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.

[ Dazai happens to be walking by as he's exiting the women's restroom. Just going to stop to look at him. ]

I see. You're also a peeper.

[ His tone is deadpan.

Also something about Dazai's face looks different... the bandages are now over his left eye instead of his right. ]

[cAN ALL THE BSDS STOP CATCHING HIM AT THE WOMEN'S RESTROOM

HE DIDN'T DO THIS ON PURPOSE

Subete is actually just sort of half-slinking, half-nyooming out of there because it's pretty easy to figure out he's in the wrong restroom once he's even a few paces in but also massaging his face because in his haste he might have. Run into the wall. There was probably a THUD noise that is rendering all of his half-hearted sneaking moot.

When Dazai speaks up he just puts his other hand over his face.]

... I'm not-- I'm really not. Are you a ghost.

[Is he changing the subject really badly or actually asking. Either way he'll just. Sliiiiiide far away from the bathroom.]

[ BSD is actually Bathroom Stray Dogs

If only he had popcorn. He would be popcorning this so hard especially when he kisses the wall. ]

That just makes you even more suspicious.

[Bathroom Sneaky Dogs.........

There may not be literal popcorn but there is big popcorn energy in this joint and they both know it. Subete is just going to give the biggest sigh which is probably a common sight by now whenever he talks to Dazai... he's kind of starting to see where dick-drawings dude was coming from... in a way.

Once he's on the other end of the hallway he'll just slide down the wall and sort of give up moving there. It's likely he'd somehow end up in another women's bathroom anyway if he kept going. You never know...]

I don't think there's a way not to be suspicious this week?

[It's muffled into his hands!!!]

[ Maybe he can join the dick drawing club or probably not because Ken is rooming with him. ]

Or any other week.

[ Since you know nurse kinks and anything else he might be doing. ]

Why were you in there?

[Isn't Ken's age the precise age when kids start drawing ironic dicks everywhere. Ken being Ken notwithstanding, Subete does not yet know very much about the younger parties here; even though he did do his best to minimize the dick-doodling....

He'll stare at Dazai from between his hands.]

You don't need to curse us any more, you know? I don't know if I want to know where this is going...

[He means literally everything that's happening but also just. Dazai. And his all of him.]

[...]

I was looking for my room.

[ Ken is at the age where he thinks he's an adult, but he's actually more of an adult than a lot of people here. ]

Your room.

[ Repeating as he looks at the restroom. Then looks at their surroundings. ]

You don't look blind. [ A beat ] Sense of direction?

[In other words someone should really save Ken from all of this, but nobody's going to because nobody here is functional enough or adult enough. Sounds about right. Subete's just going to duck his head even though it's already buried in his arms and then in his hands. Don't judge him like this, he can feel it from all the way over there.]

It's not blindness. [...] Haha... You're quick on the uptake. That's probably the best way of putting it?

I can't tell if it's getting worse or not, but I don't know if I want to see how it gets much worse... Are you experiencing something like this too?

[ He will judge all he wants. ]

I think it's going to get more and more worse until it's all gone. Then it'll move on to your sense of shame.

[ Saying this while looking pretty serious. ]

Nothing like that.

[ He's losing sight which is totally different ]

[Can't believe it's just Judgment Week.]

Honestly, I feel like it's all gone already, but if I get lost any more I might end up outside the barrier or something? Maybe that would help...

[He just kind of pouts when Dazai pokes at the sense of shame?? He has plenty of sense of shame and all of it is currently occupied with his bathroom and wandering adventures thanks?? That being said he blinks and raises his head a little to peer at him...]

Eh, but you look a little different? Did you... lose your sense of fashion?

Maybe keep a rope tied around yourself in case you do.

[ Be useful. ]

I'm wearing whatever this place provided.

[ He's not going to tell him what's different ]

Then I'd be in danger of tripping, and I'd be in even more danger of tripping the people who can't see anymore?

[That's being less than useful?! He tilts his head..... trying to parse whatever that even means and also exactly what's different. He changed his hair???]

That's not a no.... I haven't met anybody else who's lost something stupid so far.

[Comrade????]

[ That would actually be hilarious. ]

We could put bells on it.

[ Let's make this even more ridiculous. ]

I haven't lost something stupid. Unless you're referring to Chuuya.

[Do you want to be clotheslined, Dazai...........]

I'm not a cat, and anyway, then I'd probably accidentally summon all the house staff! They actually appear right when you ring a bell, like they can hear you from anywhere. It's pretty impressive.

[And kind of ridiculous, and also kind of freaky.]

I still don't understand why Nakahara-kun is on your profile like that... [he's surprised there aren't dicks on the profile by now or something] But you lost something, right? Uh...

[He...... taps the eye that the bandages are now over?? So close and yet somewhat far.]

[ He want's others to be clotheslined. ]

That would be pretty funny. I wonder how long until they get annoyed with you.

[ Causing mischief or issues for others seems like a good way to pass the time. ]

He's on my profile like that because he's my dog. He lost the bet and has to obey me for the rest of his life.

[ Not that Chuuya would do this since he's a sore loser, but Dazai is going to tell everyone all about. ]

Bingo. My vision is slowly going.

[ He gets half a point because he didn't guess it at first ]

[That's true, he's short enough that he could probably get under the Subete clothesline even without an impromptu game of limbo--]

I think Plum-san is the most patient one? Peach-san seems pretty tolerant -- Pumpkin-san is probably the one to watch out for. I haven't exactly been testing the bells out that much, but I think... there's one for Master Blue, too.

[It would be kind of scary if he just had a random bell and the Master appeared??! Convenient, but a little bit too freaky when everything is so topsy-turvy. Why is Dazai like this.]

... Haha, do I want to know what kinds of bets you two make? [Narrator: he probably does not want to know, but does he have a choice] I was wondering if you gained or lost vision considering... I'm pretty sure you only had one eye showing all along, but maybe you do that so no one can guess your true vision powers...?

[Seriously though, what is up with this guy.....]

I've only really talked to the last two.

[ Pumpkin gets points for playing vidya games. ]

The blue one seems to be weak. It might be a one time use bell.

[ In case of emergency, bell it. ]

That's pretty personal. A secret game between the two of us...

[ He might be making it sound dubious on purpose. Because it's funny. Immediately after, his tone will go back to being flat as he says, ] We were betting to see who would catch the culprit first.

[ That's all folks. ]

The bandages are because I have a head wound that keeps opening up.

Plum-san can be hard to talk to, but she isn't as scary as she looks.

[Isn't she. Or is he just used to at least moderately scary people. Questionable. He makes a bit of a face about the blue bell...]

If you put it that way, it makes it seem kind of dangerous to carry the blue one around. Or do anything with it. But that's probably one of the biggest possibilities. Master Blue doesn't seem to want to meet with us all that much.

When you put it that way I don't know if the head wound or the secret game is more concerning? Should I be feeling sorry for this culprit you guys are treating like a prize chicken...?

[ 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. ]
