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! )

Hm. [It's a melodic, thoughtful hum.] Why not this one? Though, apparently, you should also have one for the moon and countless other stars...

[She flips a blurb describing the constellation Taurus and its various positions around, rotating the book for Dan Heng to peruse.]

It sounds like silly superstition to me so people can explain away things they don't like about themselves.

[remainsilent]

That sounds like an excuse to be right somewhere down the line of different signs.

[ He will read the information ]

That may be the case. Is there a sign that sounds like it'll suit you?

[distain]

People like to see things that confirm their expectations.

[A worldview is a hell of a drug. For many people, like her, that view is limited, so it's easy to develop biases and accept things as they are.]

I'm told I've been acting differently as of late. I can't tell if I'm going mad or if this is who I could've always been. Do you think that makes a difference -- if we change?

[remainsilent]

It would be more surprising if someone didn't change or act different after such these circumstances.

Good thing there are several different signs you can assign yourself. A sign for who you used to be and a sign for who you seem to be of late.

[distain]

That sounds like cheating. [If stars were as mutable as people, they might not have obtained such reverence. People might not look to the them for meaning the way they do even now.]

Perhaps this one... Though it could just be because I like the picture. [She shows him Virgo; the maiden depicted on the illustration bears a passing resemblance to Andrew but nothing specifically.]

Do you see any of your stars in this book?

[remainsilent]

They have that many signs for such a purpose. [ He isn't above cheating]

I can see why it would be appealing. [ You are so gay ]

I haven't found anything that looks familiar, but I do travel among the stars. They may look different being aboard the express.

[distain]

[Hey... gayness wasn't part of the horoscope presentation! Probably. Even if Virgo is a very gay sign.

Andrew folds the book closed. She can't be sure she's found an answer that fully satisfies her yet. maybe she never will, capricious as she is to a fault.]

I can only imagine what it's like to do that. For me, they have always been fixed and far away. Although... that's comforting, too, in some ways.
