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! )

It's like a scale. Everything evens out.

[ this makes perfect sense to her, unfortunately. ]

A magical girl who wishes to spread hope must shoulder the burden of the equivalent amount of suffering on herself. That sort of thing... just more strictly codified, it seems.

[Andrew and the magpie on her shoulder both lift their heads simultaneously.]

Is that what he's trying to do? Quite literally.

He's meant to bring others happiness; I'd even wager he could be much better at it than causing suffering if he put any effort into it. He genuinely seemed to like those overgrown ro- [deep inhale] - capybaras. I thought it was just to make us feel worse later, but if it's closer to what you're talking about...

Well, even if that's true, I don't know that it brings us closer to anything.

[antemeridian]

What are you suggesting, exactly? That he is making a token effort at making us happy to satisfy the restrictions of his own magic when he attempts to accomplish— whatever he is trying to, each week with the carnivals? I'd thought the tokens he was giving out were meant to be the compensation, but...

[ hmmm. the thermodynamics of magic, everyone. homura's own blackbird is sitting alert, taking in the goings on with little overt reaction.

this week's photo gallery is also not exactly something intended to bring happiness, it feels like. ]

Or are you suggesting that he is trying to have us shoulder the brunt of the suffering in his stead for whatever 'happiness' he's trying to invoke elsewhere?

[ revival, happiness, those two things must correlate in someone's mind if you think abstractly and in far removed enough terms, right? ]

[distain]

The second, if that is anything close to what you described. Or perhaps that we're a corollary of sorts... a "catalyst?"

[Normie theorizing with magicians is difficult, so she's trying to weigh this as a normal human. How does the average person see the weight of happiness against the weight of suffering?

If happiness is his specialty, maybe it comes easier.] There are two sides to just about everything to do with him.

[A walking contradiction, she's thought of him more than once.]

[ocenon]

The latter seems more likely... doesn't it?

[ You can't have the lows without the highs, after all. ]
