—THE SECOND WEEK—

On this fine Monday morning, all facilities have been cleared of damages (the washing machine, if we need to be specific). It is almost like none of the wild events that transpired last week ever happened. For some of you, it's easier to remember — your rooms are emptier than before, after all. In the end, the only remnants of those gone are your memories of them.

There is something off starting this Monday... If you stare at a spot for too long, the space distorts or pieces of it shift out of place for a second, then it's gone in one wink. Maybe your eyes are playing tricks on you? Maybe you need to sleep...? You don't feel weary. You feel fine.

Again, this week, the seers encourage participation in spite of tragedies and oddities. It's at the park — a favorite place for the NPCs. For this week, there are no white tables and tea sets, but instead tables of gardening tools. Uniforms are provided, for there are hive boxes (they're also called brood boxes) around the park.

OUTSIDE 🐝F EDEN

(a gardening and beekeeping workshop)

There are many things you can plant from herbs to flowers, which characters may find they grow at a faster rate. For beekeeping, characters will be instructed on how to care for bees and harvest honey! Yes, if you were wondering, these are the same bees from last Wednesday.

Instructed by whom? Well, this is the kicker, you must befriend or subjugate a bee, then they will help you by pollinating your plants and giving you guidance with the hive boxes.

How to tame them? The NPCs have provided the bees' favorite flowers... But if that doesn't work, they also provide tiny cuffs to arrest them.

Some observers may stray as they very well please, but you can talk to them for whatever reason.

MINGLE SUMMARY

• Locations have been cleaned up! However, if you stare at a spot for too long, it gets weird and distorts. HUh.
• NPCs are hosting a Outside of Eden event, which is a gardening and beekeeping event. Plant flowers, grow greens, harvest honey, and care for bees! But... Yeah. You have to get a bee buddy first.
• NPCs may also be spoken to on the mingle or privately at the church.
• Powers are still in effect. Consider using what you have for fun when you find the chance.

IMPORTANT STUFF

• Mini-CYOAs are OPEN. When we reach our cap for Mini-CYOAs, the thread will be frozen. We highly encourage organizing so no two groups or more hit the same location.
• Confessional is still OPEN until Friday evening.
• Most importantly, murder proposals and pathing submissions are OPEN! They will close on Tuesday pst morning/est noon.

[Well.

At least it isn't Pony this time? Help.

Saki carefully enters the orchestral hall, sweatily looking around. What's up?]

[unbested]

Saki...?

[ She wasn't looking too good when Sebastian saw her last night, and... well. Neither was he, actually, but. He's a little concerned about her wandering off on her own, so he'll follow. ]

[adjourn]

[ No Pony this time.

The moment Saki enters the hall, she'll be able to see the very much obvious trail of red going in. Further on ahead, there will be some instruments knocked over on the stage but-- with a static flicker, they're upright again. Weird. ]

[emptied]

Ah— Debeste-san?

[She is... still not looking great, but she does try to offer a little smile of reassurance. Not that it lasts very long, between the trail of red and the glitching instruments.

She sucks in a shaky breath, following the trail.]

Are you sure you want to be here? I mean, at the source of this trail, we're probably going to find... [A corpse.]

[unbested]

[ He just gets the saddest look of despair seeing that blood trail... W H Y ]

Y-yeah, but it's—

[ Running over to catch up to her! ]

I mean, you shouldn't have to look at it either. I'm law enforcement, so... you know, I'm kind of used to seeing this kind of thing already.

[adjourn]

[ I'm. Well, since Sebastian is just RUNNING, he'll feel a sudden heavy weight against his foot as he just kicks something in his path. A glance shows to be some large chunk of... stone? With a strange particular marking on it.

As Saki approaches the stage, she'll actually find more stone fragments scattered on stage and piled around. ]

[emptied]

... Even if you feel that way, you're still only 17-years-old. You shouldn't be exposed to any of it.

[WHY IS THIS CHILD IN LAW ENFORCEMENT...

What do the stone fragments look like...? And does the trail of red continue onto the stage? She is not touching anything in case it makes it all disappear.]

[unbested]

I-it's fine! I'm already— ack!!

[ Ow?? He stumbles and looks back at what he tripped over. Can we see the marking now or will it just be conveniently glitchy until tomorrow? Anything else immediately obvious while he's looking behind him? ]

[adjourn]

[ The marking looks actually, pretty familiar, but Sebastian can't tell why... not at the moment. The mess mostly seems in front of them.

The trail of red does lead onto the stage, and the stone fragments look like, well.. could be part of a statue. Given Saki finds a piece that looks like a hand at her feet suddenly.

There are more stone pieces close by to her, one oddly in the shape of a head. The music continues its distorting and glitchy tunes. ]

[emptied]

[...

If someone got turned to stone and shattered, she's gonna lose her shit. What the fuck.

Without replying to Sebastian, she slowly approaches that head shaped piece of stone. Can she see its face?]

[unbested]

[ ...

WELL, thankfully, he is too normie to consider that the statue could actually be someone, sooooo if he keeps following the blood trail up onto the stage himself, is he going to find a, uh, not-stone body anywhere at the end of it, or.......... ]

[adjourn]

[ When the attention is drawn to the scattered head-shaped piece... they'll find the features very expertly done. Really, it's almost life-like. It's almost impossible not to know who face this belongs to.

And you know it, as the realization dawns on you, that Vicious is dead. The surroundings glitch out before once again... everything is back to normal. There is no disruption in the halls, no scattered stones and while the music regains some of its familiarity again.. there are a bit of hints where it sounds strange.

When you come across the bulletin again, you'll find it has changed once again. ]

[emptied]

[...

Oh.

Quickly, she looks at Sebastian.]

—Debeste-san...

[They gotta do another death announcement but AHHHHH YOUR ROOMMATE]

[unbested]

H-huh?

[ ...He's really not sure how to wrap his head around what they were just looking at. He stares for a few seconds at the floor where some of the pieces had been a moment ago, then looks up at Saki. ]

Was that really...?

[ WELP taking off running again to make sure Vicious isn't actually still back in their room or something, hahaha!!! ]
