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.

And if there are gloves, Nie Huaisang will have to put them on himself unless he wants them shredded.]
no subject
Is there anything particular we should go for? [ should they just go full kindergardener coloring outside the lines? pick a set color to stick to? RAINBOW GLITTER? speak now as hori peers curiously in the bag for other useful things ]
no subject
[he says that a little absently, busy trying to squish his hands into the gloves.
it takes effort, but he manages, finally able to hold that spray!]
no subject
Whatever, the point is to make the guy look different. Zenitsu plays with the chalk in his grasp.]
How does this work? Do I just rub it on his hair?
no subject
Mm! I believe so.
[ seems easy enough! hori snaps on his own gloves despite the fact he's put the jar down to watch the other two start. he's gotchu if you need help....! ]
no subject
Try using that on one side, and I'll start over here-?
no subject
Fortunately, this chalk is blue! A lighter shade of blue, but blue nonetheless. Nodding, he walks over to the other side of the bed and looks at their patient's head.]
Hey . . . What's gonna happen if I accidentally scratch him? My claws aren't exactly short.
no subject
As long as you're careful it should be alright.
[ he pulls out bandaids just in case tho. ]
no subject
[scratch the doll a little, it's fine. it's completely fine.
he's already spraying his side of their patient's hair, apparently doing pretty okay with the gloves.]
no subject
Time to chalk away. There's no zapping (yet).]
no subject
I hope they like it. It's very unique.
[ whoever finishes first, hori will attach the butterfly clips he found to that side as the finishing touch!! ta-da!! ]
no subject
nie huaisang steps back to survey his work, looking him over thoughtfully.]
Should we get him new clothes when we've finished this, too?
no subject
Zenitsu thinks Kaoru looks kind of horrific, but he's confident that there can no longer be a case of mistaken identity after this makeover.]
I know it's just a doll, but do we really have to change his clothes?
no subject
Perhaps we can just add something like a scarf?
[ hori's going to put more red butterflies in his hair while he's at it ]
no subject
[nie huaisang approves, at least! the red stands out against the blue. it's good enough, probably.]
