Good morning, esteemed guests. How does it feel knowing you didn't catch the appropriate culprit? Hm...all you can do now is move on.

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 03. 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.

...then again, you might find you don't even get a choice. You don't want to learn about each other? That's just too bad. It seems that now that you've been here for some time, the hotel would like you to delve deeper and expose the parts of you that may remain hidden on a normal occasion. Throughout the week, wherever you are, you may find yourself encapsulated in a shower of stardust as your most private memories are revealed. That's quite unfortunate, isn't it?

Even more unfortunate for some of you, you may find yourself in the possession of memories you weren't aware you had. Memories that perhaps you lost, or memories from a different time...it can be quite confusing to have the memories of a different you, can't it?

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.

[ooc: welcome to memshare week! as a clarification, for those of you who have apped a character you have played in other murder games, you are allowed to have your character remember their other-game memories and memshare these. should you choose to obtain these memories, however, the addition is permanent. have fun!]

[guestservices]

[did you enjoy getting locked in last night? at least you were probably used to it. well, you should have been, since it happened last week. anyway, at least it's over now, as the rooms unlock once more and you're free to go, especially since absolutely nothing happened during the night.

anyway, as you exit or make a move to, you'll find something strange happening. your feet move on their own, guiding you to a specific location.

once you stop, you and one other person are standing at the entrance to the Courtyard.

two people in this thread, please!]

GOOD MORNING, GUESTS

On Friday morning, you awaken to the loud sounds of a typewriter tapping away at a message, and a shrill ding! as a line completes.

Strangely, there's no printout on your typewriter, if you're near one. Instead, when you open your eyes, there's a folded piece of paper on your chest that looks a little something like this. Weirdly... it feels a little thicker than usual...?

[ if you see a giant poster of claude's face in one of the windows of fall dorm... no you don't, because hope is taking it down. if spotted while doing this, he'll wave his hand awkwardly—not in a "hi what's up pleasant day we're having" kind of way, but more in a "please don't ask i don't have an answer to give you" one.

also, because this is a throwback for him, fit check. ]

( also x2 wildcard ig otherwise this is it )

[ashenvaliant]

[ he just


tilts his head sideways to properly examine the poster. huh. ]

… Woooouuuld it be quicker with an extra pair of hands helping get it down?

[battling]

It's still here.

[He's laughing.]

[highestheim]

It's fine, I've got it handled.

[ as he says that, one of the top edges of the poster droops down, smacking him in the face ]

OKAY WELL

[decaptych]

[ Me: I guess this is the week
Everyone in Chat: LOWE THIS IS THE WEEK
Me: T-this is the week

Anyway find him sometime on Monday taping taped papers on the walls. It reads as follows:

FUCK THIS PLACE I WANNA PLAY SPORTS
I just wanna exercise
Hmu if you wanna play sports at Wiwaldi
(Open to all sports but mostly baseball)

- Aikawa

Send help. Not to Aikawa, to me, Lowe. ]

[mustbepurged]

[Just staring at this.]

Did the people here have something against Claude...?

[This has the vibe of a "do not serve this customer" sign.]

[decaptych]

[ He just kind of looks at this from a respectable distance. ]

[highestheim]

We never did take it down, so...

[ashenvaliant]

[ i high five lowe’s hand as they sink into oblivion.


anyway he’s at wiwaldi now. ]

You’re going to need to explain baseball to me, big guy.

[highestheim]

Sort of? It was mostly Fall dorm. [ beat ] It's kind of a long story.

[decaptych]

It's easy, you take a bat, made of wood, not the animal, and hit a ball that's thrown at you, and run to go claim a base before the other team catches the ball you hit and claims that base first.

[ VERY CLEARLY OUTLINING WHICH BAT HE MEANS ]

[highestheim]

[ hope nods back almost solemnly. ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ yuri just opens his mouth. then closes it and rests his hand on his cheek. ]

… Shout if you’re being swamped. Literally. [ the poster is fighting back. the poster could win this. ]

[aono]

[Oh hell yes, he's tracking down Aikawa for this.]

I wanna play baseball!

[decaptych]

So...

Between this and the Small Claude you carry around, I'm not sure what to make of your stance about him.

[decaptych]

You know how to play, kiddo?

[ashenvaliant]

… Thank you for the emphasis on which bat. [ for a moment he was going to swing the nocturnal mammal and hope for the best. thank god this was clarified.

anyway. ]

Sounds doable.

[battling]

I really thought ya did after he came back injured in those early weeks.

[He will assist in taking it down.]

[decaptych]

It bears clarifying. Like sure, you can play baseball with a bat (animal), but at what cost?

You game?

[aono]

Yup! I'm actually really good at it too. I can hit home runs!

[decaptych]

Oh? Damn. Dunno how many people we're gonna get and how teams'll shake out, but let's hope you're on my team then.

If you know someone else who can and wants to, tell 'em.

[battling]

Ya just hit the ball and run around the plates, yeah?
