—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.

[Sebastian is not here because he ran off to double check, but. Here's Saki, sweatily waving people down until most if not all of them are in the inn lobby.]

... We found a broken statue that looked identical to Vicious-san in the Orchestral Hall.

I think Debeste-san left to make sure, but... Everything disappeared after we found the statue's head. It's likely he's dead.

[why must this subject be what it is]

Ergh, another one...? [WHY] Do ya need water or anything, Saki-san?

[Touches her forehead...

After a moment:]

I need to sit down.

[JUST. Gonna find a spot to do just that, thank you.]

Ya know, that's fair.

[oki also looks like he wants to sit down and he didn't even find a dead person this week.]

[ Coming back downstairs a minute later... ]

...Yeah, he... wasn't in there.

[ He's so fucking tired. ]

[uggggggggh]

Ya need anything, Debeste? 'Sides for people to... not be dyin'...

N-no, I don't need anything. Thanks, though.

[ ... ]

...Well, um. Actually, I guess... would you guys mind if I stayed with you tonight? You know, just on the floor or whatever. I'll be really quiet.

[... oh, right. vicious was sebastian's roommate, wasn't he? oki manages a smile for him, trying to look reassuring.]

C'mon, what kinda hosts do ya think we are? We'll drag in a couch from the common area for you. Gautier-san and I aren't fussy about noise either.

[decides this for sylvain but sylvain's always been a cool roommate to him so?]

Really? [ he blinks; he'd figured inviting himself over was already going to be enough of an imposition, so this seems kind of crazy. ] I mean. You don't have to do all that, but... Thanks.

[ and thanks for being a bro about this, sylvain.

he wipes the corner of his eye. ]

...I'm really glad you're all still here.

[ he can't let himself think too hard tonight about the fact that someone in their group was responsible for all of this. ]

Gonna be honest, Gautier-san deserves to hafta do a bit of labour after he tried to get bees attracted t'me.

[yeah, thinking about that is... bad.]

Me too.
