WEEK 5

WEEK 5

monday

tuesday

wednesday

thursday

Was what happened on Friday yet another tragedy in a string of them or just a complete shitshow? Well, regardless of which line of thought you subscribe to, the reality of it is that another three of your number are no longer in this realm with you. At least the remains of what had happened last week have been neatly cleaned up as always, even if that might not change what’s been etched in your memories. The drum set in the jazz bar remains busted though, because the masterminds aren't that generous. At least the tarot shop and boutique remain fine even if the vanished crystals and women's clothing aren't going to be restocked.

But either way, it’s a new week, and that means new locations to explore as the fog gives way to more of the city and its lamplit streets. The new moon waxes to half this week, appearing as a crescent moon for most of the week. It's far from optimistic, but maybe the brightening is a sign that this will be over soon...? Or maybe it just means the worst is yet to come, it's hard to say.

Party

[deadlygoals]

[ Tonight, the Jazz Bar will be sparsely decorated with various unlit candles of different colors and scents on each table. Carbonara, fried chicken strips, paczki, and snacks from vending machines can be found at the end of the bar. Bottles of water and other drinks from vending machines are set up beside it.

For entertainment, various games can be found set up on a few tables nearest to the instruments (chess, a deck of cards, jenga, or anything else from the hotel). The notebook is back again on a new page for people to write about themselves or any of the deceased. There’s a book on space and an art book from the museum over where the host is hanging out at. Dazai is sitting there, with his hands folded in his lap giving a grin. ]

Hello! I do encourage everyone to grab a drink for tonight’s game. We do have sealed bottles on the bar if anyone is worried about tampering. Oh yeah, the Jukebox works! Feel free to play whatever you want on there.

[ Even if it’s What’s New Pussycat twenty times in a row. ]

First Game: Never Have I Ever

[deadlygoals]

[ After people arrive and start to settle down, Dazai will relocate to the bar area. ]

Okay everyone, grab a drink. It's time to play Never Have I Ever. [ He's making himself a glass of whiskey and will play bartender if anyone asks him to. ]

You say something you haven't ever done, and if someone has done it before they will have to take a drink. I could say, for example, that I have never owned a pet before. If you have owned one or currently still own one, then you would take a drink. Got it?

Never Have I Ever been Nineteen and Older

[deadlygoals]

[ He is the only eighteen year old here. Drink up everyone. ]

[inordertobelieve]

... really now.

[ Mikami is here and... miraculously appears to be playing? At least he's seated in the general area of the game and he has a drink. That he's sipping from now. Maybe coincidentally or maybe because he is 27. ]

[pr159]

[ Wow.

Drinks. ]

[reanbeans]

[


Wow. Rude???

But he'll sip. Fine...CHEATER. ]

[ortion]

A cheap shot for the very first round? How bold of you, Dazai.

[All of that is said sarcastically as he takes a sip.]

[drydrown]

[You know, Cumore generally doesn't drink but tonight he is willing to bend this a little because his afternoon was an Ordeal and it warrants being hammered. Judging by how we're starting this, hammered he shall be, good lord.]

How much of this are we supposed to have every time someone does this.

[psychophant]

...Well, I suppose that's one way to play.

[Does he approve or does he hate it, it's kind of hard to tell. Anyway, taking a sip, obviously.]

Never Have I Ever Been Unable To Get Up At 5AM Here

[reanbeans]

[ Okay let's goooooo he's giving it a try. ]

Never Have I Ever Left A Public Location Here In Disarray

[inordertobelieve]

[ He needs to know who to judge. ]

Never have I ever dated someone

[notbymyside]

[It might be a little sad but he's taking what he can get here.]

Never have I ever received any money from a family member.

[pr159]

[ He's got another one in mind, actually, but he's not going to go there immediately. ]

Inheritances and allowances both count, for the record.

Never have I ever piloted a robot

[deadlygoals]

[ Mechas count. Sorry Rean. ]

Never Have I Ever Worn A Suit and Tie

[raventhaw]

Never Have I Ever Avoided Dancing While Fighting

[bawcock]

Never Have I Ever Had A Power/Ability Before Arriving Here

[ortion]

[Dist has been thinking...and this one seems promising.]

Never have I ever voted for Rideaux as the culprit.

[pr159]

[ All right, he's had enough drinks by now, he's doing it.

And casually twirling a knife in his hand, nbd. ]

Never have I ever gone to school

[deadlygoals]

[ \o/ ]

Never have I ever been outside for more than an hour.

[moonfang]

And I mean outside yer house or wherever you live.

Never Have I Ever Slept With A Man

[drydrown]

[Maybe surprising given the source, maybe not. Either way, he's curious about the demographics here and has no fucking control over his life anymore so this may as well happen.]

Never Have I Ever Had Both of My Eyes Visible in Public for Years

[deadlygoals]

[ It's been covered since he was fourteen. ]

[pr159]

[ For anyone wondering why the drum set in here is dented and broken, or why the creeping fig is now a mangled mess, your answer has arrived.

Rideaux isn't exactly thrilled at the idea of socializing with a lot of the people here right now, but he also is not going to let those assholes drink and have fun without him. So here he is, and here are his knives, and everyone can fucking deal with it.

He'll be standing near the wall with a drink for much of the evening and making sure everyone knows he's watching them -- though at other points he can be found by the jukebox, which he seems pretty familiar with the workings of, trying to find a decent jazz instrumental, or reading through the instructions for Monopoly with the game still in the box.

...He's not wearing his sunglasses, but they're sticking out of the pocket of his vest. ]

Monopoly;

[reanbeans]

[ Well, Rean would eventually be coming over to see what he's up to over here, so... ]

Were you thinking of playing that game with someone?

[ He's never played Monopoly but he could recognize that it seemed to be a board game from here. ]

[moonfang]

[lbr he's mostly here for food. When he has access to the juke box, he's bitching about the selection -- mostly that everything is too pop and soft. He gives jenga a shot and he's surprisingly good at it! The rest of the time, he's on the couch, once again with one of the guitars -- though now, an electric one plugged into an amp at a low volume]
