Fourth.

[trustmods]

The week has been relatively quiet after the utter debacle that was the previous weekend's trial; access to the fourth floor has generally ensured that no one has any excuse to not keep themselves entertained in one way or another, whether by way of games or by way of copious amounts of alcohol. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that this week's incentive came with a three-day limit this time – something that doesn't seem too geared toward discouraging the pattern that Fridays have fallen into around here. Thankfully, however, there are once again no bodies in the ballroom; it seems everyone has learned a lesson and decided to leave that place alone for the time being. But anybody heading upstairs beyond a certain point is going to have an...interesting time, let's put it that way. >Explore?

[Well, it doesn't look like a fight took place in here or anything. But there's definitely something going on at one of the tables...]

[withabigsmile]

[Well, Blue was originally planning on going to the game room, so she might as well stick with her gut. Investigating non body places in numbers is nice.

What's up at the table?]

[trustmods]

[A game, apparently! How familiar are you with Yahtzee?]

[heymcfly]

[ Marty sneaks behind her, wrinkling his nose at the game despite he situation. ] Yahtzee?

[withabigsmile]

[...It... Is a game with dice, um.

Yes okay Marty is familiar with the dice game--]

What's Yahtzee?

[...Does this game mean anything, do you know-]

[heymcfly]

A board game. It's really boring.

[ in a 17 year old teen's opinion anyway ]

[withabigsmile]

[Well, is there anything weird about the strange dice game she's not familiar with?]

[trustmods]

[You might have to leave the game to the others, but there are two mugs and one cup sitting on the table.]

[withabigsmile]

[Leaving the game to the others! Blue can figure out something else... Like those mugs and a cup.

Blue starts checking next to the table; are there chairs for three people?]

[trustmods]

[There are indeed three chairs! Good call, Blue.]

[withabigsmile]

[Three drinks, three chairs, three people.

Well, back to the mugs and the cup. Blue's going to check those both out a little more closely. What's in them? How come people keep leaving their drinks behind?]

[trustmods]

[That's a very good question. What do you want to examine first? The mugs or the cup?]

[withabigsmile]

[Let's check out the mugs first!]

[trustmods]

[It looks like the mugs are nearly full.]

[withabigsmile]

[Full of what, exactly? Do they smell strange at all?

...Blue doesn't exactly want to stick her nose anywhere near these mugs, but you know what, she'll do it for Sol.]

[trustmods]

[Hot chocolate! Or, well, it would have been hot chocolate, but now it's definitely cold.

They don't smell like anything weird though, so at least there's that?]

[shuttermouse]

[ Chie and Marty can handle the game. What are we looking at here? ]

[trustmods]

[Yahtzee! Boy that sure is a Full House someone rolled. It doesn't look too suspicious though... At least, not if you're looking at the dice.]

[heymcfly]

[ Marty eyes the dice, brows furrowed. ] There's gotta be something more in this. It's such a complicated game it's not even funny.

[ He sets the dice out, lying them carefully to the side . ]

[trustmods]

[Unfortunately, it seems like there's nothing else here. Just five dice, a pencil, and the Yahtzee scorecards... wait. There's something off about those scorecards.]

[shuttermouse]

[ Let's take a look at those scorecards, then. Anything written on any of them? ]

[trustmods]

[That's just it - they're blank.]

[heymcfly]

[ Marty turns to Chie, an expression of confusion plastered on his face. ]

Were they getting ready to play a game...?

[shuttermouse]

[ She shrugs. ]

I dunno.

[ Are we done looking at the game or is there anything else here? ]

[trustmods]

[You're good! Nothing else to note here!]
