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!

[He steps into one of the rooms and the door locks behind him.
While many of the polaroids are playing out unfortunate moments in Brad's life- most of which will be familiar to Cain, if he so chooses to peek in- one of them is something that even Cain hasn't seen. And it's the one that Brad is staring at.
On a snowy path, Brad is pinned down with magic from a rather unassuming-looking man while a pair of twins are laughing and flinging spells at a group of retreating men and women. The man pinning Brad down with magic is also sending spells that way, but less frequently, as his primary focus is Brad. Every so often, one of the retreating people gets hit by a spell and crumbles away into pieces of stone.
Brad looks desperate and is trying to get free from the spell, but no matter how hard he tries he is still stuck.]
"Let 'em go! You're after me, right? So just let 'em go! They ain't hurtin' nobody, this was all my plan! You don't gotta do this!"
[ The twins continue their attack, practically hunting the dwindling remains of Brad's men, as they giggle and respond to Brad in a singsong voice:]
"No way! You tried to steal from the king, so broke the rules~"
"You crossed the line this time~"
"Thankfully our little informant helped us out, and now you won't be a problem anymore~"
[Brad's screaming falls on deaf ears as every one of his treasured friends died and turned to stone. And as he was dragged back to Central's prison, he could only think of one thing: who sold them out? Who betrayed his bandits?
Who did he have to kill to make this right?]
no subject
Just by nature of living in the hall for longer than most means Cain sort of knew about this. He knew Bradley was a prisoner. He knew the twins were involved, somehow. And a nice reminder that the twins are Northern, at the end of the day.
There's one face he isn't really expecting, though.
Cain stands in the doorway, arms folded, look of concern on the polaroids. ]
...This is awful.
no subject
It's how things are. The strong don't want someone getting stronger than 'em.
Owen once told them that Mithra and Oz had done things far worse than I ever had, and that they should be in prison too. Snow and White didn't have an answer for that.
no subject
But they put you in jail instead? Because you were a bandit?
[ In Cain's human mindset, it makes sense. But in his wizard mindset, bandits seem so...minor, in the grander scheme of things. Is it different when he's a bandit wizard? ]
no subject
[He's not directly saying that he was made an example of, but every witch and wizard alive 100 years ago knew that's exactly what happened. Snow and White could never find the wizards responsible for the massacre, so who better to throw the book at and placate the humans with than a bandit who could eventually overpower them?
As Brad brings it up, one of the other polaroids starts showing that moment. Brad, tied up and on trial, with countless humans calling for his head, while Snow and White 'benevolently' threw him into prison instead.]
no subject
...Of course. He and Bradley are a lot alike, but Bradley's still a Northerner, at the end of the day.
The movement in the corner of his eye brings his attention back, and he frowns. He gets it. He gets it, and that's why he feels so conflicted. ]
...Right.
[ He'll step in side, and place a hand on Bradley's shoulder. A quiet little way of saying, I don't hold it against you right now. ]
And you've been their prisoner for a hundred years. [ Slotting it together. ] ...They haven't treated you like that the whole time, have they?
no subject
[Little brats who poke and prod at insecurities. They absolutely tear Brad down whenever they can, and they have been throwing him back into jail after every Calamity for a while now. It's only recently that he's been free of prison outside of when they have to fight the Calamity.]
They're just annoying now though, it's like they lost their fangs but not their sass.
no subject
But he absolutely believes they can be nasty. ]
I wonder if they'd be worse if the Calamity wasn't so dangerous this year...
[ You know, with other things to worry about and all. ]
But you're almost done with your time, right? Has all your community service brought your pardon forward any?
