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 ChΓ’teau 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 β†’ aquarium
- menagerie β†’ photography studio
- grotto β†’ 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! )

[It's a relief to see the library in one piece again, and better yet...this week's selection is absolutely divine. Urianger can be found reading in there for much of the day, with a big stack of books at the table with him. There's a selection of poetry, astrology and theater that he's intent on chewing his way through before the week is over. At least it's something to focus his mind on that isn't...the horrors...

Either curled up in his lap or sniffing around the library is this cute little guy.

After that, Urianger and his little animal companion make a trip to the Promenade of Reflexion to drop off some items at the little shrine taking shape. He kneels down and places a scattering of paper stars among the existing offerings, then cracks open a theater book to read a few passages aloud before it too joins the shrine.

When day succumbs to night, Urianger spends some time in the observatory, viewing the night sky through the large telescope on the top platform. He has a few of the star charts nearby, as well as an astrology book. He'd like to be able to actually view the constellations he's read about...]

[ Meanwhile, he's drawn to the medical books. Picking a couple up to bring to a table.

Trailing behind him is a large dog sized critter

Seeing Uringer's collection of books. ]


Did you find something good?

[Whoa, another dragon! Urianger looks on with interest while his carbuncle trots up near it to sniff at it. Hopefully it doesn't mind.]

Verily, I did. Many somethings, in fact. [He directs Dan Heng to his pile.] 'Tis a boon to be granted the opportunity to read of another world's poetry and astrology.

[He's living his bed nerd life right now.

His gaze drifts to Dan Heng's selection.]


Dost thou seek to educate thyself on the subject of medicine?

[ It doesn't seem to mind and will even give a curious sniff back ]

Indeed, it is. Information about a world isn't normally so easy to access.

[ Usually they have to find out the hard way...

Looking at his own books and giving a slight nod. ]


It would be useful to know so I may be of better help to my friends.

[Urianger nods back.]

A wise course of action. Given how valuable medical knowledge hath become of late...'Twould behoove us all to familiarize ourselves with the basics.

[It's becoming increasingly (and unfortunately) clear that people aren't going to stop getting hurt or worse anytime soon.]

[ The growing shrine is... a sweet gesture, but Angelo is not fond of sweet gestures. In fact, it just makes him feel kind of spiteful instead.

So when he catches Urianger making additions (including a recital! so dramatic!), he can't help being a little snide. ]


Doing all that won't undo the last weekend, you know? Not even reverting time did.

[ By Angelo's side is a fluffy little white dog looking... extremely unfriendly. ]

[Much like Yoonhee, Urianger wonders if Angelo ever has a positive thing to say about anything.

He shifts to look over his shoulder before rising to his full height. Meanwhile, his carbuncle peers out from behind his robes.]


Well aware am I that yonder shrine shall not reverse the course of events, but 'twas never the intent in the first place. 'Tis a token of remembrance, nothing more.

[ Richard was just coming here to gaze at the night sky, but Urianger's collection of charts intrigues him, so he can't help but check it out. ]

See anything recognizable?

[Oh, some company! Urianger's always happy to see others in the observatory.

He turns his attention away from the telescope.]


The star charts remain as indecipherable as ever, even with additional resources filling the library's shelves this week. I am beginning to wonder if Ish hath never seen a genuine star chart and simply crafted this inadequate simulacrum based on limited knowledge.

Similarly... [He directs Richard's attention to the book.] I have been able to locate pieces of these constellations in the night sky, but never in a complete state.

[Basically, Urianger is wondering if Ish used generative AI magic to make this pocket dimension.]

[ look at the fingers........ see if the fingers in the constellation is jacked up or not. ]

It is strange just how much of a level of detail there is in some aspects, but some just seem to be more of an afterthought.

[ From his own knowledge, the French historical figures seemed accurate? But he can only sort of verify that to a very early point. ]

[Vanis has become a decided night person ever since falling and taking up residence in Belladonna, so it's not unusual to find him wandering around the palais at odd hours.

If he's surprised to find someone else here, it doesn't show on his face. Instead, he simply picks up the astrology book to flip through, a small white fox milling around near his feet.]


Humans truly do find the stars fascinating, don't they?
