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.

[Black and green clash so much too, there's going to be a mess of feathers when this is over.]

I'm a criminal, but even I have standards!

[Time for C I R C L E]

[personal profile] gitalong 2020-03-24 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course! Who else would it be?

[ the lamp continues to dance in the face of Jin Ling's mounting alarm ]

You're still Jin Ling, right?

[Chuuya's eyebrow twitches at the mention of Jin Ling. Bird fights are still on his mind.]

Huh. I didn't know Beau was a bird too.

But yeah, flight's not gonna happen. Which sucks, I wanted to fly again.

I don't know if she's a bird, but she's. Feathery?

[ vague shrug. she's only seen her in passing ok. i keep forgetting to mention that only her right eye is open this entire week so consider it mentioned now. ]

Missing your powers?

[ ... rip lio, I'm sorry but I'm not. Ash just. Laughs. It is kinda funny, don't @ him. ]







[ okokok, he's done. ]

Having trouble there?

[personal profile] goldpeony 2020-03-24 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Standards"?! [Yeah, feathers are fluttering everywhere.] You're no better than Wei Wuxian, using resentful energy for demonic cultivation! You think it's for good, but it'll just consume you in the end!

[Reaching up, he jabs a finger into Chuuya's chest.]

You're so worried about your feathers. Just make sure the inside is better than the outside.

okay this is pretty funny ]


How do you know I haven't been a lamp the whole time?
goldpeony: (07)

[personal profile] goldpeony 2020-03-24 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but I'm not a lamp! Missile, what happened to your whole body!

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAA. WHO WOULD DO THE DOGGO LIKE THIS!

He scoots forward across the ground and

what the fuck how does he even

gathers the lampdog up in his arms like some kind of baby.]

[ yeah guess who's sunning herself outside only to see. this.

and end up watching for a bit before: ]


Huh. So you can actually carry stuff, even like that...
disreguarded: [ʟᴇsʟʏ ᴏʜ] (20)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-03-24 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ SHE MIGHT. ]

It's not like I have anything to do with it either. Yes, I'm a bird, apparently. An owl, I think? Which is a weird choice, but whatever.
gitalong: (burnt out)

[personal profile] gitalong 2020-03-24 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Explain why I'm a lamp.

[ so she's a thing with wings, got it ]

Really? What kind of place do you usually live in?
unanswering: (19)

[personal profile] unanswering 2020-03-24 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Not at all! I can't...

[he does his best to hop up and grab a branch!

and his body just kind of stretches out until his feet are on the ground again. he gives in and lets go, settling back to his normal height.]


-oh, that feels strange.
gitalong: (a ray of light)

[personal profile] gitalong 2020-03-24 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[





this is probably way more uncomfortable for Jin Ling than it is for Missile. ]


Oh! I know that! Do you remember when I told you about cores...?
voidbreaker: (26)

[personal profile] voidbreaker 2020-03-24 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ don't stare at a guy's ears like that, it's improper. ]

Nah, they just... keep doing this anyway? [ Agitation. It's an agitation loop. ]

[ thanks for checking in, agni, they're still a piece of garbage. ]

What the fuck. [ she squints down at nhs. ] Don't, you gonna get goo in my feathers.

[ a beat. ] Sup, Agni.

[ There are no POWER OUTLETS outside, Missile, please

Ayabe picks up the lamp, though, but turns it upside down to stare at the base. ]


Huh? Wasn't it a different one...?
soba: (pic#13863736)

[personal profile] soba 2020-03-24 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup.

[ toi did not realize the ducks were so popular. ]
kazokun: (113)

[personal profile] kazokun 2020-03-24 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ayabe makes a face, because he initially thought she's referring to his broken arm and ribs and Jin Ling over there yelling at him for doing so much as walking outside. But then he remembers the whole ghost thing, and how he can see the blankets through his arms and he pointedly does not look at them. ]

It's not like I'm a real ghost... It'd be a pain if I couldn't touch anything, anyways. How would I do anything?

[ He would try to be in places he's not allowed, so phasing through things is illegal. ]
