WEEK FOUR: MINGLE

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.

[ Ayabe is going to fucking lose his shit over this DVD. If you're in the movie theater when he's playing it, you'll recognize the little girl crying in the video. It's little Kosue! Ayabe is going to murder five people this week!! This is my warning to everybody!!! ]

ii.
[ "No matter how hard you try to scrub, the blood will not come off."

Ayabe takes on the Bloody Room Challenge to scrub this place clean and he's going to fail but it's either him pouring himself into a futile effort like this, or go on a murder spree. ]


wc.
[ Ayabe's mask is solid black with white lines that resemble spider webs or cracked glass. This week is really bad! Wow! ]

monday - movie theater

[HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE, there's a loud cracking and crashing noise coming from the movie theater??]

[investigation reveals Akira, standing up on his one good leg (and one crutch) with his hand clenched into a fist and his expression furious. there are shattered DVD pieces on the ground in front of him and he's upended the popcorn machine. I am sorry]

[anyway he looks extremely livid so maybe approach with caution?? are u okay, Akira buddy. . .]


monday - garden

[OKAY LET'S CALM DOWN FROM THAT EXCITING AFTERNOON. later on in the day Akira can be found outside, sitting on one of the garden benches! he has. . . two legs now?? ???? although one of them seems to be shiny and made of chrome plating. . . a very cyberpunk-like prosthetic. he pushes himself to his feet and wobbles a bit as he stands, still bracing himself with one hand clutching the back of the bench]

It really takes some getting used to. . .

[he tries to take a step forward with the prosthesis. . .]

[and stumbles]


wildcard

[HIT ME UP ON DISCORD FOR PCS AND OTHER PROMPTS!! akira's mask is literally his canon one. that's it. nothing special about it]

[ toi's mask this week is decorated by bullet holes. very simple. very aesthetic. ]

a. room of copyright infringement

[ toi did not really explore the new rooms, other than to quickly grab a change of clothes from the closet and then quickly leave. but it's a new week, so he's finally catching up.

he's actually tilting his head after reading the plaque of this one though. ]


... oh. Is this it?

b. movie theater

[ like many others, toi is also watching the dvd. his features an older man.

all things considered, he seems to be watching it quite calmly? granted, if you take a very close look at toi, it seems like his eyes are slightly puffy, but you'd really have to look. ]

[ oh hey, she was just coming in here to try and see what horrors await her when she sees akira upending a popcorn machine, and like. normally she might walk away and let him rage, but.

her mask is cobalt blue, with drips of jade green that drip down the mask like bloodstains. ]


Hey - hey. Akira, what -- ?

[well. . . that startles him out of his fury, like he hadn't expected anyone to see him like this. his gaze snaps up, eyes wide with bewilderment, and then sheepish]

Beau— [ah. fuck. he went a little overboard, didn't he?]

Sorry. I'll clean it up.

[ she is... gonna very carefully come in here and sit in the doorway and watch him clean. it'll be a while before she speaks because she thinks he could probably use something to wear himself out with, but.

her mask is cobalt blue, with cracks through it - it looks like maybe someone haphazardly slapping a layer of blue over the jade color underneath. every once in a while, there's a flash of red that glows angrily from the cracks. ]


Hey. You owe me a laundry date. [ she says after a while. ]

I'm-- [fine, he almost says, but that would be such an obvious lie that he really shouldn't bother with it. so he cuts himself off with a deep frown, before he limps his way towards the upended popcorn machine]

[. . .]

[it's true that watching that DVD made him want to tear down the entire theater, but. . . isn't he usually better at controlling himself?]


Did you find a DVD in your room after that announcement?

[ she's not gonna make the dude with one leg clean up the popcorn machine jfc, hold on. she jogs over, crouching down to gently slap his hands away. and when he asks, she frowns and shows him her own DVD. ]

Yeah. Came in here to see if I could figure out how to use it. I assume it's bad.

Ayabe?

[fortunately Akira has already watched his DVD and also simmered down from his EXTREMELY disproportionate reaction to same, so he's in a good place to calm down a freaking out Ayabe!]

[hopefully]

[sucks in a sharp breath and lets it out slowly. calm down, Akira. he also gives her a slightly amused, slightly apologetic look when she slaps away his hands to prevent him from cleaning up his mess. excuse her it's his mess!!]

Yeah. It's bad.

[sets his jaw tightly]

I don't know if it's real, but I imagine we got them in an attempt to make that threat about hostages feel real.

[Hm. Bad!! He's rushing in as soon as he hears that noise, expression growing even more concerned as he sees what's happened.]

Hey, Akira...

[well, on the bright side? Hunter's voice snaps Akira out of whatever fury had consumed up. his gaze flickers up, slackening into surprise, both at Hunter's appearance and (perhaps) his own actions]

Hunter--?

[what. . . did he do all of that for?]

I-- sorry, I'm sorry. I can clean it up.

[ he can pick up the popcorn!! she's going to lift the popcorn machine up herself though. oof. ]

... Yeah. I almost don't want to watch mine, if - that's what it is. We can't let them make us think this is real. Nothing else has been real here. [ she sounds unsure, though. ] We can't let the house influence us to kill each other off.

[. . . yeah okay, fair. but he feels a little bad for making her do it, and that's evident in the flicker in his expression]

Yeah. I agree.

[and despite his outrage (despite the images of Ryuji's face, panicked and helpless, flashing in his vision) he says that firmly]

I really should've known better.

[ Everybody with their cracking masks... yeah. Yeah.

Ayabe's on his knees in the room, scrub brush clutched in gloved hands trying to get at the same spot that might as well be printed onto the floor if it weren't for the smell and the feel that's he's so so familiar with now. He keeps his head bent, hand still, but he doesn't look up at Beau. ]


I'm not in the mood.

[ Probably needs a laundry date, though, even if it's just to get the smell out of the clothes. ]

[ welp.

eat dirt, akira.

nah. ash is quick to dart forward and wrap an arm around akira to catch him before he gets really intimate with the ground real fast. ]


... That's new.

[THANKS ASH YOU'RE A PAL. Akira lets out a surprised oof as he clings to Ash's arm, gaze flickering up to grin at him, half-pleased and half-sheepish]

Hunter got it for me last Friday. It's gonna take some getting used to, though.

[the weight and the feel and the gait of the prosthetic are all wrong. he's going to need his crutches for a little bit longer while he re-learns how to walk]

[personal profile] voidbreaker 2020-03-16 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Shit, they do that here? Was it the sisters? [ He leans a little to get a better look at the leg from the angle they're stood at. Honestly, a part of him figured they'd just leave Akira to deal with his missing limb, but...

Yeah.

That's a much better look for him. ]


I can see you doing a lot of overbalancing this week.

[yeah, joining in on the cracked mask brigade—agni's looks almost like it's been frozen over.]

... Need some help there?

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-03-16 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
It was Plum.

[he sounds a bit fond when he says her name, and he stands up a little bit straighter as Ash inspects the new limb. it's nice and shiny!! and shapely like a real leg only made out of chrome!! I don't have an image reference spare me just use your imagination]

[at that second comment, Akira snorts. also he's grasping Ash's shoulder now, putting some distance between them but still using him as balance]


Yeeeeah, balancing is going to be the hardest part. [sheepish] But I'll figure it out. With practice.
disreguarded: (12)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-03-16 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yeah, everybody's just. not having a good time. ]

I know you're not. [ she sighs. ] I just want to make sure you take a break.
