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?

[ WHAT IS A RATING, BOWTIE MAN?! ... is a question he will ask somebody else later. For now: ]

For what reason did you choose us, then? The... the chorus appears to find us somewhat objectionable, but there should be a rationale surely?

[ He means the live chat. ]

[murderhost]

[ mr f. sinthechat understands ]

Because you all have the capability to kill each other.

[akademise]

Just what precise metric was used to cast this judgement?

[ He has so many thoughts in his head but he is also tipsy and they are running into each other very unfortunately, so let's just... ask more questions. ]

[murderhost]

Your backstories, obviously!

[ This conversation is so fun! ]

[akademise]

[ This makes sense but he hates it. More's head is literally in his hands now - he feels like a migraine coming on. ]

All this power, and this is how you would choose to wield it? To the benefit of apathetic onlookers regarding the slaughter of children as merely a play to entertain them in idle hours?

[ There are BABIES here! Have you seen Tsukasa?? ]

[aspirings]

[real, have you seen him

he's baby]

[murderhost]

Yes.

[ Yes. ]

[akademise]

[ He is talking to a wall. ]

[costars]

[ from where he is hiding behind someone: ]

I'VE NEVER KILLED ANYTHING! I CAN'T EVEN KILL THE MOLD GROWING ON MY PLATES!!

[aspirings]

[ALSO BIG MOOD]

[costars]

[ tsukasa..........save him......................... ]

[aspirings]

[there's no saving either of them now, they can both just have a break down together over here in the corner]

[costars]

[ perfect, hopefully they're not in anyone's way ]

[dresscode]

[ wait hold on he's crawling over to join both of them ]

[incurse]

I'll do whatever I can to keep you both safe.

[ He sounds reassuring, resolute,

but also aren't they both older than him ]

[aspirings]

[yeah but they're sparkly normies.]

Y-Yuta....!!!

[There are TEARS in his eyes of EMOTION (and also fear).]

[asimilate]

[Oh my god no wonder Yves schedules his panic attacks]

Nobody's gonna kill anybody!

[costars]

[ immediately points to fumiko ]

She just asked if she could kill people! [ not what she said. ] WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

[asimilate]

[YANKS HIS ARM BACK DOWN as if Fumiko is an easily agitated wild animal]

We can talk to her! Nobody starts killing people after two days of being in a house together. There'd be no such thing as dorms if that happened!!

[costars]

[ SHE COULD BE.....YOU DON'T KNOW...................... ]

They do! They definitely do! It happens in movies all the time!!

[asimilate]

We're not in a movie, though?!

[dissimulative]

Use white vinegar or bleach.

[ sorry his way of coping is different ]

[costars]

[ wish we could all be like oria tbh ]

Yes sir! I'll definitely drink the bleach next time!

[ .....close enough. ]

[dissimulative]

Drinking bleach doesn't clean mold off your plates! You make the plate drink it!!

[ ok ]

[costars]

Okay, I'll make the plate drink it!

[ thank you for the important life lesson, stay tuned on whether or not he actually follows these instructions. ]
