WEEK ONE: MINGLE
WEEK ONE
OCCUPANCY: 34
Rise and shine, little monsters. A new week is waiting just for you. The events of yesterday may have been hard to stomach, but time heals all wounds, after all. The damages the house has incurred over the last week have been reverted and the staff is hard at work fulfilling their roles in this mansion. A piping hot breakfast is served in the dining room promptly at 7am, every square inch of floor and furniture has been cleaned spotless, and...the sound of birds chirping fills the hallway. The sun's shining brightly through the glass windows, and the curtain has been drawn back from the doors in the ballroom. The barriers blocking off the stairs down to the basement and to the balconies have been removed, and all guests may now explore these areas.
For anyone who ventures into the ballroom, a new change may become apparent. Should you choose to look at the plaques long enough, two images will flicker and change sporadically. While Haruka's portrait remains the same, on occasion it will change to an image of a pale, scratched up woman with yellow foam dripping from the corner of her lips. Likewise, Nikki's portrait looks just like herself, though if you blink you may miss it changing into the image of a large, rabid rat. There is no rhyme and reason for the change...though perhaps it serves as a reminder to those who remain.
Additionally, the house rules have been moved from the ballroom and back into the hallway, mounted in the entryway as they were.
But with this new bit of freedom comes another strange set of circumstances, you see. Starting today you'll find that the urge to give in to some nasty little traits has grown stronger. Greed, Pride, Jealousy....any of those seven deadly feelings will begin to bubble up inside you. Can you remain calm under the weight of your sins?
Perhaps so. Perhaps you're the type who's capable of ignoring these feelings even in your worst moments. You may be a beacon of hope for those who struggle with their emotions, but something else seems amiss. Even if you've managed to avoid those prickly feelings, some of you may experience a brain fog, making your thoughts hazy and hard to focus. Others may find themselves with a constant craving for sustenance, an insatiable hunger...though it may not be for food alone. And others still...it is a bit alarming for your arm to detach itself from your body, isn't it? Why would your feet run away without you? Best take stock of all of your limbs now because for the next week they may be just a bit too easy to remove. Don't lose your head over it though. They'll reattach easily enough.
You may experience only some of these events. Then again, maybe you're unlucky and you're experiencing all of these events at different points in time. Time is of the essence, however, and come Monday at noon a rustling crackle of static can be heard from overhead. Try as you might, you won't be able to find the speakers but a message will play loud and clear for all.

There is no rope around here that I can find. Maybe you'll have better luck? Maybe there's a wifi hotspot somewhere in the forest...
[ doubtful ]
no subject
You know trees tend to break up signals, right?
no subject
Even at the top of trees?

[ maybe if she says it as gently and lightly and sweetly as possible he'll think about what it is he's saying. ]

[ Walls......... block wifi???? He doesn't know how this works, 45, Ayabe is more reasonable than anybody I play but that does not mean he is smart. ]
no subject
She supposes a tree technically counts as elevated, but... ]
... Remind me what sort of signal it is you're trying to find?
[ You would see any sort of antenna array over the height of any surrounding terrain, usually, line of sight propagation and all that... ]
And are you trying to find a way out, or find a signal? I hadn't realised you got anything like that back...
[ did anyone else here get cell phones or communicators of some sort. ]
no subject
Wifi?
[ Ayabe looks up at the sky, because what do you mean signal is transmitted through towers and not beamed directly down from the sky? Shouldn't there be satellites or something? ]
Ideally, I want to find a way out. But if not, wifi is the next best thing to connect... didn't you have something? You were looking for a signal when we first met.
no subject
very patiently: ]
I don't think I've heard of anyone who would set up a wifi network in the middle of a forest. [ unless it's local only maybe? but if it's local only with no access to the rest of the world there's less risk in just letting them onto it, unless it's how blue communicates to his servants... hm. ] Radio, maybe, or I guess cell towers might be more likely in this time, but those should be higher up so nothing else gets in the way...
... There is the tiny chance that if they've been communicating with the outside, they might have set it up out there where none of us can get to it, but why would they have let us out into the grounds, in that case?
no subject
Because we would have set fire to the building and gone crazy with cabin fever if they didn't? They've been accommodating, when they feel like it. They shouldn't want us to all fight each other senselessly in there.
[ It's like raising a bunch of fighting chickens but you still have to raise them and take care of them ]
no subject
You'd think they'd want us to if the goal is for us to kill each other.
[ what was that the broadcast said, you gotta murder or your secrets will be out there? ]
no subject
What do you think the goal could be, if we're supposed to kill once a week, but not all at once?
