WEEK 1.

[trustharder]

WEEK 1 As much as this sounds like a bad joke all around, it looks like one thing is being played completely straight: you're not going anywhere. After the Kingmaker has answered your questions (or, well, perhaps it's more accurate to say he didn't answer them, at least as far as most of those little Q&A sessions went), you'll be left up to your own devices – feel free to continue exploring and getting to know your fellow Survivors for the next several days. Should you want to eat something you're free to use the kitchen before 10PM, but after that the doors will be locked and no amount of fussing with the locks or trying to break them down will get them to budge. And no, the robot cannot punch them in for you. Notably, though, starting bright and early on Monday morning (or maybe just early, since there aren't any windows) you'll be treated to the most unholy damn noise – it's very definitely an electric siren of some sort, probably some kind of klaxon, blaring out over the PA system. It only blasts once, but really, for something that loud, once is enough. This will happen every morning at 7AM and again in the evenings at 10PM. You'll be able to hear it no matter what room you're in. There isn't any punishment for sleeping through it, but you don't want to waste the day in bed, now do you? (Unless you were out exploring all last night. In which case, go back to bed, damn.) SURVIVORS REMAINING: 27

MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

WEDNESDAY DAY - NIGHT

[sleepingkogoro]

[You may have noticed Mouri hasn't been around for most of the day. In fact, on the door of his bedroom, a note can be found.

'ASLEEP. STAY OUT, EIDE-SAN. I NEED TO BE WELL RESTED FOR TONIGHT'

Yeah, that special mention was needed. The last he needs right now is somebody to wake him up by dragging him from the ankles, thank you.

At 8:00 PM Mouri finally gets out of his room and goes to the kitchen, always clutching a good amount of grounded coffee to prepare. He spends the next two hours making as much coffee as he can and filling containers with it, piling them aside.

At 10:00 PM he is in his decided spot. He has brought a chair and positioned it in the little hallway that leads to the storage (near the bedrooms) so he has a clear view of the elevator. He found a spot where anybody coming from the elevator would be unable to see him, much to his satisfaction.

His plan: attempt to catch the Kingmaker in action when he gets to this place to leave coins around. Mouri is sure that is how he does it, by coming from the elevator and going to the bedrooms to put coins around.

If you are having a late stroll around the shelter - and you see well enough in the dark because he's trying to stay in the shadows - you may see him, with a weird bird-shaped water pipe in his mouth, a dozen containers of coffee with him, a candle wrapped so it gives as little light as possible and a few books. You are welcome to talk to him as long as you are moderately silent and are ready to be quiet once the Kingmaker arrives]

nighttime

[ratingspoint]

[...Mettaton is one of those that doesn't need to sleep, and his vision is pretty good in the dark, given...robot and all. He's also not really used to people being out at night; he's not altogether sure what he thinks of this particular person being out here, but you know what, at least he's less...brutally angry in his direction? He doesn't stay angry for very long, and he doesn't really hate people either, so...]

...Darling, what are you doing?

[I mean, whatever Mouri's doing, he's apparently doing it for the long haul tonight, uh.]

Re: nighttime

[sleepingkogoro]

[Oh. It's the robot who may or may not be an accomplice. Most likely not, he decided that already. Mouri now thinks Mettaton may be just another victim, although he still doesn't trust the robot yet. However...maybe there will be no harm on telling the truth]

This is a stakeout. I'm going to catch the Kingmaker as soon as he arrives here.

[He is talking to you but he hasn't averted his eyes from the elevator doors]

[ratingspoint]

...You think he uses the elevator, of all things?

[Is...is that what he's taking away from this.]

[sleepingkogoro]

[Yes. That is Mouri's reasoning.

Maybe it is because damn it, Mettaton was the one to say it, but Mouri frowned. That sounded like an insult to his reasoning]

It is the only way in. Obviously he is going to have to use the elevator.

8 PM if that works?

[cherryblooded]

[Cherryblod is just fixing himself an evening snack when Mouri enters the kitchen.]

Good morning, detective. Sleep well?

Re: 8 PM if that works?

[sleepingkogoro]

Sleeping all day somehow is much harder than I thought it would be.

[Not a lie. He spent a good amount of the day trying to sleep more, without much success, but damn did he try. He didn't go outside because it is a really comfy bed, and sleeping or not, it is just so pleasant to be on it...]

[cherryblooded]

Always so appealing when you can't do it, but when you can...

[He sympathizes, really.]

[sleepingkogoro]

[Mouri groans whiningly. This is the suffering of a man who is taking the situation mildly seriously]

I really want to get some results tonight, I don't think I want to spend the night awake more than twice.

nighttime

[bloodisthicker]

[Tarrlok can figure out pretty easily what Mouri is trying to do when he sees him and is well aware that this attempt probably isn't going to work, but... Detective Mouri is trying.

Bless his heart.]

I'm really not sure what the chance is success here is, but I guess it's worth it for you to give it a shot in case he actually does use the elevator.

Re: nighttime

[sleepingkogoro]

Of course he will. It's the only way he can come to this place to leave the coins in the bedrooms. There's no other way in.

[Mouri sounds very confident about this. Seems like he is deadset on believing the elevator is truly the solution to the problem and that sooner or later they will catch the Kingmaker.

This is truly a man who sticks onto his theories until it's undeniably clear he is wrong]

[bloodisthicker]

...you do know that someone with the resources and the sort of sick mind to pull this off would probably be using secret passages rather than the elevator, right?

[sleepingkogoro]

...secret passages?

[Mouri's dumbfounded expression shows the idea never crossed his mind]

night time.......

[amygdalae]

[Just because he's been thrown into (another) shitty situation doesn't mean that his sleeping habits are going to change. He's been travelling to and fro between his room and the library, and of course there's no way he can really not see Mouri and his... ah, stakeout.

That certainly explains why he hadn't seen the other throughout the whole day.]

Ah--good evening, I suppose.

Re: night time.......

[sleepingkogoro]

You are still awake, huh.

[What is up with all these people around during night time? Mouri is a tad annoyed with that. How is the Kingmaker supposed to come when there's somebody strolling around?

[amygdalae]

I'm used to late hours.

[Being stuck in here ain't gonna change that.

Bruce makes his way over to Mouri proper, settling down besides him.]

Do you really think you can catch the Kingmaker like this?

[sleepingkogoro]

Of course I do! Sooner or later he will have to pass through here towards the bedrooms to go leave coins. It may not even be tonight, but that is no problem, trying in some other night is an option too.

It's just matter of time before the Kingmaker appears!

[He truly believes it all, after all, that is the conclusion his deductions led him to. Sure, it wasn't like he spent long thinking about it - it was literally his first thought about how the Kingmaker could come - but he's rather sure about it]

nighttime

[captainobnoxious]

[Rude, dilly-dally. She'd at least checked if he was alive this morning.

That said, Sigrun's a surprisingly quiet walker when she walks through the vault, and the softest flicker of the candle catches her eye and puts her on a higher alert. She knows Mettaton's the up and about person and there's probably others as well, but it's just that old habits die hard as she sneaks up behind Mouri

and speaks with her naturally loud voice.]

Can't sleep either?

[It's still tough for her.]

Re: nighttime

[sleepingkogoro]

[Mouri is alert too. It's night, after all, and anyone knows bad stuff can happen at night. It may be true he is doing a stakeout but that is no reason to lower his guard.

He doesn't hear Sigrun coming, though. She is quite good at sneaking. He is standing there, still biting that ridiculous water pipe, she she says that with her naturally loud voice]

Yaaha!

[It was more of an instinctive reaction more than anything else, spurred from the sudden loudness. The words themselves don't even register, all Mouri knows is that he turned around with impressive speed.

Sigrun may not even be able to finish the sentence before she Mouri attempts to grab her torso or her lapels or her sleeves or any piece of loose fabric she may have. His intention is to quickly execute his specialty, the Ippon Seionage move, to move Sigrun over his shoulder and neck and daze her, at the very least. At least he isn't going to outright slam her against the floor.

That is, if he is successful. If he isn't able to grab her then nothing happens. Your move, Sigrun]

[captainobnoxious]

[It's not a fighting style she's be familiar with, but for someone of military experience being caught by surprise is not something that's very easy. It's reflexive that she draws into herself and steps away so he catches nothing but air, though in return she's striking out to grab one of his arms and twist him around to pin him like that if she can.

Either way though, she's seemingly in good spirits with her words.]

Not bad, dilly-dally. What was that?

[sleepingkogoro]

[No way! If there was something he didn't expect was for whoever was there to manage to avoid him. When that person grabs his arm he tenses and freezes, trying to stop any further movements. He knew very well what this person was attempting. Overall it was a stalemate.

It took a couple seconds for him to realize who it was, as well as what she was asking]

Eide-san, not you again!

[He doesn't relax, though. He hasn't found out her intentions. 'Likes: killing things', are you going to prove he had a reason to suspect you, dear?

Still, maybe answering is not so bad, at least that should buy him some time]

It is judo. Never heard of it?

Night time

[uro_cyon]

[ Aiden like all humans, needs sleep. But like hell if he keeps normal hours, as he much prefers to sleep in small spurts. He's spent the time thus far investigating and analyzing what he can; he spots Mouri quick enough, as he's no stranger to working in limited light.]

That's a lot of gear for a stakeout. [ Too much in his opinion, makes him too easy to spot.]

Re: Night time

[sleepingkogoro]

Is it? I thought it was mild.

[Yep, a dozen coffee containers, a freaking candle lit on and blowing a pipe to make bird noises at 2 AM is what Mouri is defining as mild.

He is not experienced with stakeouts, if you haven't guessed yet, Aiden!

[uro_cyon]

And what do you normally bring? [ Because really?????]

[sleepingkogoro]

A car.

[Because the last stakeout he did was years ago, when he was still in the force, with a partner and all]

I don't do many stakeouts. This is the first in a long time.
