WEEK FOUR

25 Guests

The day is rung in by a myriad clocks tolling at once.
It's a familiar sound. It's the first time you're hearing it.

Once again, Monday is upon you, and once again you have just arrived at the castle to meet your new roommates. The last week is gone without a trace - nothing there to remind you of its existence. Injuries have been replaced with the old aches you may have felt before coming here, keepsakes have vanished and decorations have returned to their original state.

Formally, this is a clean slate and a fresh start. But that's not how it feels in your mind - your bodies may be rewound, but your hearts are steadily continuing, carrying the weight of a time that never was.

As always, the castle is new and old at once. Static, yet ever-changing. The curious minds among you may find it a good idea to explore a little.

TIME LOOP:

-Characters wake up with the clothes they had with them at their canon point, like in the intro log unless you wish to have them affected by the weekly effect as early as Monday.
-The state of their bodies is still exactly the same as it was on the intro log (for better or worse). This is independent of the weekly effect.
-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:
- garden, library, promenade
- aquarium → wintering room
- photography studio → tea room

WEEKLY EFFECT

This week the castle's whims have decided to put on a little fashion show! Characters may awaken to find themselves dressed in an outfit that they have once worn... or an outfit that they might have worn, in a future that has never come to pass. These clothes are not period-accurate and instead reflect the characters' own lives and thus worlds! It's time to shine in an outfit you absolutely love - or absolutely loathe!

The drawback is that these magical clothes also cannot be removed until sundown. Whatever outfit you woke up in? You're stuck in it! The only way to escape your dress-up fate is to damage the clothing, but if you do so you'll find yourself stuck naked until the beginning of the next day. The castle's strange properties do at least provide a little cloud of mist that will follow characters around for modesty reasons.

The new clothes will remain after the day of their appearance. They'll lose all strange properties and become garments that can simply be worn or discarded at will, like all other clothing.

(OOC: Counter proposals are open until Tuesday! Murder proposals are closed! Thank you all for your enthusiasm!)

[ ayaka wonders if she has the equivalent of a radar now but she’s not going to question it. ]

Do you want to go somewhere?

[ she’s talking to an object. maybe having the red hood just makes her more susceptible to mental instability, who knows. ]

[objetdevanite]

[ the hat says nothing, however, it will wriggle at her question.

acknowledgement? ]

[simulacres]

This is kind of weird. Do you want to go to the library?

[objetdevanite]

[ the hat says nothing.

though it does shift from one side to the other. ]

[simulacres]

...... I guess I wouldn't do any good any a seance. I wonder if I can make a Ouija board for you? Let me just get out of here first, and then we can talk. I don't have good memories of this place.

[ even if time turns back, the image of what she saw in the salon will remain in her mind. she's going towards the banquet hall and setting it down. and sitting down on the floor with it.

she places her hands down on the floor in front of the hat. ]

Okay. My left hand is 'yes', my right hand is 'no'. Can you move towards the left hand?

[objetdevanite]

[ the hat will shuffle to her left hand. ]

[simulacres]

[ okay. this is so stupid, but she'll vibe with it. ]

Do you want to give me a message?

[objetdevanite]

[ the hat will rock back and forth near her left hand. ]

[simulacres]

Jeez. Last time I was being haunted, she could at least talk. Though at least I only found the hat this time and not... [ she shakes her head. ] It doesn't matter.

[ ... ]

Am I being haunted by Sabo's ghost right now?

[objetdevanite]

[ once again, the hat rocks back and forth.

perhaps a bit more sluggish this time. whose to say. ]

[simulacres]

...

[ ... ]

Okay, what do you need? If you want to give me a message, I'm going to need to write it out, so... paper and pencil? Yes or no.

[objetdevanite]

[ ...

... more rocking back and forth. ]

[simulacres]

This is gonna be difficult, I can already tell.

[ she's taking the hat to the billards room! for paper and ink! and she is taking a LOT of paper. scribbling on each sheet the english alphabet, plus yes and no.

that's right totally not naru, we're ouija board-ing this. ]

I've never done a seance, but I'm used to being a ghost story myself, so I guess it's fitting in a way. Sorry, I wish I were smarter.

[objetdevanite]

[ sobbing.

but, well, what is a hat to do in a situation like this other than vibe here. ]

[simulacres]

[ she will arrange the letters in the room, hopefully with enough space that she can walk by it. ]

Move when I place you over a letter that you need. Then I'll write it down. And then we'll start again.

[ and so she will pick up the hat and start hovering the hat over each letter, waiting for a few seconds each time to see if the hat reacts. ]

[objetdevanite]

[ how is this now my life?

truly why am i being punished this way? either way, the hat will wriggle over the letter "h". ]

[simulacres]

[ okay hold on she's setting you down to write the letter on paper. i'm gonna make this a torture for you, totally-not-naru.

'h'.

okay, she's back to pick the hat up. once again, the cycle resumes from the start. ]

[objetdevanite]

[ this is undeserved but somehow still effective even tho this is pain.

but when she gets to the letter "e", the hat will wriggle again. ]

[simulacres]

[ 'he...' ]

I hope you're not just writing 'hello'. But if you are, hello.

[ but she'll return and start the process again! ]

[objetdevanite]

[ fortunately(?) it doesn't seem to be the case as the next time the hat wriggles is over the letter "d".

though perhaps the hat is happy to be greeted. whose to say. ]

[simulacres]

[ 'hed...' ]

Oh okay. Um...

[ hmm, she's at a loss for what it could be. another round! ]

[objetdevanite]

[ well, the next letter that the hat reacts to is "g".

would ayaka like to make a guess? ]

[simulacres]

[ oh. ]

The hedge? You want to go there?

[objetdevanite]

[ ...

the hat doesn't move for a while before a slight title towards her right hand. ]

[simulacres]

Well good, because neither do I.

[ ... ]

I'm sorry.
