Brook, you can try Attachment work with Will You Play. Alisa for Instinct with Spiral of Contempt, and... Daniel and Charlotte, how about Insight work with the abnormalities I assigned to the two of you?
[That seems like a safe bet to start with--making sure that Will You Play doesn't get upset by having someone talk and play with them (... provided it's harmless playing...), Alisa to make sure that Spiral doesn't look like something that needs to feed off blood or god knows what... and as for the latter two, they feel like the ones that need to be ensured that the rooms they are in are in good condition. Especially that "So No One Will Cry", it feels like making sure the talismans around the room won't peel off would be best...]
1/2: rolls: 3, 1, 1, 1, cw: decapitation, body horror, holes
Alisa takes a washcloth and starts working on cleaning the blood off of Spiral of Contempt, humming cheerfully as she does so. As soon as she has it clean, more blood appears from nowhere, and she frowns and tries to clean it up again with the same result. But there's no harm done to her, at least.
The meter on the left fills about halfway.]
[Brook enters Will You Play's chamber and waves.] Hey. What kind of games do you like to play?
[The girl perks up.] Rock paper scissors! Play a game with me! I'm going to throw... scissors!
[Brook blinks, but rolls with it. They shake their hands three times, and on the third shake, Will You Play throws scissors and Brook throws rock.
The Abnormality looks at their hands for a second, then smiles and says,] You lose.
[Her hand transforms into a giant pair of scissors, and she cuts Brook's head off. He doesn't even have time to scream.
The meter on the left fills only a couple of boxes.]
[Charlotte enters Star Luminary's room and begins to sweep the floor. There are a number of glass shards on the ground that look like they might have come from one of the spheres the Abnormality is holding.
As she sweeps, the broom she's using starts to turn to glass, from the bottom to the top. She notices and drops the broom, but her feet have already started to transform as well.]
No... No! I don't want to die! Someone do something, Manager, anyone!
[The transformation continues unimpeded. Her legs turn into glass next, and up her torso and arms.]
Not like this, please, not like thi- [The glass reaches her mouth, and all she can do is look wildly around before her eyes and the rest of her head are glass, as well.
And then the glass statue breaks into shards. Star Luminary hasn't reacted at all during this process.
Two out of twelve boxes.]
[Daniel enters the So That No One Will Cry's room and begins inspecting the talismans around, more firmly applying some that had begun to peel off. The first couple go without incident.
He suddenly yelps in pain and reels back - a talisman-shaped hole has burned through his hand where he touched it.]
Wh-what - what am I supposed to-
[More holes start appearing on his body and spreading. He grips his chest before a hole appears where his heart is supposed to be, and collapses on the floor without another sound.
Two out of twelve boxes.]

...Hey, Manager, why is everyone else taking so long?
no subject
He had looked everywhere on the desk or in the room for a button he could push, a door to run out of to try to find them, tried to get the attention of the employees that were in danger to tell them to run, even smashed a fist against the monitor when Charlotte specifically called for him out loud to do something, but ultimately everything happened so quickly that there probably wasn't anything he could have done, even if he had found the solution in time.
At least that's what Azul has to tell himself here, trying to calm down until Alisa returns, and he can at least feel a little relieved that she at least isn't dead.
He takes a breath, and then when Azul lifts his head again he looks serious, but not particularly heartbroken. He has to remind himself that it's not his fault that those other new employees died; genuinely, how was he supposed to know that any of that was going to happen? He can't be held liable for it, not when this stupid company didn't even give him a contract to read and sign first. Azul won't be so cold as to sound like he doesn't care, of course, but he will not sound panicked either when he answers Alisa's question. That won't help either of them.]
I'm sorry... but unfortunately, you were the only one that succeeded in the task you were given.
