WEEK SIX: MINGLE

[cluedin]

WEEK SIX

OCCUPANCY: . . .

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...

...a silence lays over the house.

For anyone who ventures into the ballroom, a new change may become apparent. Should you choose to look at the plaques, those of the dead have gone blank. The images that were once there have been covered, though the information is still there.

Additionally, the house rules have been removed.

Odd, isn't it? Where are those strange effects you've grown accustom to over the last several weeks in this house? Your body is as it should be (except for those of you who have lost limbs...you know who you are...), your mind is sound and stable, and there are no strange urges or instincts arising within you.

The mansion is in prime condition. All of the rooms (except for Master Blue's and the servants' quarters) are unlocked, and nothing seems out of place. Perhaps you'll have a chance to relax this morning?

Well, it was nice while it lasted anyway. 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.

[Dancing! Sure! He's very good at dancing, moving to grasp Toi's hands and just twirl with him away - whether he's doing this on purpose is hard to say. At least they're heading out in the other direction?]

[The lyrics pick up with a quick, bopping pace, now. Mammon gives Toi a wink.]

I believe in dreaming, and shooting for the stars! Baby to be number one, you got to raise the bar! Kicking and a scratching, grinding out my best..........Anything it takes to climb the ladder of success!!

[sadiskick]

[ it's fine it's fine it's fine it's fine it's fine IT'S FINE Horror and despair are fine. IT'S FINE.

Meltryllis is genre savvy sometimes. ]

A boulder fell! We have to reject everything and go south! Let's go!

[ She loops the strap of her bag around the Agni's wrist and pulls him towards the exit, if he lets her. ]

I'm going to tell you when we pass Toi. Grab him. I'm going to grab Mammon. We're leaving.

[ If she sounds a little panicked, that's definitely not what this place is making her feel. Nope. Hightailing it outta here, please don't resist even though she caused every form of destruction for this group

[oathic]

[well, since agni can't fuckin see, he probably has to rely on meltryllis for now.]

Got it!

[but yeah he'll grab the singing and dancing toi when meltryllis tells him to]

[soba]

[ oh he is being grabbed and is following after agni

but he's also reaching for mammon as he does so..... ]

Work our tails off everyday... gotta bump the competition! Gotta blow them all away! Caliente...

[ can we assume they're singing as they run i'm crying ]

[cluedin]

[ You can sing and run! So long as you finish the song. Run they go as everything breaks behind them, and all of them can probably see... well, except Agni now... that the same darkness that has taken over the northern sky has taken over this one as well. This is fine.

They get to the crossroads, and once again, the signs have changed.

the darkness is spreading. not that agni can see. ha ha. ]

[mammoney]

[Well, they're being grabbed. That's fine! Mammon will keep singing the entire way, oblivious.]

Jump and hop! Hop until we drop! And start again!! Zip zap zop hop! flop like a mop!!

[He is going to make no meaningful contribution to where they are going next. That's just how it is!]

[sadiskick]

[ Wow, look at all that darkness. Too bad she's the only one who can both see and pay attention. ]

We're going south.

[ She's dragging all of them that way unless one of them protests for some reason. ]

[oathic]

No arguments here.

[he can't see?? what's going on???]

[soba]

[ yea i have nothing to add other than, ]

Scoot around the corner, move it to the groove til the music stops... do the bop bop bop to the top!

[cluedin]

[ I am. crying. Anyway, off they walk...and walk... And walk. It's quite the trek, and nothing on the path to the south seems any different for the longest time. It is probably enough time for Toi and Mammon to finish their song, but I still want to hear the entire duet.

Finally, they'll come upon... a single door. There's nothing behind the door and nothing around it. It is simply a door, standing there. Made of wood, with absolutely nothing of interest to it. Before they can decide what to do about the door, though, they'll hear a voice behind them... ]

Yeesh, you guys are not looking great right now.

[ if they turn around, at least three of them will be faced with a rather odd fellow. He's floating above them, his single eye expressing a very Yikes mood, somehow. He has both hands raised up in what feels like concern. ]

[mammoney]

Stump stump stump, do the rump! And strut your stuff!! Bop bop bop, straight to the top!! We're going for the glory...we'll keep stepping up and we just won't stop!

[Yes you will have to listen to this the entire time while walking. You're welcome.]

[Mammon eventually finishes singing just in time - he turns his head to stare at the floating dapper triangle man, eyebrows furrowing. Well, singing a random song out of nowhere is embarrassing, but first of all...]

...Hey. Who the fuck are you?

[sadiskick]

[ melt is very glad when the duet is done? she was ready to knock them out to end their and her misery. ]

There’s a door. And a talking triangle.

[ that’s for agni. he shouldn’t be blind right now but here they are. ]

Are you here to help or be a nuisance?

[ that’s to the rather odd fellow. ]

[oathic]

[thanks, melt.

but she asked what he wanted to know, so he stays silent as he adjusts his bandages to cover both of his eyes. don't really want to be walking around with an exposed hole where his eye should be...]

[soba]

[ yup. that sure is a floating triangle. just there. ]

It'll probably be easier if you just get out of our way and let us pass.

[ they have not actually fought anything yet so he has none trust ]

[cluedin]

[ woulda been nice of dw to tell me y'all commented. anyway. The triangle ... laughs? ]

The name's Bill Cipher! [ that's for mammon? the only one polite enough to ask? rude ] I'm not here to stop any of you. It's been way too much fun watching you go all the wrong ways. Hey, you did mean to choose the route to freedom, right? So why don't you go ahead and open the door? There's your exit.

[ and, in fact, should they look at the door, it now has a lovely sign that simply says EXIT on it. ]

[mammoney]

"Way too much fun"...hey! Hey, you weren't the one behind all of that, were you?

[BINCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

What kinda stupid name is "Bill Cipher" anyways? Well, WILLIAM, we're gonna leave and you can't stop us!

[He's going to walk towards the door because he's stupid. This is canon. Someone stop me from playing himbos.]
