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! )

[snakeblood]

So, you think a sort of revenge for his creator that humans turned against? [ Ah, revenge. The countless times humans yearn for it. ]

[distain]

If I disliked and admired humans, I might turn around and use the project of their cruelty to show something. [It's an especially spiteful mood, but also a little desperate...This might not be the real game, but she could see it.]

[snakeblood]

I can see that. Still not sure how these vengeful emotions are supposed to save his mother though. [ He doesn't know anything about magic. ]

[distain]

[dude don't you do curses and shit]

I don't know. It hasn't brought mine back, either. [Her father's resentment will follow her the rest of her life. Her mother is still dead.]

It doesn't seem possible, unless she would return twisted by such ugly feelings.

[snakeblood]

[ Curses aren't magic! It's occultism. who knows what's the difference shh ]

The dead can't be brought back, but someone on a brink can temporarily given vitality, depending on circumstance and methods. I wouldn't know how his magic works, but giving someone essences of darker, twisted emotions seems... counterintuitive to his goals? If he wants his mother as the same. [ Boring, as Yoru called her. ]

If we assume this is about his mother to begin with. The possibility that talking about her is all a smokescreen is there too.

[distain]

[The distinction is way beyond her thus far, but she'll eventually catch up to it. Maybe. Does she need to know the difference between magic and a curse? The only information that's really pertinent is information that'll solve their questions.]

Things aren't really ever the same once you've lost them, are they? [Her voice drops a little, low and contemplative.] Maybe he knows and doesn't care.

Mm... but many of you have lost parents. [You, she says, as if her mother's death hasn't been her albatross her entire life.] It could be an appeal.

[snakeblood]

[ He's entirely the wrong person to talk this, for many reasons. ] I wouldn't know what's that like. My parents are both alive, but... [ He has no attachment towards them. Never has. ] I wouldn't care to get them back even if I did. But my family situation is different.

I can only go by what clients want. Which... can be the most fucked up shit, by most people's standards?

[distain]

I'm not sure I would, either. [Someone please come take this topic away from these two, the least equipped to discuss it.]

Is Ish the kind of person you'd get as a client? The strength of your respective skills notwithstanding.

[snakeblood]

[ He'll stop talking about parents for the both of them, since it's clear they're inexperienced... ]

Oh, definitely. The desperate with vengeful wishes that they want fulfilled, no matter the price to themselves. Or someone else. Very par for the course.

[ ... ] Honestly, I could probably do something about her, if the danger is that her subconsciousness has been suppressed by something. But awakening her would only be a temporary measure. We shouldn't be incompatible, since the whole snake-father business, but if she's really a goddess... I don't know how effective it'd be to be under another god's protection, let alone one from another world. [ It's complicated. And well. He doesn't even want to offer his services to the witch. ]
