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...?

[Makoto is hovering near room 105 today in the morning, looking at least a little ill at ease. Going into a ghost's room was not at the top of her priorities, but she needs to verify something. After a moment, she finally ducks inside. and well, who wants to find out what she's sneakily investigating?

But if you don't catch her then, you will at lunch, when suddenly she disappears into the kitchen and returns with two pans.

which she promptly bang together with a loud clang. She looks at all of you, and announces,]

Whoever brought us here can turn back time. We need to be even more careful.

[later, she's outside, taking a walk around and investigating the grounds. It's also a prime opportunity to jumpscare her. if you really want to.]

Lunch

[justonezero]

[........]

Sorry?

[How do you... react to this...]

[justfists]

It was April 2019 before we arrived. Not November 2018.

Lunch

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[Ryoga snaps his metal chopsticks in half when Makoto started to clang the pans]

Wha-Wha... Whaaaaaaaaat?

[justfists]

[she understands, it's. not an easy explanation? to believe?]

I've found documentation that it was April next year before we arrived. And... well, some firsthand accounts.

[she isn't sure if she should out her source.]

Lunch

[imstuck]

[Phil does a spittake when he hears this. He takes a few moments to stare at Makoto in shock before he finally responds.]

... Holy shit that explains everything

[justfists]

[that? wasn't the reaction she was expecting?]

Wait, it does?

morning

[dereban]

. . . what are you up to?

[ While Inaba's room is nowhere near 105, she knows it's a room of interest, hence why she's asking as she walks by. ]

[justfists]

Oh! I... wanted to verify something the Apprentice told me.

[she stops at the door, but honestly, she's still pushing it open.]

Even though this was apparently his room, it still feels wrong to intrude.

[perfeccion]

What now? How have you divined this?

[justfists]

I looked at the records at the desk. I showed it at yesterday's meeting, the page from their record I'd managed to take. It was from March next year.

And I verified something that the Apprentice told me. The time has reverted to November last year.

clang

[jumpedtheshark]

Umm... Isn't that just plain impossible?

[It'd explain several things to Tsumugi... but she'd rather hear Makoto's evidence first.]

[justfists]

I would think so as well, but I managed to look at their records yesterday. It was all from the spring timeframe, next year.

And I verified something else I was told by the Apprentice.

Besides, the weather between spring and winter is different enough, it's safe to say that they didn't just change the calendars.

lunch;

[13thpromise]

Turn...back time?

[ Roxas looks so dismayed at hearing that. He didn't think there'd be more ridiculous feats that they could perform. But looks like someone said "hold my beer" instead. ]

How do you know that?

[justfists]

I looked at the records at the reception desk for a few moments before they caught me, and noticed the discrepancy there.

[she is very rigid here, adopting a much more formal stance than the girl who had screamed randomly during the chat with the Apprentice yesterday. today, she's very much all business.]

I was able to verify the dates based off of another clue from the Apprentice, and... well, needless to say, this isn't spring weather.

[moonlightbeast]

[You know. He's heard of weirder things, so.]

You think they'll turn back time on us if they don't get the results they want?

[justfists]

I don't know. I think we'd need to know why they turned back time in the first place.

[was it to trap them?]

Lunch

[geckodad]

[Okay, that's a strange announcement]

What's that supposed to mean?

[He did notice something's weird about time and stuff -- everyone comes from a different time -- but this seems to be different to that]

[justfists]

The records I found at the reception desk indicated that it was some time in the spring next year, but that's not possible. They've somehow changed the time to be November last year.

105

[maskarang]

[ When he catches her sneaking into a room, all he can think of is Cinque and how she jumped out at him. Is this going to be a repeat? Please, no. Frowning, he follows her in. ]

Why are you sneaking around?

[justfists]

[she jumps a little in surprise?? What?]

Oh! No, I'm not sneaking... per se.... I'm investigating.

[wrongtiming]

[For whatever reason, he doesn't look too shocked by the idea of reversing time, but...]

Uh... How do you know that?

Lunch

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Whoa, okay that's definitely one way to get everyone's attention...?! That's definitely... something though.]

There's... probably a lot I could ask, but first off: what brought this on all of a sudden? I get it's important for everyone to know, but I'm not sure this is the best way to do it.

[latebluemer]

Oh. This is about the dates you found before?

[It's more rhetorical, since I assume she's listened to some of the chatter around about ghostly tally marks and other things, but it still takes her a few moments to digest it.]

I mean, we knew that time was weird here. [she's been saying they might be lying about the time, but...] You said that it had something to do with the dead person, right? The one we... met. Maybe.

[She's still not totally sure about this ghost story.]

It's stupid, but the most cliche reason to turn back time is to stop someone from dying or bring back someone who's dead. He's pretty obviously still dead, though.

lunch

[thejusticewagon]

...huh?

But... how does that work? Do they just move this place to another world a while earlier?
