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.

Huh...

Well, they're part of the folklore. [ ... ] Although where I'm from, it's not actually folklore...

A THING

[Hi! At some point on Tuesday, you can either find Lio currently studiously writing on the chalkboard which he's dragged out into the main hallway, or the message already transcribed and left. He has done his best to accurately write everything.

1. Akira Kurusu will not become a monster this week.
2. Lio Fotia is immune, just like Hunter.
3. You will no longer receive jokes after what you almost did to UMP45.
4. Share this information with as many people as possible before Thursday evening.


with

(Jokes are on a timeout!!) and an arrow pointing to the 3rd line.

Then underneath, he's drawn a rough version of:
🖕👅

and . . . a small dick?

He may not have thought to paraphrase any of this.

...Are they angry someone threw suspicion on 45?

[ haha SUCK IT NHS ]

[personal profile] voidbreaker 2020-03-24 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Seeing as we end up flailing around for solutions in the last hour, it's probably a good idea.
madburnout: (pic#13864568)

[personal profile] madburnout 2020-03-24 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I would assume that is the meaning behind jokes being on "timeout."

It's... a pond.

[ not too hot, not too cool

filled with ducks. ]

[haha . . . . . . . . yeah. Almost didn't catch me, right? Awkward.]

Mm. You did manage in the end.

[okay the first thing he thinks when he sees this is relief and I told y'all to trust the notes]

I guess that answers my question on whether Nick was working alone or not.

Is it full of pond algae?

[does Toi like the pond]

Or perhaps the ability transfers to another of the living.

It seems so. I asked if we'd lost that assistance and was told that 'help is never truly lost'... but it's good to have some confirmation.

Fucking barely, Gooseberry.

[ haha yeah we suck. ]

[there there]

You figured it out in the end. I wouldn't dwell on it.

[ to her credit, she's good at hiding the smugness that gives her! ]

Well, then. I'm glad to see he wasn't working alone. So there's at least three of you that will be in the clear moving forward.

[and he just shrugs, exhaling a sigh... listen, they tried to make sure they didn't ignore something, things happen,]

[. . . ah]

That's possible, too. I'd say we should ask the sisters or Blue, but I'm sure that's a question they can't answer.

[nods at NHS, a small smile on his features]

Yeah. It is.
