(26 ḡ̴̻u̷͌͜ê̴̯s̶̢͑t̵̻͝s̴̡̐ ̴c̴h̴e̶c̴k̷e̶d̸ ̶i̴n̴)

Good morning, esteemed guests. How does it feel knowing you didn't catch all of the culprits? 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 04. 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're probably sick of learning about each other by now, but you have a long way to go. You've bonded by now, started to make new friends and relationships that have been strengthened by the test of time and tension. But now, this week, you may find yourself feeling a little more openly positive about the people around you. You might feel inclined to deliver compliments you normally would not, hold hands with people you aren't as close with, hug each other, or...whatever your certain brand of affections may be. It's easier to give them away this week, if only because it doesn't seem you have a choice in the manner. Hope you're ready to get cozy, everyone.

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.

🚗 1/5...

[unrecked]

[Hello, on this fine day of the Lord God.

A loud, rumbling starts up in the chapel, growing louder and louder every few seconds. And then, suddenly, a car busts through the front of the chapel and out into the open, the tires squealing to a halt. Smog and dust roll up over the hood from the back before slowly beginning to clear. The front of the pristine white car has been desecrated with a blow-back of a lot of....blood. All the way up the hood and over the windshield. Its outside frame has been dented, too. Terrible.

The driver's side door opens unsteadily with a heavy, satisfying clunk. Someone steps out just as all of the smoke is clearing. It's Jason, wearing an outfit hilariously not too different than usual. Under the jacket, his front and back on one side has been soaked through with blood. He's holding his other side with one hand like he's trying to keep himself from moving his torso.]

Oh, I'm definitely... going to hell for that one...

[And then he falls right over onto the ground.]

2/5...

[ashenvaliant]

[ there's some thudding sounds from within the car, and then music starts to blast out of the open door. muffled cursing follows and then one of the other doors opens and yuri scrambles out a little tentatively.

he's dressed much in the same way jason is, and looks... great. he looks great. if you ignore the blood seeping through the front of his clothes right above where his heart is, and the way his face twists and he holds his back awkwardly whenever he moves. when he stumbles around the car to where jason has collapsed in a heap, he's favouring his left leg immensely. ]

I'm too afraid I'm gonna aggravate something if I try and move you, big guy.

[ he looks a little exasperated. and in pain. equal amounts of both.

♪♫ it's the... eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fiiight~ ♫♪♪ ]

3/5

[outsidebones]

[harrow is riding in the back of the car, slumped over with her head against the window. she's wearing also wearing a flannel, a leather jacket, and also a black cowboy hat, although the jacket seems to have burn marks all over it here and there, in addition to the many cool skull patches on it. there's blood dripping down her face from beneath her eyes and smeared around her mouth, and a burn mark across her cheek and neck.

but she's alive at least? probably? just taking a quick five and resting her eyes as she smears face blood on this car window. after a moment she at least regains enough consciousness to mumble something, though she still doesn't open her eyes - ]

Ow. Are you sure you know how to drive...?

[and the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night...]

4/5

[supremity]

[ the music continues to blast, until the door that harrow isn't leaning on suddenly opens with a thunk. two, long legs swing out, although the person they belong to is a little coltish once the feet touch the ground.

hua cheng pulls himself out by a grip on the top of the door, the burnt hand wrapped in what looks like red flannel. hard to tell if it's blood or that's just what color that was, at first. ] Leave him, Leclerc, this was not a quiet return.

[ someone will come, probably. he leans his arm on the door for a minute, folding over to cough out a mouthful of blood. much like harrow, he has smeared blood around his mouth and visible eye. looks like some is slowly oozing from under his eyepatch, too, though.

he straightens in his black leather jacket (and flannel) and stiffly walks around to the other side once he brushes the fresh blood off his mouth, going to help harrow out and make room.

♫ went the distance, now i'm not going to stop ♪ ]

5/5 🚗

[guestservices]

[ ♫ just a man and his will to survive... ♫

wow these guys are fucked up, huh. just to add insult to injury, a golden light comes out of absolutely nowhere, and shines down on the car. the sight is breathtaking. one could even call it... heavenly.

...and then the white impala turns to stardust and vanishes, dropping anyone leaning on it or in it on their asses in the chapel, and the golden light disappears.


♫ it's the eye of the tiiiiigeeer ♫ ]

[evocationary]

[well, ok, first, she's going to go grab staff.

second of all she fucking ZOOMS across to all four of them. she doesn't even know where to go? please. this is so bad.]

[guestservices]

[lup manages to slap a bell, and gemini soon appears out of nowhere.]

Who now?

[ashenvaliant]

[ he just waves where he probably fell on his ass after the impala went to heaven. ]

[supremity]

[ waves his flannel-wrapped hand at her tiredly. ]

Do not let anyone play coy about healing. We're all a mess.

[outsidebones]

[well she's basically being helped out of the car against her will when it disappears and she collapses and slumps. maybe on hua cheng? who's to say.

she doesn't open her eyes but she does say - ]

I need to do [cough] task for Virgo, remember?

[she spits up a gob of blood.]

Jason is the worst one.

[unrecked]

[He crackles when he tries to sort of roll over. He cannot.]

Noo... the car... it was for the honeymoon...

[headmt]

[ i cant BELIEVE you all went to superhell

anyway move im bi he will shove people to get to harrow first i aint apologizing about it ]

Fuckin'-- Harrow!

[outsidebones]

[she's just coughing up gobs of blood from where she's slumped against hua cheng and partially on the floor? her arm and leg both look fairly busted.]

[toesies]

—Oh, my god!

[Unfortunately for everyone else here

Sheila is just going to hopscotch over them to get to Yuri and Harrow. There are other people who can tend to Hua Cheng and Jason, who are also here.]

[ashenvaliant]

[ well. okay. he looks very relieved to see her actually. wild. as soon as she's close enough, he'll reach up and grab her hand giving it a squeeze.

and then ask the important questions: ]

Why are you hopscotching?

[outsidebones]

Sheila -

[give her a second while she spits up a bit of blood. great, thanks, that's better.]

[skyagain]

[ I need you to understand I hate you all and am currently walking my dog and this is terrible

anyway cloud will also go get staff I guess and then come back ]

Who's worst off? Now. [ hi all four of you is anyone even conscious to answer. I hate this ]

[callalilies]

[ yeah kaeya beelines it to hua cheng immediately, polaris at his heels as he immediately moves to help him wherever he is. what the fuck am i even looking at here snow i'm going to kill you. ]

Bastard... [ stupid stupid why are you walking so stiffly? ] ...we'll get help.

[shinetrue]

[ well. diluc is gonna shove kaeya towards hua cheng, while he runs to grab another staff member!!!!

then he’ll return to fafa :shakes: ]

[battling]

[Sighs deeply and goes over to Jason, you alive?]

[mustbepurged]

[She's looking at all of them with concern...]

Yuri...?

H-Harrow!

Does anyone have first aid supplies? I-I can help stop the bleeding, for now, but...! [They're gonna need more than that, probably.]

[shaft]

[ HELLO THEY ALL LOOK GRUNGE

Claude just stands concernedly here. ]

You don't even get to keep the car? Brutal.

[philandery]

[ rushing over to JASON HIS BELOVED ]

No... It can't be...

[ he'll try not to disturb him too much so he can get properly healed but he's definitely hovering around, unhelpfully! he may or may not be having a minor internal breakdown ]

[unbested]

Oh jeez... um...

[ looks around at everyone else here, he has no idea who's taking care of what?? ]

Do you guys need me to do anything??

[malewife]

[ Yes. Good. That car better disappear else he would have stabbed the radio.

Anyway, for any of you who are very dirty and want care, he will at least clean your wounds and bandage them with makeshift bandages out of fabric. Did we account Hua Cheng's fox here who is like... Screaming?

OTHERWISE, he's just frowning deeply at this.]
