(32 ḡ̴̻u̷͌͜ê̴̯s̶̢͑t̵̻͝s̴̡̐ ̴c̴h̴e̶c̴k̷e̶d̸ ̶i̴n̴)

Good morning, esteemed guests. What a terrible day to be awake. But perhaps it's a little easier now that you've experienced two executions...congratulations to you for the send-off of a teenage girl.

As you awaken on Monday, you’ll find that things are just as they were the night before. The kitchen will serve piping hot breakfast during the morning hours, the pool’s been stocked with fresh towels and the gardens are open for anyone who wishes to spend some time among nature. However, should you explore a bit, you’ll find that a few new changes have been made to the hotel itself.

Your room service menus are still on your desks if you wish to browse before leaving for the day.

The front door no longer spins endlessly, for one thing. Should you make an attempt to exit the hotel, you will find yourself entering a new location. Some of you may even find this place familiar.

In addition, should you enter the elevator you will find a new button appears, proudly reading 02. Pushing this button will take you to a new floor where you will also find a few new areas to peruse. Explore to your heart’s content, get to know more of the hotel, and take your time in learning more about each other.

You may be trying to learn about each other, but what do you do when you hardly recognize one another? It's unfortunate that this week is one where appearances are no longer a solid identifier. Throughout the week you will find your body taking on new features against your own will. Whether these are animalistic features, elemental features, feathers, shadows, stone, magma...extra eyes, fangs, wings...they will adapt to you and you'll hardly feel a thing. Time to get comfortable in your skin.

Finally, for those of you with a spare ticket in your pocket, feel free to visit the Starlight Gift Shop, stocked with new items for this week.

You did?

[ Jin emits a few low-pitched cries, fur fluffing out. she is an anxious fox, but she will let go of Sheila! be free. find that bread. ]

..The door. Maybe. Assuming it isn't powered by electricity as well. [ he seems to contemplate, maybe. he could? it's probably just back the way they came but. he's more curious about whatever Sheila felt? he'll move a bit in her direction. just a lil step. ]

[ dokja is rewarded for his curiosity and choosing to stay, and sheila is rewarded for her... footwork. heh. what she leans down to grab is soft.

right as she grabs it, there's a whirring noise, like an engine being slowly cranked to life, and then the lights overhead suddenly flicker again, filling the plain white simulation room with light.

as sheila and kim dokja look down, they'll find what they're holding is soft. it's fluffy. it's...

....a bundle of hair...?

they get a couple of moments to examine it. but, not long; suddenly, shadows burst out of the ground and swirl around sheila's hand, and then engulf the two of them completely - both sheila and dokja black out, and when they come to again, they're standing outside of the simulation room door once again. if they reopen the door, they'll find it's back to a plain simulation room; the object is gone, and nothing is amiss.

thank god for those fancy invoices, huh? ]
