CATFISH: KANESAN

[fullthottle]

CATFISH On Monday afternoon, Izuminokami's clamshell will ping! from wherever he has it. Should he pick it up to see what all the fuss is about, he will realize that his RULEBOOK app has updated to version 2.0. Opening the app will reveal that there has been an addendum to the rules... but one that seems meant exclusively for him. No other survivor will be able to see these additions. They read as such: 1. Each week, you will be given A TASK by your guides. 2. The specifics of this task will VARY FROM WEEK TO WEEK, and there's no guarantee that any two tasks will be the same. 3. You MUST COMPLETE THIS TASK BEFORE THE DAY OF THE TRIAL, regardless of what it entails. 4. You may PRIVATELY CONFIRM YOUR ROLE if asked, but you may not OFFER THE INFORMATION FREELY to others. A notification will arrive the moment he has finished reading through the update. Its contents are no less confusing. GOOD 🌞 MORNING, CATFISH! 🐟 💋 YOU'RE ON THE 🎣 HOOK TO SEA 🌊 🏖️ AND BE SEEN! 👀 👀 👀 BUT DON'T WORRY 😉😚 YOU WON'T BE A 🐠 FISH OUT OF WATER FOR 2️⃣ LONG 💦💧💧 TAKE A 🔥HOT🔥 PIC 📷 WITH YOUR BEST POUT 💋💋 BC WE'LL SEE U REEL 🎣 SOON ♥️👀♥️ Other things that are weird? The fact that the moment he opens a door and walk through it, he will find himself falling face first an entirely new location. Particularly, one that doesn't seem to fit into any part of the hotel, and absolutely not one that they meant to go through. As he regains his bearings and looks at his surroundings, he'll realize that the door he walked through is no longer there. It seems like he has only one choice, and that's to walk forward until he reaches his destination. It is there that he will find a familiar face...

You can consider it a raid, sure. Just try not to stab anything you shouldn't be, and I think you'll be fine.

[kanesan sounds experienced, he should be fine? chuuya raises his glass to him with a little grin.]

We'll make sure you get to where you need to be. Any questions, while you're here?

[namelessfighter]

I'll leave the stabbing for any enemies we come across. I'm not that eager to kill someone who doesn't deserve it.

[ it'll be fine, probably. so, he also raises his glass, as if to toast before taking a quick sip. ]

What happens, if I can't finish a task?

[doublesmall]

This time? Nothing. You just won't get anything out of it, and the room we were going to send you to might not be opened up.

[a slight shrug, there.]

But I don't think you're going to have any trouble getting shit done.

[namelessfighter]

And you'll tell me if that changes with other tasks?

[doublesmall]

Yeah. If the stakes change, I'm not going to leave you in the dark about it.

[namelessfighter]

Alright. Then is there anything else I can do, or will it just be tasks when you need it? It sounds like you two have the hardest job here.

[doublesmall]

Right now, the best thing you can do is keep yourself alive. If you're working with me, you're part of my people, and I don't like letting my people get killed.

Set yourself up with someone sooner rather than later, all right?

[namelessfighter]

[ he laughs ]

Don't worry about me, I'm not planning to break yet.

But what about you? Will you be alright here?

[ unsaid: do you also have to fuck and is nathan your only option because uhhhh - ]

[doublesmall]

Good. See to it that you stay in one piece.

[...but there's a pause at that last pair of questions, where he looks kanesan over thoughtfully. hm.

yeah, not bad, actually.]

I'll probably be all right, but, you know... if you offered I don't think I'd turn you down.

[namelessfighter]

[ well that wasn't exactly what he meant, but after a moment of surprise, he offers chuuya a smile. ]

Consider it an offer then, if you need different company.

[doublesmall]

Want to stick around for a bit after we're done here, then? This is my place, after all.

[a pause, and-]

Not that I'm suggesting using the chairs, promise I've got better options.

[namelessfighter]

Sure. I was only planning to look around the new areas today, anyway.

[ that said, he does cast a glance around. ]

So it's your place? You must be the master where you come from, then.

[ IT'S SO FANCY ]

[doublesmall]

Technically, it's not mine-- this belongs to my boss, but it's what showed up here. Guess since I'm helping run things, I get to borrow it for a while.

[his own is probably fancy too, but mori's is better...]

[namelessfighter]

And if you're the boss for now, you may as well take full advantage of it while you can, huh?

[ nice nice. he's happy for you, chuuya. ]

I've never seen a place like this before. It's much more... extravagant than I'm used to.
