WEEK 1 - MINGLE

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...?

[perfeccion]

I am an Arrancar, an evolved kind of Hollow. Hollows are a certain kind of ghost, actually! So I and our friend have more in common, though I am unsure if the same rules apply in this world.

[tacticalespionageaction]

ghosts arent real

[perfeccion]

Maybe not where you're from. I'm sure each world has its own particular set of rules.

[tacticalespionageaction]

each world?

[ok theres some dubious time/memory bs going on but worlds?????]

[perfeccion]

Of course! Just by reading the profiles and examining everyone's souls I can tell that not everyone is from the same plane of existence. It may seem like a leap of logic, but I assure you, the concept of parallel worlds isn't just science fiction! Even my own world has multiple realms.

[tacticalespionageaction]

examining everyones souls??

[perfeccion]

Of course. It's my sixth sense, as basic to me as seeing and hearing.

[tacticalespionageaction]

rrrrrrrrrrright

[perfeccion]

Your incredulity is both expected and amusing. If it doesn't exist for you, then it just doesn't exist at all, is that it? Does the color blue cease to exist if a blind man cannot comprehend it?

[tacticalespionageaction]

[Hrrrmmrhhgh.]

are you sure you’re not just hallucinating?

[perfeccion]

If I were, they would be awfully consistent, scientifically reproducible hallucinations.

[whirlingmace]

[ Looking up from the screen. ]

Shh! Appy can hear you.

[ Don't be rude to the new ghost friend ]

[tacticalespionageaction]

Can it?

[Less of a ghost thing and more of a “should he be worried about being monitored right now?” thing.]

[latebluemer]

This is too many ghosts at once. Aren't you solid?

[Also she's pretty sure she lives next to this guy and that he is definitely solid?? What the heck.]

And why would ghosts evolve?? They're dead.

[perfeccion]

That, I cannot answer. Usually the average human cannot see me. My only thought is that I must have been modified in some way... maybe by whatever stole our memories?

There is much, much more to "life" once a soul departs the world of the living, my dear.

[latebluemer]

... They changed me too, but it's still a little much to do that to a ghost, isn't it? Since we can't make the Apprentice prove it... can you prove it?

[At least it would be satisfying. She has no idea what she's asking for but. #yolo]

I wouldn't know about the afterlife. I've never died, and I'm okay with keeping it that way.

[perfeccion]

Prove it? I'm not sure how I would. I am... not actually capable of things ghosts do in the movies, I'm afraid. But I will do what I can?

I can prove I am an Arrancar, though.

[latebluemer]

What can you do? How would you do that?

[perfeccion]

Arrancar are capable of releasing their true power, sealed in the form of a sword. This is known as Resurrección.

... of course, the only things you know about Arrancar are what I tell you. In truth, there's no way to prove anything.

[latebluemer]

Well, that's true. But that's true for a lot of the things on our profiles and the things we say about ourselves, isn't it?

So you're some kind of superpowered ascended ghost... scientist?

[Is she the only one who finds the scientist part almost the weirdest part of this.]

[perfeccion]

Exactly. It's impossible to know what's really true.

I suppose that's one way of putting it, yes.

[latebluemer]

But if you get hung up on it, you'll never get anywhere...

Still, what about the Monsters? And what the ghost -- the Apprentice said about how they changed us? Even if you're not human, it's not great, is it?

[perfeccion]

No, indeed. I would not enjoy being changed into something else against my will, even if I am already what most humans would consider a "monster", albeit a very polite and controlled one. It's a matter of consent, you see.

[latebluemer]

Hmm, you look pretty human, so does that mean that when you power up you turn into something crazy?

[She'd normally be more polite if she wasn't Blue Angel. But. She's Blue Angel. So you get this.]

I don't think I'd want to be a monster even if they gave me a choice. It's pretty bad for my image.

[perfeccion]

Haha! Well. I don't think my true form looks very crazy... I remain fairly humanoid, actually. But I think that form is even more beautiful than my sealed one...!

Ah? And what image is that?
