CHAPTER 5

monday

tuesday

wednesday

thursday

Almost half of the non-fairy population of Aira Niluc is gone.

Some may be feeling the absence of their fellow participants in this story. Others will stay focused on the wish they want to get. What never changes is that the story goes on, bringing you closer to the end -- and to another chapter. What will it bring this time?

Snow!

Snow as far as the eye can see, a cold blanket covering the new area. Some winter amenities are now available, ready for perusal! But that's not all there's to find: everyone also will find reminders of their homes, of people they know, of happier times.

Of their wishes.

Who will try to reach their wish this time?

[[Welcome to Week 5! Feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. However, please try to keep investigations to Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday! You can also privately contact Hamelin at your leisure.

In addition, a reminder that any Murder Proposals for this week are due by Tuesday 3:00 PM EST/12:00 PM PST! However, please note that you have the option of submitting murder proposals for a later week as well.]]

Wood Chopping

[hellochildren]

[The parrot was not planning on coming here at all. Better things to do than waste time at a party, after all, and he did not like wasting time in a place like this.

But then Pericles sees the tall, beefy man chopping wood and wearing a simple top and. Well. He has an urge to do something a bit...mischievous.

So, while McGillis is busy chopping, a bird gets a shot glass full of wine, flies close to the man as silently as possible, before whispering to himself.]

I hope you are watching, Frau SQ.

[And with that, McGillis will feel wine start to soak through his shirt.]

1/?

[vogelfrei]

[vogelfrei]

[ This is so gross. This is so gross. It's not the first time he's had wine poured on him but like, probably the worst one?

He's just... some of that got into his hair! Where did this even come from? ]

[vogelfrei]

[ Bird.

For the first time in his life he's well and truly been betrayed by a bird, those beautiful creatures. The pain is immeasurable.

Sure, they did not have a pleasant talk last trial, but... ]

Have you lost your mind?!

Done!

[vogelfrei]

[ It's cold. It's too cold to be this wet! He was a bit sweaty before and that was unpleasant already but now he's soaked through. It's so cold... ]

Fucking hell.

[ There it is, his swear of the game. ]

not here

[gemuinemanagement]

[glances over at all the yelling

walks directly into a tree]

1/2

[biyishuangfei]

[ SO...Huaisang was minding his own business, living his own life when suddenly!

McGillis is wet in a thin shirt.

Ah...so it's true, prayers do come true after all. Sure he absolutely loves seeing him shirtless on a constant basis, but you know...

At the very least Huaisang's subtle enough not to make it obvious he's staring because he's real good at admiring beautiful sights from afar. It's all good.

Also his soul may have temporarily ascended to heaven during all of this, and so if his soul slipped from his body for a few seconds would anyone be surprised? ]

2/2

[biyishuangfei]

[ Annnnnd then his practical self kicks in after those precious very scant moments - barely a second even - passes. Because he realizes it's cold as fuck outside.

He runs into a cabin so fast it may as well be a sprint (because it is) and he returns with a blanket. ]

Sorry, they didn't have towels in there...so hopefully this might help?

[ ...of course this is looking like first McGillis will need to take off his shirt...not that he minds. ]

[vogelfrei]

[ Luckily McGillis is too busy arguing with Pericles to really notice just how much he is being looked at here. So when Huaisang arrives with a blanket instead, he's a sight for sore eyes indeed.

McGillis does not make any particularly sexy expression up close. Mostly he looks like a wet and very angry cat. ]

Come back to the cabin with me. I'm not giving him the satisfaction.

[ Of stripping here, he means. But also he's shaking a little, it really is time to go. ]

[biyishuangfei]

[ ...the wet and angry cat thing would be funny if McGillis wasn't upset and actively freezing, which is like a valid concern to him right now. ]

Oh, right, of course. Let's get going right away, it's much too cold out here as it is...

[ Huaisang will make good strides towards the cabin, though he's going to look back at least once to make sure no one's following them because privacy is needed ok!! ]

[vogelfrei]

[ McGillis much appreciates this effort, he himself is pretty busy single-mindedly speedwalking towards warmth. He's forgets to grab his coat, too, but maybe that's a good thing to avoid getting wine stains in it.

As soon as their inside with the door closed behind them, the shirt does come off and is dropped on the floor in an uncharacteristically messy move. What remains is shirtless disgruntled McGillis and the ever present black box on his back. ]

This joke has gone on way too far.

Also not here.

[incompletely]

[ mcgillis is a good looking man and all but that’s not why tenn is staring.

he is absolutely BAFFLED that a goddamn bird knows what fanservice is. ]

[hellochildren]

[listen

you learn things when you associate with a group of mystery solving teenagers

and they all pair up with each other]

[hellochildren]

Ah, apologies! I meant to take zat to my room for the night, but it slipped from my claws.

My sincerest apologies.

[He is not sorry in the slightest.]

Perhaps it woult be best if you removed your shirt.

[incompletely]

You aren’t subtle at all.

[hellochildren]

[somehow shrugs while still flying]

You cannot deny it effective in giving people what zey vant.

[Pointed look toward NHS and Suga.]

[gemuinemanagement]

I AM LOYAL TO MY BOYFRIEND I HAVE NEVER LOOKED AT ANOTHER MAN IN A WET SHIRT

[vogelfrei]

[ He's being bullied by a parrot. In real life. A real parrot is bullying him and it's paradoxically harder to fend off than human bullying. What a day.

McGillis does manage to compose himself a little instead of falling into rage though. It's not the first time in his life people tried to get the best of him! ]

I'm sure coming on to me and trying to kill me via frostbite seemed to you to be convenient multi tasking but it is embarrassing for a man of your age.

[ He doesn't think coming onto him was Pericles' intent in the slightest but at this point the professor is going to be more humiliated by the accusation than himself, so... ]

[hellochildren]

[A chuckle.]

Trust me, you do not even come close to my stantards.

I simply sought it woult be kind to give people vhat zey what. And you cannot deny some of us are...qvite appreciative.

[Not his fault literally everyone else is happy to see the brick wall of a man get his tight shirt wet-and would probably be even happier seeing him out of it.]

[heroicact]

[Things we were expecting at this gathering: eyecandy!

Things we were getting at this gathering: EYECANDY.

Things we were not expecting at this gathering: THAT.

Step 1: Hmmhmmm. Yes. Very nice indeed. Mission achieved.
Step 2: Check whether Huaisang is still breathing and/or moving.
Step 3: Huaisang's got it, so we'll just settle back here and enjoy the show-slash-circus in general. ☆]

[vogelfrei]

[ He's never doing you another favor ever again. ]

[heroicact]

[Note to self: Have Huaisang do this particular invitation next time.]

[mirrite]

[... yeah, he's just gonna concede defeat here, there's no way he can measure up to that. Sigh.

GO AHEAD AND STARE A LITTLE, PHIL, IT'S FINE]

[biqe]

[ don't call him out like this ]

[edamamepon]

[ Glances... Feels incredibly skinny all of a sudden.

Also all of you are very impolite. ]
