WEEK FIVE: MINGLE

WEEK FIVE



OCCUPANCY: 23


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, two images will flicker and change sporadically. While Phoenix's portrait remains the same, on occasion it will change to an unrecognizable figure, flames surrounding the charred flesh. Likewise, Four's portrait looks just like herself, though if you blink you may miss the sharp knives protruding through her chest, rivers of blood dripping down her front. 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.

You know what to expect by now. Once a week, one of your own transforms into someone unrecognizable. But it's hard to empathize with someone without experiencing the hardship for yourself, isn't it? Worry not. Starting today, from the moment you wake, you will find that you yourself have changed into something unrecognizable. Claws, fangs, fur, scales, extra limbs, extra mouths...the changes are numerous as your monster form takes a hold of you. Oh but it's alright! It's just the physical appearance, after all. You're still yourself inside...but it may be hard to believe that as the week goes on.

Some of you may be able to brush these strange changes aside. Others of you may find yourself struggling to understand who you really are. And others of you will find even more problems on hand. Is it your imagination, or did the mansion grow several degrees colder? You just can't quite to seem to warm up. While you may normally be comfortable sharing blankets with your fellow guests, you now find yourself feeling a bit greedy and unwilling to share...well, anything, really. The insatiable greed requires you to take and take and take, no matter if you require the necessities you're taking. And yet even as you take, and especially as you consume, you find that you're never quite satisfied, belly never quite full regardless of how much you eat. That's troubling, isn't it?

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.

I can.

[He sounds....very confident in this!]

Promises are meant to be kept the first time, you know.

Wh- how is something like this fitting?!

[is he being insulted right now, in his time of distress]
unanswering: (33)

[personal profile] unanswering 2020-03-24 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe it would be easier to be carried around, but- still!

[nie huaisang in a bucket... he hates that thought, thanks.]

[From what vague bits I know about his canon that is totally fair. Chuuya just thinks he's stronger than everyone.

But ow, that one hurt.
]

Geez, I know already! You can stop hitting below the belt now.
oathic: (b24.)

[personal profile] oathic 2020-03-24 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Well, there were a lot of times where it seemed like you were going to panic until you fell apart or the ground swallowed you whole, and this is the closest thing to that!
kazokun: (128)

[personal profile] kazokun 2020-03-24 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
.................On second thought, do not touch anything. Take a nap. I'll be back in twenty minutes.

[ He does not want a, wags hand, tent that's liable to collapse at the slightest breeze when he does actually mean to be staying in there. ]

[personal profile] unanswering 2020-03-24 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
That's not fair at all-!

[were it not for the fact he hasn't gotten up he would smack him with a fan-- well, if he weren't afraid of it being burned.

...there may have been a fan inside that blob somewhere but it's not visible now.]
unanswering: (01)

[personal profile] unanswering 2020-03-24 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Why not, or why tell you?

[he just tilts his head slightly-- that could go either way, really.]

[Akira's good joke, ruined by an ancient Chinese boy's lack of understanding of memes.]

No. I can split the outside of the robe, but that's disrespectful. Besides, it looks... stupid. Like I cut it. And then I have to make another hole in the undergarments.

I wouldn't mind—just for a little while.

[ i already cursed you with the image.... ]

It would be safer for you, right?

goldpeony: (55)

[personal profile] goldpeony 2020-03-24 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph. [He hikes his chin up. The tail fans out again behind him.] And learn to fly better.

How are you going to attract anyone looking like that?

[Wait--

HE HATES THIS. His ears turn red, but he sticks his nose up and marches by Chuuya proudly, trying to ignore the fact his instincts make him say stupid bird shit all the time.]
goldpeony: (kXk5Krx)

[personal profile] goldpeony 2020-03-24 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[BOTH.]

...Why not?
kazokun: (101)

[personal profile] kazokun 2020-03-24 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's not that much of a chase, seeing as Ayabe can't go ten steps without wheezing and dying, but he will keep trying out of the principle of the matter. ]

It counts! I meant it the first time and you know what I mean, so why do I have to say it again?!

[personal profile] unanswering 2020-03-24 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
They both died when I was small. I was- eight or so, when my father passed. Much younger, for my mother.

[a slight shrug, there.]

I remember da-ge more than either of them.
hamaoned: (pic#13791625)

[personal profile] hamaoned 2020-03-24 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ ayabe...learns. ]

Alright. I can do that.

[ but when ayabe doesn't push him away, he'll wag his tail happily. they're friends now ayabe. glad that he's finally starting to...understand what that means for him. ]

We'll need to get more things for the tent, right? [ hmmm... ] I've never gone camping like this before—this should be fun.

[. . .]

[you know what]

[he was up all night making calling card posters. yeah. he's napping]


Allllrighty, then. Wake me up when you need me.

[time to hobble towards the warmest sunbeam to sleep like a true cat]
hamaoned: (pic#13791587)

[personal profile] hamaoned 2020-03-24 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ he's a pal. also ken is not ever going to ship so he'll appreciate those who can. he also would like to see ayabe happy :( ]

Oh, yeah, they can.

Don't birds need like a special kind of wind for their wings?

[ cue flapping his arms weirdly. he honestly has no idea. this is going to end poorly. ]
survivaltricks: (pic#13102094)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-03-24 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[well]

[he is out of ideas]


What about wearing a dress?

[Akira]
madburnout: (3.)

[personal profile] madburnout 2020-03-24 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[It . . . I hate this, but it gets stuck? On his fucking head? He has to drop all of his currently held coat hoard on the ground to try and claw the giant off off of his head. it's pointy now? What the fuck, Ash? In fact, he seems to be saying exactly that. But it's a bit muffled.]
madburnout: (93.)

[personal profile] madburnout 2020-03-24 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah. He.

Clearly recognizes the pin. He simply nods, quiet for a moment, before he works himself up to something.
]

. . . We will save them.
burningrescue: (132)

[personal profile] burningrescue 2020-03-24 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, the thing that's keeping you from murdering.
burningrescue: (even told me that i)

[personal profile] burningrescue 2020-03-24 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Good. Because I really don't want to have to get my fire extinguisher!

[Awkwardly sitting up in bed, so he can see Agni - he actually seems happy to see him.]

What's up?
shortforever: (17)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-24 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah honestly those injuries are why he doesn't just tackle Ayabe to the ground. He will reach out to try and snag his hand, though.]

Because when I tried to hold your hand you gave me a hi-5 and that's sending me mixed signals!
burningrescue: (120)

[personal profile] burningrescue 2020-03-24 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Okay! I'll do that!

[Grabbing the wall and wincing with an oof - he still can't lift his arms that much, either. But he's making his way down the stairs anyway.]

Thanks! Peach is going to do something to help, but I can't get a fake leg like you, since this one still works.
oathic: (b36.)

[personal profile] oathic 2020-03-24 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing much! How are your injuries? Personally, I'd love for an excuse to stay in bed, but it's gotta be boring for you, huh?
