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...?

[ Up to this point, Vanitas has made an effort to keep to himself. But, at some point earlier in the week, he asked the staff for a journal and some pens, as well as some construction paper and string.

Today, he can be seen casually drawing... something... on some yellow paper? Then tearing the paper until it vaguely forms the shape of the, uh... the thing??? Whatever the thing is (it's a bee, but, like...??)

After stabbing some holes on the sides, he'll be casually putting that hideous creation over Yoshi's face. He just felt like it. ]



also throughout the day...

[ Mr. Edgy is going to be spending a lot of time sitting alone and writing. He can also be seen looking at someone for a little while, only to go back to writing and pretending he totally wasn't just staring at them (hi, Roxas).

Alternatively, he can be seen poking around in the kitchen area. He doesn't like asking the staff for things and he is kind of hungry. He hasn't exactly experimented with food, and he's feeling curious. ]

sitting alone and writing;

[13thpromise]

[ Today's been definitely a day, but at one point he's crossing through the lobby, looking around and then out of the corner of his eye he saw a certain dark-haired male taking a peek at him. It wasn't very inconspicuous, but Roxas pretended not to notice...though now this got him curious.

He had to know what Vanitas was writing!

So, the blond gets the wonderful idea of slipping out of the room, and then when he comes back in, his footsteps are featherlike, creeping closer to Vanitas, trying to see if he can get closer from behind so he can see what he was writing. ]

I'm so glad for this tag

[enter_the_darkness]

[ So, Roxas just so happened to catch Vanitas as he was getting deep into writing. Because of that, not only will Roxas be able to sneak up behind him, he will be able to catch a glimpse of the pages.

On one side there is a... drawing. It-... Well... it's??? ... Yeah.

... As for the rest of it? ]

[justonezero]

[And now he has a mask.

Blink blink blink.]

What's this?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He shrugs. ]

I just felt like it. It suits you.

[ vanitas plz. no the fuck it doesn't ]

[justonezero]

I get the feeling I'm getting pranked!

[Though he makes no move to remove it.]

What is it?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Without skipping a beat: ]

You'll know when you see it.

[ W-... will he, Vanitas...

Will he... ]

[justonezero]

Can I take it off to see, then?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He shrugs!!! ]

Do whatever you want with it.

1/2

[justonezero]

Okay!

[So he'll take it off and look and-]

2/2

[justonezero]

[...Ummmm.]

I still have no idea what this is.

[whirlingmace]

[ Here's some sunshine to hang with that edge. Cinque isn't with anyone at the moment, and there's Vanie all alone! So she'll just walk over and plop down in the seat next to him. ]

Hi hi. What are you up to?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He blinks but doesn't actually bother looking over. ]

Nothing, really.

[ There's a pause... ... He. Hasn't actually read her profile, yet. She seemed kind of... ... weak? harmless? so he's been focusing on everyone else's. ]

Did you need something?

[whirlingmace]

[ It's okay there's nothing weird about her profile at all! ]

Nope, I don't need anything at all.

[ Says that, while still sitting there and smiling. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Surely he won't see anything interesting!!!

Also, he's slowly looking over at her...? ?? ???? ? ]

Then why?

[whirlingmace]

Because you're all alone over here.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He gives a small shrug. ]

I'm used to that sort of thing.

[whirlingmace]

That doesn't mean you should be though.

kitchen area

[jumpedtheshark]

[Tsumugi pauses outside of the kitchen area when she catches a glimpse of Vanitas in there. It's not an environment she ever expected to see him in, that's for sure. This prompts her to enter the kitchen to see what's going on.]

Are you looking for something Vanitas-kun?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Ah, it's her. He looks over with a slight shrug. ]

There are a lot of things here that I never even saw in any of the worlds I've been to. I guess you could say I got curious.

[ No, you couldn't just say that; that's actually what happened, Vanitas, jeez. ]

[jumpedtheshark]

[Tsumugi nods.]

That makes sense.

[She doesn't have much of anything to do today, and seeing his reactions to things certainly won't be boring.]

Well, if you want anything explained, just ask, alright?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He's going to be quiet for a moment... There have been a few tugs at his gut - he can't explain it, but it's kind of like she knows more than she's letting on, even if that would be ridiculous. Hm.

Asking someone to explain something, though... is not something he's used to. It's only ever been Master Xehanort, and that guy made him. There was always a firm tug to obey him, even if he didn't have to listen to it. ]

Doubt I'll need anything explained... since it all seems pretty self-explanatory, here.

[ Sort... of??? Yes, a lot of the stuff he just pulled out is instant stuff. Yes, a lot of it is step-by-step instructions right on the packaging. But... Guess who's never so much as tried something spicy. He's always had simple foods that he could afford. He's holding up some noodles in a cup. ]

It's all just a matter of adding water and heating it up, according to a lot of these...

[jumpedtheshark]

Yeah... I guess you'll be fine as long as you follow all the instructions.

[Tsumugi looks at the cup noodles in surprise. Ah, the trademark food of shut-ins everywhere.]

You're right, cup noodle is plain simple to make. It's like the starting skill on a cooking skill tree.

[She walks over and grabs her own cup noodle. She probably doesn't need to worry about Vanitas starting a fire with this as long as he doesn't make the mistake of putting it in the microwave.]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Fortunately, he's going to actually read it one more time before he gets started on this thing. As he's getting this going: ]

Skill tree...?

[jumpedtheshark]

[She'll hang around to make sure no fires are started then. She wants to make her own cup noodle any way.]

It's a video game mechanic. You start out with only one plain skill, and as you level up and put experience into it, you unlock other skills.
