WEEK ZERO: MINGLE

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.

[He's just saying!!!!! Fire-based biology is weird!]

I wouldn't do that to you-- you would simply burn.

[kazokun]

Well, good, I'm glad we understand that! And everybody else here?

[ Please promise him nobody else here is going to be lit on fire for the sake of bringing them back to consciousness. ]

[madburnout]

Only if they deserve it.

[THAT IS NOT REASSURING]

[kazokun]

[ It really is not!! But it's good to know that passing out from a tiny mess isn't enough to warrant getting burned alive, and he just has to figure out where the line is. ]

I don't think anybody here deserves it. Even Galo, despite what he did.

[ Reserve the burning for truly terrible crimes like murder. After the weekend, all bets are off and Lio is justified in doing what he wants. ]

[madburnout]

I'm not going to kill him. The Burnish do not kill without reason.

[read the quote on his profile, dude. Also, he really doesn't even want to hurt Galo that badly. Just fight him. There's a difference?]

[kazokun]

[ It's a difference, but still ]

People in general don't kill without a reason.

[ Some people just have really bad reasons, like "They looked at me funny" or "Because I felt like it." so the claim doesn't really mean much to Ayabe. ]

You wouldn't kill Master Blue when we meet him, would you?

[madburnout]

No.

[He's starting to not like the assumption that he's barely containing murder at any moment. Even though he hasn't done a good job of disproving that, with all of the punching.]

But I will fight to leave, if that's what you're asking.

[kazokun]

[ Gestures at that fight with Peach. Ayabe saw that! We all saw that. ]

No, I was just curious. What happens to Master Blue isn't my concern. If it gets to the point where our only choice is to tear down these walls to leave, I'd lend a hand as well.

[ But he will clean up his mess after if it doesn't work............. the sticking point is not making a mess. If Lio had wanted to kill Blue,that would have been fine, as long as he doesn't bleed everywhere. ]

[madburnout]

[Fire is cleansing though, isn't it :)?

Lio blinks a bit at the offer to help, apparently realigning a bit of an early judgement on this guy. That's not so bad after all. Even if he does fall under COP on the scale.]

. . . That's good to hear.

[kazokun]

[ Fire is cleansing only if you're burning off surface bacteria or something but when entire buildings start catching on fire, Ayabe might have some strong words with him. ]

We'll give it a couple more days. If Peach and the other two haven't finished whatever preparations they're working on, that's the end of patience.

[ But he still wants to give the three some time, because

idk because he's stupid, ig, and wants to believe they weren't all brought here to sit on their hands for weeks on end. ]
