WEEK THREE

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! )

[ ... ]

Ah. I see how it is. The humans turned against "their savior and life of the kingdom."

[distain]

[Thinking back to her first conversation over these crystals, which also happened to be with Yoonhee... so many people participated in that. Right? Better to be cognizant of that.]

It's not just any emotions, right? It's the betrayal of the heart, or something of that nature.

[As the catalyst for Ish's greedy outburst at Siffrin's wrongful conviction, she can own her hand in it. Maybe she's desperate to get that one good thing out of it.]

[snakeblood]

So, you think a sort of revenge for his creator that humans turned against? [ Ah, revenge. The countless times humans yearn for it. ]

casually spoiling 999 lmao (major spoilers)

[fourtuity]

[ clover's staying quiet because this is mostly ish talk and she fucking hates the guy too much to even talk about him without venom. but something about this annoys the hell out of her! ]

Is it even a question? You can still be just another player and a villain at the same time. Last stupid incident I was in, the mastermind and their secretary were simultaneously players while moving stuff behind the scenes. I'm pretty sure now that it was done to save the mastermind in the past and get revenge for dying back then. Which, yeah, I get. But also that doesn't change the bullshit they put us through. Sheesh!

[ somehow she has managed to say almost all of that in one breath. ]

[arbalestrier]

[There's silence on his end as he ponders over this. It's long enough to make a conversation feel awkward if it was a one-on-one conversation, but since they're on a conference call, it's probably less noticeable.]

What exactly did he say?

[diel]

Assigned villain is still a villain, is it not? Did I ever say anything about forgiving him that role just because he's might be a player in his own game?

[fourtuity]

I was thinking you were fishing for a particular outcome, so I just wanted to put that out there. That's all. I mean, might as well, right? We're all throwing spaghetti to the wall to see what sticks.

[distain]

If I disliked and admired humans, I might turn around and use the project of their cruelty to show something. [It's an especially spiteful mood, but also a little desperate...This might not be the real game, but she could see it.]

[distain]

Hm. [It's a melodic, thoughtful hum.] Why not this one? Though, apparently, you should also have one for the moon and countless other stars...

[She flips a blurb describing the constellation Taurus and its various positions around, rotating the book for Dan Heng to peruse.]

It sounds like silly superstition to me so people can explain away things they don't like about themselves.

[diel]

Oh? What outcome?

[ he's interested in what she has to say. ]

[diel]

[ he smiles at them. ]

[snakeblood]

I can see that. Still not sure how these vengeful emotions are supposed to save his mother though. [ He doesn't know anything about magic. ]

[fourtuity]

[ She tilts her head to the side with a smile. ]

Well, Chara did say "no mercy" already, so how about "you see whose sympathy could be a liability"?

[fourtuity]

That's one way to put it.

[ she's certainly not gonna say nope to that. ]

[coldseep]

( hmmmm )

Well, what did he tell you about Ecumene?

[coldseep]

( hwy will join yoru on his random maladaptive impulses as always but that's a given

He turns over Yoru's words in his thoughts. )

... I wonder who it's meant to swallow.

( He's definitely thought about the pit before. It seems strange to have a set piece but not use it... so he suspects it has a purpose - or had one, at one point.

In any case. )

... Should I visit?

( yoru doesn't sound Great, is all. he can't help but worry. )

[snakeblood]

That it's his home world, it was part of his story with the cannibal child. [ That's it, because he doesn't care. ]

[coldseep]

( A dragon with a quiet temperament, resembling but not identical to Hwylryn's dragon form, travels in orbit around Hwylryn as if it were swimming through water.

He pauses when he's addressed by her. )

... On stars?

[coldseep]

( i'm playing this as before primrose stuff so here we are, hwy has a pressing priority here: )

... Are you okay?

( guys why are there so many time shenanigans out there his head hurts )

[fourtuity]

[ she nods, because well yeah. she's definitely a lot better about this than she was the first week that's for sure ]

I've had time to think about it? So yeah, I'm as fine as I can be.

[coldseep]

... If it helps to say it aloud, you can always talk to me. All right?

[fourtuity]

Your question came first overall though? But whatever. I was just bantering like usual, but banter with you is sure futile.

2/2 pr'haps

[lesmodsalouette]

[The table graffiti stays till around end of day; at some point it's scribbled over and scratched out, erased with some precision and properly covered with place settings. As though it was never there.]

[baebladie]

[ Blade doesn't tend to think about these things too hard. He is familiar with intergalactic races, so it expands his range of experiences with not just humans. Yet, all the same, there is another answer to this. ]

And those who are committed to their decisions also wouldn't find reason to change them.

[ He supposes...but, he remembers his own response when he was asked those questions in the very first week. So, really, it isn't a surprise about the conclusion he reaches. ]
