WEEK SEVEN: MINGLE
W̴͍̎E̴̝̊E̸͚͝K̸͕̿ SEVEN: MINGLE
(18 ḡ̴̻u̷͌͜ê̴̯s̶̢͑t̵̻͝s̴̡̐ ̴c̴h̴e̶c̴k̷e̶d̸ ̶i̴n̴)
Good morning, esteemed guests.
Ha. Hahaha.
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.
In addition, should you enter the elevator you will find...nothing? There are no new buttons. However, if you look on the Mezzanine you will find a few new areas to peruse. These rooms are still locked from the outside, but perhaps you may ask politely and be granted access. In addition, as you explore the hotel you will find that you have now lost access to certain rooms. How odd.
The portraits from the week before continue to hang in various parts of the hallways and in the rooms themselves, continuing to depict innocuous scenes. Like before, if you linger just a touch too long, you'll soon find that you and whomever you're with will be lost in a swirl of shadows and pulled directly into the portrait itself. You will have to find your way out just like before.
Strangely, however, you no longer have that connection with the person you are with. You're no longer in sync, unable to feel their thoughts or movement or really even have to cooperate. Instead, regardless of where you are in the hotel whether it's inside a portrait, a door, or even your own room, you will begin to experience a feeling of numbness. Perhaps it starts in your body, the inability to feel pain or the touch of someone's hand. Maybe it infiltrates your emotions, quieting everything you've been feeling lately to an even, neutral stance. After a while, you may become so numb you feel yourself fading away entirely, a limb slowly being erased, but you can quickly snap back if someone addresses you.
Try to keep yourselves grounded, 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.

[ she's not Akira who just jumps on shadowy things with glee. but hey! it all worked out. time to peek over yuri's arm and jiiiii at the tree. ]
....And. Well. That's a sign as any.
[ so if he doesn't object, futaba's toddling over to stick her head into the hole ]
no subject
Nice of them to lead us right to it, I suppose.
[ well, futaba's going to stick her head in i guess. yuri will hover behind getting as good a look as he can. what's hiding in this tree? ]
1/2
well, first thing they'll notice is there's a body in here.]
2/2
futaba, in another life, might have recognized her. or maybe she will, if she ended up with any of her other self's memories during memshare week?
yuri, on the other hand, may recognize the style of clothing and shoes she's wearing as being very similar to the women's clothes in the closet of the room he broke into.
zzz...]
no subject
she, on the other hand, squints dubiously because honestly sleeping in a tree sure is a choice. then again it's still better than under the floor? ...... she has no way of being mean about this either, rude. ]
Sooooooo now what? I don't see any helpful indicators.
no subject
I recognise the clothes, but-- [ he goes quiet for a moment, but remembers they sent people out on a door journey, hopefully someone took them up on it. ] I think it's like the other couple people have run across.
[ he's going to lean over futaba and see if he can't see anything else in here. can he pat her shoulder, or...? ]
no subject
yuri is able to pat her shoulder. when he does, she stirs slightly -
but before anything else can happen, the entire room is plunged into deep, dark shadows. when futaba and yuri next blink, the shadows clear, and they find themselves in the normal version of the butterfly gardens again.
the tree is gone. the girl is gone.
perhaps they should report their findings.]
