[it is the morning of the 17th when the usual morning announcement is replaced with the sort of tentative, nervous tone that Friday takes on immediately before something insane happens.]
Good morning, passengers! It's, um... Well, I sure hope everyone had an interesting time on their shore excursion! The Captain sure did! In fact, he had such a good time, he's asked me to inform you all that, tonight, he's going to be hosting his usual captain's formal in the main dining room, but with a twist! This time, it's going to be a, um... victory party! For Natsuno! Because he won! [small laugh] And also to celebrate the opening of a new shop on the Promenade! Gosh, and that really is something to celebrate; I haven't seen that happen since he--
[LOUD STATIC NOISES]
-- Yes, well! The dress code will be cruise formal; everyone can find a new set of clothes in their cabin to celebrate the occasion! I-- Oh, right, we'll see you all tonight! 8PM sharp!
[the connection cuts off. today, for the first time that anyone can remember, Friday can't be found in the atrium. or any other room. smoke 'em if you got 'em.
at 8PM sharp, the door to the dining room swings open. it is mostly empty: the only tables left are a dozen or so under the main chandelier. there are name cards at each table setting, written in Friday's neat script; the seatings seem mostly random, except for everyone who was on the island, who will find themselves at a table with their killer and/or victim(s). except Natsuno, of course, whose name is displayed proudly at the head table, next to an unnamed place. once they are inside, all of them find themselves under the same sort of compulsion that they felt during the muster drill, and their legs will stop working until they have gone to their assigned seats.
Friday enters the room first, dressed up nicely, but with hunched shoulders and her hands clasped firmly in front of her. the door shuts behind her. she says nothing, and acknowledges no one, not even Natsuno, as she takes her spot behind the chair.
a few fashionable minutes pass. it starts as smoke pouring out from under the door, moving towards the table as it slowly solidifies into the form of... a rather normal-looking man. he sits, cross-legged, in the chair that Friday pulls out for him. he looks over the assembled crowd, visibly considering something... there is a flash of silver in the light, and the knife he'd had in his sleeve is across Friday's throat quicker than she can react, and she falls bonelessly to the ground, a spray of arterial blood across the table setting.]
There, perfect.
[he looks out at them again. and he smiles. the knife is placed back in his sleeve, and he holds his hands out, palms up.]
Well. Here's your chance. [he waves a hand lazily, and the compulsion keeping them seated fades like pins and needles.] Try not to embarrass yourselves.

You should, yes. He seems especially irate today. They say that "men tease you when they are interested in you", do they not? Make sure to reject him hard. ^^

...
Venti is coming over here. One moment.
[SCREAMS]

Before I forget: Mizuki so kindly informed me that he and Venti are dating.
:) 🔪

they're what now

[ La Pluma is over there with a look of fury that she is trying to hide because she's surrounded by people she murdered. But she looks like she's ready to just bite into her phone anyway. ]
no subject
I had a similar reaction.
[It's probably hard to see because he's trying to maintain a Nice Face for Venti and all but he's fuming. Every day we get closer to a TPK—]

Hypothetically.
(It is not hypothetical.)

["Come kill Venti." but he's not stupid enough to text that since he understands the phones save stuff.]
no subject
And not in the middle of the party.
I've already hampered some of my bridges.
I'm not keen on burning them entirely.
But I'll absolutely come insult the hell out of him, if you need an out.
no subject
So far, he's trying to squirrel an apology out of me for Lady Lumine's demise. I haven't been looking for her. I'm positive he'll try to borrow Mizuki from me if I leave this spot, though.
[Jokes on you buddy that's gonna be Clarke—]
Regardless, I'll tolerate this for now so that you don't have to.
no subject
I haven't been talking to my "victims" for such a reason, even if I already apologized.
Giving the Captain what he wants, etc. etc.
Seems sketch.
Maybe that's just me.
My hero.
But srsly, just wave if you need me.
