WEEK ZERO: WELCOME INTRO

[cluedin]

WELCOME

Even from behind your eyelids, the soft glowing light can be seen as you find yourself awakening. The slow swell of strings begins, and as you struggle to open your eyes, the sound of footsteps pass you by. You soon hear three feminine voices speak in unison.

"Master Blue wishes to welcome you all. We hope you enjoy your stay!"

Light temporarily blinds you as you look around, but the source of the voices has vanished. Whomever has greeted you seems to have disappeared without warning, leaving you all alone.

The music starts up and though no orchestra is present, the song can be heard all throughout the room. Crystal chandeliers hang above your head, and the waxed wooden floor gleams brightly. Floor to ceiling windows cover the back wall and a night sky full of stars twinkle back at you. The wall next to it, however, is covered by a thick crimson curtain. Those who attempt to move it will find they have little luck in their endeavor, but there are more pressing matters at hand.

Looking down you'll come to notice that you're wearing clothes that certainly aren't what you were previously wearing. You, and the guests around you, have been dressed appropriately in formal attire properly fitted for each individual.

Oh. That's right. Didn't we mention the other guests? Seated to your left, right, and across from you at the long banquet table are other people just like you. Perhaps it's a friend you know, though don't be surprised if it's a complete stranger. Each individual holds a blue and silver invitation with their name scrawled upon it, and a message to follow.

"Please respond to Master Blue's invitation at least one week prior to the event to secure your seat and accommodations.

This dinner is guaranteed to be an event to die for."

Strange, isn't it?

But rest assured! Nothing is stopping you from leaving the ballroom and exploring the other rooms of Master Blue's home. After all, you're an honored guest! It's with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that you're welcomed here tonight. Really, what's your hurry? It's not as though the front door will open for you. Don't bother with the windows either. They've all been locked tight to ensure you're all nice and cozy for your stay.

If you look under your seat, you'll find a special gift bag with your name on it. Opening these bags will reveal the following:

-A small spiral notebook
-A crayon in a specific shade of blue
-Three different candles
-A brass key (Design May Vary.)
-This cute toy

A welcome gift from the Master, of course.

Take some time to admire the decor, if you will. The house has been decorated for this special holiday with chains of paper hearts, miniature golden cupid statues, and confetti that rains down from the ceiling on occasion. Perhaps you'll get lucky tonight with love in the air, especially since Cupid's arrow seems to aim for you no matter where you go. For those of you who don't wish to partake in the lavish feast spread out in the ballroom, you're in luck. Boxes of chocolate and bowls of candy hearts can be found for all your snacking needs.

As the unseen orchestra plays on, it seems as though you've no choice but to get to know your fellow guests and make yourselves comfortable. Perhaps if you wait long enough, someone will come to greet you.

Huuuh?!

[Mammon was just standing here, trying to mentally count how many forks he saw in the dining room and failing, and now he's?? SUDDENLY FALLING??? with the loudest, most indignant yelp ever as Ash just falls back into him because he wasn't paying attention at all. Bye Mammon. We knew you well.]

[counterclocked]

Whoa, whoa—!

[Hunter, though he has not had superhuman strength for one single day of his life, is a fool who's still instinctively reaching out to try and stop people from falling. And failing miserably, and immediately starting to fall as he's hit by this ever growing row of people. RIP us all.]

[getdrekt]

[Look who it is, just in time to get fucking destroyed by MULTITUDE PEOPLE BOUNCING OFF A BARRIER, dogpiling on the steps. He grunts in surprise—then gasps at the sudden weight pressing him down.]

Get off of me, you idiots! What are you doing?! Have you all lost your minds already!?

[He's essentially flailing to little affect, but the leg kickies are definitely being felt by... someone. It's genuinely hard to know who at this point.]

[disreguarded]

[ She should be watching where she's going, but she isn't, which means - ah. That's a lot of people just ricocheting off a barrier, hello. She yelps, and absolutely just shoves the last person - so Asch, really - directly into the person closest to him in an attempt to not get bowled over. To no effect.

And then falls on her ass. Ow. ]

[miscakes]

[Between Asch kicking and Beauregard shoving, Akechi is going to roll off Nikki, stare at the pile, and immediately wish for death.

Someone please kill him. Put the toy to good use. Release him from this flesh prison.]

I—! [Hm.] My most sincere apologies. Is everyone alright?

[someone please decide how tagging is gonna work because i, kyuu, am too busy crying]

[dressupqueen]

[Well, this sure is a thing. Nikki scrambles up and rubs at her back - that kind of hurt - before turning back to the pile and extending a hand out to Zenitsu to try and help him up.]

I think I'm okay... um, but are all of you...?

[idk man i'm just sticking to the original order for now]

I VOTE FOR CHAOS

[getdrekt]

[Asch waits for no man, woman, or gender of preference.]

I--SAID--GET--OFF!

[A tremendous show of strength is being demonstrated here, with the pile of bodies above him juddering and heaving. Still, the lack of leverage from his depth in the tower suggests it won't work until there's less than a few hundred pounds crushing his spine slowly to dust.]

chaos it is

[wakizashis]

[ being so smol and tiny and caught somewhere in the middle of this, Hori's wheezing from where he's just trapped. fuckin rip ]

ayyy

[disreguarded]

[ beau has taken it upon herself to roll over to the pile to start shoving people off of each other like a human bulldozer. she's also laughing her ass off because this is stupid ]

CHAOS

[dressupqueen]

[Nikki is ... honestly kind of torn between laughing and panicking, so she's just going to try and help disentangle people from the pile so that the people trapped at the bottom can get free of all this!]

Sorry, sorry...!
