WEEK TWO

WEEK TWO
30 Guests


You're wrapped in a soothing, all-encompassing darkness.

You've had a good nights sleep, a very good nights sleep, much like the one on Thursday night. No matter where you slept (on a chair, under a bed, in a closet), you wake up in a bed with a stranger—no, you know this person. You just spent the past weekend with them, forced to go through a hell carnival, how could you forget? Your mind is full of fog and sleep calls to you, but it's elusive.

You're at ChΓ’teau Ambregris, brought here against your will by a terrible Witch. So why is it that you're dressed in your old clothes again? Why does your body feel the same as it does when you woke up here a week ago? Maybe this time you won't hit your head. The clocks all gong within minutes, so at least this time it seems, you won't need to wait too long for answers. Though, it seems things aren't exactly as you remember them...

TIME LOOP:
-Characters wake up with the clothes they had with them at their canon point, like in the intro log.
-The state of their bodies is exactly the same as it was on the intro log (for better or worse).
-Any items they accumulated last week are also reset (sorry you'll need to build up your weapon cache again), except items that were given out as event rewards. Please note that the item uses are not reset.

LOCATIONS UPDATED:
-library, workshop
- pool β†’ mud bath, throne room β†’ menagerie
- rose soap and candle details have been updated for villas for clarity

WEEKLY EFFECT
This week's effect is mood weather. Is your character really happy? Rainbows might appear all around them. Sad? Watch out for that raincloud above your head. Having doki's? Flowers might suddenly spring up under their feet. These effects are just suggestions, feel free to riff as you like and make anger lightning of your dreams. Notably, these effects will appear even if your character has a great poker face, but is still inwardly feeling emotions.

This effect, like the weather itself, is intermittent throughout the week.

(OOC: Murder proposals and counter proposals are open! )

Everyone?

[He wondered how many bad things you had to do before it didn't matter how good your heart was. He wondered how eventually could match up against a fate that dictated you had very little time left.

Instead of saying these things, he reaches over to touch his fingertips to the back of Hwy's hand.]


That's a nice story. Thank you for sharing.

( Junior says thanks, but Hwylryn wonders if it really landed...

He looks to Junior, studying him for a few moments. )


... Do you think you don't count as part of "everyone"?

[He looks guilty, that Hwylryn might perceive these negative thoughts and feel badly, himself. Alas, Junior knew he wasn't much of a liar. So he'll just admit, honestly:]

Not really. [...] I don't think I've ever thought of myself that way.

[As being the same as other people. As belonging. Though, his time here...he was starting to feel an inkling of what it might be like, to belong.]

I don't know if my heart is good or bad.

Mmm . . .

( Does anyone? And, can anyone say for sure? He doesn't know if these are useful answers, even if they may be appropriately philosophical. So he holds onto them, and weaves them into a different thought.

He takes up Junior's smaller hand in his, half-buried in the clovers as their hands now are. )


I don't know if my heart is good or bad, either. ( Perhaps it doesn't matter, either - as a force of nature, he simply is. ) But I do know I've found happiness in my life. And I do know I've found some happiness here. So if I say, for example, you've made me happy . . . then isn't that like saying I've found a four leaf clover, in its own way?

( And he's not gonna believe Junior's never been happy, because he surely has been - with Primrose, with the hot chocolate . . . and surely more times Hwylryn wasn't privileged to see.

But he does understand Junior is still learning to understand these things, too. )


Maybe you just don't know what happiness you've been visited by yet. But I hope you can stay curious about what happiness is. And I hope you can accept you've deserved it, when you find these things.

[Junior's brow furrows as he listens carefully, looking at their joined hands. It was all so much to take in, and so terribly confusing. Not just what feelings were, but how to identify them, in himself.]

I don't know if I completely understand, but...

[His expression softens, and maybe he smiles, just a little bit.]

I think maybe I am learning what happiness is.

( Here, the fog clears, ever so slightly - the moisture condensing toward the bottom, the sunlight shining faintly on that foggy sea. Ah, what a small, sweet smile... )

Then, guess what? That makes me happy.

( He brushes his thumb softly along Junior's hand, fond. )

... I hope I can be around to see you figure it out, bit by bit.
