bellelurette | 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! )

Ironic... I guess you could say that. I think it's quite human. Humans often can't face the consequences of their own actions. Frankenstein's monster eventually kills his entire family once it sees the rest of humanity will never accept it. Even when it tries to save a child from drowning, the girl's father tries to kill it.

[ The last sentence is what gets to him, most of all. ]

It's easy for others to reject something they view as monstrous. Though, by doing that, they don't even think about what lies inside of them.

[ In the end, who really is the monster?

Maybe it isn't so one-sided. But, where does that leave everyone in that wretched end? It gives him a lot to think about. ]

Running away, for those humans in fiction and for those like tbose humans beyond it, seems like their best option. Even if it condemns them.

I wonder what they would do, if they could start over?

Probably the same.

Humans are quick to reject anything or anyone that's not like them. As long as the crowd doesn't accept it, there's people who'd let their worst natures take the better of them. They won't let someone have peace, as long as there's a difference they perceive, however misguided, as a danger exists.

[ As he said: awful. He knows too well in the worst of humanity. He trades in it, after all. ]

[ 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. ]

[ He thoughtfully hums and flips a few pages. ]

Frankenstein's character is quite too shifting though. The monster wants him to make a bride for him and the scientist agrees, only to destroy it when he starts to think about them procreating.

His rejection of the monster he created ended up extending further into a twisted progression of events.

Another look into that mindset, but not surprising given the summary. There was never any hope for change. Many like that are the same.

[ Blade sees that well enough; the changing of mind is merely a reflection of inevitability. ]

Correct! There's no happy ending for either the monster or his creator in the end. Miss Shelley knew people so well already even when she just eighteen years old.
