LET THE GAME BEGIN

[strangerpeople]

KOPARA AIR FLIGHT 15
(SYD -> HNL)

[Well, good going, Yurick and Vita. You dun fucked up. Now it's a murdergame. Still, could be worse. It could be a certain screechy female commander in charge, right?

In any case, you are stuck here. It's frustrating, and as time goes by, being here is going to wear everyone down. Not to mention the scent of those damn leis just won't go away, even after you've tossed them aside. The air permeates with it, and combine that with recycled air that only makes things more irritating and pungent, the limited supply of essentials, the limited space even on this large plane, the horrible electricity situation, *and* the threat of the murdergame now ever-present over everyone's heads?

Things are not fun right now. And as time goes by, it's going to only get worse. It's just a question of how - and whether there's any escape before it becomes too much to bear.]


((OOC: Welcome to the week! We'll be doing things a little differently here - we will have a sub-heading for investigations to happen, where players can send their characters of to find clues. Just head over there and use the OoC map to help guide your characters to major clues if you so wish!

Of course, you can always court disaster for your character, courtesy of the RNG, if you so wish! As a result, there will also be a sub-heading revealing everyone's level of injury, which will start at a default number for everyone (except those already injured coming in, or injuries inflicted before the pilot's call!) at the beginning of the week! This can be raised as you see fit to inflict pain on your character - just remember to TAG ANY COMMENT THREAD FOR THE MODS if you want injury rolls! Just don't go too high - your character may not survive if you do!

GOOD LUCK! And remember - have a nice flight!))

MEETING

[mermaidkin]

[Well, it's happening in the premier class bar like he said. Hiyori is clearly pretty stressed and worried that everyone will hate him now. He's trying to pick out drinks he thinks everyone would like. Absinthe for Beatrice. Cola for Jonathan. He's got sparkling water. The condensation marks on the side of the cup indicate a heavy, stressed grip.]

Uh, first things first, a toast to the fallen.

[A moment of silence. All three were complete strangers to him. For an educated boy, Hiyori has surprisingly few words.]

To business... Everyone please consider disclosing any powers or other resources you've discovered. Because the Captain already knows and we have no incentive whatsoever to hide them from each other, being, well, all in this together and everything.

I see the future. I was with, you know, Satanichia-sama in the premiere class seats and saw Dazai-san shot by the Captain; she can vouch for what he said. Obviously I failed to actually help, and I'm really sorry. I haven't done the thing again since then. If I do I'll let you know I guess. That's all.

[stavros]

[Kokoro frowns and surveys the room.]

He hinted mine earlier. I believe this is the extent of it.

[She focuses and begins to give off a sickly glow.]

I'll admit, it does not appear particularly useful in here.

[mermaidkin]

No, wait, that's actually pretty good? We don't have full control over the lights in here, they could get cut altogether and I don't know how far we'll get using our smartphones as flashlights.

On the other hand, this could draw attention to you and that could be really bad? We should probably, you know, plan for that.

[champion_link]

... There are a lot of dead downstairs. Please don't go down there alone.

[His voice is quiet, somewhat hoarse from overuse and stress.]

The girl who... was called Tiffany... her name isn't... really Tiffany.

[mermaidkin]

[Hiyori stares for several seconds, assuming Link will pipe up with something more specific than "not Tiffany", before giving up.]

Well, that explains the part where she's a— you know. Where she was lying.

[guarandoo]

Y-Yes. I was there when...

[ She trails off and shakes her head. ]

W-Well, I, Satanichia, haven't figured it out yet, but surely I have something!

[mermaidkin]

...OK!

[If anyone lays a finger on her they're getting backhanded!?! Well, Hiyori is the one who's been getting her down. Uh. There's cherry soda for her if she wants it.]

Uh, maybe it's a passive power then? Like night vision?????

[backuphero]

[Jonathan is here, and looks even more worn down than earlier. He's sipping the coke very cautiously... it was a kind gesture, though, something obviously tailored to him.]

Right. I can only do it once an hour, so I hope you'll take me at my word if you missed it when our... chauffeur started talking to us... I can duplicate myself. Only one copy, and only for about half a minute, and if it gets hurt it disappears, but the copy can talk and I remember the conversation. Can remember what they see, too. Which...

[A pause. Another sip of his drink. He is trying very very hard to keep his voice level and look calm.]

The snakes really like those flower garlands. The copy had one on because I did, and they went straight for it... Vita pulled the one on me off and threw it out of the elevator and they swarmed it like a bunch of garter snakes in spring. They might work to distract them.

[stavros]

Do you suppose they were used to lure the snakes here in the first place?

[mermaidkin]

[He compared a snake to another kind of snake. Every time Hiyori thinks he's had the peak Jonathan experience, it turns out he has not.

Anyway he's having a panic over his lei, removing it and setting it down on an empty barstool.]

We should definitely keep these somewhere besides right on our bodies! We don't all need them!

[guarandoo]

...Wait, SNAKES?! THERE'S SNAKES?!

...

Are there friendly snakes...?

[ Because Satania doesn't mind snakes as long as they're not trying to attack or kill her. ]

[mementodagger]

The power I was given amplifies my voice. I haven't really tested how loud I can get, but when I tried it against the snake that bit me I could tell it was far greater than a normal shout. Unless someone wants to volunteer to be potentially deafened, it will be difficult to experiment.

[He sips at a bottle of cold tea, barely looking at Hiyori. Instead he's watching Jonathan, Vita, Link, Ren, and Atsushi (if they're present) for signs that they might need his support. Of course, Jonathan and Vita are inseparable, so if he's needed it will likely be by the others.]

[mermaidkin]

Hey, we get to call the Captain on the phone now. That could seriously work in our favor with the right timing.

[To Hiyori, Yurick's problem with Hiyori is Yurick's problem, not Hiyori's problem. Hiyori is twirling his smartphone on the surface of the bar.]

[werewoofing]

I haven't been of much help... I'm sorry. [Says the Actual Literal Dog in a cone of shame and bandages.] I haven't discovered anything, or any special powers.

But my nose and ears should be better than most of yours. If there's anywhere you'd like me to check out, I'd be glad to.

[mermaidkin]

Oh my god. Tsukishima-kun wasn't exaggerating.

[He's just staring blankly. Why does the dog talk. Let the dog rest.]

Well... Is there anything you haven't heard or smelled that you think you should?

[champion_link]

[He has nothing to really contribute to what Ace is saying but he does nip over to the d'hôte area and bring back some raw chicken on a plate for the dog, which he puts in front of him.]

[pimpplan]

[ He's been here, I swear. ]

I haven't figured what mine is yet. Guess it just hasn't been important enough to manifest yet.

[ He shrugs, popping a chip from a bag he probably lifted from the carte service. ]

Has anybody tried seeing what's so attractive about the leis? Might be worth digging into if it's something we can replicate to keep the snakes off our ass.

[mermaidkin]

He... literally told you it was disabling a target. But! I guess that's kind of vague. Maybe you have to try to do it with your mind?

[Hiyori had a negative first impression of Zelos from the door thing but you know what he's not several other people who have much more deeply insulted his life and his choices since then so he can stay. The lei thing for now he will let someone else try to handle though since nature is not exactly his domain and his ears were starting to ring again anyway. One thing at a time. One hour at a time!!!]

[whitemoontiger]

[ He'd hesitated but eventually he found himself here, wringing his hands a little. After speaking with Hiyori earlier following what happened to Dazai, he's feeling a little better but he feels like maybe he should speak up about what he has found. ]

I... don't know what my power is yet... but... I have discovered something that ties in to what the Pilot said earlier. He made a reference to someone named Mr. Jones.

[ Atsushi then pulled up a folded piece of paper out, unfolding it and then it was clear that what he had was a plane ticket. ]

I found this when I first entered Coach Class. Just lying on the floor and it's addressed to one Sean Jones. I suspect it's probably the one the pilot... our captain... spoke of.

[stavros]

So at least part of this is related to his own enemies. If Mr. Jones wasn't the original captain, what sort of enemy was he?

[beguiledcard]

I'm the idiot the "captain" was talking about - the one that teleported outside of the plane for a moment.

[ Doesn't... even sound ashamed? ]

[stingyshima]

[oh. um??????? ah.]

I don't envy you.

[mermaidkin]

[Hiyori is playing up his awe in a goodhearted teasing way.]

Oh, so you're the reason the Captain had a rule against entering the cockpit and not just an electrified door!

[champion_link]

[Link speaks up again.]

Yurick and I found a bag with some things in it, by the way. I don't know how all of them work...

[mermaidkin]

Oh, this is a good find! I'm a little more familiar, would you mind if I take a look at that?

[Hiyori is TOTALLY not gonna snatch that right out of his hand if Link says no what are you talking about!]
