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! )

[ i know i know i know ]

I know.

[ he’d known before the polaroid. but it’s also easy to guess why yoru’s worried. ]

Well, then, obviously…

[baebladie]

[ It looks horrible, though Blade finds the sight more familiar than most of the others - on the Xianzhou that could happen to anyone who becomes marastruck. His gaze lingers on it, even, before it slides back to the other, focused, but hoping (what a word for him to use) that determination lingers. ]

Then, I'll have to see you continue to show that's the case.

[ G'raha's clearly faced them down before...so, nothing should be holding him back, right? ]

[uiscebeatha]

[ His smile is so, so cute. Cain grins in response, glad to have gotten that out of him. ]

That you like me.

[ Hehe. There's a tease in his voice, too. ]

[uiscebeatha]

[ Cain chuckles quietly, the light in his eyes softening a bit. It's a new look, faintly different from other looks he's worn. A window, thrown open in the staunch walls of the castle around his heart. ]

Well, then, that makes me happy.

[ He mirrors what he says in his tease.

He holds his breath for a second, like he's debating if he should say, or do something. His eyes briefly flick downward, but don't stay there.

Instead, he taps a finger on Yoru's lips. That'll have to do for now. ]

Thank you.

[vivens]

[ a little bit of both but one is impossible. ]

Only my little brother; he's the only other person who could have any right to this.

[cleansheets]

[ ... ah. ]

Not a bad method to do it.

[ It wouldn't have helped him any, but he gets the urge. ]

[allrounder]

[ He laughs, almost. It's more of a little huff than anything. ]

I hope I can manage.

[ Blade and his high expectations... but G'raha had seen the photo he was looking at, so he tilts his head slightly. ]

Would you be interested in the story behind that?

[diel]

[ he bites cain’s finger, just the tip and lightly at that because he has some manners. that’s for teasing him and for being foolish enough to put his finger near yoru’s mouth. ]

Thank me when there’s a reason to, Cain.

[ making cain laugh isn’t something he needs to be thanked for. but, suddenly, he remembers the last conversation he had with siffrin.

‘I started telling jokes because I liked the way someone laughed at them, how he smiled at me and would play along.’

he… really doesn't want to think about that right now. his eyes travel from cain to the polaroids. ]

That boy has your eyes.

[diel]

Well, I do like how you… keep me warm.

[ staying pg-13 ]

[baebladie]

[ G'raha speaks with such confidence, he'd better be ready to show it in truth! Though, he knows it is still something that is easier said than done. He doubts G'raha wasn't completely immune to seeing his fears start him back in the face like this...so he looks at him for a moment as if the gaze simply says "you will". But at the question? ]

...I would.

[ It certainly has piqued more than a smidgen of his curiosity, after all. What could have even potentially caused the possibility? ]

It reminds me of something I have seen before.

[caporegrimme]

Perhaps he thinks that's intimidating...?

[People do things to intimidate others! Heck, Scarlet wears this cloak to try to intimidate others. It doesn't work all that well, does it?]

[caporegrimme]

...it is a very tangible possibility. It's what I was doing right before I got dragged here. I'm afraid once I return, first thing I'll have to do is go back to that...!

[It already was hard enough to agree to do this. He's not sure he'd be able to psyche himself up for a second time, mostly because he really really really doesn't want this at all]

[snakeblood]

Damn, if he thinks that's intimidating, I want whatever drugs he's taking. [ Especially see how much everyone makes fun of it?? ]

cw for references to past child abuse

[the_obedient_servant]

The problem is that home would always remain, no matter how much you try to avoid it. It was only ever a vehicle of escapism.

[allrounder]

Tell me of it, then.

[ He'll launch into his own explanation first, however. ]

I remember that scene as if it had occurred only a few days ago. Those who were swallowed by despair or grief... would turn into what was known as "abominations," creatures so unholy that they were deemed a curse worse than even the greatest demon.

At this time, the leaders were holding a meeting to determine our next course of action. A woman was frantic over her son, and before we could prevent it from happening... despair overtook her and she transformed. The sight alone was enough to cause the transformation of several others, and the actions of those monsters only served to cause a chain of transformations.

[ocenon]

[ joke's on you, nick, because: ]

I think that should be more than enough! We can certainly figure out as we go along, right?

[ And there's rulebooks around somewhere that Richard's putzed around with, but nothing beats the real thing. ]

[caporegrimme]

He might be in deep denial.

[But at least Ish has a nice color scheme, he can do that much]

[snakeblood]

Or very deep delusion.

[caporegrimme]

Alright, that'll do. I probably will be able to tell if anything looks wrong. It's not that hard of a concept -- just get the balls to the holes to the sides and don't climb all over the table. Basic enough.

[He knows that much, at least]

[caporegrimme]

I find it hard to believe he hasn't been told that directly. Then again, it's better not to be taunting him for no reason.

[Scarlet doesn't mind being a killjoy if it means people don't make everything worse inadvertently. He knows very well poking someone unstable only makes everything much worse, oh boy]

[snakeblood]

It's best to know the right ways to get under someone one's skin anyway.

[fourtuity]

...Yeah, I know. [ He's still alive though, her mind adds.

Now that she's aware of the polaroids presence again, her mood noticeably dampens.]

[snakeblood]

Stop looking if it depresses you so much.

[fourtuity]

[ More cheek puffing. ] Ugh, no way! But it's Monday, so I shouldn't waste more time on this!

[ After saying that, she turns on her heels to walk out, chihuahua looking back and barking wildly. Or at least it seems like it's barking wildly. ]

[fourtuity]

Then why are you still here?
