[Nothing too intensely exciting has struck this Tuesday, not even murder -- but perhaps that's about to change.
Around the castle and grounds, wherever they may be: those who have picked up some of the strange stray items that don't quite seem affected by the time loops -- the chipped jade pendant, magic fire lantern and workshop carving knife, to be precise -- will find that those items are drawing them somewhere. Quietly, but insistently.
However long it takes them to answer that call, they'll all end up at the banquet hall at about the same time, as though their inert companions had gathered them for a nice dinner of dinner is absolutely not being served right now.
However, this is where it gets interesting: all the objects begin to move on their own.
💎 The jade pendant is a bit too round to get where it wants to go, but the chipped portion is enough for it to eke out something that looks like text. It looks like it spells... "food"...??
💡 The lantern is the unwieldy sort, but it gamely balances on a corner and begins slowly scoring lines in the wood. It's slow going, and may be difficult to read, but eventually the words "ICE SPIRIT" stand out against the wood grain of the table.
🗡️ The carving knife has a predictably easier time of it, though it wobbles precariously at intervals. The not-handwriting is just as ponderous and chickenscratch as the lamp's, but like the lamp, at the very least you can read it. The phrase "beautiful color" has been etched into the tabletop.
Afterward, the draw fades and the items go back to be inanimate, and everyone is free to go about their day. You might want to do something about the table graffiti, though.]
