Week 6

Week 6

Monday - Thursday

[ There is a particularly somber atmosphere in the quiet hotel. The day before ended with a terrible miscalculation and an innocent life lost in the name of the “experiment”. Emotions certainly ran high and it would not be strange for those effects to linger into the dawn of the new week. Until now they had successfully determined and executed three other murderers. But the fourth got away. They may not want to face the future yet—but the experiment stops for nothing. 

The opening of a new wing would probably be of little solace to them. But it's not long before they are granted a small distraction.

Early Monday morning -- before they’ve even had a chance to properly examine the new floor and it’s rooms -- a text announcement arrives, following a small jingle. The sound is new; different from the announcement tones used during the investigation last week. It’s just as loud and persistent, but there’s an annoying set of four repeated notes in a pattern that lazily imitates a song assigned to this notification.]

Hello participants. 

I hope you are doing well this morning and are well rested for the day ahead. There will be a meeting held in the lobby fifteen minutes from now. You will all be required to attend. Any person who is absent will be appropriately hunted down and brought to the meeting place by whatever means necessary. An important change has been made to the experimental proceedings, of which you must all now be made well aware.

See you all in fifteen minutes.

...Goodness.

[well, you weren't wrong, honestly.]

Some sort of quality that makes you different from everybody else... Oh, I've got it! It's your bluntness!

[oh my god]

[devilsnight]

I actually asked her if it was how much I swear, because she was throwing around the word "fuck" like she'd just learned it that day. She didn't seem amused.

[scythegun]

[ohhhhhhhhh my god don't you make him laugh at that, asshole]

Well, you do have quite a mouth on you! I'm a bit surprised that she started, but perhaps she learned from the best!

[devilsnight]

I'm not, actually. She was poisoned and pissed off, can't say I blame her too much.

[Eh.]

...I'm gonna be fine, you know. Just kind of had a moment.

[Still...kind of having a moment, judging by the rapidity of speech he's got going on, but he's seeming to calm down bit by bit.]

[scythegun]

I know you will. These things pass after a little while! I thought it might be a good idea to distract you until it does though, ja?

[see, he spends all of his time being useful trying to get his friends to sit, sometimes it works]

[devilsnight]

Yeah, I guess. This sort of shit happens sometimes. Not usually like that, but...

[He shrugs.]

Christ, I've been in here way too long.

[scythegun]

No, trust me, I understand entirely. It's honestly some sort of miracle that I haven't had the same thing happen yet!

[devilsnight]

Come find me if it does. I'm absolute shit at calming people down, but I can give you stuff to do at least.

[scythegun]

Ja, of course. There aren't many people I'd trust myself to be around when I'm like that.

[he would absolutely try to pick a fight with yuri and literally no one needs that]

[devilsnight]

Don't blame you, friend - this sort of thing is why I got the guys in the gym to beat the absolute hell out of me last time.

[scythegun]

...I was going to say "usually I don't go quite that violent" but that would be a blatant lie. Usually I don't want anyone to beat me up, though!

[devilsnight]

Come the hell on, I fought back.

[...it's just that there were two of them and yeah.]

[scythegun]

Well, the odds were stacked against you! I'd certainly never put myself in a position like that!

[what an asshole]

[devilsnight]

Well, I was pretty sure they weren't going to kill me, just because it'd throw off the game if they started doing that.

[HE DID NOT AT ALL FIGURE THAT THEY MIGHT BREAK HIS BONES OR SOMETHING BUT HE DID THINK THAT MUCH THROUGH, AT LEAST

LIKE GOD SAVE HIS POTENTIALLY BROKEN BODY BUT AT LEAST HE'D STILL BE ALIVE]

[scythegun]

[WHAT IF THEY BROKE ALL YOUR BONES WHAT THEN]

You're very lucky they didn't injure you any more! Just imagine if I had to chase down two people to remind them about their bandages...

[devilsnight]

Who the fuck else are you chasing?

[scythegun]

Yuri. He got himself injured and he seems to be allergic to keeping his bandages on.

[devilsnight]

Well, look at you, getting all nurturing and shit. Consider me surprised.

[scythegun]

It's only because I need him alive to save the world. I couldn't care less if he died otherwise!

[ohhhhhhh my god no, no you've totally got the wrong idea!!!!]

[devilsnight]

Not like you need me to save the world, and yet here you are.

[scythegun]

You're at least amusing! I'd probably go crazy if I was left in here with everyone else!

[he needs another jerk to be aggressively himself at YOU GET IT RIGHT...]

[devilsnight]

Well, as long as I can keep you entertained, I guess.

[Okay. Okay, he's not...calm, not by a long shot, but at least he's sort of coming down to manageable levels and he's shaking a little less, this is good.]

[scythegun]

[That's good! That's really good. He's not going to leave until Top Dollar is done shaking or until he's kicked out, whichever one comes first.]

And you can! You're very good at it, you know!

[devilsnight]

Ain't you just full of flattery today. You're gonna make me wonder what I did to deserve it.

[scythegun]

You should take it while I'm giving it! It's not often I'm in such a charitable mood, you know~
