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.

[ well he won't immediately drop meat things on the floor but he certainly takes a moment to shred the fancy chicken rolls and whatnot onto a plate in doggy sized portions for him to eat ]

There you go.

[gitalong]

[ oh man, he's going to learn So Many bad habits about eating from plates. So Many. ]

Why, thank you!!! Do you cook for doggies very often? You seem to know exactly what I like!

[wakizashis]

[ It's fine......probably....... what miss lynne doesn't find out can't hurt her ]

Not dogs but, we have other animals at our citadel. Foxes and tigers and other small animals.

[gitalong]

[ don't worry, Hori, he won't rat you out... ]

Wow! Foxes? Tigers? I've only seen those on the moving box!!!

... They don't eat little doggies, do they?

[wakizashis]

[ bless u missile ]

Not at all....! Konnosuke would be excited to have someone to talk to! [ he says like they're usually not busy doing whatever konnosuke's do when not with them on missions but look,, ] The tigers would be happy to have someone new to play with. They're only just as big as you are.

[gitalong]

Oh! Does Konnosuke have a collar like me?! I thought Miss Peach made it!

[ magic furry tech is more widespread than he thought... ]

... Tigers are related to cats, right? I like cats! Not a lot of them like me very much though... Is it because I'm too furry?

[wakizashis]

Konnosuke can talk because of our master's ability.

[ and the fact that he's actually an AI but ]

And I do believe tigers are. [ he pats Missile because he's a good fuzzy baby ] The cats must be very jealous of all the fur you have.

[gitalong]

[ pats!!!! yaaaay :D ]

Is that what it is? It's really not worth it some days - like when it's hot out and there's no "AC"! Or whenever I want to play in puddles with Miss Kamila.

[wakizashis]

My kanesan is similar. He has loooooong hair and it's super thick and he complains so loudly when the weather gets hot.

[ look how stupidly fond he sounds. absolutely terrible ]

But it's okay because we get ice pops even though he naps in the sun when we should be doing chores.

[gitalong]

He sounds really lazy! Do you miss him?

[wakizashis]

The laziest...! [ his laughter sounds more like a sob though ] He is my partner. It's strange to be separated from him [ again ]

[gitalong]

[ awww, Hori. Missile will gently place a paw on Hori's knee. there there there there. ]

I've never had a partner before! Well, maybe Sissel, but that was just for a few hours. What's it like?

[wakizashis]

[ Missile gets scritches for being a good boy ]

You're never lonely for one. There's always someone by your side through the best and worst days. It's like having a friend who's always there.

[ except when he's not ]
