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.

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

"Damn" what?
shortforever: (97)

[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.

[ He does not care about looking good!! let him live ]
shortforever: (06)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-25 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Why not?

[How can you be so cruel???]
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. ]
shortforever: (09)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-25 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
One a week to start with, sure.

[He'll find ways to earn more. Like by not murdering.]
kazokun: (045)

[personal profile] kazokun 2020-03-25 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's max once a week, unless he cheats and brings Missile along or something. ]

...when we all talked together before, do you remember what I said about what makes me happy? Let me do that.
shortforever: (65)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-25 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[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.
kazokun: (107)

[personal profile] kazokun 2020-03-25 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ Me, also pulling up the thread again, because we are both good at this. ]

I'm not letting you go back.

[ That is murder adjacent, Chuuya ]
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.]
kazokun: (132)

[personal profile] kazokun 2020-03-25 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Like... camping?

[ he has everything right here to go camping, this is teenager stuff, right ]

Ken wanted to stay with me, so we're going to try and make it bigger to fit more people.
shortforever: (05)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-25 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess camping works, yeah?

[He's lived on the streets before so he doesn't see the appeal of sleeping outside, but he'll run with it.]

We should invite Akira too, so he's not lonely by himself.
kazokun: (078)

[personal profile] kazokun 2020-03-25 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There are blankets and you eat junk food, that's the appeal.

Also, why would Akira be lonely by himself AKIRA MUST HAVE MORE FRIENDS THAN JUST CHUUYA, PLEASE, LET ME BELIEVE THIS ]


Sure, we can invite Akira. We're going to need a lot more sheets to fit four people, though.
shortforever: (09)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-26 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Akira probably does have more friends than Chuuya, Chuuya is just extremely self-centered.]

It's fine, we can take the sheets from my room.
kazokun: (059)

[personal profile] kazokun 2020-03-26 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ayabe can pretend Akira has no other friends too. Maybe they can finally hang out and have that game night Ayabe missed, but it looks like Akira's going to be zzzz all week though. ]

You won't have sheets, then, unless both of you plan on camping out with us overnight too.
shortforever: (02)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-26 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Well yeah, I thought that was the point? We all camp out overnight outside. That's what teenagers do, right?

[He's totally not suggesting it so he can sleep next to Ayabe. Nope. Ayabe definitely does not have wing-blankets in his future.]
kazokun: (106)

[personal profile] kazokun 2020-03-26 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ Chuuya is asking the wrong person what teenagers do. ]

Yeah, but... It'll be a hassle to bring the sheets back and forth if it's only for a night, is what I meant. [ He's sort of hoping even Ken gets tired of the hobo life and goes back to his room where he finally gets a bed and just never uses it ]

Why don't you ask Akira first if he wants to come?
shortforever: (48)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-03-26 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Well yeah, I was gonna ask him first.

[He was totally just going to drag him out there.]
kazokun: (115)

[personal profile] kazokun 2020-03-26 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
As long as you ask first.

[ Akira, returning to his room to see the beds stripped bare:
Chuuya: surprise, we're camping

don't make it be like this ]
