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.

[ Her roommate is Meltryllis and there's nobody she's uncomfortable around.........

Ayabe's respect for Nikki just skyrocketed through the stratosphere ]

Oh. Well, I asked because it would be good to have somebody check your body for any injuries once a day or so, because you won't notice them if you can't feel. Your feet are easy to check on your own to see if you stepped in anything, but somebody can help look at your back.

[ Ayabe would never show his back to Meltryllis, but idk maybe she and Nikki are good friends and would help. ]

[dressupqueen]

[meltryllis is a little rough around the edges but she hasn't scared the crap out of nikki (yet)]

Oh, that's a good idea! I'll see if there is anyone who would be comfortable doing that for me.

[kazokun]

[ Ayabe met her once and she almost broke his nose after about five minutes, so ganba Nikki. ]

If you can't find anybody and don't mind me, I can always check. With all these strange things going on, it's a good idea to keep an eye on one another too. It'll be a struggle to adjust.

[dressupqueen]

[oh....... unfortunate]

I might ask you, then. Thank you!

[kazokun]

[ ...He goes ahead and underlines that "If you can't find anybody and don't mind me," because she should be asking a girl she's more comfortable with first?? please???? ]

[dressupqueen]

[she taps on "don't mind me" with her finger. she doesn't mind you, ayabe!!]

[kazokun]

[ He did write that but!!!!!

okay.... ]

Okay.

[dressupqueen]

[she smiles]

Great! Then--

[oh, right, he can't hear her. she'll write again.]

I'll be counting on you :)

[yes, she actually drew a smiley face]

[kazokun]

[ What can he even say to this, how can he say no to a happy face ]

Right.
Once every few days should be fine. You can remind me in a few days.

[ Maybe she will forget. Maybe everybody will be cured in a few day's time. Don't let it be strip search tomorrow and Nikki calls Ayabe over for some godforsaken reason. ]

[dressupqueen]

[if you don't think nikki's going to call ayabe over to check her if there's a strip search tomorrow idk what to tell you]

Sounds good. I'll do that.
