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.

Stop.

[An outright snap, glaring at both of them with faded red light for eyes. DON'T MAKE THE ROBOT TURN THIS HOSPITAL TENT AROUND...

god can we just lay in the dirt and expire that might be nice]


I'm sorry if this sounds too much like Blue for a moment, but... this is dealing with something metaphysical. Perhaps that might be the point of this, um... exercise.

[Ash continues to run his stupid mouth when some little teenager has a needle at his ass, so you know what?

He gets so irritated, his next loop through stabs Ash right in the ash.]


I'm not the one who had problems with his pants!

[ takes the clipboard from him. stares at it. ]

...Neither do I. I have no idea how these two things relate.

[ she's also trying really hard to wrangle her wings into not getting in the way in these rooms. ]

[ beau just. SIGHS. at the announcement of names, but it's fine. she's got an addition to her horrid outfit today - a big scarf that she has tied around her face. the bottom half of her face, anyway. don't worry about it. ]

You're both here, yeah, and if I have to put you both on timeout I will. [ beau grumbles. ] I don't know, maybe...

[ she squints down at the clipboard to get a better look. ]

Maybe make... the heart bigger? Can we do that?

[please keep your wings away from agni's fire hair, although he's trying very hard to keep it down.]

Maybe... there's a cocoon inside her?

[ hm.

he'll look towards the "doll", to shima, to their supplies, and then to the clipboard because. uh. it's one thing to fix a heart—he's heard about that in manga and tv but... that was with real medical things. (pseudo science is still science except when it isn't.)
]

"The power of determination"?

Has your opinion of me dropped so much?

[ galo hates her, confirmed. oh well, he can join the club. ]

Unless you have any other ideas, I'd suggest making her a cup of tea.

[ hey did you know

getting turned into a lamp does not bestow the ability to read upon a dog.

so instead, the lamp, precariously perched on Ash's shoulder, turns on. you know, for extra light. in case Ash couldn't see. in the middle of the day. ]


What are we doing?
miscakes: (028)

[personal profile] miscakes 2020-03-25 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[...

BUMPS INTO AKIRA'S SHOULDER AS HE WALKS PAST, ANYWAY!!! Enjoy having something way too solid slam into you, binch.

No one has taken the sheet off Luke, though, so Akechi is going to do that and toss it over his shoulder.]


Are you suggesting we massage his ego with the power of friendship?

[He's so tired. Please let him die already.]

You reignite the fire.

[NOT expanding. Yet. It's only 4 comments in, I refuse to go full cursed immediately. Digging in the medical bag instead? There's . . . scalpels, bandaids . . . a rubber mallet?]

[ ash just looks over all the information, eyes scanning it... absorbing all the information.....


and then he just

turns towards the door. ]


This is bullshit.

[ ash nO. ]

I see.

[ he doesn't actually see.

he has guesses, from memshare with galo, but also he is still partially blind. i forgot he only has one eye when i wrote that sentence and just started laughing to myself ]


... do we hit the life back into her with that?

[OW-- inhales a sharp breath at that contact, shooting Akechi a LOOK as he passes by. but for Luna's sake, he doesn't say anything]

So like. . . friendship speeches? The kind they give on Saturday morning cartoons?
burningrescue: (153)

[personal profile] burningrescue 2020-03-25 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah. Just. Don't set her on fire. Or yell at her while she's in prison waiting to die. Don't do either of those things and we're cool.

[He doesn't hate her. He's just bitching.]

It's her heart, right? A cup of tea could do it. Or I could give her a smooch. Or you could give her a smooch?
gitalong: (a ray of light)

[personal profile] gitalong 2020-03-25 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a bad word!

[ helpful ]

What'd the note say, Ash?! You can't just read it and leave!

Nobody cares what you think.

[It’s directed at Jin Ling, but muttered, because he has 0 doubts Beau can and will find a way to put him in time out if he says it any louder.]

Yeah, I think we could. Like... It’s a doll, so maybe there’s stuffing inside the heart. If we took stuffing from other places and put it inside, then stitched it back up, would that work?
brokethefirst: (☽ that's wound by a key)

[personal profile] brokethefirst 2020-03-25 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I... don't know what those are. [this is going well]

Friendship is something metaphysical, yes, but, um.... it could apply to feelings of any sort, really.

[...

A beat, glancing at both of them for that little interaction, before glancing back down at the clipboard with a ragged sigh.]


... I understand we're all exhausted. But if the two of you are going to be like this the entire time, you can feel free to wait outside.

I wasn't planning to.

[ she's about to go open the medical bag, but galo's suggestion makes her pause, frowning. ]

I am not going to kiss her.

[ hello??? ]

[He hears "I see," turns around, sees one eye. REFUSES to acknowledge the joke, but he does make a bit of a Face.]

I don't think that seems medically sound.

[Continuing to dig through the bag, tossing the rubber mallet over his shoulder and off into a corner of the room. What else is in there? Rubber chicken, clown nose, . . . this?]

Ah. A fire?
voidbreaker: (13)

[personal profile] voidbreaker 2020-03-25 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah it is. [ He'll say it again, Missile!!!! ]

[ anyway, ash reads out the clipboard - name, diagnosis and goal, all that stuff and then just frowns at it. ]

You can't see an existential crisis, that's why this is a load of crap. Stuff like that you don't just fix with a scapel.
voidbreaker: (10)

[personal profile] voidbreaker 2020-03-25 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ there is


a lot of swearing, and ash is absolutely kicking his foot out because OW? JINGLES? ]
gitalong: (a ray of light)

[personal profile] gitalong 2020-03-25 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
But we're not supposed to fix her crisis. We're supposed to fix her memory!

[ yeah, they just gotta make a bunch of to-do lists, right? :) ]
burningrescue: (they'd carry me home)

[personal profile] burningrescue 2020-03-25 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's fine, Brilith. Maybe this is why they got paired - so Galo can get over his baby grudge.]

Why not? I'm fine with smooching her if it's for medical reasons, but I don't exactly want to lead her on when I'm seeing somebody else.
voidbreaker: (38)

[personal profile] voidbreaker 2020-03-25 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't see those either.

[ he leans in an pokes a finger on the doll's forehead, snatching his hand back with a frown when it's a Bit Too Life Like. ]
miscakes: (281)

[personal profile] miscakes 2020-03-25 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Why talk about Saturday morning cartoons? You and your teammates have ample experience with that kind of sentimental drivel.

[What if... they stab the doll? Lovingly? For Luke's own good? Akechi tiredly waves a hand in Luna's direction, dismissing her concerns.]

Mm, let's just get this over with.
