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...

WEEK TWO

[fullthottle]

[Unlike last week, this week will find Kanesan in an unfortunately decrepit looking community center. The inside is bare-bones and a bit depressing, but there's plenty of room to roam around.]

TALK TO NATHAN

[notaquaman]

Welcome, one and all!

[Nathan points a finger around the room, not that there are more than two other people here to witness it.]

Remember the golden rule: if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. This old bird is sensitive. She's seen a lot of shit in her day, literal and figurative.

[namelessfighter]

[ well he’s not judging, exactly? but kanesan is looking around curiously. he’s never seen a place like this? ]

So this is where you’re from?

[ it, uh. it suits nathan, in a weird way. ]

[notaquaman]

Yep! Not where I lived or nothin' mind you.

[He did he totally lived here he slept on the floor.]

But home is home.

[namelessfighter]

Mm, it doesn't really look like a home, though I've never seen a place like this before. What is it, exactly?

[notaquaman]

It's a community center. It's, like, a place where...the community...does shit, I guess.

[He knows what he did there, but thinking about it, it really was sort of a...jack of all trades kind of location.]

Event hosting and other shit.

TALK TO CHUUYA

[doublesmall]

[Well, it's Nathan's space, so he's apparently accepted the 'don't say anything if you can't say something nice' rule for now. Chuuya is floating, sitting in the air with his legs crossed, elbow on his knee and chin propped in his palm-- and making sure to hover high enough that his coat doesn't touch the ground.]

Good work last week, by the way. Any questions, anything you want to get out of the way first?

[namelessfighter]

[ chuuya is valid ]

Nothing about the task, but… If I wanted to ask about the curse that’s been going around, what would you be able to tell me?

[doublesmall]

Depends-- you mean the one that's pretty much made me institute a 'no fucking touching' rule?

[namelessfighter]

Ah - that too, yes. It's pretty inconvenient.

[ because what the fuck. why does it affect even his hair. ]

I meant the other one, though. But if the two of you aren't immune to the touching effect, does that mean you're also subject to the other curse? The one that gets passed through sex?

[doublesmall]

You don't have to worry about us.

[but... hmm.]

I can tell you more about it, but not for free. Mind stopping by my room after this?

[which we don't need a different thread for btw don't worry about an audience request]

[namelessfighter]

I don't have to, but that doesn't mean I don't care what happens to my comrades.

[ but he'll give a nod. ]

Alright. Just tell me what you need from me, and I'll do it.

[doublesmall]

It's a mutual thing.

[he cares what happens to anyone he works with too... kanesan you're a good bean.]

But it's what you'd expect out of this place, honestly. I can trade you the information for sex.

[namelessfighter]

I don't mind it so much, as long as it's you.

[ never nathan though, yikes ]

I did have another question for you, about a note I received. I suppose that falls under the same conditions, right?

[doublesmall]

Try the question first, we'll find out.

[namelessfighter]

Do you know where it came from, or who wrote it? Was it one of us, or one of the ones who were here before?

[doublesmall]

...yeah, I can give you an answer, but it's the same deal. I don't know if two rounds in a day counts, though.

[offhandedly:]

But there's still two of us.

[namelessfighter]

[ flatly: ]

Then I'll come back another day.

[ he has standards, thanks ]

[doublesmall]

I swear, you guys are trying to wear me out.

... not that I didn't like the last time, mind you.

[namelessfighter]

[ sigh. ]

Maybe if Nathan weren't so... him, I wouldn't mind. But if you're too busy, I could talk to Carlos instead...?

[doublesmall]

You're still working with both of us, you know? Not just me-- but I'm not gonna ask you to sleep with someone you don't want to, either.

Carlos might not be able to tell you. Just meet me tomorrow, too.

[namelessfighter]

[ chuuya gets a sympathetic look at that. if polly had chosen literally anyone else for her sex demon ritual, maybe he wouldn't be so, uh. busy? ]

Alright, alright. I'll be back again tomorrow, then.

TASK

[fullthottle]

[After talking to Chuuya and Nathan, Izuminokami will receive the following notification on his clamshell:]

Have a private conversation with at least five individuals you don't already know well.

[Comment here with your list of 5 no later than 11:59 PM EST on Friday for Kanesan's reward!]

[namelessfighter]

some of them aren't far yet but here we go:

1. shiraishi
2. grune
3. escha
4. zero
5. maou

[fullthottle]

[Guess what! He gets another note. This time it's typed, in Times New Roman.]
