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! )

That'd be weird to think about with such an aging old man. Anyway, he's been dead for awhile now.

[fourtuity]

[ Almost unconsciously, her eyes stray to the polaroids. But just as quickly, she looks away again. ]

...That's a lot of dead people.

cw casual attitude about death?

[snakeblood]

Hah? People die. That's what they do. You know there's more dead people than anyone living.

[fourtuity]

...Yeah, I know. [ He's still alive though, her mind adds.

Now that she's aware of the polaroids presence again, her mood noticeably dampens.]

[snakeblood]

Stop looking if it depresses you so much.

[fourtuity]

Then why are you still here?

[snakeblood]

[ ... ]

Just wondering if this is the last I'll see him.

[fourtuity]

[ 🧍‍♀️ ]

What? No way, why would you wanna remember that as the last?

[snakeblood]

If we get out of here, and as much time passed as how many ever loops we've experienced, it could really be the last.

[ He doesn't seem that gutted about it, but he's more somber than usual. ]

[fourtuity]

[ She doesn't really wanna remember that crystal call... ]

Oh right, you cursed him or something.

[snakeblood]

Incidentally.

[fourtuity]

Isn't the end result still cursing him? Not that I know how that works.

[snakeblood]

You don't have to belabor the point.

[fourtuity]

Right, right.

[ She seems to consider all that for a moment. ]

Well, we don't know for sure how time works here. So I guess that makes him something of a Schrödinger's cat until we do.

[snakeblood]

That's true. [ He sighs. ] Except we're the ones in the box, I guess.

[fourtuity]

Oh. [ Yikes? She wants to deny it, but the more she thinks about it, the more she can see the argument that this is a cat box. Wow, she hates that. ]

I guess we could also be the cats here. Heck, you were one.

[snakeblood]

We're the ones trapped and isolated, so yeah. It makes more sense we're the ones in the box, doesn't it?

[fourtuity]

Yeah, but that means we're the ones in the state between living and dead.

[snakeblood]

Isn't that actually true, too? Who's to say we aren't already dead and the "dead" ones here haven't gone back to "real life"?

[fourtuity]

[ She can't immediately refute that. ] It's...possible...

[ There's a moment of silence while she mulls over what to say. ]

I heard of someone who died, but created some sorta temporal paradox to negate that death. But until it was set up, I guess they were something like a walking Schrödinger's cat.

[snakeblood]

[ Wut? That kind of stuff is totally beyond him. ] Sounds complicated.

[fourtuity]

Tell me about it. I don't even really get it myself? Just guessing based on hearsay. [ She sighs. ] But it does make me wonder if something like that's happening here.

[snakeblood]

Might as well be the same as this magic shit anyway, right.

[fourtuity]

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". Or something like that.

[snakeblood]

I guess that's not wrong...? [ Looking at people thinking his spiritual stuff is magic for some reason?? ]
