(24 ḡ̴̻u̷͌͜ê̴̯s̶̢͑t̵̻͝s̴̡̐ ̴c̴h̴e̶c̴k̷e̶d̸ ̶i̴n̴)

Good morning, esteemed guests. You had quite an eventful weekend, didn't you? Let's see how you're able to move on now...

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. However, you will find that upon entering the location, the area to the north is fixed to one place.

In addition, should you enter the elevator you will find a new button appears, proudly reading 05. 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.

After everything last week, you may feel like it's time to put all of your feelings back inside and bury them away. You were...affectionate? How embarrassing for you. Perhaps that's something you'd like to forget. Conveniently for you...that may happen to you this week. Throughout the week, guests will find that they will experience small instances of "loss" occurring to them. You may find yourself losing certain memories, certain skills, or even certain senses. Don't worry, they will always come back after a while! But it seems that these instances come and go without warning. Hopefully you can prepare yourself for that.

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.

[they seem to follow pretty easily, actually. their steps are nearly silent and they more or less kind of glide across the floor.]

Sort of just leading with your front foot and letting the rest follow. If you don't lay out the groundwork with the first step you lose the rhythm. Right?

[evocationary]

[hits him with a stick but metaphorically]

Yes, it was. It was a part of you. I've seen it before this week. [she says this firmly.] ... You know whatever stuff you forgot doesn't define you. Don't make me do a protag speech in public.

[evocationary]

[she cracks up, staying where she is, reaching up to gently rub his head where he bonked it.]

Why did you go along with it! [cloud!!!!]

[guestservices]

I did say some credit. [it's fine. don't be rude, both of you.]

But maybe they don't need to know much tonight outside of how to dance and what snacks are the best.

[skyagain]

I think more people should wear hoodies to fancy balls.

[guestservices]

As you'd like. [they will gesture for cloud to follow! there's probably a few chairs off to the side, so they are heading to those and dropping into one easily before gesturing for cloud to sit in the other. there is a drinks table behind them.]

This ought to do.

[skyagain]

[ be careful his carefully coiffed locks... that are the same there's nothing to be done with this mess outside extensions ]

It's what you do in a dance!

[skyagain]

[ looks at some people dancing ]

... Well we've got one half.

[guestservices]

Once ought to be enough. [she can't see it, but they're probably giving her a look back.] Even though I am the one with more experience in this regard.

[and they go! dance dance...]

[guestservices]

There really aren't that many of you left, Mister Todd...I imagine they'd notice far sooner than you'd think.

[skyagain]

[ absolutely hilarious that he reflexively sits a little more primly in the dress. i love ff7r's body language choices ]

... Thanks. The heels were kind of a pain.

[ he grabs himself a drink, sipping slowly, and also grabs a different drink to pass along. gemini is on the job so they get fruit punch <3 ]

Still. I guess this could be worse, party-wise.

[guestservices]

[they look around the ballroom, as if trying to imagine a bunch of dancers twirling around in hoodies]

[guestservices]

[also looking that way.]

Think you could do better?

[guestservices]

[i hate that. regardless, miss cloud is sitting primly and gemini leans back a little more comfortably in the chair before taking the drink. there's a moment that they look at cloud because what is this punch, but they will accept it.]

They truly wanted to make sure you matched...[why. but they also sip.] I imagine it could be better, but beggars cannot be choosers. The castle was an appropriate setting, so it would have been a shame if it wasn't used.

[ashenvaliant]

[ betrayal. imagine if i let yuri get hit with a ton of arrows and have horrible flashbacks to sunday? ]

For the love of—

[ he’s gonna grab dimitri by the collar and yank them behind part of the shrubbery. ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ (claude voice) hnnnnngh i tried to dance at the ball but the clap of my massive booba kept ripping my stylish shirts ]

Then don’t pinwheel your arms like a child and you’ll be fine.

[ashenvaliant]

Hm. Well, that’s an intriguing way of putting it.

[ heh. ]

Go on then, I submit to your design aesthetics.

[ashenvaliant]

[ just tilts his head. ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ he takes a loonnng sip of his drink while looking at him.


but then he puts it down with a sigh and takes the hand. ]

Why not. Might as well enjoy things if they’ve gone to the trouble of putting it all together.

[ashenvaliant]

[ throws at hors d’oeuvre at him ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ hello canopus uwu she can have a little pet. please tell me she has a fancy collar on i’m crying. ]

Mmm… I like dancing well enough. But I also enjoy observing too.

[ashenvaliant]

Shh, shhhh. It’s like you put an entire tub of that hair fixer in here, Sylvain.

[ he cannot be as gentle as sylvain wants…. this is war. ]

I might need to dampen this…

[ashenvaliant]

A make up competition? Sounds fun. You seem to have done half the work on yourself already though.

[ashenvaliant]

It’s probably “not entertaining” if we don’t.

[ he’ll hold out a hand to her. ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ he’s examining his hair critically. did he managed to save it? ]
