WEEK ZERO WELCOME MINGLE - OVERFLOW, YOU MONSTERS

[cluedin]

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.

Of course I do. What I want, I go after.

[oathic]

[well that sure is a thing to say]

Oh yeah? Anything besides figurines?

[sadiskick]

[ What else could she say? ]

Experience points.

"house fabre has stupid genes" -asch

[sadiskick]

[from here

because humans are the worst txt it ]

Your assumption could be wrong.

{ Does he think her sleeves are just for show? ]

[getdrekt]

Prove me wrong, then.

[he's rapidly losing interest in the conversation with sassy....... whatever they are. Non-human wackadoo.]

[sadiskick]

Move along. If you won't be a proper slave, run away like every other human before me.

[ She waves a sleeve, dismissing him. ]

russian princess

[sadiskick]

[ from here ]

I don't care.

[ She doesn't particularly care what language Anya wants to speak in with her. ]

It's magic. What other reason would it be?

[constellates]

For it to really be magic... I don't know anything about that. Do you know a lot about magic?

[does melt hold every answer anya is curious about]

[sadiskick]

[ fushigi mystery

Meltryllis' explanation meter is less than her hp meter. ]

I'm sure there's someone boring around here who knows enough about magic to explain it. I'm not one of those.

clown detective

[sadiskick]

[ from here ]

If you're a detective, haven't you already figured that out?

[ She's not hiding how she feels about killing. Which is, of course, zero unease. ]

[miscakes]

... No unease, then. [hm.] Should I be concerned?

[Said lightly, like he's joking, but. Melt...]

[sadiskick]

Only if you do something concerning. Are you the type who's all looks and no brain?

[ Look at her legs, Akechi, like the detective you said you are. She's not ashamed of what she is. ]

mammon get greedy for intelligence challenge

[sadiskick]

[ from here ]

Is what you're advertising stupidity?

[ She's just asking! ]

he can't sell intelligence on the black market so its worthless

[mammoney]

Eh? You callin' me stupid? I'm not stupid! Take that back!

[YOU ARE STUPID]

[sadiskick]

How will you prove it? If you can prove it, I'll take it back.

[ listen to yourself, mammon. ]

needs to find some zen

[sadiskick]

[ from here ]

Of course they do. My form is beautiful, but don't you know beauty kills?

[swordflash]

[ He blinks. ]

What do you mean?

[sadiskick]

Would you like to drown in honey?

[ Her speech is languid, and her tone is sweet like poison. ]

subete yamete

[sadiskick]

[ from here

She looks displeased. ]

How tasteless of a reply. I feel like melting you right here.

[ Even if she can't use her poison, the feeling is there. ]

[allfornone]

[She's so scary.....

But the funny thing is, it's kind of familiar, too. Maybe he's just way too used to women that are kind of scary. It's been a while since he's had a blade aimed at his throat quite so openly or literally, though. He keeps his hands up and tries to make himself look smaller and more harmless and much more like a furry woodland creature(??).]

I'm afraid I'm not very good at tasteful replies right now? The circumstances are a little crazy, you understand. And I'm not a huge performer.

Um... So don't melt me? I don't think I'd be very good for the floor...

[Please don't melt him?!]

foursaker or foursaken

[sadiskick]

[ from here

She looks down at her. ]

It's a stupid holiday, but how would you know enough to call it pointless? Words from the ignorant lack sophistication.

[biggestbitch]

[Ugh, she hates that she has to look up at this girl, just because she's on—what even are those, stilts? Why should she have to look up at a cripple, UGH.]

And assumptions always sound so dimwitted. You don't know anything about the sort of world I come from.

missile!!!

[sadiskick]

[ from here ]

It's fine. You can tear the bag.

[ She doesn't care. ]

[gitalong]

Are you sure? The bag does have a very pretty decoration on it! You don't want to keep it?

[ you can't un-tear things... Missile knows that very well... ]
