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.

[HE JUST.

STANDS THERE AWKWARDLY TBH
]

I probably shouldn't be the one to comment on traps.

[ she knows exactly who she's talking to, thanks. for uh. both reasons. ]

Haha. Maybe you could be a consultant?

[ He would disappear into the center of the earth if he could, but he isn't even lucky enough to be able to float himself up to the second floor instead of using the stairs. ]

Nngh... trying to work out that sort of logistics probably isn't going to work. But never mind that. What are you doing? Does that hurt?

[ Her tattered wings?? Between her and Beau, it's hard to say who looks like roadkill more. ]

[ Goodbye smile that immediately gets replaced with something self-conscious and embarrassed. ]

"Damn" what?

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-25 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, I guess? If you really want me to. I can set up traps at doors, yeah. If they're effective will be another question entirely.

Good afternoon, sleepyhead.

[ He also wants a nap. I want a nap. But unfortunately he is back and so nobody gets rest. ]

I found a place that might work well, but I need to get a rope up on a high branch. Can you help?

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-25 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Noooo, come back smile!]

'Damn that's a nice smile'. Or something like that. You look really good like that, you know?
kazokun: (127)

[personal profile] kazokun 2020-03-25 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
I am never smiling ever again.

True. We have no idea how big of an infected to plan for, even with a ... sneak peek, maybe, at what might possibly be the forms we'd take on if transformed.

[ the answer is glitterbombs, clearly. u_u ]
kazokun: (016)

[personal profile] kazokun 2020-03-25 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Fine. You get one a week.

[ And only if Chuuya doesn't murder. Nobody can ever say Ayabe is cruel again. ]
burningrescue: (111)

[personal profile] burningrescue 2020-03-25 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. But I think you had the wrong idea. It seems like you talked Ayabe out of doing something reckless! If you’d trusted him to follow your promise, you wouldn’t have had to do what you did!

[He is trying hard, but that doesn’t mean he’ll stop just saying whatever’s on his mind.]

[Glitterbomb the monster so they get caught.]

Wouldn't it be ironic is the 'monster' this week actually turned into a human or something?
shortforever: (30)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-25 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Honestly, that's what it boils down to. Chuuya doesn't trust people easily, and frequently ends up in situations where he cares about someone but doesn't trust them. It sucks, yo.]

I guess? But it's a little late to be saying that now.
kazokun: (045)

[ It's max once a week, unless he cheats and brings Missile along or something. ]

[ He's spewing blood all over Ayabe. It's a truly gruesome sight. The blood will never wash out, either.

In all seriousness, the punctures clot off after just a couple drops of blood. ]


What about you? Doesn't it feel weird being a ghost? How are you able to pick things up when I can see through you?
swordflash: (048)

[personal profile] swordflash 2020-03-25 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[What? What? That's not what he said. Stop joking about eating people!]

I don't get it . . . But that must mean you're feeling better, right? It's hard to believe everything that happened the other day when you're like this.
swordflash: (079)

[personal profile] swordflash 2020-03-25 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
I know it is!

How can you be so calm when you look like that? There isn't a trace of you left! Yet you're swimming with the ducks like it's nothing!

You sound irritated. Is it annoying you? If it is, you're probably doing it to yourself.

[ dumb-dumb. ]

[ let them be free like a bird and soar. just not right now.

zenitsu's attempt at helping is a touch odd, because he has to use his palm lest he claw 45 or himself on accident. he pushes at the edge of the wing very gently. ]


How's that? Can you get through?
