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! )

( ok not to be a slight apologist for the guy who's sending him to therapy each week (the therapist is g'raha) but )

... I think he's just tired.

[snakeblood]

Is he? [ Good. ]

[coldseep]

Just a guess. He must have his fingers in a lot of pies to keep this all going... it really is much more complicated than just killing us outright.

( And, as speculated, there's likely been loops before, so. )

cw cannibalism?

[snakeblood]

Or he's just a freak who likes to see watch people eat each other and whatever else people do.

[the_obedient_servant]

Running on the assumption that he's acting only out of mindless sadism is the point of his elaborate villain persona. I would recommend against giving him that.

[snakeblood]

No, he definitely has goals, but he definitely enjoys the sickness of it.

[the_obedient_servant]

Oh yes, definitely.

Apparently it comes from a hatred of humanity and a belief that we all deserve it for something we did to his "goddess".

[snakeblood]

Is that what he said?

cw cannibalism???? :whistles innocently:

[coldseep]

Huh? Who's eating each other?

[snakeblood]

Some former victims of his, apparently.

[coldseep]

Was it after he stopped giving them food, or something? Or just for fun?

[oncefallen]

He did get quite testy when Miss Shiv and I questioned him about his Goddess. I wonder if his resolve is beginning to break down.

[the_obedient_servant]

I think so.

I wonder how long he has been doing this for.

[oncefallen]

Given the age on his plaque, it could easily be over a millennia. Even if beings who live that long don't view time the same way humans do, the discouragement they feel at repeated failures will still sting just the same.

[coldseep]

How do you know he's failing?

[oncefallen]

Mmm... I doubt he would have reacted the way he did if he felt assured of his success. The fact that it took so little to prompt an outburst makes me think this isn't the first time he's tried this plan, only to have it fail in the end.

[coldseep]

... I wonder what the criteria for success and failure is. We've had a successful trial, and a mistrial.

( And Ish seemed really happy about the mistrial, at least. )

I'd have thought a failure would be if we didn't kill anyone at all.

[diel]

He's failed before.

[coldseep]

When?

[antline]

[He doesn't say anything to this. He simply looks at the ground, his face a little tight.]

[diel]

Did he?

[ huh... that's surprising. and a little amusing. ]

[oncefallen]

[He nods.]

Miss Shiv asked him if his Goddess had responded to him and said that she would prefer to talk to this Goddess instead of him. I merely asked him whether he was certain this Goddess of his still existed.

His response was rather telling-- that was the first time I'd seen him get anything resembling angry.

[diel]

Ha. Don't bother asking. It isn't interesting.

[oncefallen]

Oh? You sound like you already have.

[diel]

I talk to him about some things. Don't we all?

[ ehe ]
