round four - mingle

[mewreview]

blank state round four



days eleven, twelve, & thirteen

[As evening draws near on the eleventh night here, the night of Satsuki's death, you may retire to your quarters. This time, only a few areas have changed, but there's now a motorcycle, a weapons training area, and some new supplies in the kitchen and bathroom.

For the next two days, everything is peaceful...but at some point, without anyone noticing, a few of you will meet separately.]

day 11

[obeytherod]

[And then Malik rushed in to place dibs on that motorcycle the first chance he had. But before he could drive it, first things were first...

He must lovingly tune it up and check its parts. It already seemed to be in pretty good shape though, so he'll just be on the floor, doing whatever people do when they check parts.]

Hmhmhm...

[souredsweet]

[WHAT IS THIS... he's trying to figure out a more eloquent way to phrase it, really, but in the end:]

...What is this?

[acemedium]

Is that--

A motorcycle?! [Her eyes light up]

[whiterosefoes]

[later after Malik has found the gas... Harriet's SQUINTING into the motorcycle track]

God, I can barely see in front of my face... I hope this bike of yours has a headlight.

[psychup]

day 11, yellow room

[After the trial on the eleventh, Athena leaves fairly quickly, as is usual for her by now. She can be found sitting in on her bed back in the yellow room with the canopy partially drawn, looking through a book borrowed from the library.]

day 11, kitchen

[Though she stays in her room for a few hours, she'll eventually make her way down to the kitchen to get some food. She's smiling, but looks very tired.]

days 12 & 13, various

[For the next two days, Athena mostly keeps to herself, but she still maintains a routine. Early in the morning, she goes for a jog in the greenhouse. After getting showered, she then makes herself lunch in the kitchen. For most of the rest of the day, she's in the library, but takes a swim at the pool before dinner.]

day 11 - kitchen

[volcanoes]

[Iceland approaches Athena a little uncertainly. He's not sure how to say congratulations or to apologize for arguing (though he knows that with what they knew he couldn't have done anything different), and so he struggles internally for a little while before speaking.]

What are you getting to eat?

[This is not at all what Iceland intended on talking about, but it's easier.]

kitchen!

[souredsweet]

[Kaoru is at the stove when she walks in, just finishing up with something that smells sweet.]

Athena-san. [he nods once in greeting; he's been in relatively high spirits since the end of the trial, but it manifests in a subdued way.] How are you doing? You worked hard today.

yellow room

[courthouserock]

[Klavier needed some time in the music room alone after that trial, but after a couple of hours, he heads back to the yellow room.]

So I don't believe I've thanked you yet. I owe you quite a debt, Fraulein Cykes.

[souredsweet]

day 12

[spending so much time the prior week in secluded areas means that he didn't have a chance earlier to scope out some of their newer additions. anyone who wanders into the infirmary can find him there, picking through various pieces of first aid equipment.]

Ah... Excuse me, do you know what this is for? [holding up various things to various people...! ie thermometers, cough drops, some of the ointments, etc.

he can also be found clicking the flashlight on and off and tapping at the glass that conceals the bulb.]

day 13

[Kaoru can be found some time after breakfast near the tea room. he doesn't enter it, but rather stands at the entrance itself, peering in. it reminds him a little of home, and after so many days in this place, the reminder is something that he actually doesn't mind much.

if anyone passes by, he'll straighten his posture and try to look like he wasn't just scoping the place out like an envious loser.]

—Today seems like a good day for tea, doesn't it?

day 12

[volcanoes]

It's a thermometer. You hold it under your tongue long enough and it tells you your temperature.

day 13

[bloomnobly]

Ah, but Kaoru-san, it's always a good day for tea.

12

[ladyofthehouse]

[Austria just came in to grab something quickly, but it's hard to ignore someone flicking a flashlight on and off repeatedly in your eyes.]

Are you enjoying yourself Herr Nagumo?

[bloomnobly]

all days; graveyard

[ Like last week, Yuyuko visits in the evening, before she retires to bed. She pays her respects to the deceased and dusts off the photos...though on Day 12, she comes hobbling in with a small dish of meat, and places it near Youmu's photo, looking rather comically exhausted. ]

Youmu...Youmu, I did it...I made salmon sashimi...I hope you can't get food poisoning in this weird afterlife, in case I sliced it too thickly...

day 12; kitchen

[ Yuyuko can be found here pretty much all day, doing various forms of cooking. She seems to be most focused on a stupidly large batch of takoyaki, though. If someone wanders in on her, she'll ask ]

Greetings! Would you like some takoyaki? Or gyuudon?

[ Her cooking isn't the greatest, but it's passable. An E for effort? ]

day 13; various

[ She's not quite as one-track minded today, and can be hobbling around various places. Primarily she's in the weapon training room attempting (very badly) to practice her swordplay, or sleeping and snoring obnoxiously in the red room. ]

kitchen

[psychup]

Oh!

[Smiling cheerfully. It's okay, she can only cook, like, three things.]

It smells delicious! I'd love some!

Graveyard

[ladyofthehouse]

[Austria had been paying her respects, looking a little spaced out before Yuyuko arrived. It's rather hard to not notice an entrance like that however. She jerks, looking rather startled.]

Ah... [She blinks away her disorientation before clearing her throat.]

Would you like a moment alone with Frau Konpaku?

Kitchen

[heyheyimthemonkey]

Oh ah-- Forgive me for intruding. [Ritsu bows back in greeting. He'd excuse himself, not wanting to bother Yuyuko while she's trying to prepare food, but he suddenly feels like he's been forgetting something.]

....

You're making takoyaki, Saigyouji-san?

[vivillon]

day 12 - weapons training room
[Serena is in a much better mood today than she was for most of last week, and it shows in the enthusiasm she goes at training her Pokemon. She's taking advantage of the available targets here, and she has her Sylveon out.]

Moonblast! I want to see all of those targets down in ten seconds, go!

[Without the restrictions on damaging the setting in place, it's easier to see the potential damage Serena's Pokemon could actually do. Lady fires her fairy blasts at a rapid pace, and the targets that aren't completely torn to pieces are sent flying.]

day 13 - common room
[Serena is laying across one of the couches scrolling through her Pokedex--to those who don't recognize the device, it appears to be a strange encyclopedia with a screen that stretches out as she opens it and displays in 3D.

Anyone who happens to enter the room gets a bit of an examination before she scrolls at a rapid pace through her Pokedex--she's trying to match people to potential Pokemon.]

common room

[psychup]

[She's passing through here with a library book in hand when she catches sight of Serena looking at her.]

What's that?

[whiterosefoes]

(day 11 - weapons room)

[Harriet was curious enough to check out this room as soon as it came to be. She can be found with her sword drawn, attacking the targets with seemingly renewed vigor. However, her face is still quite serious - more serious than the others may be used to seeing her.]

(day 12 - library)

[Harriet's made a habit of coming here at least every few days to study the reference books. Though previously she seemed to be tense and unapproachable, this time she's more calm as she does so. Occasionally she even takes breaks from studying to flip through the replica that she'd made of her dueling deck.]

(day 13 - graveyard)

[ever since Youmu's visit, Harriet's been coming by more often with offerings, like flowers and handmade greeting cards. Apparently, the ghosts are all still there, so she wouldn't want them to think she was some kind of jerk.]

Well, I hope you all like these. I did put some effort in, [she rambles a bit uncomfortably, all too aware that she could be talking to thin air.] Nice that there's less people joining you this time, though.

[no thanks to her UMMM... but at least no one knows. Still. Awkward. She has a lot to think about now.]

13

[souredsweet]

[SHE'S NOT TALKING TO THIN AIR!! or rather, there's an ambling Kaoru nearby, in addition to what may or may not be ghosts...

that said, he waits until she's done talking before he speaks up, because clearly it would just be rude otherwise.] It's a little surreal to think that they're still around, isn't it?

weapons room

[bigthings]

[Kouha enters the room, watching her with interest. His own sword is behind his back as usual.]

Hey, up for sparrin' against something that'll actually fight back?

all days

[acemedium]

graveyard, all days;

[Maya spends a good chunk of her time down here, visiting. She's managed to locate the otterpenguin toy of everyone here (except Sayaka, who gets Maya's) and has placed them by the graves. She's also talking to them, updating them on what happened and what kind of food there is. She finishes off by going:]

Maybe I can try to reach you guys again... but everything is really muddy when I try to sense you, so you have to help me out, okay?

[She basically looks like she's crazy, but that's probably not any different than usual]

weapons training room, day 11;

[God help you all, Maya's found this place. And she's picked up a sword and is swinging it around wildly, though it looks more like she's trying to look cool than actually training. It's pretty clear she's never actually picked up a sword before.]

[And her aim is terrible, she might be trying to go for a target (of sorts) but accidentally swipe too close for comfort to anyone who's standing nearby]

Take that!

hot springs, day 12;

[Maya spends some time here just sitting in the water, rubbing her eyes like she's tired and sitting in the hot water. She thinks she's alone, so she stretches out, leans back, and sighs.]

[At some point she'll start to doze off in the water]

all days, around;

[She spends very little time in her room (even at night) so all of her time is spent around, keeping herself either entertained or busy. She fiddles around in the kitchen, trying to find a packet of instant noodles to make and snacking in the meantime, stops by the aquarium and rollerskating park, and she also dirfts back to the Fire Nation tea room to meditate.]

[Unless she's meditating, she'll stop and wave to anyone she sees around]

weapons training room!

[souredsweet]

[WOW... he's had closer calls but wow this is what he gets for being curious and poking his nose into the training room.]

Fey-san—! [YOU'RE GONNA KILL SOMEONE]

[heyheyimthemonkey]

[Day 11 - Around]

[Ritsu isn't a vain person, but ever since Kouha lobbed off a good chunk of his hair, deciding what to do with it has become somewhat of an ordeal. The hair ties and things Ty Lee requested help a little, but it's impossible to hide it.

His hair style changes constantly over the course of the day trying to find one that rectifies things but he's really at a loss.]

[Day 12 - Laundry Room]

[Ritsu's doing some laundry!]

--NONONONO NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[Correction: Ritsu's ruining some laundry! How attached to that cloak were you Kaoru........]

day 11

[bigthings]

There ya are! [Kouha will just grab Ritsu's arm and attempt to drag him towards the boy's bathroom.] The cat gave me all the stuff I asked for, so let's go fix your hair now. What did you even do to it? It looks awful. [CLEARLY NOT HIS FAULT AT ALL...]

[chiblocker]

all days;

[ Ty Lee's routine takes her the following places in all days: Waking up and going to sleep in the Blue Room, heading to the graveyard every morning to pay her respects, going for a jog, eating breakfast, and then doing something different every morning before lunch, something different every afternoon before dinner, then showering and hitting the hot springs. She's easy to find while going about her daily routine, if preferred. ]

day twelve; the fire nation tea room

[ For once, Ty Lee spends her day more quietly than she has done before, although this time it is not a sad quietness. She's just kind of tired out from the previous day, and can be found in the tea room pretty much the whole day, occasionally offering matches with pai sho and occasionally using some of the art supplies to make up an entirely new game, which has rules that seem to change depending on her mood... ]

But there should be rules about when you can go on which colored space, right?

[ ...And yes she is talking to herself. OR YOU. ]

day thirteen; the greenhouse

[ And on the thirteenth day she has a picnic. In the morning Ty Lee collects as much food as she can, making various snacks with what she recognizes, and then uses sheets from an unused bed to make a picnic blanket out in the greenhouse. There's a piece of paper taped to the kitchen door saying there's a picnic outside, so if anyone wants to join her, they can.

She has zero plans to leave the simulated sunshine room for the day, and can be found idly lying out there or setting up. ]

13!

[souredsweet]

[eating outside? sign him right up. not that he dislikes the kitchen or dining room, but he vastly prefers the false sunshine and field of flowers to sitting in a room with only somewhat flat, bizarre windows.

he arrives with a small bowl in his hands and approaches quietly, only speaking up once he's near enough to the blanket to set it down.]

This is a good idea.

[volcanoes]

day 12 - weapons training room
[Iceland only glances into this room before his expression grows a bit nervous.]

Is it really a good idea to bring a bunch of weapons in here?

day 13 - common room, evening [CLOSED TO AUSTRIA]
[Iceland drops the chess board on a table, letting the solid noise catch attention on its own. He looks at Austria as if he's going to request something quite serious.]

Do you play chess?

day 13 - aquarium, night
[Iceland has secluded himself away in the deepest part of this false ocean. By now it's quite dark here, but Iceland has a flashlight at his side, even if it's off. He's watching the creatures that swim by, looking pretty zoned out.]
