WEEK 2

[A week has passed. There's been no body, no investigation, no trial. No deaths. Congratulations!

Now the question is, will it last? At the moment, the Commander seems content with forcing people to do petty and mean-spirited errands in return for a mere shower. On the one hand, it's just for showers. On the other hand, what if the demands start to get more extreme? Would caving in encourage her? Is anyone willing to try and find out?

Honesty, with all the strange dates and information floating around from what's been uncovered, the only one in this place who's probably not worried as the time slips into its next movement is Sir Riprazor McRockfang. That's right, he's a sir. A grumpy sir, yes, but still a sir. No one's going to mess with him, regardless of what his true origins may be. And if they do, beware - he bites. Omnom. Good luck, everyone.


There are fifteen strangers - and one alligator - in this place.]

[Vita is in the mess hall eating some of the spaghetti as neatly as she possibly can so it doesn't get on her or what she has with her. She's got a couple of books with her. The hair band is in her hair and the fan is actually hidden away in her outfit made from a bedsheet, but one may notice there is some blue glitter on her hands and outfit.

And no, it's totally not a figment of your imagination that one of those books is glowing a pale blue color. She's looking at it to make sure otherwise it's not harmed or changed in any way.]

[crouching_sin]

[It's Naoya's turn to sit in the mess hall with a few items. There's a leg - the nuts and bolts have been stowed away. The stun gun has similarly been stowed. A pair of cat-ear shaped headphones are hooked around his neck, the wire tucked into his spacesuit.]

[There's also a very large fluffy cat who is sitting on his head as he's working on drawing something. Perhaps more importantly, there's a cougar sitting near his feet, looking at anyone who approaches.]

[leftthelighton]

It's not that Passepartout hasn't been out of his room. it's that he's been like a ninja, doing so when you haven't been looking. But here he is now, in the computer room. He's managed to poke and prod at a computer enough to make it print off random nonsense. A lot of random nonsense. In fact, it's been printing for about ten minutes.

He looks quite alarmed at this fact.

[earietale]

[So Barbara has got a bunch tapes she doesn’t know what to do with and figured that it might help if she goes to the computer room.

Then she sees this mess.]

What the-

[She shoves the tapes in her pockets for now as she grabs one of the papers to try reading it.]

Why are you printing all of this?

[leftthelighton]

I am not! I think!

[ He attempts stuffing the papers back into the printer, and the printer starts making an alarming noise at this fact. It does not like this move. ]

I fully believe this machine is possessed.

[ The papers really don't make sense. It's all in this font. ]

[fashionfever]

[Angela is over here not seeing Passe at first. She's just close to one of the printers and carefully tidying up the printouts into a pile.]

[leftthelighton]

[ Passepartout notices her after a little while of his confusion and approaches her. He looks a little hopeful, as she is the one that solved his technological problems last time they met. ]

Do you know how to stop this?

[earietale]

[Of course these papers are saying things in this weirdness.]

Okay, you might be right, but I don't think the right answer here is shoving the papers back into the printer!

[So she is grabbing said papers and pulling them out of the printer.]

Maybe if we try letting it be, it'll just run it's course and stop when it needs to?

[That's...pretty much the only thing she can think of right now.]

[fashionfever]

[she shrugs emphatically]

Well, touching it a lot is how you got that to happen in the first place, right?

[fashionfever]

Oh, those are cute. Very "Cool Japan".

[She's openly pointing at the headphones. A tray of food is in her other hand as she hustles over to sit right across from him at the table.

That's when she notices the cougar and the smile on her face freezes.]

[crouching_sin]

They're my cousin's.

[He glances down at the cougar, and then back up.]

The cougar's fine for right now, I think. It's not hungry.

[crouching_sin]

[Naoya steps into the computer room, where he spends a lot of time.]

[This? This was not what he expected. Someone who clearly doesn't know what they're doing. He sighs and walks over to the computer, nudging the nervous Frenchman out of the way if he has to.]

I've got it, I've got it...

[fashionfever]

[NAOYA WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS... ARE YOU GOING TO SHOW YOUR SHARK NATURE BY SICCING THE COUGAR ON SOMEONE... WELL, ANGELA MIGHT AS WELL FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE... it's so cute that a guy well out of college age still cares about his cousin? She rests her chin in her hand with a beatific smile.]

Awwwwwwwwww. Family is so important.

[crouching_sin]

[Don't tempt him and it'll be fine, Angela.]

... It... can be, depending on the family. But my aunt and uncle took me in after my parents died.

[fashionfever]

Oh! Oh, I'm sorry for your loss... I don't wanna make anyone uncomfortable about a bad situation or whatever. But if you guys can be close, then I'm happy for you! [s-smile]

[crouching_sin]

... I was young. It's fine. We weren't all that close. But Kazuya... heh. He's one of those people that it's very difficult to dislike in general.

[theserpentsmiles]

[It's the glowing book that catches Nagisa's eye, but the larger one that takes his attention. That....looks like...]

Excuse me, may I... May I look at that book...?

[fashionfever]

What kind of stuff would you do together? Listen to music?

more check-in than meeting!

[beguiledcard]

[ Unlike last time, he has Angela helping with this one. In this case, he needed someone to help set up so that he could put the messages on everyone's doors (or hand them out in person, possibly, in some cases). Like last time, there are notes on the doors! They're free of customized pictures, but they instruct everyone to "meowt up" in the Mess Hall at 2PM/1400 with a... picture of a cat wearing yellow bandanna beneath said message.

And, speaking of wearing things? When people arrive, they might notice that Akira is wearing a toga and petting a cat that's wearing a yellow collar.

This time, there are pieces of paper set onto the table, along with pens of various colors, though namely the 'normal' kind (though there's a pink one and some yellow). As he waits for people to settle in, he takes the moment to slowly sip at the coffee that came from the vending machine.

Not the ammonia kind, obviously; it's a kind that he's having to drink very slowly, because it's already giving him a boost, and he isn't even a fourth of the way through the cup...

He will wave to people as they approach, and offer the occasional smile and nod to go with the gesture. ]

AND A SUGGESTION

[beguiledcard]

So... I figure, this time around, it would be a good idea for people to take turns writing down anything that seems suspicious, or even like some kind of clue about the situation.

It might be a good idea to keep everything limited to one or two pieces of paper, so is everyone okay with starting clockwise and working our way around the room?

[ And he'll start by writing at the top:

"- For those of you who didn't hear about it at the last meeting, there was a spy in our group in the mall. They messed with the evidence of every crime scene and listened in on every meeting.

- They're able to store live animals in the machine that spits out 'rewards' ... but how are these things kept alive, and how were they fit inside that thing?"


And... then he proceeds to casually pass the paper to the next person, his expression calm and casual as he makes a point of watching each person's face when it gets to them. ]
