WEEK ZERO WELCOME MINGLE - OVERFLOW, YOU MONSTERS

WELCOME

Even from behind your eyelids, the soft glowing light can be seen as you find yourself awakening. The slow swell of strings begins, and as you struggle to open your eyes, the sound of footsteps pass you by. You soon hear three feminine voices speak in unison.

"Master Blue wishes to welcome you all. We hope you enjoy your stay!"

Light temporarily blinds you as you look around, but the source of the voices has vanished. Whomever has greeted you seems to have disappeared without warning, leaving you all alone.

The music starts up and though no orchestra is present, the song can be heard all throughout the room. Crystal chandeliers hang above your head, and the waxed wooden floor gleams brightly. Floor to ceiling windows cover the back wall and a night sky full of stars twinkle back at you. The wall next to it, however, is covered by a thick crimson curtain. Those who attempt to move it will find they have little luck in their endeavor, but there are more pressing matters at hand.

Looking down you'll come to notice that you're wearing clothes that certainly aren't what you were previously wearing. You, and the guests around you, have been dressed appropriately in formal attire properly fitted for each individual.

Oh. That's right. Didn't we mention the other guests? Seated to your left, right, and across from you at the long banquet table are other people just like you. Perhaps it's a friend you know, though don't be surprised if it's a complete stranger. Each individual holds a blue and silver invitation with their name scrawled upon it, and a message to follow.

"Please respond to Master Blue's invitation at least one week prior to the event to secure your seat and accommodations.

This dinner is guaranteed to be an event to die for."

Strange, isn't it?

But rest assured! Nothing is stopping you from leaving the ballroom and exploring the other rooms of Master Blue's home. After all, you're an honored guest! It's with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that you're welcomed here tonight. Really, what's your hurry? It's not as though the front door will open for you. Don't bother with the windows either. They've all been locked tight to ensure you're all nice and cozy for your stay.

If you look under your seat, you'll find a special gift bag with your name on it. Opening these bags will reveal the following:

-A small spiral notebook
-A crayon in a specific shade of blue
-Three different candles
-A brass key (Design May Vary.)
-This cute toy

A welcome gift from the Master, of course.

Take some time to admire the decor, if you will. The house has been decorated for this special holiday with chains of paper hearts, miniature golden cupid statues, and confetti that rains down from the ceiling on occasion. Perhaps you'll get lucky tonight with love in the air, especially since Cupid's arrow seems to aim for you no matter where you go. For those of you who don't wish to partake in the lavish feast spread out in the ballroom, you're in luck. Boxes of chocolate and bowls of candy hearts can be found for all your snacking needs.

As the unseen orchestra plays on, it seems as though you've no choice but to get to know your fellow guests and make yourselves comfortable. Perhaps if you wait long enough, someone will come to greet you.

Wh-- wh-what---???

[Lio shows up, and then does THAT before Luna can even finish her statement.

She just looks dumbfounded at Lio for about 3 seconds, before standing straight up and slapping him dead across the face.]

Ah? Um??

[He's Sir Not In The Middle of This At All, he just kind of paused when Lio nyoomed by him through broken glass and now there's a slapfight and he has. No idea what to do.]

Can Galo-san help with this...

[Just going to keep half-heartedly looking for Galo. Maybe he'll know what to do about his plate buddy.......]

[ well, between lio nyooming in and subete nyooming out in search of galo 45's attention has well and truly been caught, so. ]

If course he can~! He wouldn't get to call himself a rescuer anymore if he couldn't.

And if they get in another fight ... well, let's just see what happens, hm?

Right, right... I don't know much about him yet, I'm afraid, it's been so hectic...

[Not to mention Galo's been in the middle of the chaos?? At least some of the time?? Though their resident terrorist-slash-dragon-slash-whatever definitely has him beat by several miles, a lot of glass and a very angry Luna, which is an impressive sight on its own. He's just going to kind of hide by the doorway in case more furniture starts flying.]

Galos Thymos-san and Lio Fotia-san... I think it's best to just stay out of the way. I feel bad for Luna-san, though.

[Is Luna the one they should be feeling bad for in this scenario.]

Hmmmm.

The other two aren't that bad when it comes down to it.

[ it's a generous estimation, but ]

They'll probably save the fight for until after Ayabe's gone, at least.

[ oh, well then. ]

Hahaha, that might depend on who actually did this to the lounge, don't you think? I get the feeling Plum-san is going to have some words with us sooner or later.

[Did you see Plum's face.

He is honestly not sure he wants to stick around the lounge that long anymore now that the destruction has been sort of catalogued, Ayabe is no longer in danger of eating it, and the consequences are only just beginning--]

Do you think they'll fight again? Better here than anywhere else, but surely there can't be much more to fight over at this point.

[ haha, plum. ]

Some personalities just tend to be more prone to this sort of thing, I've found. You're right in that they probably will end up settling down sooner or later.

We really... have a lot of those sorts of personalities here? I wonder if Master Blue has something to do with it too.

[If anything, at least the profiles are kind of enlightening in terms of why the hell they've just got destruction and violence and arson and disaster around every corner. Even if he still can't damn well parse over half of them. That probably goes for everyone else too, at least.]

I honestly don't know what we're going to do if we keep going like this.

Be murdered by Plum, probably. I don't see her having the patience to let this keep happening for too long.

Or maybe she's used to it! Judging by present company, Master Blue certainly has interesting taste in house guests.

Ah, but wasn't there something about not hurting the guests? I don't know how much of a guest I feel like, but the treatment hasn't been... the worst so far.

[It's both relieving and kind of disconcerting -- the lack of information paired with the nominally luxurious reception paired with all the little things that make him wonder what's been done to them. The time and geographic and cultural discrepancies. The language. The clothes. Just...]

I know a lot of us feel like it's the calm before the storm. But maybe this is the storm they're looking for...? Master Blue, that is.

[Maybe they're just here to be a disaster reality TV show? That's okay, right. (no)]

[ow???????? He just seems extremely confused, to be honest.]

He'd passed out-- he needs to wake up.

By injuring him?? What good is that going to do???

Think before you do something so... so childish.

[Her voice goes cold as she turns back to Ayabe, turning him to a recovery position.]

I would appreciate it if you would leave, please.

[From his rubbernecking position at the back of the room, Asch stoically twitches his head to the side at Lio. Come on over, roomie.]

[He was gonna argue back that he was only trying to actually-factually help - he'd slap anyone awake if they passed out that makes perfect sense!! - but Galo has shown up and Luna seems pissed and he's not super interested in hanging around at this point. Turning to follow Asch, I guess! I guess.]

[bye nerds the chaos buddies are peacing out of your square establishment pissbaby freakout party]

You beat me to it.

[>:T]

Did I hear my name?

[Maybe. He vaguely hears his name. And therefore will vault into the room, doing a running leap over the glass and landing. He's wearing shoes, he's just like this. Just in time to notice Luna giving Lio a big ol' slap across the face.]

Uh oh! Was this guy giving you trouble?

[But he can also guess that that's only going to make Lio angry, so he comes and puts an arm on Luna's arm to pull her away. He positions himself slightly in the way if he needs to defend her, but isn't acting like he actually believes Lio would attack her.]

Let's, uh. All cool off.

[She's already called Lio childish, so as Galo pulls her away, she coldly turns to Ayabe's body and turns him to a recovery position. She's pointedly ignoring Lio.]

Thank you. You have had medical training, if I remember properly.

I could really use some assistance.

Of course! I'm at your service!

[Saluting, and then glancing at Ayabe. He's instantly a lot more serious and measured, in this kind of situation.]

Oh! It's that guy. What happened to him?

It sounds like he lost conciousness. His heart rate is fast, but his pupils are dilating and he's still breathing.

[...]

He... had some issues a couple of days ago and explained it a little. Moving him to a place with fresh air seemed to help.

[Looking around the room at ALL THE GODDAMN GLASS and just... sighing.]

Given how palid he is, I would rather not run the risk of him vomiting or passing out again the moment he wakes up. He seems, um... easily panicked, which might just aggravate whatever triggered this. I think getting him out of this room would be best.

Do... you happen to know who he was rooming with?

Yeah. I ran into him... I thought it was just anxiety, to be honest!

[At least, he said he didn't take medication, and he got better after calming down a bit.]

I don't know his roommate, but I can bring him to my room, if you want.

[She's just examining the back of him, don't mind her. The brunette that had called for her had mentioned that he'd kept Ayabe from hitting the ground.... but he still dragged him bodily through the glass so tttttime to just MAKE SURE this kid doesn't have signs of a concussion.]

It's a possibility. Still, I'd like to at least rule out some basics before making any conclusions. Making sure he doesn't have a head wound or any glass wounds in his skin would be ideal as well.

I think it might be best if he doesn't wake up somewhere too unfamiliar, but... we'll have to work with what we have. Would your roommate be against it for a little while?

Nope! 35's on a rescue team, too. It'll be fine! You want me to check him for wounds first, though?

[He gets the impression she has more knowledge than him, so he'll defer to what she asks.]

If you could check his limbs please, yes. So long as he seems stable to move without further injury, I think we should be okay.

[Who in the world is 35?????? Oh well, it's a question for later.]

[Doing that! Listen I'm not googling too much here but he's doing it correctly. Checking him to see if he's okay.]

Aaaand we will move this to PCs from here, folks.
