STATE OF THE HOTEL
( STATE OF THE HOTEL. )
( OUT OF CHARACTER. )
Think of it as a state of the union, but for all things Hotel.
GENERAL
Well, that was a fun month, wasn't it? Now back to your regularly broadcasted casual psychological torment.
The fireplace is still smoking. Quite gratuitously at this point. Maybe don't sit too close, the logs keep popping. The ballroom door is still thrown wide, with all tables and chairs neatly stacked against the far walls. There's still a pad of paper and a few pens at the front desk, as well as a cup with cold coffee dregs in the bottom that no one can remember being put there, and a stack of envelopes and stamps.
Residents on the fourth floor may notice damp spots on the carpeted hallway outside their doors, almost as if the roof is leaking.
WHAT IS THAT FUCKING SOUND?
A high, tinny whistling will be heard throughout the hotel for the rest of this month. There's seemingly no originating point and no way to stop whatever it is that is making that sound from screeching. Enjoy digging at your ears and having your skin crawl.
DO YOU LIKE BLOOD AND GORE?
Because we do.
We need five volunteers to have their characters recieve something terrible on June 10th. Please sign up below.
WHAT ABOUT NORMAL PRESENTS?
Because we like those too.
We need five different volunteers to have their characters recieve something nice on June 13th. Please sign up below.
A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE ELSE.
Don't feel left out just because you didn't get anything from the above. On June 15th, a pile of foam pool noodles will show up in the lobby, enough for everyone to have one.
INVIDIA.latin for envy
Last month we kicked off the series of seven minievents that will span from May to November. The Seven Deadly Sins are often seen in Catholicism to describe the capitol vices that humanity doesn't seem to be able to rid itself of in one form or another. Within the Hotel, this little pocket of humanity won't have much of a choice as to rid themselves of the cardinal sins. See, there's just something in the air (conditioning system) that suddenly makes indulging in these vices all the more appealing.
And for the month of June that sin is Envy, which is categorized as by an insatiable desire, similar to jealousy in that they both feel discontent towards someone else's traits, status, abilities, or rewards. The difference is the envious also desire the entity and covet it. So, someone always seemed better than you? Excell in a field you failed? Just so awesome that you cannot physically stand their exisitence? Did they get something in their luggage or gift baskets that you really, really want even if you wouldn't normally? Well, time to take that for yourself. Effects can be mild (sideyes, snide comments, arguments), moderate (some light fingered theft), or severe (literally trying to steal everything in the hotel that isn't bolted to the ground). The degree of severity is up to player discretion.
Characters will feel particularly strong urges to glut themselves from June 20th - 27th.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Then on June 28th, everyone ought to keep an eye out on their IC inboxes; an important invitation will be on its way.
( OUT OF CHARACTER. )
JUST A FEW THINGS
— Applications are open for another two days! Go get yours in!
— After this application round, the Marvel Cinematic Universe cast will be at capacity, and no other characters from that universe will be accepted until further notice. Exceptions will be considered (primarily for MCU inspired television series) if potential appers approach the mod first.
— The CR/Plotting Meme will go up tomorrow as applications are processed and the intro log will be posted between the 4th and the 5th.
— If you've not already responded to the Activity Check, go do that now.
