trouble here, and it's showing in the deepening frown on her face. She's not entirely sure this guy is human, come to think of it.]

Of course, but are all these children from your marriage?

[And seriously, who's the wife.]

No, actually. I just had my first biological child right before coming here.

[He points to the frog woman]

This is my wife. Then Gobumi (the goblin), Harpiko (the harpy), Kuneka (the spider) and Taddy (the muscle frog). Taddy is her son from her first marriage.

[Oh, thank god.]

I didn't know... humans... were compatible with other species.

[Honestly, she wouldn't have been completely surprised at this point if he said he'd popped out all the kids himself. You just never know, on this island. Also see: advanced technology and robotics life.]

But they look like wonderful children.

Honestly, I might not be human anymore. Being the Overlord probably changes things, but I never really had anyone to ask.

And what may you be now, besides a family man?

[That is still a little funny to think about, which is probably why she's emphasizing it a little bit.]
