WEEK ZERO: MINGLE

[cluedin]

WEEK ZERO

OCCUPANCY: 36

For those of you counting along, you'll find that it's been three days since you've arrived at Master Blue's mansion. On this lovely Monday morning, the weak winter sun shines in through the spotless windows. The curtains in the ballroom have been drawn closed and cannot be moved away from the back wall during the daylight hours. The scent of a hot and delicious breakfast wafts from the direction of the dining hall at 7am, and small creaks and groans in the house urge you to awaken.

Perhaps you're a late riser though. No matter! There's still plenty of food you can make for yourself and ways for you to amuse yourself. Though the decor's been taken down, leftover Valentine's candy remains abundant, and a chilly breeze drifts through the halls. Best of all, all damage inflicted on the house has been repaired. In addition, a new placard has been mounted in the entryway.

As you carry on with your day in the mansion and explore the rooms provided, you may come to find that starting today it will appear as though you've all lost the use of one of your senses. Your vision may have grown dim, or maybe you really can't smell the enticing treats in the dining hall after all. How unfortunate.

Then again, something doesn't seem quite right. Walking through the halls, nothing seems terribly out of place. However, turning the corner or entering a room you will find someone who looks a little too much like yourself behaving in a fairly inappropriate manner. You would never read something so lewd. Who would ever think that you would wear something so pink? These mannerisms may seem innocent to others, but you can't help but disapprove.

Too bad no one else can see them.

Come Monday at noon, you will also find a new surprise. The wooden box with your name on it can now be opened, and a rustling crackle of static can be heard from overhead. Try as you might, you won't be able to find the speakers but this message will play loud and clear for all.

No!

[UGH]

It just... this one has what I want in it.

[He opens it up.

Sniffs it




what the fuck is this

closes it.]

Yum.

[miscakes]

... But the box you're holding...

[TRAILING OFF, DUBIOUSLY...]

[getdrekt]

What about it?

[...

oh.

oh no.

in one swift motion, he opens the fridge

and slams the octopi back in.

EUGH]

Just checking if there were any that were still alive.

[mammoney]

[are u SERIOUS]

...Doggy. Do you know what a demon is?

[goldpeony]

No one ever wants your help! You're the worst at helping people! You're obnoxious, and all you do is yell without explaining anything!

[This is so funny

considering

he and his uncle do the exact same thing.]

[kazokun]

[ Everybody here keeps talking about torturing the staff. It's like living with a bunch of delinquents- it's like he never left home to begin with, they're all terrible and Ayabe puts the jar back into the fridge so he doesn't have to hold it and so Asch can feed them to somebody else. ]

We're the ones who are jailed here, not them. Do you think you can beat them? Lio tried.

[ He's not sure about their relative strengths, between Asch and Lio that is, but Peach had warded Lio off without breaking a sweat. ]

[kazokun]

[ There are so many people he would love to throw into the slammer, just lock them up and never have to see their faces again, but unfortunately he does not have the same power as the police and has very little actual power to abuse. ]

I can write a student up and send them to the teacher's office, and that's sort of like going to jail... but I don't do that sort of thing.

[ What does Ayabe even do on the student council, I have no clue. ]

It's a full time job, though. When I'm not at school, I'm the dorm manager and have to babysit all the students there. [ Ayabes get no breaks ]

[voidbreaker]

[ s i g h ]

Nah. Not like a hug.

[getdrekt]

Why you obnoxious, overblown, child of a--

[he swipes for the jar again]

Give me it before you accidentally open it and get them everywhere, bastard!

[getdrekt]

Lio did?

[that gives him momentary pause, and he seems to consider it.]

What happened.

[he's actually pretty interested!!!]

[kazokun]

You didn't see? [ There was a betting pool and everything ]

Peach was able to pin him down and stop him from trying to hit her. It wasn't a long fight- she talked him out of it.

[ But she was able to pin him down while he was in a murderous rage, so that's still something. ]

[getdrekt]

No. [he peaced the fuck out!!!!!!

But that's...... ugh. He was definitely stronger than Lio, but his roommate was no slouch when it came to no-holds-barred.

He could only hope Lio was going easy on her because she was a girl.]

Did she really talk him out of it? Or did he have no chance?

[kazokun]

Maybe he would have had a chance, but it doesn't matter since he agreed to stop fighting, and they stopped.

[ If they weren't surrounded by so many people telling Lio to cut it out, if Lio had a weapon or his flames back, if he had followed through with the threat instead of backing off, maybe he could have won. There's no way to tell. Asch should just wait until Ayabe's back is turned and then go for one of their throats. ]

[disreguarded]

Not... more than a usual dog? [ she doesn't think so anyway?? ] Why? Are you afraid you are or something?

[miscakes]

[Well, then.]

I don't mean to pry, but... Could it be that you're blind?

[shortfornow]

[ Let's be real, all the furries look less scary just by being tiny. ]

Maybe it's a use only in emergencies situation?

There's no point in feeling sorry for him any more. He died.

[ Dazai totally caught him first though. ]

[gitalong]

... You have really weird tastes.

[ the smell from the jar... sure was interesting. ]

[gitalong]

Isn't that what pants are made out of?

[gitalong]

Oh no. Let me guess - they're a real handful?

[ he can't imagine handling more than one Miss Kamila... ]

[gitalong]

Oh. Is it... better than a hug?

[ because why bother otherwise ]

[kazokun]

They're a bunch of delinquents.

[ Juvenile delinquents with an emphasis on juvenile. ]

[gitalong]

Um, well, I can't exactly feel what you're doing right now... Which is strange! I never don't notice a pet!

[gitalong]

Uh oh. What do you do with them? Do you send them to bed without dinner?

[getdrekt]

Tch.

[Translation: maybe, maybe not, maybe go fuck yourself]

I'm doing fine.

[getdrekt]

[...]

They have to be fallible.

Why else would they take our abilities and belongings away?
