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 did. He-- always was impressive, in that way.
[his smile's faint, maybe a little sad- but fond, nevertheless.]
no subject
But you aren't like that at all...
[He doesn't mean it rudely, and he doesn't mean it as "you aren't impressive," but more, "you aren't some kinda jock warrior."]
no subject
I'm really not, at all. He always scolded me for not training enough.
no subject
[Even though Jin Ling takes it a bit more serious in the fact he wants to be that way, and he wants to impress.]
no subject
[so, yes, a lot like jiang cheng!]
We fought over it, but he... was just doing what he thought was best for me. As a future Sect Leader.
no subject
...I'm going to change it. [He doesn't think life is going to come at him so fast despite...what's happening.] Later. When I'm a sect leader. I'm going... to change things.
So all of what happened doesn't happen again.
no subject
[he smiles, but-- it's a little thin, somehow.]
...young master Jin, just how much later do you really expect that to be?
no subject
But Youngest Uncle Jin... [He glances down, lips thinning.] He's... [He shakes his head.] ...
no subject
[after what he's done-- what everyone knows about him now...
well. nie huaisang is fairly sure he'll die, but he doesn't want to say as much to jin ling.]
no subject
[His brows furrow.]
I don't know what everyone will decide to do. But he should be punished.
[goodbye uncle jin]
no subject
[he agrees with that SO easily.
but then he pauses a moment.]
And he'll likely need to be replaced. It's something that you should be thinking about.
no subject
I know.
no subject
You'll have the support of the Nie Sect. If you choose to accept it.
no subject
And then his ears turn red while the tail behind him begins to somewhat fan out.]
no subject
Jiang-xiong wasn't too far from your age when he took over the Jiang Sect, you know. I don't think it's a stretch to say his nephew would do well.
no subject
The tail is on full display, very proud (he's double dipped in that), but he seems embarrassed at how obvious it is now. Stupid animal parts.]
I can do it. No... I will do it.
