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.

If you find one I'll play you. How's that sound?

[ hrrrrrrrrrrfff but mooooommmm-- fine. After a second he throws a hand out to grab Akira's and let himself be tugged up. ]

Nah. Think the little monobun'd let us know if we did?

[survivaltricks]

Deal.

[hoists Ash to his feet with surprising ease!! he has some strength in that scrawny looking body of his]

Depends. Which one's the monobun? Plum-san?

[voidbreaker]

Yeah.

[ he makes a motion with one hand, like a bunny ear on his head ] She’s a bunny.

[survivaltricks]

[lifts two fingers and places them behind his head. LIKE BUNNY EARS]

[he gives them a wag because it's cute]

I got the "bun" part. Why "mono?"

[voidbreaker]

[ what they are

is dorks ]

Monotone bunny.

[ he’s a genius, he knows ]

[survivaltricks]

Ah.

[. . . Akira's mouth twitches, which is the only evidence of his mild amusement]

Perfect.

[voidbreaker]

I try.

[ he’s gonna serial nickname everyone bring it on ]

[survivaltricks]

[HE IS WAY BETTER AT NICKNAMES THAN AKIRA who tried to name Ann Sexy Cat]

Anyway, there's no harm in asking. If Master Blue hosts as many events as Plum-san and company say they do, there have to be games around here somewhere.

[voidbreaker]

[ it’s... well. very literal. do your best joker ]

You’d think they’d be on display in the lounge somewhere. Maybe we’d stop wrecking stuff if we only had board games.

[ TRAGIC ]

[survivaltricks]

[omg. snorts in amusement]

That's awfully optimistic of you.

[HE IS PRETTY SURE SOME PEOPLE WOULD STILL WRECK STUFF]

[voidbreaker]

Nah. We’d stop causing trouble for five minutes. I never said it was a permanent thing.

[ but at least they’d get five minutes of people nOT DESTROYING THE LIBRARY ]
