AGI RECRUITMENT PARTY - 3 pm until 6:30 pm

[forefather]

AGI has sent some of its most charismatic recruiters, company representatives, and hottest entertainers down to the Uzushio for a three and a half hour bash open to all Newcomers. Every bath is open for guests to heat up or cool down. Dishes of snacks and sushi are set out all over the place. The bar is open and the girls are beautiful in their elegant and alluring kimono.

This thread is open to everyone. Mingle with other guests in between reading AGI propaganda brochures or being entertained by your hosts.

[The girls may be beautiful in their kimonos, but Jack simply looks ridiculous in his. Or so he thinks, anyway, and scowls, imagining the entire party is snickering at him. He holds a platter of drinks in one hand and wanders around the party carefully, his free hand activating his sonar device, allowing him to see enough not to run into anyone.]

[payback]

[Well, he can use sonar or what the heck ever now, but Rin has no idea if he can recognize her face to face. In one of the lulls she bumps into him, speaking in a low voice:]

Let's talk.

[cowboy_newsie]

[He swallows.]

Hi. Here, come back to the kitchen with me--

THE PARTY ENDS - 6:30 pm until evening sirens

[forefather]

The party is over and there's less than fifteen minutes until Darkness falls and the inn locks up for overnight guests only. Everyone is being sent home with gift bags full of coupons and membership paperwork. Enjoy.

This thread is open to anyone who wants to try their luck at sneaking around and spying on Madara's overnight guests. Spoiler: they won't succeed. Here's your chance for a threatening encounter with the man himself or his security team as you're forcefully thrown out... or mind-controlled, in the case of staff.

[cowboy_newsie]

[After his shift ends, Jack notices a few people aren't leaving. And they ought to be, because they aren't the usual overnight guests. Frowning, he wanders closer, trying to listen for any familiar voices.]

[forefather]

[There's a hand on Jack's shoulder.]

[cowboy_newsie]

[He jumps, turns, his finger triggering the sonar device-- and then relaxes when he sees who it is.]

Madara. Sorry. Hi. You scared me.

EXCLUSIVE AFTERPARTY - evening sirens until morning sirens

[forefather]

When Darkness falls, the real party starts. Madara tapped certain individuals on the shoulder over the course of the evening, whispering an invitation to stay the night at the inn. Each of these special guests has a private room (with a private bath... and maybe a couple slaves) and is encouraged to wander the inn and converse with like-minded individuals while enjoying all of its luxuries.

This thread is open to staff and villains only. Please see the plotting post for more information.

[cowboy_newsie]

[Just as he did in the early evening, Jack wanders from room to room, giving guests whatever they need-- but there's a blankness in his eyes that wasn't there before.]

[phaseshifts]

[Tyki is rather interested by what exactly has been inflicted upon Madara's regular (read: non-evil) staff to keep them tractable in this pit of snakes and villains. He comes up to examine Jack when he spots him, blithely coming up closer than is really comfortable and peering into his face.]

Evening.

[cowboy_newsie]

[He raises an eyebrow, but doesn't step back-- because if the guest wants to stand so close, he'll allow him to.]

Evenin'. How can I help you?
