WEEK FOUR

OCCUPANCY: 25

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 Pumpkin is...probably around tending to the animals outside. As you exit your rooms on this lovely morning, guests will find that the barrier leading upstairs has diminished, and a new floor has been opened to explore.

For anyone who ventures into the ballroom, a new change may become apparent. Should you choose to look at the plaques long enough, three images will flicker and change sporadically. While Subete's portrait remains the same, on occasion it will change to an image of a disembodied head, expression frozen in shock. Likewise, Dazai's portrait looks just like himself, though if you blink you may miss it changing into a hulking, dark nine-tailed fox with blood glistening in its teeth. Finally, Anya's portrait reveals a picture of the young girl, but every now and then a blossom of red appears on her pristine outfit as the light fades from her eyes. 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.

After weeks of getting to know each other, you may believe you have learned the most important things about them. You've seen their memories, you've felt their emotions, and you've shared their pain. But even so, some of you continue to hide your true intentions. Starting today, from the moment you wake, a mask will appear and cover half of your face. Each mask is different and though you may not understand what it means yet, each design implies something about you. Those who have experience within the supernatural world might have a white feather pattern across their mask while those who have powers associated with a certain element may find their mask changing color and temperature. Some masks may reflect bloody handprints to reflect the sins of a killer while others will appear black and cracking for someone who has died before. Those holding back a big secret will find their mask slowly covering their whole face and others still will find their masks reflecting anything from acts of betrayal to hidden romantic feelings. Though all are unique to each guest, all will find they are unable to remove these masks.

Some of you may wear your mask proudly as you have nothing left to hide, while others of you may become desperate in your attempt to remove it. Feelings of anger and aggression may bubble up to the surface this week over the smallest problems even for the most calm of people. As the sun sets, you may find that you don't feel quite like yourself, opposite personality trades coming to light. Luckily for you, you may not have to worry. Every now and then you may find a gap in your memory, temporary amnesia removing an embarrassing incident or two.

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.

Shouldn't I be the one making you food...?

[ but yeah he will allow himself to be dragged and watered by this very cute child ]

There's time for you to do that later.

[ no, there is not, but lets pretend that there is. ]

Are you a coffee drinker?

Maybe after I've had some coffee to perk me up...

[ he's going to give him pudding for important retcon. ]

Hm... yeah. Don't tell me you're already drinking it at your age.

[ finally. all of the orphans will have their pudding. ]

No, not really. I've tried it a few times but I guess I'm not old enough to get it.

[ because that's how it works right? you just. understand coffee. ]

[ it's an oversight i had to correct ]

.... Yeah, that's pretty much it. When you grow old and boring like me, that's when you like coffee.

[ ha ha! ]

There are better drinks, though... like soda.

[ guess ken has pudding and, well, since they don't have spoons just yet he'll save it for later. ]

Kurusu-san likes coffee and I don't think he's boring.

[ this is a legit concern for him. ]

I try not to drink too much soda. [ frowns. ] It's not supposed to be good for you, right?

[ no phoenix is giving him a spoon too. he has it in his pocket.. gross. ]

He's a special case.

[ aww ken... ] It's not, but that doesn't usually stop people... whether they're your age, or mine.

What do you like to drink, then?

[ guess he has a spoon now?? but for as mature as he is, he's still a boy and doesn't seem anything too terribly wrong with using the spoon for his pudding. ]

I supposed so, but I don't like doing things that aren't good for you just because someone just tells me it's okay.

[ which likely sounds deeper than it really is. ]

But, um, I usually drink milk, but I guess anything else is fine. Just as long as it's not too much.

[ much milk so that he can become big and strong. ]

[ so deep.... ]

You're in the minority for that.

[ cute... ]

So you can grow up big and strong?
