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.

[It DOES smell great, doesn't it? It's delicious, it's nutritious, it's chicken curry (minus carrots)! A big finger of curry will prove it to be extra-tasty, and next to it on the stove is a smaller pot of rice, because Asch is from a weird place technologically speaking doesn't know how to use a rice cooker.

He's just getting a bowl out, actually, because he's not a monster, when he turns around to see Nic with his NASTY HANDS just straight-up BLEPPING THE CURRY with his FINGERS

The rage currently on display upon his face is exquisite, high-quality, museum-grade fury.]

What [he hisses out, like an angry tiger,] do you think you're doing, bastard!?

[He doesn't want to fight in the kitchen.

But he WILL fight in the kitchen!!!]

[inaudibly]

[Honestly, the curry actually being tasty is almost a bonus. The incredible anger it elicits in The Chef is much more entertaining. He can barely read Asch's lips with how he's talking, but he can get the gist.

And instead of explaining himself of apologizing, he's just going to DO IT AGAIN.]

[getdrekt]

[AAAAAAAAAAAA]

Get out of here, or I'll make you!

[the only weapon(?) he has right now is a long, metal ladle, but............ he's comin.]

[inaudibly]

[Well this escalated quickly!!! Nic has no intention of leaving though because the idea of this guy trying to browbeat him into behaving with a ladle is super entertaining!

He is going to move, but he is taking the pot of curry with him. Thief!!!]

[getdrekt]

[¿¿¿QUE???

WHAT A RUDE FUCKIN MOVE!!!!!!]

Wh--! Put it down!

[and we swing the ladle

with a

surprising amount of... force... dang.]

[inaudibly]

[Yikes!!! Nic barely dodges out of the way, but he had to move so quickly some of the curry just flies out of the pot and splops onto the floor. A tragic loss. He should really just put the curry down, why did he grab it, he's not even EATING it???

Adding insult to injury, he sticks his tongue out at Asch.]

[getdrekt]

[WHO IS THIS

SASSY RUDE ADULT STEALING HIS CURRY AND DUMPING IT ON THE FLOOR?????

and logical person probably would've encouraged him to put the curry down, and split it with them.

however, this isn't about logic, so instead, he rounds the curry spill with a scowl, and charges at Nic. If the curry has to be the sacrificial maiden, then S O B E I T]

[inaudibly]

[He hasn’t said a single word how can he be sassy!!! But to Asch’s credit this was never about logic on either side, Nic is just here to cause problems on purpose.

Anyway this time he opts to try to block Mad Asch Curry Road with the pot, but doesn’t quite nail the parry, sending more curry to the floor and glancing the ladle off into Nic’s kneecap. Ouch!!!

He staggers back but still seems to be having a good time??]

[getdrekt]

[WELL HE'S REALLY GOOD AT IT

AAAAAAA THE CURRY]

Stop using the pot to block! Put it down and fight!
