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!

It sounds almost similar in practice to being Marastruck, though he doesn't think it is the type to incur such terribly similar reactions from just being witnessed - it could, because there is a mental aspect to it. But, not all at once. ]
This can still persist among your people? Or did you find permanent resolution?
...Being Marastruck can cause the same. A change into an abomination.
no subject
The influence of dynamis is typically not quite so noticeable, however the flow of aether had been disrupted and that resulted in the strengthening of dynamis.
[ There's... a lot more to it, but he thinks that's a sufficient explanation. ]
We managed to defeat the source of such despair, you are correct.
no subject
Speaking of explanations, though, there is one final thread to inquire about, and so he does.
Because he speaks of defeat, but not exactly what it was, so... ]
What was the source?
[ A monster? Or something that was a bit more...harder to define as an enemy. A metaphysical enemy of some kind? A god? ]
no subject
[ His gaze travels to the photo with he and his friends slowly perishing in the depths of space.
He has a feeling that Blade will ask, so he continues: ]
She was sent out to scout other stars and report on civilizations. Having found nothing but despair, she succumbed to it herself. With despair so great, created the end of days for star after star, and it eventually traveled to Etheirys.
[ There's...... so much more to it, too, but not even G'raha knows everything that the Warrior of Light does. He never lived those details quite so intimately, having only heard it second hand. ]
no subject
Sure is something. She sounds more than a simple existence; that is on the level of an Aeon, for sure. ]
...Your home world.
[ ... ]
Good that it was settled, even though the source was powerful. And complicated to deal with.
[ Because that is one hell of a resume for an enemy to have. Bringing the apocalypse to worlds and still being brought to heel. Never let it be said no one on Etheirys lacks in strength. ]
no subject
[ It was a battle of wills of the purest sort, using dynamis to feed hope into the environment to counter the despair.
To move forward. ]
I was fortunate enough that the Warrior of Light told me of how it came to an end. His stories of love and connection brought her to an understanding—hope was on Etheirys all along, it simply needed to be built. She used the last of her will to spring forth life within the stars again. It will take time, but I am certain that stars devastated by grief and despair will one day contain hope.
no subject
Though, on the flipside, the incident itself somehow balances itself out by sounding like a complete nightmare before that point. Funny how that works? ]
...his stories of love and connection. He must have been compelling.
[ Okay, maybe he is not that type of person for that stuff still, but he can be grateful, for G'raha's sake. ]
If she restored life, then eventually it would come back. Though, I'm not sure how it would look.
[ There's another pause on his end and he looks towards the door. ]
...But, if what you said is true - and all of these, including this one - are fears you've moved past, then...you're ready to leave this room.
Aren't you?
no subject
[ It's strange, the way he would have sounded much more enamored only a few weeks ago as he spoke of the man. But now? He's fully settled on his contentedness with friendship. It's freeing, more than anything.
He smiles, only a soft upwards turn of his lips. ]
I daresay your assessment is correct. I still hold these fears within my heart, and I occasionally wake in the dead of night as a result of their intrusion into my dreams, however...
They are nothing more than fears.
no subject
That being said, the answer G'raha gives is exactly the kind he's been looking for. ]
...That's all they are.
[ They will stay. Maybe as proof that life is no simple matter.
But, they can ultimately be surmounted, again and again. At least...that's what he's learned. ]
Time to leave them behind, then. This is no place to linger.
[ The road ahead remains beyond the door - and he will move towards it, expecting the other to follow. ]
no subject
[ He certainly doesn't want to linger himself, and so he'll gladly follow Blade out the door. ]
As always, your assistance means the world to me, friend.
