WEEK TWO - MINGLE

SURVIVORS: 18

Has it really been only a week since you found yourself in this place? But just like that, the days have come and gone, and five of your number have been lost. The space seems a little larger, less claustrophobic. By mid-afternoon on Sunday, after the execution, guests will also realise that the hotel is once again pristine thanks to the work of the ever-present faceless and nameless staff members, and the elevators are all in working order again.

Something is peculiar about your rooms, though -- something you may notice after you come back from the execution. Your desks now have a different Polaroid camera on them. This time, each resident gets one with a total of 10 film each. Film for these cameras in particular can be refilled in the gift shop. For Kurama in particular, the camera is larger and built so that he's able to (somewhat) see through the lenses and hit a button with his nose to take the photo. What differentiates these cameras from the ones you received last week is for you to find out.

At precisely 8AM on Monday morning, the fog recedes slightly, allowing just the slightest hint of sunlight to peek through. There is a gentle sea breeze, comfortable weather in every feasible way.

Rise and shine, everyone, it's time to make the day yours, just like the rest of the week. Better enjoy it while it lasts.

cw hallucinations

[unprincelike]

[ Yuki manages to (somehow) make peace with the hallucinations at first. He can write them off without focusing on them too much.

However, when he makes his way into the gift shop in the morning to grab some snacks, he finds something he never expected to—Tohru, laying lifeless on the floor. He freezes in place. All he can hear is her kind voice, telling him that it's his fault that this happened to her, that everyone hates him, that of course she never really accepted him for who he is— ]

No...

[ He has to get out of here, but his feet don't move.

Later in the early afternoon, Yuki decides to stay in the garden for some peace of mind. There are a lot of flowers piled in his lap as he winds them together the way Arthur showed him a few days ago. If he can stay focused, maybe he'll stop seeing such horrible things... ]

[ feel free to wildcard me as well! yuki can be found just about anywhere ]

Garden

[attritional]

[ These hallucinations are taking a toll on everyone, but Iria has been worried about Yuki for a while. As expected, she finds him in the garden. ]

That's quite a lot of flowers you picked. What are you planning on doing with them?

[unprincelike]

Arthur taught me how to weave them together.

[ He looks up at her, managing a small and very tenuous smile. ]

Should I make you a crown?

[attritional]

If you insist.

[ Iria would usually say no, but she understands that Yuki needs a distraction right now. ]

I suppose the hotel won't be mad at you.

[ She laughs a little. ]

[unprincelike]

It wasn't mad at me when I stole flowers for each of us.

[ His smile grows just a little brighter. ]

I think blue and purple would look nice on you.

[ Soft colors... he thinks that suits her. Yuki starts pulling the blue and purple flowers out of his little pile. ]

gift shop

[kinakos]

[ She spots Yuki during one of her brief stops to the gift shop. She's very distracted and very much not okay, but most people aren't holding up so well today, so she decides to stop sulking and lend a helping hand to someone who's given one to her so many times. ]

Yuki-san.

[ She doesn't reach out to touch him, because she doesn't want to startle him. She just stands next to him and looks at him with concern. ]

Yuki-san...it's not real. I promise.

[unprincelike]

[ It's not real... it's not real...

Yuki has to repeat that to himself a few times, and if he says it aloud? Well, he knows Tsumugi wouldn't judge him for that. ]

You're... you're right, Tsumugi-san.

[ His shoulders slump slightly. ]

It's not real.

[kinakos]

[ Ah... She'll go ahead and finally pat his shoulder, then. It seems to be okay to do so now. ]

It isn't. Please don't lose yourself to it.

[unprincelike]

[ He relaxes, but only slightly. ]

Tsumugi-san... I'm sorry you had to see me like that. I—

[ Yuki cuts himself off, shaking his head. He doesn't need to unload his problems onto her. ]

gift shop;

[granvelle]

Sir Sohma…?

[He sees the way Yuki freezes, looking at something Arthur cannot see. With the way things have gotten worse and worse each day, he can only imagine the horrible things he could be seeing here.

He approaches him cautiously, brows knit together.]

[unprincelike]

[ He barely registers Arthur's presence, his gaze still fixated on Tohru in front of him. ]

It's Honda-san... It's my fault.

[granvelle]

You know that's not true, Sir Sohma.

[Which is easier to say when it's not his vision laying on the ground. He ignores the whispers, the voices murmuring about how he should have died all those years ago, to focus on Yuki.]

It's just a trick.

[unprincelike]

[ Arthur's words manage to get through to him and Yuki finally looks away from the scene only he can see. ]

...You're right. Thank you, Arthur.

[ He lets out a long, shaky breath. ]

It's a trick.

garden

[catarou]

[ Gentaro is here, too, in the garden. Perhaps it'll provide him some peace, but then again... the hallucinations are getting worse. At this point, he isn't quite sure what to do, aside from the obvious. But that isn't an option he wants to think about.

The point is--Gentaro is here, with a book, and as he spots Yuki, he goes right over. ]

May I join you?

[unprincelike]

Of course.

[ Yuki manages to offer him a small smile as he scoots over a little so Gentaro has enough room. ]

What are you reading?

[catarou]

[ Gentaro sits, and once he's comfortable, he shows Yuki the book: it's this. ]

Something a bit lighthearted. I am afraid I cannot stomach anything more serious, for the time being.

gift shop;

[catastrophecatalyst]

[ Xue Yang spots this and looks thoughtful.

Then he puts his fingers close to his mouth and just whistles loudly. ]

Hey! Come back down to earth before the next era.

[unprincelike]

[ That whistle startles him and just like that, the vision is gone. He turns to see where it came from, his eyebrows raising in surprise. ]

Xue Yang? How long have you been there?

[catastrophecatalyst]

[ He smiles a little at that and then places his hands behind his back, looking kind of thoughtful even if his answer comes quickly. ]

Not been here all that long, actually, just walked in~

Looks to me like you needed a distraction, didn't you?

garden

[accidentallich]

[There's a noticeable empty spot where the deadly nightshade should be, but that's probably fine.

Also, Gershom is here. He hesitates for a moment before sitting down beside Yuki.]

Are you making a flower crown?

[unprincelike]

I am. Or a wreath. I haven't decided.

[ Either way, he's weaving flowers together. ]

I need something to preoccupy myself with.

[accidentallich]

I know the feeling. Can I help?

[It's not really a two person job, but...]

wildcard

[attritional]

[ Sleepover thread sleepover thread

Iria has been making space in her room for the mugs that will inevitably be here. She left her room door open just a smidge, so that Yuki can come inside whenever he wants. When he does, he might find Iria staring at her bed a little too much. She doesn't hear his initial greeting either, if he gives one. ]

[unprincelike]

[ He does greet her as he pushes through the door, since his arms are full of random things he took from the gift shop—including several mugs. When he notices that she's staring at her bed, he furrows his brows. ]

Is everything alright?

[attritional]

[ She turns to look at Yuki like it's normal when he speaks again, slowly walking over to the bed and seemingly pushing something into the bed with a neutral expression, but it's nothing. Feeling the bed with her hand makes her snap out of it. ]

... It was just a hallucination. Come in. Do you need any help with those? You can dump them on the bed so that we can place them neatly on the floor.
