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...?

AN ANNOUNCEMENT

[foundationmods]

[Much like on Sunday, the Staff ushers you all to the Lobby at around 8 am. The Lady from before is there, her beautiful face gazing impassively at all of you.]

Welcome, Guests. We have an announcement - we would like for everyone to participate in a game. A game commonly known as 'Mafia.'

[There's a pause as a notification goes off on all of your tablets (or bitphone, for Yoshi), alerting you to a new set of rules on display.]

I believe that this game will provide enough entertainment for you, our Guests, as the weather slowly begins to get better. We hope that you enjoy your stay with us, and we will have another meeting like this on Friday, when body discovery happens.

No matter what happens, remember that this is a very important game. Refusal to play it will not be tolerated, and will be summarily punished.

Have a nice day.

[Much like before, The Lady quickly leaves - leaving only behind the Staff to direct your questions to. Yet...can you really get a straight answer from them, after what happened last time...?]

[diesifkilled]

You call it a game, but ...are people actually going to die?

[messianic]

They can't...seriously mean that, can they...?

[He's got the rules in hand as well, frown small on his face but nonetheless distinct.

What the fuck.]

That's insane.

[foundationmods]

[The Staff are Ominously silent at that.]

[swordhandled]

If lives were truly on the line, would they still call it a game?

[latebluemer]

... They're not going to tell us, are they? Until we find out for ourselves.

[She's a lot more serious than she's been so far, which is a lot more serious than Blue Angel usually ever is, even in the midst of a duel. There's... been a lot happening, and this is just the cherry on top of that sundae.]

[delusive]

You really think that's what they mean by that?

[dereban]

[ Hey, what the hell.

No, seriously. What the fuck. She is looking at the rules on her tablet, but her hands are also shaking just a little bit. ]

What did she mean by "punishment"?

[foundationmods]

Punishment is punishment. If you refuse to play, you will be killed.

[After a pause-]

In the game, of course.

[purrtagonist]

[someone is super on edge this morning, holding himself tensely and tersely. and the moment The Lady begins to leave--]

-- HEY! Don't leave yet! I've got questions for you!

[for her. not her staff]

[foundationmods]

[The Lady is still briskly walking away, and while she glances back - she doesn't stop in her brisk stride down the hall.]

[whirlingmace]

This sounds like a game of hide and seek.

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[He was leaning against a wall during, arms folded over his chest during the announcement. Afterward, Ryoga was looking rather like a roiling storm cloud before he suddenly pushes himself off the wall - and immediately swivel around to punch it]

What the hell?!

[dolleyed]

I was waiting for the other shoe to drop on the weirdness of this, but that's straight up deranged.

[ He'll try and grab a staff member by the collar. ]

Yo, get your boss lady back in here or you'll deal with more than a black eye!

[perfeccion]

Wait just a moment. Participation in this game is mandatory?

[13thpromise]

Wait - stop! None of us signed up for this!

[ He'll try to follow her, how successful is he in that ]

[escardos]

Eh?! Kill?! That's the opposite of fun!

[ ???????????? ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He just kinda... starts to laugh. It's a little more tense and a little less steady than what he would have given yesterday.

Someone looks ready to grab the nearest staff, though. ]

[moonlightbeast]

[That.

That sure is a thing.

Atsushi isn't going to ask the staff any questions though, and is opting for just sitting in the lobby and trying to make himself appear as small and inconspicuous as possible.

Because he sure is glad he didn't tell anyone he's in the actual literal mafia.]

[blutsauger]

Hm.

Has this game been played here, before?

[latebluemer]

I'm getting really tired of games like this.

[Which is maybe a bit of a comical or ironic statement for those who know her circumstances. Anyway. It's a lower, harder voice than she's used so far, and she's definitely glaring, but she doesn't make a move yet. Blue Angel.exe is processing.....]

[justonezero]

[Yoshi just stares at the Lady the entire time, but- is there any unusual data he can glean from her? Particularly if he surreptitiously tries to run the conversion app for anything deeper?]

[wrongtiming]

[There’s alarm in his voice, certainly, but not as much as might be expected after hearing news like that.]

Okay, wow, this is... This is a new one. [Yikes.] I wasn’t really expecting the Battle Royale treatment.

Vague Hints At Ndrv3 spoilers.

[jumpedtheshark]

[..... Tsumugi is just quietly narrowing her eyes at all this. At least they aren't ripping off that like she thought they might, but still! It's a little close for comfort and there's still waves of irritation radiating off Tsumugi can't quite bring herself to conceal.]

[maskarang]

[ once the lady departs, so does he. he has no questions to ask and nothing to say about any of this. ]
