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...?

A FRIEND...?

[resortghosts]

[A little after the announcement, and after everyone has had some time to process what just happened....Your tablets go off again. This time, it's due to an app being downloaded onto all of them, with a cute little ghost as the logo.

You all also instantly get a Message.]

Hi.

I wouldn't be contacting you all if I didn't think I needed to. I'd planned on just watching and seeing what happened, but with what The Resort is doing, well - I clearly can't do that anymore.

Let's start this off right. You can call me The Apprentice, and I am the person who died here 6 months ago. It's...complicated, and I don't want to get into it here - and trust me, it has nothing to do with your situation right now.

The reason I'm contacting you all is that there's more to this game than what they're telling you. Last night - things happened.

Some of you aren't human anymore. And by human, I mean 'yourselves, uncontrolled by anything else.' And if they're willing to let Guests be harmed or killed, then I'm sure that this game is being played for the benefit of the Monsters here.

I can't tell you who they are, or even what they are. I'm not sure myself. But I wanted you to know so you could protect yourselves.

If you want to talk to me for anything, just contact me through this app. I'll try to answer you as soon as I can, or talk to me now.

[And that seems to be it.]

[blutsauger]

OH HELLO I HOPR U DONT M,IND I GAVE UR SKULL TO YM BIRD

[This is a man from 1972 who has never seen a cell phone and has giant hands. I hope you like terrible messages that haven't been proofread.]

[resortghosts]

[Why]

Please give me my bones back.

All of them.

[perfeccion]

YOU GAVE THE SKULL TO THAT BLASTED PIGEON?!

[latebluemer]

What kind of a doctor are you??

[You even got her to put two question marks. God.]

[xenoqueen]

why would you give your bird the remains of a human being

[dereban]

[ Oh, thanks, she hates this information. ]

Why exactly are you telling us this? Just so that we could protect ourselves?

[escardos]

[ flat looks around, looking concerned ] Did anyone else get this message?!

[latebluemer]

Why are you called The Apprentice? Are you living in the network, or a ghost?

[What kind of questions are you making her type, but whatever.]

As for the Monsters, what you're saying is that even if nobody wanted to kill each other, it could happen. That's how they're going to get their twisted game going. Am I on the right track?

[moonlightbeast]

[Seems fake.

But still...]

"The mind may err..."

[xenoqueen]

so they weren't lying about the killing part, huh?

how...would we tell if we weren't human?

[winter1982]

how can yout type if youre dead?

[just wondering why are touch screens so hard to use]

[justonezero]

[Oh, a chat function! That's neat!

Can he analyze the program any?]

[13thpromise]

what do you mean
what do the monsters want

[diesifkilled]

How do we find out who is a monster?

[perfeccion]

[... Curious.]

Greetings, Apprentice. I suppose it is another trick of this place that I cannot see or interact with you, a person who I assume is a spirit. As for the game, I suspected as much. What do you mean by monsters?

[duskhound]

Things happened last night... Is this connected to the dreams, too?

[purrtagonist]

[most people are already asking the questions Akira would ask, so. . .]

It took me an hour to wash that ink and glitter out of my hair.

[whirlingmace]

Hello, Appy!
Is it lonely there?

[enter_the_darkness]

Why such a lame icon?

[imstuck]

I’m sorry.

Are we ALL just going to gloss over the claim that some of us ARENT HUMAN anymore?

[geckodad]

[Iwai stared at the message for such a long while, wondering how exactly he should take or reply to this. Nonsense, really.

But...with everything that's going on...this seems serious]

Prove we should listen to you.

[Make things seem awful and then give an ally who isn't actually an ally but is going to push them further into the horror. That's a possibility, in Iwai's opinion]

[rosebridled]

Thank you, it's very thoughtful of you to help us.

:)

[jumpedtheshark]

I saw that you said in another response that you have a name other than The Apprentice, but don't feel comfortable sharing it now. Do you think we can give you a stand-in name for you to use until then? Or a nickname?

[The Apprentice is a lot to type out.]

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[Everyone asked about most of the questions he would've thought of]

How are we defend ourselves?

[If someone's being controlled against their wills, he really doesn't want to kill them in self-defense]
