Week 3

[Two weeks in, and all at once four people are dead. Chitose, Miki, Lucina, and Tsurugi - whatever the circumstances, however any of you may feel, their rooms are just as empty at the end of the week. If you check your P.I.P.s, you'll find that their pictures on the profile page have gone monochrome.

C.E.C.E.'s morning announcement comes like clockwork on Sunday. This time, though, there's an addendum to her usual message:]

Congratulations, Champions! By surviving your first trial, you have unlocked the second floor of the ship. A new mini map has been added to your P.I.P.! To access the second floor please stand on the teleporter and select the floor you wish to be teleported to.

[In addition to the new floor, the Champions will find that they've gained another memory this week.]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday



(( Welcome to Week 3! Don't forget to check in and submit your memory regains! Turn in your benefactor threads for sweet loot, too! ))

WEDNESDAY

[airlockedmods]

[Starting today, the diner kitchen will be stocked with some Japanese food items, particularly ingredients used in curry.]

[keepmeinyourheart]

[Open to everyone not Yuri!]

[In the morning Luna will be walking around, stopping people with a polite smile and an incline of her head.]

Good morning. May I have a moment of your time?


[OTA]
[Luna seems busy bustling about, seemingly flitting between the art room and the pool. You can catch her in those places, or even in the hallways, always carrying something to the pool or coming back empty handed from it. What is she up to? Ask her and find out!]

Hallways

[theundertaken]

Yeah, sure, what's up?

Hallways ig?!

[gullseyeview]

Of course. Do you need something?

hallways

[playthedamncard]

[oh my god luna watch out there's a BLOODY DRAGON--though if she doesn't panic it might quickly become apparent it's this fucko wearing two sabotages. Which should be familiar. BUT BLOOD-EYES BLOOD DRAGON]

OTENY

[newcycle]

[she's always got time for Luna. She smiles a bit, though it's obvious she's Not Well, and that's why she's been so scarce this week]

Of course.

[playthedamncard]

[Oh no everyone run away it's a giant ferocious dragon and it's attack--oh, no, wait, it's clearly just a floppy costume. Sure does look like it needs..more than one person in it. Anyone who's seen Kaiba's sketches or peeked at his deck will recognize this critter, and when the head gets pulled back (you know, so that he can eat and all), it's Kaiba.

He's trying very hard to ignore this thing that he's wearing and acting as if everything is normal. Because it's totally normal. This is fine. But you can occasionally hear him grumbling about what a travesty this design is and its inability to truly capture the grand blah blah blah, he's pretending really hard to not mind wearing it because now it is him, he has truly become the dragon, but it looks sad and doofy on him, and that's Bad.

No, the thing that really makes Kaiba mad is when he goes into the cafeteria to get him some grub, except he gets drenched, costume and all, in what looks a lot like blood at first. He looks like a cat who just got thrown in a bathtub by surprise, and if you want to see a look of abject horror on his face as it drips from his bangs and he looks at his costumed clawed hands, this would be the time to do it.

...But give him a couple moments, and with a little inspection...it...is fake, like from a halloween store. So. Breakfast is accompanied by an angry bloody dragon who looks like he just mauled someone kicking a bucket around before finally grabbing something to eat and he's fucking outie 5000.

Alas, no matter how many times he showers, it's likely that through the day you're going to see him 'bloody' at least once. It's not every doorway. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to it. But every now and then when he walks into or out of a room...bam, bucket-o-blood. He's at least learned to keep the head of the costume on when going through doorways, because this shit is nightmare to get out of his hair.

And if he looks like he hasn't slept much, then maybe the reason for it can be seen out and about. The robot lizard is basically his now, and sometimes it clings to the shoulder of his costume like it belongs there. Sometimes it has what looks to be a makeshift leash and collar from ribbon (blue, natch) and some stiff wire from the art room. Sometimes an angry red and white and blue dragon in america can be spotted shuffle-running after the little guy because god damn he's a slippery bastard who can't be kept in one place at any time and this costume is way too big.

If you've ever wanted the opportunity to point and laugh at Seto Kaiba, you're welcome.]

idk around somewhere. robot lizard prompt.

[immaculacies]

[Okay, so. Manaka definitely saw him get that first bucket of fake blood dumped on his head. Kaiba knows that she saw it, because she made direct eye contact with him when it happened. But... Luckily for him, if he thought he was going to get harassed over it, he didn't. She said nothing. She didn't even talk to him in the cafeteria.

Now, though... Seeing him shuffle-run after that robot lizard as best he can in an over-sized, two-person costume, she can't help it. She has to say something. She stifles a laugh, but her amusement is still obvious as she chirps:]

Ah, Kaiba-san~ It looks like you're having a hard time today!

Somewhere vOv

[theundertaken]

[Max is a nice person. Which is why he immediately attempts to muffle his laughter in his hands upon seeing Kaiba rather than completely letting lose with it.]

robot lizard

[batfortheprincess]

[Opens mouth. Closes it.

Like no really, what do you say to seeing a dude walking around in a floppy dragon costume and getting buckets of take blood dumped on him? Probably just laugh but that's rude??? So Slaine will just awkwardly shift his gaze to the robot lizard. Sure. That's a good excuse for why he was staring right.]

...Are you walking it?

lizard prompt

[newcycle]

[look Korra may have severe PTSD.

but she can still question your life choices, Kaiba.]

... What are you wearing?

HERE HE COMES after being severely dunked on

[karappo]

[All the way at the far end of the hallway, when the door to Room 23 opens this morning...there is music.

The music is faint, at first, but it seems to be...following someone. And as they come down the hallway, it gets louder...and louder...and louder.

Where is the music coming from? Who knows. It's just there, somehow.

But he's coming down the hallway, wearing a mask as if the music weren't bad enough.

He's coming.]

[photoshooter]

[At the first strains of music, before Karamatsu even comes around the corner, a chill runs up Prompto's spine.]

Wh-where is that music coming--bwaaAAah?!

[NO THIS IS 2 SPOOPY HE'S RUNNIN]

[le_mat]

[Considering how late Akira says up most nights, one might not expect him bright and early. But after he gets his first morning coffee he can be found in the zero g room of all places. Extra strange is that he doesn't have the power on- in fact he's using the handles to do pull ups.
Both the normal and the upside down variety. His shirt, glasses and some water are sitting out side in his school bag... Along with the Morgana plush.

By the time lunch rolls around though there's some lovely smells coming from the diner. Well, lovely as long as you don't hate pumpkin. He's hard at work on a big pot of what smells like pumpkin curry, and the nutty smell of roasted seeds, brewing coffee and the music he has playing on the jukebox gives the entire diner a different vibe. The curry is there all day for people to try, as well as a bowl of the seeds. Anyone that had some of the curry he had before will notice that, while the pumpkin changes the taste, it is very familiar and recharging.

And late into the evening Akira is found slinking through the halls like he has a purpose.

Unless you're Thomas. They he's just minding his own business tyvm]

diner

[keepmeinyourheart]

[With running around as much as she has, Luna has forgotten to eat. The smell is enough to entice her into entering the diner to see is someone was cooking.]

It smells wonderful in here.

[Hello, Akira, have an Oracle standing in the door to the kitchen.] Is this for everyone?

Zero Gravity Room

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

I didn't peg ya as the type ta get cute plushies Kurusu-kun~!

[Looks like the local zombie is inspecting the Morgana plush.]

Then again, you're a man of many suprises, huh?~

Halls

[theundertaken]

[Late into the evening, Max is...in the art room painting something, actually, but he glances up when he sees a dark shadow creep past the door, as if just realizing that being out alone at night is maybe not 100% the safest thing.]

Dude, you scared the shit out of me.

Diner

[photoshooter]

[Oh. Em. Gee.

As soon as Prompto gets to Floor 2 today, the aroma of cooking--of curry--fills his nose, head, and heart. Without even a conscious thought, he follows the scent to the diner and seats himself dreamily at the counter, lulled to peacefulness by the music.

His stomach growls like Deadeye the behemoth.]

This is what heaven smells like...

[andjerry]

[this man was very pointedly not present all wednesday

and while he catches Akira out of the corner of his eye a few times when he finally comes out to shower, it's as a blur that he twists around to catch but never quite identifies.

he's going to end up like miki, and while he knows it's coming in the end-]

Please. Let me see who you are first.



[lmk if i need to edit if he's doing the in-game stealth or just sneakin]

diner

[newcycle]

[Well, she can't ignore that smell. Like, it is impossible to not want to do that.

She, naturally, pokes her head around the corner. Even though she seems tired, and has been scarce compared to before...]

That smells delicious.

[theundertaken]

[Max, as per usual, is making breakfast again this morning. This time, though, it's real pancakes, straight from the diner! He seems to also be mixing up something sweet-smelling, which seems to be caramelizing on the stove. It seems that he's gotten a new outfit out of the dumbwaiter for today - a pair of jeans and a T-shirt from some pizza place that doesn't seem to fit him quite right.

Later in the afternoon, he finally gets up the courage to attempt the zero-gravity room. You can find him in there lazily turning somersaults in the air and shaking water out of a vodka bottle to bead in the air.

Sometime in the evening, you might catch him putting a bouquet of daisies in the same bottle down in front of the memorial wall.]

Breakfast

[photoshooter]

[Oh my god, the diner is the place to BE from now on. Fuck space food! Fuck Cape Canaveral!]

Are those real?

[Fresh pancakes are a far, far cry from unbaked rehydrated cake batter.]

memorial

[andjerry]

[it's late, but well before he feels Akira sneaking around. he doesn't want to be seen and hopes Max's addition to the memorial is enough of a distraction that he won't be found. he should come out later, add to it after the Saturday night horrors of another dead girl, this one he was an inch from striking the final blow on before Agent York told him to stop, wait- but how can he leave something like that without it feeling insincere?

...so he's stopped long enough to wait for Max to be close to finishing.]

Who is it? ...if you don't want to talk, we don't have to.

Breakfast

[unhappylittletrees]

Oh my goood, that smells so good. I can smell it all the way down the hallwa-

[...]

Max, those are my clothes.

[in4apounding]

Oh noooo-

[That sure sounds like a cry of distress from the Media Room. Anyone investigating will find Penny with her knees pulled up to her chest in one of the chairs, a fluffy blanket wrapped around her cloak-like, transfixed by the screen and looking ready to cry.]

[Onscreen, the credits to an animated movie are beginning to play.]

That- that was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

[Later in the afternoon, Penny stands hesitantly outside Room 11. She rocks on her feet for a moment, briefly turning and taking a step back towards her own room before stopping and coming back to Zombina's door. Her hand raises, haltingly, and knocks.]

Miss Zombina? Are you there?

[And after the evening announcement, Penny is patrolling the entire station as usual. Especially if you happen to be Thomas, because she is not Akira.]
