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! )

[ Her hands feel cold and clammy at the sight of all this, but Clover does her best to ignore it, walking over to crouch down next to him. There's...a lot to unpack here, but the most important thing right now is to get Junior out of the room. ]

...You aren't. You want to do other things, don't you, Junior?

[ The priority is to seek a way out. If he doesn't want to talk about it, she shouldn't ask. She keeps telling herself that, trying not to hold her breath. ]

[Junior flinches at the sound of Clover's voice, but fortunately he doesn't snap out a weapon like he did when he was surprised last week. He just stares at her with a mix of fear, helplessness, and desperation.]

I don't...I don't want to be a sacrifice.

[Not for someone's idea of the greater good. Not for anything. His fingers dig into his arms, crushing the fabric underneath them.]

I just want a chance to be me.

[ She nods, adjusting her legs so she can sit down. If she's blocking pictures from view...then that's fine for now, maybe? ]

Yeah, you should be you. So...can you tell me more about what you want to be you? Whatever you can think of.

[What he wanted to be? What did he want? For as long as he could remember, everything he did was just about the mission. Just about being the best little soldier he could be. Because that's what everyone wanted of him. So, wasn't that what he'd wanted, too, by extension? That's how he'd always looked at things. But now...everything was different. Everything was confusing.]

I just want to be someone that some person out there might call family. And I want to be someone that can make that person happy. But I don't know how to do that.

You already are. Someone like that, I mean.

[ She listens to all of that as patiently as she can, trying to push down her anger at this situation. It's hard, but she doesn't want to blow her top hereβ€”she's certainly not mad at him. But how fucked up is this? No matter what excuses they give, experimenting on kids like this is just plain wrong and nothing will convince her otherwise. For the greater good, her ass.

Not the time for that though. She continues talking, keeping as direct an eye contact as she can. ]


You know, I've been thinking, "ahh, it would be so nice if I had a cute little brother like you". And I'm willing to bet thirty marshmallows that if we asked everyone else in the suite, they'd also say something like that. Or maybe son?

[ Their ages are really all over the place after all... ]

Anyway! You're always so sweet and thoughtful, and we can all see that. So...yeah, I just want you to know that you already are someone like that. And if you wanna say more, that's totally fine too. I've got all day.

[ Well, she'd rather they'd get the heck out of this room first, but it's the spirit of the thing. ]

Really?

[If he was someone that people would accept and cherish, then why did he still feel like this? Would he ever truly feel like he belonged--or was it impossible, given the nature of what he was versus who? Swallowing, he reaches out to take one of Clover's hands, just wanting to hold it.]

Thank you...thank you for saying those things.

[Maybe he was incapable of being normal, and maybe he'd always have it in him to hurt the people that mattered to him the most. But he really, really hoped that things could be different. He hoped he never made her hate him.]

I'd like to leave.
fourtuity: (did someone say exposition)

[personal profile] fourtuity 2025-03-30 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ She'll reach out to take his hand as well, squeezing lightly. With how relatively normal her life is outside those games, she probably isn't the best person to try to empathize with him here. But she wants to try anyway because it's him and it hurts to see him like this. ]

Yeah. I know there's no clear answers to every question you have right now... But I can say for sure that I care about you and what happens to you. And I'd like to know more stuff about what you likeβ€”chocolate or strawberries? Favorite color. Stuff like that.

[ Now that he's saying that though, she does start standing up, making sure not to let go of his hand. ]

Right, let's get going. Little brothers shouldn't stay here.
