[ week one: overflow ]

MINGLE LOG
The way you arrive might vary from person to person. Perhaps, you wake up on the beach, with your pet cat licking your face. Or you wake up tucked away in your bed, an item of yours nearby and a card on the bedside table reading your name and Welcome to the manor!

Either way, you end up in a modern mansion on a empty, lonely beach, with no explanation of why you're there or what's going on. In the driveway, there is a car with keys in the ignition but, unfortunately, no gas in the tank. In the living room, there is a touch screen television featuring a variety of profiles featuring you and the many other lost souls trapped in this mansion alongside with you.

There is also a camera crew. A camera crew? Really? But following the characters along are blank faced mannequins in a variety of colors, dressed in all black, operating cameras to film them. If you try and talk to the crew, they say nothing (as they have no mouth or eyes or... anything) and just continue to film them. Trying to touch them results in the mannequin falling over and going immobile, only to be replaced by a new one that appears from... somewhere? Weird.

The kitchen is fully stocked. There are spare clothes in the closets. There's even a few video game systems with games in the living room as well. There are books to read in the library. There's writing and drawing materials in the office. There's things to do. Just... why? To what end? What's going on here?

For those intrepid folks who decide to walk as far as they can away from the manor and the beach will find themselves blinking at one point and suddenly being back in the front yard of the manor. Huh. Strange.

Answers don't seem to be coming anytime soon. You might as well just... settle in?

[ he does not care for this shrieking pink... Truly not, because he's quick to even cover his ears. ]

Are such dramatics truly necessary?

[ roathe you threw your fucking knife tail into the table shut up ]

This was only so there would be no confusion!

Then I shall put it simply, should you only stop crowing! Heavily armed as I am by circumstance, I do not wish to be scapegoated for another's crimes. That is the full consideration.

[ why do people keep asking him if it hurts??? wtf is empathy??? ]

It is fine now. The burn has all but ceased.

[ sorry his brain is so small, it takes him a full ten seconds to hear what's been said and then another ten to process it. he's still sniffling and scared under the table, but he's not straight up screaming anymore. ]

I...I guess that makes sense. I think.

[ good enough. ]

Okay....p-please don't do that again. [ the knife throwing or the tail cutting?? ] It'd be bad if you got hurt even more.
