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 normally pretty good at staying on his own two feet, but you know what, he didn't anticipate that one and that's on Lio. Pulled over as well. Now everyone is on the ground? Great job guys.]
Ah.
[does he know real words.]
no subject
after a beat ]
Hey. Thanks for joining me on the floor. This is definitely a step up.
no subject
You would rather be on the floor, then?
no subject
no subject
[Shrugging. Then standing up. Offering a hand this time instead of just yanking him up.]
I can help you.
no subject
[ Isaac looks up at him, and then nods slowly. This time when Lio helps him up he doesn't go flying. He wobbles on his feet a little, but stays up.
Lio's getting a real concerned look, though. ]
If you can't feel anything, then--you could be hurt and we wouldn't even know... has anyone looked at you?
no subject
[He doesn't mean that in a mean way, I mean-- looking pointedly at Isaac's arm? Hello? It's actually disconcerting how much everyone around here seems to care whether or not he hurts himself. He doesn't know what to do with all the Positive Vibes. Uncomfortable. And he's only gotten into . . . one fight . . . this week . . . . so it's fine. It's fine! He'll keep holding onto Isaac's shoulder to make sure he stays upright, at least while they're still standing here.]
Where do you want to go?
no subject
[ please ignore his beautiful sling he's FINE
also mood lio why is everyone so nice and like actually caring and wanting to be friends and shit it's weird and bad
Isaac glances up at him in some surprise ]
You're gonna walk me? You don't have to do that...
[ seems ... kind of confused by this gesture but tries somewhat uncomfortably to accept it ]
Uh... I was going to the study. You heard that weird recording a little while ago, right?
no subject
I can find the time in my schedule.
[In his packed day of walking the entire length of the house available to them in a slightly frenzied pace, like a zoo animal. He looks like he might consider just picking him up? Then he doesn't, just offering an arm instead.]
I heard it.
no subject
anyway what the heck Lio this is actually really nice? now Isaac is smiling, at least a little bit. he'll take Lio's arm.
(thank god lio didn't pick him up he would have lost his MIND) ]
I want to write it down, before I forget it. I've just got this feeling like it's gonna be important.
no subject
He'll be rude as hell to any adult (or, older teens,) but Isaac is a 13 year old kid who looks like he got beaten with a baseball bat. Everyone should be nice to this kid!! He'll fight anyone who's not. Leading the way to the study then, bracing if it seems like Isaac is gonna take another header.]
Mm. The light of my candle went out. I don't know what it means.
no subject
the bracing is pretty helpful, since even with help, he still has no sense of balance--so he'll kind of weave, and sometimes stumble. but with lio's arm to hang onto, he stays on his feet, which is actually really nice. what a relief! this is the first time he's gone more than five feet without reintroducing his face to the floor for like the tenth time. ]
It's ominous! It's way too ominous, right?! Not to mention all that stuff about seeing a reflection with like, glowing eyes and sharp teeth... what really worries me is all the talk of the "house." We're in a weird mansion, right? What if there's a connection?
no subject
The weaving and stumbling is fine - Lio is deceptively strong, and he sees it coming now.]
They mean to unsettle you. I don't know what they want [who is 'they' here, Lio] but it isn't well-intentioned.
no subject
Thankfully it doesn't take them long to reach the study, and once he's sitting down this will all get a lot easier. ]
You mean Master Blue? Plum called him "sentimental" ... Peach seemed to think highly of him, too. And all the girls seem to care about the guests, right? So what's the deal? I just can't shake this feeling like... like there's something we don't know.
no subject
Dogs often feel fondness for their master. [Way harsh, Tai.] I thought they might want us based on our skills, but they've taken those from me.
no subject
But Lio's words distract him, and there's actually a flash of real anger across Isaac's features. His reaction will go unexplained, however, when anger makes way for surprise. ]
You too? I didn't think it could be just me! It's ... it's pretty weird, being without it all, huh. So, what could you do?
no subject
[good explanation definitely covers it all. Sitting himself just. On a table then. He manspreads, which I think is important to mention.]
And you?
no subject
I shoot lightning. I mean I can do other stuff too because my powers are weather control, but the lightning is definitely the ... [ he suddenly seems to lose steam, turning pensive. ] ... well, the most powerful thing I can do.
no subject
I've never heard of that. [a beat.] It sounds like a powerful ability. [This is basically giddy? He thinks that sounds dope as shit.] You were born with this ability or it manifested later?
no subject
