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?

Yes, Miss Mifune in the back.

[ hello ]

[stds]

Are we allowed to kill people even if we might not be part of this chosen group of killers?

[murderhost]

[ now that's a question ]

Yes.

[ Thumbs up! 👍 ]

[stds]

And how many people are in this group?

[murderhost]

Can't tell you that yet!

[stds]

Awww, why not? C'mon, please?

[murderhost]

Hahaha, nooooo. Not yet! No one's even died yet.

[aspirings]

[HELLO?]

Wh-wait a minute!! What are you saying?!

[stds]

It's just a question.

[aspirings]

But--but... why? Why would you ask that? The situation is already bad enough...!

[stds]

And it's not going to get better. Helps to know if we're allowed to defend ourselves.

[asimilate]

[FUMIKO NO!!!!]

[costars]

[ it's over. it's so over. ]

[crashout]

[ no this is such a fair question. ]

[combathatchet]

Why would you ask that?

[stds]

Because if we have a bunch of people assigned to kill us, it helps to know if self-defense is allowed.

[combathatchet]

[FROWNING]

I don’t have anything against self-defense, but can we not jump to the conclusion of all us agreeing to this so quickly?

[stds]

Well, whether we agree or not depends on those guys in the 'mafia' group, right?

[pharmahoudini]

They could be working together... Is that why we've got that sheep cliche going on?

[stds]

Hm, that's a good point. We should consider if they are going to work independently versus as a team.

[incurse]

Why would you even ask that?!

[ Well, obviously, because she would consider it, but - why?? ]

[stds]

Geez, can't I ask questions without getting jumped?

[incurse]

Not when it's a question about killing people!

[stds]

It's not like I want to kill anyone, but I also don't wanna be killed myself.

[voring]

[Absolutely losing it over this ROW OF REACTIONS HELLO.]
