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.

[Hmmmmmmm.

Creepy, Nic. Lio doesn't know where to look. As always, very slow finger spelling. But the practice is making him better?

We are being punished like children.

Because they are certain I am immune.

[Pointing to 2 on the list!]

Besides, I would not say it is totally free from "jokes." [Why is he quoting jokes. But pointing to the dick.]

[ ... okay but she does think the dick is really fucking funny though ]

Fuck, I guess that makes sense. [ she squints at the dick. ] ... Yeah, you're right, a dick that small is definitely a joke.

[He will rub the desk lamp to release Missile's spirit.]

This is the only thing with a core here? That's... Is that important?

They may be upset with the group at large. Many of us agreed with the theory you presented, after all.

[ grumble as she pulls her coat up around her mouth. she thinks it's weird, she hates it. ]

... No, you might take it if I tell you where it is. [ beau says, squinting at him. she also just. glances down at nhs. she notices that look. ]

[Everyone seems so certain about this, but they're also all making that incredibly sad face when they say it.]

I wouldn't blame him if he does. I also wouldn't blame you for being angry. It was an act without reason.

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-03-25 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
That's super helpful, thanks. [ she kicks the ball back to him. ] So do you wanna explain, or.
disreguarded: (34)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-03-25 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh, nic is super creepy? excuse?? she hates the eyes the most, and she sort of sinks down to avoid being seen, only - he stops and then signs at her, and it takes a second for her to catch up. oh, fuck, she only! gets the last half!

which is fine because it's sort of self-explanatory. ]


Sitting. [ is her reply. helpful, beau. ]

[personal profile] oathic 2020-03-25 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Why would I want your stuff?

[wow can't believe nhs hates agni now.]

... You okay, Nie?

-I'm fine.

[he does actually look a little more chill after beau rejects the offer. it's fine!]

You're sure you don't want to come down and go check on it yourself, Beau?

[For a man who has spent most of his life already believing he is a monster, the house is gonna have to go at least this hard to phase him. He does notice her shrinking back, but chalks it up to her probably not supposed to be up there.]

Why there?
[A simple enough question.]
disreguarded: (09)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-03-25 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Because it's mine. [ BEAU BE MORE HELPFUL

... but the mention of going and checking on it sort of makes her shift. she kinda... wants to check on her stash. ]


If I get down now, you're going to know where it is.

And maybe use them to locate future monsters?

[hm. . .]

I didn't really think about using our item that way, but I wonder. . .

[personal profile] burningrescue 2020-03-25 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Heh. He smiles, just a little.]

So all that stuff about murders and all that - but in the end, it kinda seems like you wanted to protect him, huh?

[ a pause. ]

Why not here? [ she has enough presence of mind to know that Sit Up High is a stupid answer, so she refuses. also, nic can probably see, since he's tall... enough?? his vantage point is good enough that he can see that she's collected like, a bunch of silverware. sigh. ]

Peach said she can't do elevators, but she's gonna whip up something to help.

[He grins at him.]

Anyway, I can't mind too much. 'cause I have Lio to help me get around . . .
burningrescue: (they would lead me to you)

[personal profile] burningrescue 2020-03-25 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ !! ]

Whoa, calm down! It was just a joke! 'cause I'm a wolf, and I'm in bed, and you were like, my, what big ears you have? I don't want to gobble you, I just have ears and a tail.

It's so, so, so, so boring. I can't even ride Lio's motorcycle to get around.
