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...?

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?

[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"?

[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]

[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 ]

[tacticalespionageaction]

[Hnrrhg]

What do you think they mean by punishment if we don't?

[escardos]

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

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

[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.

[diesifkilled]

I think they do.

[He wishes he could be surprised by any of this.]

[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. ]

[whirlingmace]

A.

[ After the announcement, Cinque can be found still in her Moogle pajamas holding a cup of hot chocolate. She's bouncing with the music playing. ]

I'm not really good at playing hide and seek. Sicey would say it's because I'm dimwitted.

[ Her siblings love her honestly. ]

B.

[ Later on, after she's dressed, she's checking for places to hide. Maybe you'll catch sight of her long braid or the bright red of her skirt before she jumps out. ]

Boo!

[ She's practicing for the game the staff wants them to play. ]

[foundationmods]

[The Staff are Ominously silent at that.]

[perfeccion]

Well... Considering how strange the rest of this place is... and the note Mrs. Ripley found, I suspect they might make us disappear.

[messianic]

[??? ??? ??!?!??]

This... is a little hard to process...

[No matter how he looks at it, it's totally crazy.]

[perfeccion]

It's... not really like hide and seek. At all.

[foundationmods]

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

[After a pause-]

In the game, of course.

[perfeccion]

Of course.
