WEEK THREE

28 Guests

You awaken smothered in wonderfully soft blankets. If you are lucky, there is a warm body next to you, but... those are becoming shorter and shorter in supply, aren't they?

It's Monday at Château Ambregris, and you have just arrived here. Whatever clothes you are wearing, whatever injuries you are sporting... They are once again accurate to how you were before this tale began. Whether this leaves you with any urgent matters to take care of or relieved of ailing you had contracted in the 'last' week, the gong of the numerous clocks chimes out indifferently to the hour. Gone is the urgent summons of the past two weeks, with no Witch to greet you.

Rise and shine, and face your 'first' day in your 'new' home! And though you may now think yourself quite familiar with it, maybe another look around wouldn't hurt?

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, gardens
- mud bath → aquarium
- menagerie → photography studio
- grotto → greenhouse

WEEKLY EFFECT

This week every character will have a spirit animal that follows them around like a familiar. The choice of animal is up to you (natural or supernatural), but it should represent them in some way. The animal is restricted in size to that of a large dog and is incorporeal, though it can interact with other spirit animals. As the animal is a representation of their heart and inner self, it might be better at expressing itself than it's owner.

Yes, this is basically daemons. This palace clearly needs more animals for emotional support!

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

[ yoru shrugs. sorry, he doesn't know! ]

[perfectpower]

Maybe giving the opposite emotion to what he wants could do some damage then.

[antemeridian]

[ yoru's not going to be able to see this but homura is closing her eyes so deeply at this. ]

[snakeblood]

[ He can't hear you shrug, but he'll assume. ]

[diel]

Ha. Don't bother asking. It isn't interesting.

[diel]

[ mood tho ]

[antemeridian]

... I wonder, really. [ which is homura-ese for she doesn't think so, probably. ] If you look at his statue, one of his other magics is memory manipulation.

If his time and memory magic are anything like my own, all he would need to do to stop us from trying is to make us not remember wanting to.

The loops ... if we can even truly confirm that, are for something else. You can argue that us remembering is something going wrong on his part, but he doesn't seem particularly bothered by the fact that we do.

right?

[ Curling a hand on his chin ]

While it isn't bad being around people, I do prefer quiet and solitude.

[diel]

Something or someone who can make his wish possible. Something that's hungrier than you or I.

[ you know, in a metaphorical sense, sure. definitely not literal... ]

The pit in the center of his carnival reminds me of a giant maw.

[ who wants to jump in with him next time just for funsies ]

[snakeblood]

"Almost two thousand years."

I've been wondering if his mother dearest was the one behind it, but if he's trying to save her, I guess not. There's his father too. He doesn't seem as touchy about it though.

[oncefallen]

Theoretically, but humans are humans.

[He knows you understand what he means by that, Hwyl.]

[oncefallen]

Oh? You sound like you already have.

[oncefallen]

Which of the two do you believe he lacks-- the magic, or the know-how?

[antemeridian]

[ it is with great reluctance that homura shows up to the banquet hall, more or less led by the chipped pendant and accompanied by a flickering, starry shadow quavering ominously as it trails her,

but once its business is done she just takes in the message carved out (while the shadow settles back into the shape of the white-winged blackbird seen in her previous top level) and... ]

... and how do you suggest we get it to you, I wonder? Burn it? Lay it out in offering in the mirror hall...?

[antemeridian]

If precedent holds, it will be the knowledge of what exactly is needed and how to accomplish it.

[ she will not be elaborating, thank you. ]

[caporegrimme]

It's not impossible he's just another player, but that shouldn't stop us from saving ourselves first. We'll figure out if he's another victim only after we figure out how to stop the cycle of murders.

[If it turns out Ish is another pawn, then that'll have to be dealt with only after everyone else is saved. Can't take for granted Ish needs help]

[diel]

I talk to him about some things. Don't we all?

[ ehe ]

[coldseep]

( unfortunately... )

Still... I don't usually spend so much time in human settlements - do they always kill each other this fast? This often?

( like )

[oncefallen]

[Yeah, that's his sense too.]

It would explain why he seemed so unenthused about the offer of some of my feathers and the mana they contain.

[snakeblood]

[ yes, more often ]

[diel]

?

What do you mean? Did he tell you he was trying to save his mom?

[oncefallen]

Haha... indeed we do. It's interesting to hear what each of us has chosen to speak with him about.

[snakeblood]

...? You just said he was.

[oncefallen]

Yes, under the right circumstances. And it would seem these are more than the right circumstances.

[diel]

[ HELLO? ]

Pft. Hahaha! Who dreams of their mom? He's trying to save that woman he worships.
