WEEK FOUR: MINGLE
WEEK FOUR: MINGLE (32 remain) Rise and shine, gremlins. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and it's the start of a new week. To the participants, yesterday's events may seem distant now—albeit not as distant as their life before this. Whether or not they notice, they will have lost a memory upon waking up. The barrier to the north is down, and beyond the bridge lies new areas to explore. Strangely, what was there last week seems to have been replaced overnight. That's not the only thing that's different, either. The participants will find that their lodgings have changed. Finally, should anyone check their PHS, Yoshizawa and Shiro's profiles have been removed. Three Leaders can be found around the area, open (?) to approach. If participants want to speak to them more privately, or to an absent Leader, it looks like they'll have to go through another channel. Furthermore, it looks as though the rules have updated. Once again, participants may find that they have difficulty recalling complete details of the past weeks. Finally, this week, all participants will find that some memories are closer than they appear! Odd, dark fog filled bubbles can be found floating through the areas. These delicate things aren't decorations, however; pop them, and participants may find themselves witnessing familiar events. Or even events that were familiar to them once upon a time... Yes, it's memshare week. |

SETTING CHANGES
no subject
In the Plaza Inn, over the last few weeks, multiple people have been contributing to the kamidana set up:
• Behind it hangs a makeshift scroll with busts of Hajime, Pikachu, Virid, Sharon, Cater, and Kano, beautifully done in black ink.
• Spread out in individual handmade sheets around the original scroll, made from the same wrapping paper, are Laine, Raven, Shima, Yoshizawa, and Shiro by the above talented artist, whose identity is definitely a mystery.
• Bundle of white wildflowers have been left, along with several smooth stones with letters carved into them with something sharp, laid out in a careful row: H, P, V, C, S, S, R, L, S.
• Flowers and water have been left, although these flowers are looking a bit older.
• All of the deceased's names have been written down on pieces of papers, with flowers (?) drawn around the names.
In the Railroad Station:
• There are no more benches because someone burned them all. ]

In the Plaza Inn:
• By the entrance, someone has left a note: Leave a message for the dead. Keep it short. Try to sign it. I’ll see what I can do. ]
no subject
In the Plaza Inn, a few things have placed, made easy to spot:
• There's a note with For Sora scribbled on it, attached to: a crab hat with two suns with sunglasses stickers stuck on the front.
• There's a note with For Chiron scribbled on it, attached to: one large ten-gallon hat, stacked on top of another smaller hat that should fit Chiron's head without it slipping. In between the two hats is a tin star pinned to the top of the smaller hat, and sitting on top of that is a condom filled with honey. That condom is inside four other condoms so it doesn't burst right away but will if it's poked hard enough with the star.
• Another note (sign?) has been left nearby: These are gifts from your friends. All of these notes are in the same handwriting as those of the names with flowers by the kamidana, for reference. ]

[when you enter the office today, you'll find sora at the wall looking at the calendar dressed in something that probably looks like this. give him a second as he's flipping through said-calendar with an increasingly puzzled look on his face.]
Wonder if the Realm knows about Halloween. But how have we been here for so long already...?
[but he looks up when he notices someone nearby and offers a slight grin.]
Oh well. Only 60 days until Christmas.
mountain
[hm. well. he has nothing else to do today, and maybe the top of the mountain will give him a better view of where they are. as he stands at the mountain's base, he folds his arms over his chest and hums as he tries to figure out where to go from here.]
What do you say? Up for a hike?
[he will obviously not ask someone injured, but the rest of you, no excuse!]
the manor
[at some point he's changed into something a little more appropriate as he approaches the manor, a certain kind of ease to his steps as he walks right up to the entrance and lets himself in. As he slowly walks through the manor, he'll take in the sights.
are you here, too?
good...because he will absolutely wait until you're not looking to quietly sneak up...]
Boo!
[please send him through the floor.]
graveyard
[you can also find him at the graveyard sometimes wandering through, or even on occasion sitting on one of the larger headstones. what's he doing out there? who knows? but for once he doesn't wave anyone over...he just seems to be content where he's at.]
wildcard
[surprise me! he can still be found in town at the storybook shop, the kitchen, the planetarium and wandering other parts of the new area.]

[it’s too early for this but someone in a surprisingly conservative outfit has apparently taken over the bar - lining it all up with a variety of ingredients and stages of a cooked meal displayed neatly - and is going to clap his hands and just. Stand up. On the bar. There’s also what looks like some good looking toast just chilling at the end, in tinfoil. So it stays warm?]
I’m a little bored, so I’ll teach you to make an original recipe I’m going to call— Fancy Egg in a Hole! [Maybe he his not so good at the naming part.] I don’t know why I’m stuck on this egg thing, actually. Yeesh. Anyway!
First step is you’re gonna need a slice of your favorite bread— Hey! No samples until the end!
ii. Gun range
[who let taako have a gun
He has no concept of trigger safety]
Woah! I kinda see why people get so obsessed with these! [Posing with it, pushing up the edge of his cowboy hat, which has temporarily replaced his wizard one] I feel like my meat is huge!
[please take this away from him]
iii. out and about
[Hi are you just minding your own business, wandering about, wishing upon wish that Taako would come up and confess his feelings towards you? It’s your lucky day.]
You are a person that exists here. I have no particular feelings about you either way.
[cool.]
iv. jail where he belongs
[Just wandering around the Sheriff's office, hanging out on one of the benches in the jail cells.]
See, now this brings back memories. But I did already say I fucking hate sequels.
[CLOSE THE DOOR ON HIM.]
wildcard.
[If you want memshares feel free to hmu on disco @ morevna#4108 or on plurk!]

[ well, she's already in a scene appropriate enough outfit, but alex has ended up in the clothing store anyway.
she starts over by the hats, examining and putting a couple on her head in place of the one she's already wearing, and eventually gravitates over to the saloon style outfits, which she looks over a little thoughtfully. ]
They look fun to wear, but I don't know if all those ruffles would survive very long around here.
ii. the manor
[ she stands in the doorway to the manor, squinting at the long hallway. she's not moving inside yet, looking more wary than anything.
when you walk up behind her, she absolutely squeaks and spins around. it almost looks like she was a little bit scared...? ]
Oh my god, make some noise next time, please.
iii. wildcard
[ alex can be found around the various locations in town, or at the inn, or story book shop. dm me if you want some pcs and memshares, ahhh!!! but please let me know any content you're uncomfortable with because gangsta is A Lot. ]

[ time to check out the new costumes! this is arguably ochako's favorite part every week. ]
They really like having us dress up, huh? [ smiling, as she comes out wearing a new outfit and twirls. ] What do you think? Do you need help picking something out, too?
gun range.
[ finally, some real fucking guns. ochako probably shouldn't be shooting with her healing shoulder? and yet, she'll be here for a few hours, trying her best to hit the target. mostly, she misses, and it's very frustrating :( ]
There has to be a way to get better at this...
manor + graveyard.
[ either exploring the manor, or peeking out at the graveyard, you can find ochako in an appropriate outfit as she slowly, cautiously, makes her way around the new area. ]
This whole place is really creepy... [ then a door locks behind her or the wind wails and with a yelp, ochako jumps and tries to back away... right into you! she whips around immediately, hands held up in surrender. ] Sorry, sorry!
wildcard.
[ you can find ochako in the bookshop, planetarium, or maybe hiking up the mountain! alternatively, dm me and we can pc some memshares!! ]
gun.
[ she's just kind of been watching with some faint concern, but. ]
But there really is no fast way for it. You will simply have to practice.

i. kitchen
[ tuesday, though, she's in her red robes, hood up, clattering around in the kitchen. there's a burning smell coming from one of the pans on the stove that she doesn't seem to notice or care about much, because she's got her finger in the batter in a bowl she's holding, testing it.
she makes a face, and then mutters fuck under her breath before just dumping it in the sink. ]

[ Vezda is trying on outfits, but, well. It's an ordeal. He keeps picking things several sizes too small and having to swap them back out. And even when he wears the right size, he's engrossed by his appearance in the mirror.
He can't stop leaning in, pulling at his face, twisting his arm in the mirror, on and on. He doesn't look happy about it. ]
...I'm old.
b.
[ well, whenever he's done with his costume identity crisis, he can be found at the gun shop! He's wearing a classic ol' cowboy hat and a red bandana tied around his neck over his normal clothes. And he's absolutely engrossed by the selection here. ]
Wow, they really went all out here, huh?
[ He gets his grubby hands all over them, especially the pistols and the rifles. He tests the weight of them, the balance, the ease of the loading mechanism...hell, he even has some fun with it, twirling some around his fingers. The satisfied look on his face sours, though. ]
Damn shame someone here'll get murdered with one of 'em, though.
c.
[ For the first time since showing up here, Vezda can be found at...the arcade?
He looks around at all the games in wonder, peering closely at many of the games: the DDE machine and smac-a-mole in particular. ]
Damn, I've never been in one of these places before... Future arcades are really something, huh?
d.
[ this is Vezda, standing outside the manor and scrutinizing it almost like he's playing chicken with it. ]
So there's gotta be something in there, right?
d
Well, I would not think it empty. What would you hope to find within?

[ there are - no ribbons at all, this time. no headband either, her hair is free flowing and loose. maybe you have or haven't been concerned about the way she's been acting recently, but even without the glasses, she's as quiet and reserved as ever.
though it does look like she's actually giving their weekly costumes a shot this week, holding up this one unsurely against herself and staring a little overlong at her reflection in the mirror. ]
This... isn't it a bit much?
[ hansa voice ] middle schoolers shouldn't have guns
[ you don't tell her what to do, you're not her father.
that is to say, here she is, at the gun range, looking entirely too comfortable with a revolver in hand. there's a rifle and shotgun set off to the side that she trades off with the revolver with what seems to be a fairly practiced ease, though a more practiced eye might note that she seems a bit less comfy with the old timey rifle than the other two. her performance doesn't noticeably suffer for it, but it's in the small things. ]
... Different, from more modern things, but I guess the basic design really doesn't change much over time...
spooky manors are just begging to be explored
... This really doesn't seem like it should belong here, does it?
[ the rest of the manor is fancy, if dilapidated. somehow, the room full of the occult seems a little out of place?

[well, it's probably not a surprise to find him here, trying to read the graves, or just hanging out here and vibing. his halloween costume outfit was a reaper, so he's wearing a set of plain black robes and a mask that covers the top half of his face; he doesn't have the hood of the robes pulled up, though, glancing toward anyone else who wanders in here.]
Come to pay a visit, have you?
2: tuesday, inn lobby (joint prompt!)-
[on tuesday, somewhere in the middle of the day, you can find emet-selch settled in on one of the sofas in the plaza inn lobby still wearing the same outfit as on monday. he has his phs out, idly making a note here and there in the app as he reads through one of the short stack of books he's borrowing from the shop...
also, there is definitely someone in his personal space bubble and he is just allowing this, like it's perfectly normal? he looks comfortable, actually.]
We may need to go fetch another of these-- one volume seems unlikely to suffice.
[The person invading his personal bubble in question is none other than Hansa Cervantes himself, who is sitting next to him with one arm draped behind Emet-Selch, wrapping around his torso, while the other hand is at the man’s face, sometimes lazily curling a strand of hair around his finger, or letting it trail gently over the side of his mask. Hansa lets out a pleased sort of sigh, his chin nestled on Emet-Selch’s shoulder as he reads along with the man.]
Can we finish this one first? I really don’t want to move…
[Hansa says, with a little sigh. These two sure are just. Being like this. Maybe you should just go up and bother them?]
[this prompt is 2 for 1 if you want it! just let us know in the header if you want both emet-selch and hansa.]

MINI-EVENT: SPOOPY HOUSE
Good evening, everyone. We need to head to the manor now.
[ And with that, the Leaders will... well, lead everyone to the manor! The manor that... for some reason, looks to be in a lot better condition now? That's strange. But once they step inside the main hall, everything still seems normal besides the fact that everything looks clean and new.
And then a voice that doesn't belong to any of the Leaders speak. ]
When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls. Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still--that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight!
[ During this, Wolf just looks tired? Fox appears to be staring at the distance, while Rabbit is, unsurprisingly, ten seconds away from crying at the mention of ghosts. Terrible. At least there's nothing here to kidnap them this time??
There's a strike of lighting, and the lights go out. When they turn on, the three Leaders are gone.
Well. Anyway. ]

WRAP-UP

Owww! Carry me more gently! I'm wounded, you oaf! [ wehhh ] Did you see how cool I looked, though? Tell me how incredible I looked.
no subject
I saw you. You were incredible, yes.
[He really doesn't need to sound so amused when he looks as dirty and beat up as he does, but it's fine. There's a tiny, pocket t-rex head hanging out of the pocket of his duster jacket, wobbling like it has vertigo. Hooked over one shoulder, the handle pinched between an arm, is a pick-axe.
And, of course, Lup is in his arms. He's having to haul her back to town because she looks like she fell down a hole and hit every rock on the way.]

AFTER INVEST 1/3
Mob is stubbornly still trying to dig, though. He listens when Clem tells him that maybe they should stop and let someone else do it, a little exhausted, nods, and then just. . . passes out. Bye!]
2/3
[ THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EASY, SHE WAS JUST GOING TO BOOST HIM OUT. she uh... makes sure he has not hit his head on anything, and then gently shakes his shoulder?
that said they sure did dig a lot so she actually is pretty exhausted too. ]

SPLINTERING
Well, since it’s out there now… Let’s talk.
(Right.)
The week Sharon and Cater were killed, I experienced symptoms from splintering on Thursday. At first, it was mostly short term memory loss. I couldn’t remember what I’d eaten or why I’d entered a room. By the end fo the night, I’d forgotten much bigger things like my name and skills I’ve had for most of my life, like knowing how to use a bow. I ran into Archer, Hilda, Hua Cheng, and Xie Lian who can confirm this. There was one more who knew but... he's not here anymore.
That night, I spoke to my leader and they didn’t know what was happening to me. They told me they would look into it more. Friday morning? Sharon and Cater were dead and I was completely fine. Things were busy for a while so I didn’t har back but eventually, we were able to figure out what happened.
Keep in mind, a lot of this is what I learned a while ago so it's possible that more information might have come to light. If you have more information, please, speak up because there's been some misinformation about splintering.
(Claude takes a breath and begins to explain,)
There’s a disruption in the Realm. The week Virid killed, there was a disruption that was only partially fixed. As a result, more disruptions started to slip through. We’ll call these “infections” and those infections result in splintering.
When a person splinters, you lose your memories quickly— far quickly than we have been. Eventually, you lose all of your memories and there’s nothing left of you. You’re just an empty shell of a person. Once it’s consumed you enough, it spreads to others which is what happened to me.
The only way to stop the infection is to remove the source. There are two ways to do that.
If you’re a secondary case like myself, you have to remove the primary case. Cater or Sharon were splintering and once they were removed, my own infection cleared up and I was fine. Also, the spread seems to be random— I had no contact with Cater or Sharon and I was still infected.
If you’re a primary case? We need to take care of the original source of the disruption which we still don’t know much about. The only way to really stop it is to collect nova and stop whatever is taking it as quickly as possible. Usually, the Realm would be able to make sure none of this happens but right now, it’s weak. We need to get it back to full defenses as soon as possible.
Until then… we need to stop people from becoming completely lost and spreading the infection to others. As a result, whenever someone splinters, someone is tasked with removing the source. That’s why Shima was told to remove Laine. People have reported that Virid said something similar. Some of have been told by them or have come to believe that this means they were told by their leaders.
Please, don’t be angry at them. They don’t find any satisfaction in doing this and it isn't a decision they make lightly. They’re doing what they can to help so this doesn’t happen again and if you want the same, you'll trust that they're doing the best they can and work with them, too.
The Realm is an illogical place. We’ve all had to make difficult decisions… some, more than others. To do the right thing, we’ll have to do things that are wrong. There are ways to fix things and while we can never make things completely right… we can at least try to make things a little more right.

Knowing what we do, I assume we are still expected to perform our duties, even if the killers are here to help us.
