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...?

[Most of the white blood cells fall back at the assault, but the woman in the maid outfit just continues to smile, approaching steadily.

Might wanna clamber into that vent as quickly as possible - she's coming.]

[purrtagonist]

[he is hauling ASS, believe me, pulling his feet into the vent as quickly as he can so no part of him is left hanging out. and then he is crawling as fast as his little arms and legs will take him right back where he first came]

[foundationmods]

[As he crawls, he'll find himself halfway through the fleshy bits before a noise alerts him that the woman is in the vents as well.

And as he keeps moving, it's a battle between them both - she begins to slowly catch up, cleaver somehow still in hand, that ever present smile on her face even as the vent turns back into metal and a bright light shines in front of him-!




And just like that, Akira Kurusu falls the fuck out of the vent and back into the lobby]

[justonezero]

[Why are y'all just doing so much today. Yoshi's getting exhausted just watching you all.]

[purrtagonist]

[BUT IS HE SAFE???]

[he tucks and rolls his landing, popping back onto his feet in an instant as he whirls on his heel to face the vent, combat dagger clenched tightly in red-gloved hands. his coat swirls with him when he moves, because I mean. still dressed as Joker]

[and he waits, to see if the macrophage will tumble out of the vent after him]

[foundationmods]

[She appears in the vent opening, blinking at everyone there. She then looks back at Akira, as if comprehending something.

Turning on her walkie-talkie (where did that even come from???), she says something in a completely incomprehensible language, and then waves at everyone before disappearing back into the vent.

When she's gone, a new vent cover grows back over the opening.]

[purrtagonist]

[. . . it's only after she disappears that Akira relaxes, arm falling loosely at his side. he spends a few more seconds staring at the vent opening, before--]

What the fuck?

[ANYWAY. IF ANYONE WANTS TO ASK HIM QUESTIONS, HE'S. . . HERE]

[justonezero]

[Might as well give him a looksie to make sure he's fine physically?]

[purrtagonist]

[he is! no injuries here]

Yoshi-kun?

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[Unless otherwise noted, he has a bloody bird on him]

What... who was that?

[purrtagonist]

Iiiii don't know, but she was definitely trying to kill me.

[he says that so blandly, but he sounds a bit incredulous too?]

[moonlightbeast]

[YEAH UH

ATSUSHI IS. STARING AT THE VENT COVER. Because a lot of Weird Shit has happened this week, but that takes the cake.]

...um. A-another staff member?

[Please explain he is so confused.]

[purrtagonist]

No.

[saying that quickly as he carefully sheathes his combat knife in his belt]

It was a. . . white blood cell?

[that's what the guy's had said, right?]

[whirlingmace]

[ She's waving back to the person in the vent and then looking at Akira. ]

Hey Sataling! Did you make a new friend?

[messianic]

[WHAT THE FUCK...]

Akira--

[??? ????]

Are you okay?

[wrongtiming]

[Glances at the vent. Glances at Akira.]

...I can’t believe I have to ask this again already, but do I want to ask?

[13thpromise]

[ He doesn't look injured, but... ]

...What happened?

[perfeccion]

[Szayel nearly spits out his tea.

But he does manage to... wave... back??? before the woman disappears]

.... you have some explaining to do, Mr. Kurusu.

[escardos]

What happened?!

[ THERE WAS A WOMAN THAT DISAPPEARED THROUGH THE VENT??? ]

[latebluemer]

What the hell?

[That was something between a shriek and a yelp and also she just flat out yeeted the water bottle she was drinking from straight up at the vent.

It doesn’t actually reach the vent but Akira might want to duck I am Sorry. Today has already been A Day between this guy and Szayel and not-really-people-bits and she is So Done.]

[geckodad]

...what's the short version?

[What's up, Akira? You look alarmed. Found anything of use in those vents? Iwai wants to hear details!]

[xenoqueen]

[Ripley is here now because of the commotion and, well, there's a large crowd gathered here now. She's been listening to everyone else speak, gathering what's happened. After a few minutes, she says in a flat tone--]

Well. If we all don't die tomorrow, who's with me on trying to get out of this hellish place?

[jumpedtheshark]

Kurusu-kun!?

[Oh wow he's alive. Tsumugi wasn't sure what to expect and has been waiting around to find out his status.]

Who... who was that?

[justfists]

Akira?!

[oh my god she looks a little... horrified?]

[thejusticewagon]

...Yeah, uh, that's also my reaction... what the heck was goin' on there?
