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.

[ huh. ]

Oh, that's different. Now I can see your mouth not moving.

I'm grateful that people generally didn't question too much why my voice sounded strange.

[them muffling it a little and everyone just like DO YOU HAVE A COLD? at the beginning]

[ he shrugs. ]

Sometimes people have different voices. Or none. Or mental ones, apparently. As long as you were communicating fine, then what's the problem?

Not having human vocal chords can be rather inconvenient at times.

Oh -- but you have non-human vocal chords?

Mm. It's a little hard to explain, but what you're hearing is sura speech.

...

So, in some way or another... yes, non-human. Or not human as I recognise it. [ i think a lot about yuri saying shit like this and not knowing (grumbly certain endings spoilers). ]
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 12-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2022-07-28 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Correct, I'm definitely not human.

Do you have time to explain Sura, or do we put a pin in this for a later time?
nonbelligerent: (twisted bird. 12-4)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2022-07-28 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Unlike, say, humans or dragons, my species seems to be at least somewhat unique to my world, so it'd probably take a while to explain.

[personal profile] ashenvaliant 2022-07-28 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
A pin it is then. All the more reason to not get your asses handed to you by the Nightman, huh?
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 12-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2022-07-28 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll do our best to avoid that.

Your very best, thank you. I'm fond of a few of you. Not Aquila though, you can use him as a distraction.

[ no he'd go big mad. there's a twitch to his lips that suggests he's joking though. ]
