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.

[ Then it looks like they go toppling to the ground, though hopefully not hard enough to do more than bruise?

She looks perfectly fine despite the fall, though, still cheerful beams and gentle laughter. ]

I thought so. Maybe I should lift you instead?

[ RIP to him, then! Ayabe gets the air knocked out of him, but he'll be fine unless 45 decides to sit on him for more than a few seconds longer.

He really wants to ask something about her weight but honestly? The women here are scary and therefore he's not going to. ]

Would you be able to...?

[ Weight doesn't necessarily equal strength, and besides, he won't be able to tell if there's anything up in the ceiling anyways. ]

[recrypt]

[ Here we have determined that Ayabe has at least one brain cell, because it's being put to use on not asking about a lady's weight.

... Maybe he really should, though. Oh well, his loss! But no, she doesn't stay on top of him for long, because it's not like she was trying to do anything more than illustrate a point with that stunt. ]

I'm stronger than I look, don't worry~ ♪

[kazokun]

[ No, don't ever let him learn she's no human. She's just. packing a LOT of muscle and so he'll have to give her the benefit of the doubt that she can lift him. ]

Okay...

[ He doesn't go for a trust fall, though, he just waits for her to either Simba lift him or tell him how she wants to try. ]

[recrypt]

[ Well if she Simba lifts him from below the arms they're really not getting that much extra height, so no.

Instead she locks her hands together like she's a spotter in gymnastics or the bottom support of a cheer pyramid or something.

Well? Step on? ]

[kazokun]

[ She could have Simba lifted him and he steps onto her shoulders. But this way also works, and she can let him down if he's too heavy to lift, so he steadies himself with a hand on her shoulder and places a foot on her hands before lifting his other foot off just a couple of inches to see whether she can support his weight at all.
