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.

Can you eat? How can you even breathe like that?

I'm not!

[If he's going to impress a ghost, it has to be Anya. Who does Jin Ling think he is? Hmph!]

You have enough tail for all of us, anyway.

[I'm crying I actually had to go look at that thread to remember but Chuuya recalls it after just a moment.]

Yeah, okay.

[As weird as it is to let someone else care for him, he'll allow it. Since it makes Ayabe happy.]

But if you get to do what makes you happy, then we should sometimes do what makes me happy too.

You can be a very bright dog when you want to be, Hündchen.

[ can. can he. ]

Temporary, abandoned places no one else knows about or expects to be inhabited, of course. Why, what sort of place did you think I lived in?

[ is she serious about a single word she's saying right now. she called missile bright. ]

[ the drop smashes the lamps lightbulb, killing Missile instantly.



nah, you don't get to be a murderer that easy, Ayabe, though you may have dented the head of the lamp a bit. ]


Ow...........

At least a lamp can't murder, right?

Uh, no, that's really not necessary.

[ free him!!!! ]

I'm not letting you go back.

[ That is murder adjacent, Chuuya ]

What- What are you?!

[ He scrambles to grab the other lamp that's sitting in the tent, despite there being no outlets, feeling for the base of it and pulling out a razor blade that will do nothing against lamp!Missile maybe, but then again, he said "ow" ]

Is there something wrong with my tail?

You sure? I don't want you to be too far away from your home.

[thanks for the concern, nhs,

it's... fine... he's a little smushed, but at least she avoided landing on the worst of his injuries. still, he winces a little as he sits up.]


I'm fine... You're kind of heavy, Beau. Guess it's muscle, huh?
shortforever: (05)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-25 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Go back where? I meant that I want to do normal teenager stuff.

[And please cook for him, he likes Ayabe's cooking.]

My soul hasn't changed one bit! Aren't people supposed to look on the inside to see what matters?!

[ yeah, hdu not recognize him without his fluff. or legs. or snout. ]

[ well, she notices him, but. she's not going to call him out on following her around just yet.

if he wants to keep following her, eventually they're going to end up in the War Room, where there's........ what appears to be a mass of blankets and cushions, arranged all comfortable like, in a corner. a very mixed collection of bright and shiny trinkets can be glimpsed here and there somewhere in the mass. she's just going to drop her spoils off and then turn back to him by this point.

sup, nic. what brings you. ]


Had nothing better to do, or were you really just that curious?

Oh, that. Haha.

[ just. waves it off. ]

It's probably fine, but it might also be a little off putting, maybe? I'm not entirely sure.

[Keep doing that and that fine brow is going to get stuck in place.]

Like I said, there's nothing wrong with it! It's just big, that's all. Really big. It's unbelievably big!

[ nani the actual fuck ]

You're a lamp!

[ thank you captain obvious. hori pats the top of it like he's still a good fluffy boy because what else can he do? ]
gitalong: (a ray of light)

[personal profile] gitalong 2020-03-25 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I am! And you're a sheep!

Too late for that! Besides, fresh air is good for a doggie like me!

[ even if he's a lamp... he's still a dog. ]

[personal profile] gitalong 2020-03-25 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
How rude! Isn't that clear at first glance?! Ayabe, I didn't think you could be so mean!

[ there's nothing clear about this situation at all. though the razor blade is a little mean. ]
gitalong: (burnt out)

[personal profile] gitalong 2020-03-25 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ but Missile believes her! so he assumes she's being serious about this too. :) ]

A house! Or an apartment! One with lots of guns...

[ guns........... ]

The places you talked about... they sound very drafty.

I can't just look at a lamp and see your soul in it!

[he doesn't look like a dog at all!

on second thought, maybe being slimy isn't so bad, he could have ended up an animated sofa or something if this is any indication.]

I-

You know, I haven't tried eating.

[would it just. dissolve? can he do that? will he just have food stuck inside him??]
