WEEK 1 - MINGLE

[foundationmods]

WEEK 1

You've found a safe haven from the wind and the snow - yet, perhaps you're not quite out of danger yet. The Resort Staff are odd, but seem harmless - jumping to any whim you might have, if it doesn't make them oddly lock up.

The weather all week is perfect - the perfect temp and snow for plenty of skiing. The firepit in the courtyard is always lit too, with ingredients for smores and hot chocolate always available in the lobby. Though...in the halls, a strange bunch of songs keep playing from the hotel's sound system. Is whoever runs this place a weird cover song enthusiast?

So far, everything seems fine....but there's a weird sense of unease lingering over the Resort as everyone wakes up Monday Morning. Maybe that has something to do with that strange memory that popped in your head when you woke up? Or maybe it's that all of you woke up in the middle of a snowstorm, with no memory of how you got there?

In the end...even though everything should be fine, why does it feel like this is only the prelude to a nightmare...?

[ YOUR MUCH ANTICIPATED GUEST CHU-CHU

HAS ARRIVED



...And Anthy is also here, in a modest ruffled nightgown, keeping to the side of the room near the door, which she glances toward every so often. This isn't so bad since she at least kind of knows a lot of the people here, but it's still A Lot Of People.

A part of her does kind of miss talking to someone at night, though. ]

[justonezero]

[Luckily being towards the edges means it's easier for him to reach her without tripping over everyone. No accidental crashes this time!]

You came too! A lot of people showed up, huh?

[rosebridled]

[ Congratulations! ]

They did. I didn't expect this many would fit into a room this size.

[justonezero]

Me neither. I didn't even think everyone would actually come...

[It's probably thanks to Aoi, Cinque, and Inaba really.]

[rosebridled]

I think I'd be too afraid of no one showing up to do something like this. I'm glad it turned out well for you.

[justonezero]

Well, it wouldn't hurt even if no one showed up, anyway! If that happened I probably would've spent the night playing games instead.

[Just a day in the life for a shut-in!]

[rosebridled]

Oh, that's right, you have some games with you, don't you?

[ She has very little experience with video games (and Solitaire definitely doesn't compare to the real card games she plays with Chu-Chu), but she's curious!

Also, she. Doesn't have a lot going on here. ]

[justonezero]

Yeah, I do! I made one, and I got one from the staff.

Here, I can send you the one I made.

[Take this Tetris app!]

[rosebridled]

[ take my tetrolution ]

Ah, thank you!

[ This is kind of exciting... let's see what we've got here. ]

Will it have a tutorial?

[justonezero]

Yeah, I added one at the start. The controls might not be familiar to everyone since it's a touchscreen. [...] And because everyone's from different times.

Just tap "start" and it'll give you a walkthrough!

1/2

[rosebridled]

Oh, good.

[ Going to focus really intensely on this!!! Okay, instructions, she's got this... ]

So I have to--

[ Kind of biting her lip in concentration... ]

Hm...

[rosebridled]

Ah! Look, the pieces fit.

[ Turns her tablet to show it off proudly!!!

As other pieces keep falling and stacking up. ]

[justonezero]

[Uh-oh.]

Er... Great!

Quick, turn it around and keep playing!

[wrongtiming]

[It doesn't take too long for him to notice her wallflowering, and he speaks up quickly after that.]

You having fun?

[rosebridled]

Yes, it's not as bad as I was afraid it might be.

Nanase-kun even gave me this game.

[ Shows off tablet!! Look at her failing the fuck out of this Tetris level!! ]

[wrongtiming]

[It brings a smile, slightly amused.]

Have you played before, or did they not have Tetris back home?

[rosebridled]

They had games similar to this, I think. I just never really played them.

[ Would she be doing a better job right now if she had? Who knows. ]

You've played this one before, then?

[wrongtiming]

Yeah, it's really popular where I come from.

[He tilts his head, though.]

What kind of stuff did you do instead? Back home, I mean.

[rosebridled]

I took care of the flowers in the garden and my animal friends, mostly.

I did play card games too, and sometimes I'd play the piano or knit or draw. Or watch TV.

[ On some portable black and white thing from the 80s. ]

[wrongtiming]

Animal friends? So it's not just Chu-Chu?

[Overall, though:]

It sounds nice.

[rosebridled]

Well, Chu-Chu is on a special level of his own.

[ He is 100% friend, the others are more on a pet level. ]

But yes, there's Catherine and Juliet and Marcelina and Mongoose-san and Nanami...

[wrongtiming]

[The smile stays, growing a bit.]

What kind of animals are they? Other than, uh, the Mongoose one. That's pretty self explanatory.

[rosebridled]

Snails and a cow.
