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.

She's making something? I wasn't paying attention. It'll be fine! I'm just going crazy being all cooped up!

[He does manage to get his way down without falling.]

[He's sure not complaining about it. It solves his problem, mostly. And he can easily write in his notebook again!]

Why don't you just pick something thats easier to rip? That's what I did.
[Thus; sweatpants. Not as tough as jeans.]
oathic: (b21.)

[personal profile] oathic 2020-03-25 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah, I feel like that'd just give you more injuries.
burningrescue: (you always knew)

[personal profile] burningrescue 2020-03-25 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Galo's puppy dog ears twitch like a dog who's spotted something.]

Whoa! Hello? Is the lamp automatic now?

[...

agni is raising an eyebrow at nhs?]


... Wow, you two really are at an impasse.

I told you, I won't touch it--!

[beau please!

but in response to that eyebrow, he just gets-]


Don't look at me like that, I already told you I'm fine...

Impasse is a word for it. [ huff.

there's a long pause. and then she jumps!! off the tree branch. she has just enough feathers to get her over nhs, but like, odds are she's gonna crash directly into agni. hey. sup. ]

[personal profile] goldpeony 2020-03-25 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[listen,,]

I don't believe you. [He smooths out the gold robe.] Don't you have a tail?
shortforever: (93)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-25 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I wonder why someone might be upset about that.

[:| :| :|]
shortforever: (93)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-25 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm. Well this is interesting.]

So what I'm getting from this is that anyone who tries to say 'we should vote for Akira, Lio, or Hunter' is going to get immediately smacked down.

[personal profile] madburnout 2020-03-25 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. It would likely be a waste of time.

[Hello fellow bird! Chuuya is perched on the edge of the hole in the second floor hall that overlooks the first floor, peering down at it. Feel free to join him! He's definitely a lot less bird-y than her though, since he's more tengu-like than just straight-up bird. Thankfully he has hands, and his bird feet are plenty for holding onto the banister.]

Yeesh. That doesn't hurt, does it?

[He does not seem to mind the roosting, though. Bird instincts.]
shortforever: (97)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-25 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I did! But I couldn't just tell him that, he'd take it all personally! I swear, he only hears what he wants to hear. It's annoying.
shortforever: (97)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-25 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
That is an extremely specific example and it sounds like you have experience in it.
shortforever: (17)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-25 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Because there's no profile poster for a lamp.
shortforever: (19)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-25 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Huh. That's curious. He's definitely noticing too.]

I've always had them, so being without is weird. But hey. what's wrong with your eye?
disreguarded: (13)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-03-25 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ ahhh, she loves this. she climbs right up next to him and settles comfortably, adjusting her coat. she's not quite all fucked up on bird parts yet, just the talons and feathers. her eyes are definitely owlish, bright orange, pupils big. ]

What - oh. [ the bones, right. ] No. Weirdly no? They should, right, but it's kind of just like... void in there. I have no fucking idea what's going on with it.
oathic: (b8.)

[personal profile] oathic 2020-03-25 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Wah—!

[WELL DOWN HE GOES]

[ I hate that Ken is out there doing all this work while Ayabe receives a love confession, this isn't fair ]

You're not staying the entire time, right? It's not like you have to move your whole life here. I'm not.

[ Like. He's not bringing all his clothes and everything and he'll still go back and shower and whatever, he is not prepared to live his entire life in the woods, just when convenient. ]

...probably 70 or 80 centimeters then.

[BITTY.]
shortforever: (15)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-25 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
I'm worried about my feathers because YOU brought them up! And I don't know who Wei Wuxian is, but he must be a cool guy if a loser like you doesn't like him!

[personal profile] infire 2020-03-25 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I know exactly why. Though I can't imagine they'll try it again.
burningrescue: (they would carry me home)

[personal profile] burningrescue 2020-03-25 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
I still don't think you were right to do it. But - if your intention was to save somebody you care about, I can at least understand it.
