MINGLE LOG

We're back, everybody! Fresh week, fresh house, fresh murder. It is indeed a fresh house as when people wake on Monday morning they'll see that — everything is fixed! The windows, the table, whatever property damage that was inflicted last week is all cleaned up and reset. There is no SOS on the roof anymore. None of that. Anyone who stayed up all night on Sunday will have seen the mannequins diligently cleaning and repairing the house during the course of the night, finished by dawn. Yay!

They've also opened a new room in the house. A cleaning room — there is a washing machine, dryer, and various cleaning supplies in the room. Mops and brooms and dustpans and swiffers and all sorts of things! There's even a basket for collecting dirty laundry too.

And then in the morning, they bring in a few things to note, dumping it all in the living room.

• A assortment of feminine clothing — dresses, skirts, blouses, etc
• Included in that pile of clothing are twenty-five sailor uniforms of various sizes
• Make up! Quite a bit — enough to last the rest of the time
• So many packs of underwear. You had underwear last week but like, this is better
• A tablet with Candy Crush and Infinity Nikki on it. There is nothing else accessible on it. There's a sticky note on the cover that says FOR ECHINACEA
• A gun with one bullet is on the coffee table
• A spear is laid across the coffee table as well

That said, it doesn't seem like the food restocked. Huh...

[Even Kalim is like 99% sure PB is going to say no and probably specifically encourage the mafia to start poisoning people, but he doesn't want Tamon to feel bad about trying so he'll let him write it down]

Not really! I'm still in school and my dad's not that old, so I haven't had to learn too much yet. Mostly it's just a lot of fun! I get to meet all kinds of people and show off my culture, so it's pretty great.

[costars]

[ kalim you are so cute ]

Oh...that does sound really fun....

[ actually the thought of socializing with a bunch of strangers and parade himself around makes him feel queasy, but kalim seems to enjoy it and that's what matters. ]

But aren't you worried about what happens when you do finally have to take over?

[asimilate]

[Tamon and Idia would truly be besties

He leans back, tilting his head thoughtfully.]

Well, I do want to make sure I do a good job. It'd be pretty bad if I let the family down because I didn't know what I was doing. [Despite his everything, he does have at least a tiny bit of responsibility] But that's why I like being housewarden for my dorm! It's good practice. Though, I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing for that either, haha! But it's okay, I've got Jamil to bail me out.

[HAKUNA MATATA OR WHATEVER THEY SAID IN ALADDIN (no)]

[costars]

[ kalim.....well that's fine, he's doing his best and that's what matters. ]

Housewarden? So like you're the leader? [ WOW. O_O ] That's really impressive! And it's really nice that you have someone to help you out too.

[ thinks about this ]

Is Jamil your assistant?

[asimilate]

It is, yeah! I was pretty surprised to be picked, but it's been fun.

[It was nepotism but he doesn't know that]

He's my retainer, yeah! [What's the difference between an attendant and a retainer... I don't know. Uses them interchangeably because Kalim probably doesn't know either.] His family's served mine for ages, so we practically grew up together. You'll never find a more dependable guy.

[costars]

[ imagine a life where you and your friend grow up together......couldn't be him. ]

Does that mean he's your best friend too?

[asimilate]

Yep! He definitely is. [pauses and winces a little] Oh, but, um... he'd probably want me to say that a lot of what he does for me is because I'm his boss. But! He's still my best friend.

[costars]

[ best friend but ALSO retainer......relationships are so complicated. it makes him think of his own relationships back home. ]

You can be his best friend and boss, right? [ ... ] Or is that not allowed?

[asimilate]

Yeah, of course! Why wouldn't it be allowed?

[costars]

[ he pokes his fingers together ]

Well....I had someone tell me before that they couldn't be my friend and my fan at the same time. So I was wondering if it was the same kind of situation.

[asimilate]

[He laughs, at that]

That's so silly. Vil wouldn't have any friends at all if people thought like that!

[DOES VIL HAVE FRIENDS ACTUALLY... well Kalim is his friend so sure yeah it counts]

Maybe they're just shy? So you should encourage them next time.

[costars]

You think so....?

[ maybe he'll give it a try then....... ]

Is this Vil also an idol?

[asimilate]

Maybe? I'm not really sure what that is. [IT'S ALL ENTERTAINMENT TO HIM] But he's a huge superstar! He can act and sing and all kinds of stuff. We were in the Song and Dance Championship together just recently.

[costars]

[ whoa..... *__* ]

He sounds really incredible...though he must be really busy if he's that famous. How does he manage all of it?
