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! )

We must have tried that before now, surely.

Maybe that's the point of the loops: to reset us before we can try.

... I wonder, really. [ which is homura-ese for she doesn't think so, probably. ] If you look at his statue, one of his other magics is memory manipulation.

If his time and memory magic are anything like my own, all he would need to do to stop us from trying is to make us not remember wanting to.

The loops ... if we can even truly confirm that, are for something else. You can argue that us remembering is something going wrong on his part, but he doesn't seem particularly bothered by the fact that we do.

That pretender is very good at doing exactly that...appearing he is in control at all times. In every single bit of the way.

Though even he has his limits. It's a matter of finding the rest to make it all collaspe completely.

Modifying memories, in my experience, is a much less demanding magic than rewinding time, pocket dimension or not. Yet he chooses to continue to utilize the latter and not the former.

Others are free to weigh in, of course. Perhaps there are some who come from places where time magic is the simpler of the two.

I haven't really heard of time magic at all in my world. Most things that people see as 'time magic' are actually other kinds of magic applied in specific ways. Like, say, teleporting to avoid travel time, or modifying memories to make someone think more or less time passed than usual.

Mmm. Yes. To keep my time magic a secret from others with magic I passed it off in similar ways. To an outside observer it would appear much like simple speed enhancement, or teleportation.

[ most of what she's overheard here, in this group call or previously, leads her to believe that time magic is similarly rare to unheard of across other worlds. which returns them to her point: there are easier ways to keep them from trying to kill the witch than reset time. therefore: ]

What do you think happens on our eighth day, if Ish ever allowed it to come to pass? I have my own thoughts on the subject but I would hear others'.

Well I think we can safely eliminate "the game continues uninterrupted" from that list, because if it did then he would have no reason to use time magic in the first place.
