mahouiku | ☆ WEEK FOUR ( MINGLE )

Magical Girl Raising Project

Monday-Sunday, Week 4

13 REMAIN

Today is quiet. Surprisingly so. There's no wake up call for the longest time, and everything seems to be almost scarily quiet. At least, until 12 PM, where the familiar voice of a female whom everyone will recognize as M chimes in.

"Hello, everybody. No need to come to the lobby or anything today for the announcement; this week will be a no murder week. The first reason is due to the Easter holiday. The second reason being because there's something wrong with Fav and this town. Meaning, I'll need you all to help me. You don't want to die because the town fell out of the sky, would you? Anyway, the task is pretty simple: find various colored eggs throughout the town. Easy. Certain eggs give you notes, some give you candy, but what I'm looking for is a body. There are eggs with body parts scattered all over. The eggs are small, but they can contain items that are bigger than itself. If you collect the body parts and reassemble them, this town will be safe. For the time being. If you do succeed, the lobby will become a ballroom on Easter Sunday, and I will provide proper clothes, music, and food for you all. Oh, and I fixed Zack's mess, in the dollhouse. That is all. And don't bother trying to answer back. I won't respond."

Of course, after her words are said and done, everyone who is alive will notice the slight static in some of the buildings, almost unstable. Sometimes you'll even find your hand going through things, occasionally. Even more so if you're in your magical form. Also, to note: apparently the network is down, even though transforming works just fine.

This is the mingle post for week four, which covers Monday (4/10) to Sunday (4/16). This week is a breather week, as Sunday is Easter.

[ You know, she was halfway joking when she said this 'can only move snacks' thing, but that's........ ah. Well. ]

Other, huh....?

[ She'll join the writing party:

Is the 'other' person one of the people whose names we found mentioned around town? yes/no ]

Um... Dahlia Didn't write Chiaki or Tamamo's names on there, so it could be one of them too.

A-ah... I thought it took time for people to become ghosts because those letters don't show up until a week later. But you're right, that's no reason to leave them at all, Miss Recette.

[She'll add "Tamamo" and "Chiaki" to her original piece of paper... and then also "Sorry."]

[A third snack falls on Yes.]

Edited (Sorry about that, missed a question ) 2017-04-13 19:51 (UTC)

[oh my god]

Eliza-chan, are you okay? Is there anything we can do to help you guys?

[A crunchier snack floats in the air and lands on the notebook.]

[... Is there significance to the snack being crunchier than the previous one.]

Is there something we need to do with the notebook?

I think that might be too difficult for Miss Eliza and the other person to try and answer with snacks, Miss Eruna....

[WHERE IS A OUIJA BOARD WHEN YOU NEED ONE.]

We should try to think of yes/no questions, if we can to make it simpler. Or....

[She'll write out all the letters of the English alphabet on a new piece of paper, along with the word "space."]

Maybe this will help?

Oh... yeah, I guess that would be better. Thanks Dahli-san.

[... Yes, that's your nickname, she's decided on this now. The only reason it's not "Dahli-chan" is that you might not like that, so we're going with "san" to be safe.]

Okayos... so they are someone mentioned. Neato.

[Recette picks up the pencil and writes
Can you pretty please use what Dahlia wrote out to spell your name?]

[it is a massive improvement from "Dollie-chan" which is what B used to call her, so actually she'll take it no questions asked.]

It wasn't a problem at all, Miss Eruna, I just hope it helps.

[...which it might not. Because it is a freaking snack ouija board.]

[The snack rolls onto several letters. First H, then A, then J... so on and so forth until it spells:

Hajime Hinata.]

[.... Ooookay, not what Dahlia was expecting from all this, and part of her finds this maybe a little too convenient considering they were just talking about him, but while he's allegedly here (???)

She'll pick up his notebook from the item table and write:]

Were you able to end the game? Yes/No

[The words spell out murdered instead of giving Dahlia a yes or no answer.]

Oh. I'm so sorry about that. I mean... gosh.

[Recette writes down Dahlia found your notebook. Is there important stuff in it?

P.S. Why the Hangman?

]

[There's a pause. The snack bounces from letter to letter, w h a t

then y e s.]

["What do you mean what' is on the tip of Dahlia's tongue here, but she'll masterfully suppress that in favor of asking something slightly more productive. But the implication that Hajime doesn't know that his room got altered -- is that supposed to mean these rooms were changed by M after they died? Or is this just not Hinata at all? Hrm.

She writes:]

When I entered your room, it was set up in such a way that when a crystal was touched, podiums and a screen appeared from the floor and ceilings... and you had to use a laser pointer to play hangman. Was that not something you put in place to safeguard your notebook?

About the notebook itself, you talked about speaking to someone, but I couldn't make out your handwriting there. Who was it and what was it that you learned about despair?

[There's a moment where the snack stays still. It lifts, then sets back down. Finally when it seems like nothing will happen it moves from letter to letter.

'This game is more than just the players and the mastermind. Each game has more than those two roles.

Our rooms changing is news to me. I'll pass it to the others.']

[Right, okay that latter part almost makes sense. She can't really imagine how you'd get one of those rooms to do what Hinata's room was doing.]

When you say "Others," is that what you mean by people who aren't players and the mastermind? Or something else?

[Unwritten: and do you think it would kill you (more?) to be less vague and more specific. :|]

[Follow the bouncing snack as it hits each letter in turn to spell out more words.

'Former players. The executed and the victims of previous games of over a thousand years. Only ten left.']

Edited 2017-04-15 05:43 (UTC)

Is that including the victims from this round?

[No. Ten from previous games.]

[Ah yes, that'd make more sense.]

Why are there so few left? ...And if you can reveal that information, who are they?

[The snack pauses, shakes as if in warning at something then bounces from letter to letter.

I'm sorry I can't reveal names. It's against the rules. We're being drained of mana. When a ghost runs out they cease to exist.]

[Huh.]

Is there a reason then, that you were able to more directly interact with us this week? Your presence wasn't as prominent in the ealie weeks....

Also I ought to have asked sooner, but is there an easier method for you to communicate than this?

[Something that's less tedious that tapping a snack on letters. ....In her defense, she really didn't think Hinata was going to deal with this for as long as he has....]
