11/15 : a family meeting

who: everyone
what: an info-sharing meeting
when: november 15th, so as to allow any potential late players to join in
where: show tunez stadium
warnings: ???

( it's a particularly ordinary morning when the mass text goes out: )

Please meet up at Show-Tunez Stadium at four pm. I believe it's about time we talk about some of the things we've learned, as well as catch everyone up. Thank you.

( and come that time, mafuyu sits not in her school uniform but... honestly, she's repurposed the gray variant of the dreaming ribbon jammies set she received into daytime wear. ribbon and all. she's sitting in the center of the stage with a notebook and pencil in hand, and there's a cluster of water bottles nearby- she didn't think that most of the food would be too good as meeting food.

as more people come to the stage, she inhales. )

Let's begin.

[ Kanade basically almost half lives in here, as she does her music in the stadium so she's pretty much already here even before the aforementioned time, staying real close to Mafuyu - she's been extremely concerned over her ever since last month's disappearance and basically attaches herself to the other girl.

People paying attention will see that as she's not clinging to Mafuyu that she's standing near her own synthesizer, using it like a table to take notes.

When she speaks up, it's loud enough for everyone to hear, but still soft. ]


I can at least confirm a lot of what Mafuyu said in relation to me. I was actually a little curious about what everyone else found in their cabins, since it seems that they're...

[ She's quiet. She can feel something unsettling in the pit of her stomach. Of course, Kanade will try to continue; if Mafuyu can be strong enough, then she, as the group leader of Niigo (not that she feels like it right now) can, too- ]

Comparing both mine and Mafuyu's. They almost seem to be... intentionally targeting us, but... I want to be sure that we're right, first.

[The note about the letter is what's more interesting to Noah, and he instinctively reaches to his deck to pull out some cards.]

I didn't find anything weird in my cabin like you did, but my tarot cards are different from what they were originally. My cards are all celestial themed, you know? Like, Scorpio has a picture of the constellation on it. [He holds that particular card out to be inspected by anyone who wants to inspect it.] But Columba, Aquarius, Cetus, and Pavo are missing their constellations.

[He holds those cards out for everyone to see:

- COLUMBA depicts a rook tugging a worm from the ground with its beak, oblivious to the hungry cat that stalks forth from the shadows in the background
- AQUARIUS depicts a dove, flying above the ocean as her feathers cascade down to float upon the waves
- CETUS depicts a raven's skull, blood dripping from the eye-sockets to form a large crimson puddle in the shape of a whale
- PAVO shows an image of the Hi-RiZe against a blue, midday sky.]


Pavo in particular concerns me. The others are... upsetting, I guess, but not... as bad. Maybe. Kinda.

It's... uh.

It's probably the most unpleasant card you can pull in a reading. [Noah's expression darkens.] When upright, it represents upheaval, unavoidable change, trauma, disaster, loss, tragedy... et cetera. Reversed, it signifies that someone is trying to avoid all of that — that they know it's coming but regardless of their actions, it will happen anyway, and usually worse than it would if one were to let Fate take its course.

[Noah waits until Mafuyu's discussion finishes to bring up his points. None of them are written down, so hopefully Mafuyu is prepared to take notes for him because uhhh—]

Couple things.

One, I died. Surprise surprise. [A comment he makes sarcastically, even if he sounds... depressed about it, while trying to force his usual cheer.] Good news: We come back if we die. Bad news: We come back if we die. I don't know how or why, though. I normally come back if I die — it's a long story — but the device that brings me back malfunctioned on the second go-around. I woke up in my cabin the next day.

...

So that was weird. Anyway! [Quick, dissociate—] Second thing... well. Second to fourth things...

Corax said that the thing in charge of the park doesn't like the night sky. I showed him my magic, and he said to keep it indoors. [Noah has not been doing that.] Then, he said that the thing in charge has a couple names — he couldn't tell me specifically what. "The Park Owner" or "The Proprietor" were apparently what it was called with the... last people that were here. Corax calls it "Big Boss Upstairs", Zenaida calls it "Boss".

He said that the "previous lot" are still here... in sort of uncertain terms, I guess. That I haven't looked hard enough because I didn't see anyone who looked like us. When I asked if they were the Masks, he was silent long enough to make me think that was true. Then, he told me that looking into the implication wouldn't be safe. Then...

Corax said if I looked into it, if I was lucky, I'd end up going missing. If I was unlucky, I'd be "favoured". And at that, he tapped his skull. Which... makes me think Corax was favoured, you know? And maybe that's not the outcome he wants for the rest of us.

I guess that's the second through sixth things, but that's beside the point.

You died?

[ Kanade sounds expaserated, or at least, as much as she honestly can given her soft speaking voice.

Sorry, she's too much in shock to deal with the rest of this, give her a moment, maybe two- ]

[personal profile] starsmoothie 2022-11-05 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? Oh, yeah, I drowned in the lake!

[NOAH PLEASE THIS IS NOT SOMETHING TO SOUND ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT—]

Twice, technically!

That's...

[ Kanade trails off, looking a little pale. ]

That's not good. Please don't do that again.

Good luck! Those monsters roaming around are troublesome enough as it is, you know? I can't imagine fighting the actual boss guy.

kanade's findings

[personal profile] songsearching 2022-11-06 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kanade's awful at public speaking.

Her voice isn't loud and while she can project her voice in a song, when it comes to conversational things, that isn't the case. While she's sticking close to Mafuyu, she's also right behind her synthesizer that she'd regained.

It's only when it goes back to being quiet that she tries to bring back people's attention with some music - it's enough to fill the silence but not so noisy that it overwhelms her voice. ]


... Hello. Mafuyu already introduced me a little, but I might as well reintroduce myself. My name is Yoisaki Kanade, the composer for Nightcord at 25:00.

Mafuyu already mentioned what she found in her cabin, so I'll... [ She pauses, feeling herself hesitate, but presses forward. ] The floor was covered in pawprints of what seemed to be a small dog of sorts. And there was also an IV bag with the words "YOUR FAULT" written across it.

As for other things... the other thing that's important is that... did anyone else go through the black mirror in the, ah... Houze of Reflection? When I went inside, it was like - going through another dimension.

[ Like the SEKAI. ]

I found a blank sheet of music with the words "Your Song" written on it - it was in the same handwriting as the IV bag.

Oh. And I guess there is one more thing. I just got this coin. [ She takes out a coin, from her jersey pocket, showing it off to everyone. ] I don't know what it's supposed to be used for, but... I have it now.
starsmoothie: (dorado)

[personal profile] starsmoothie 2022-11-07 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I went through a black mirror, too! [Noah, ever-eager to overshare, raises his hand like he's in class again.] When I did, I found... ah, it was a forest with these white flowers in it.

[His tone gets a bit more sombre. Those white flowers were Harque's favourite, after all.]

It was a full moon, and that's also where I found some pieces of Clamor — the sundial being the biggest one. [...] Clamor is my sword, for people who haven't met him yet.

no real findings but some observations and questions (?)

[personal profile] arsenist 2022-12-13 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Akira has been quiet in the middle of his time paradox as he listens to the experiences of others, unable to help a noise every once in a while when something leaves even him surprised or unsettled; not much shakes him in general, even the strangeness in his own life, but some of these things are pretty concerning and upsetting. All of it gets carefully absorbed and filed away, creating a bigger picture of just what kind of situation they're trapped in.

It isn't a good one. Not even with Arsène at his apparent disposal.

Not having his glasses honestly makes him want to talk in front of everyone just a little bit less, but the lack of them is also why he has reason to speak up at all. He waits for a lull in the more important topics, and then he'll softly clear his throat and speak up.]


I haven't been here as long, so I don't really have much in the way of useful information, but... I was wondering if anyone got a good glimpse of the creature in the lake? Or noticed any objects coming out of the lake covered in blood?

[As he speaks up, he grabs the tooth that's been resting in his pocket. Does he forget that it's in there and nick himself on it when he's fiddling with his hands?

...

Don't worry about that part!]


After I'd been in the park for a few hours, I found my glasses I dropped in the water on the ground, but bloody and with this tooth lodged into the frame.

[personal profile] songsearching 2022-12-13 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't, myself [ as of this point in time ] although can you... see without your glasses?

[ Might as well ask. ]

[He thinks about lying for all of two seconds before letting out a breath, sheepishly fiddling with the hair in front of his eyes.]

...No, they're just for show. [He does kind of need them in one way, but saying that could invite questions that would leave him feeling exposed.] I wish I still had them, but I'll get by without them.

Me! I got a great look at it!

[No sir you did not—]

It dragged me under the water and drowned me with its thousands of hands.

[personal profile] arsenist 2023-01-01 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Well. That's got him sitting up in alarm, alright.]

...You were being serious, then, about dying. [Not a lot shakes Akira, so it's a pretty big deal that he looks visibly shaken.] Did you wake up in the water with it as well?

[Ever so subtly, a shiver goes through him. If he hadn't been fast enough to swim, would Akira have also...]

[personal profile] arsenist 2023-01-01 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[That makes his eyebrows furrow, not much but enough to be visually noticeable. If they're gone, doesn't that mean...]

Does anybody else have access to the tanks? Maybe someone that could slip over to them and remove the fish during the night, for example.
