WEEK FOUR

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!)

Oh....Dan Heng. You're quite pretty.

[He just means that in an appreciative way, Blade do not kill him,]

Yes. I did. Then I read about it.

I- thanks?

[ He's too much of a nerd for this. ]

I see. I suppose the name can be misleading. [ He will be nice because it's Sariel ]

[personal profile] antline 2025-03-31 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome.

[:)]

Yes. Humans give strange names for a lot of things. Like..."klutz". A clumsy person.

[ Help ]

There are quite a few strange word for things. [ Does the word klutz exist in hsr? ] I wonder if there's a book here that explains the origin of the word?
antline: (pharoah)

[personal profile] antline 2025-04-01 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. It would be interesting to find out.

[But anyways...]

[Holding out a teacup. For you!]

[personal profile] remainsilent 2025-04-01 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
We can try looking for it later.

[ Taking the teacup. ]

What other terms are you curious about?
antline: (carpenter)

[personal profile] antline 2025-04-01 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm.

[Hmmmm.]

When someone says "hold your horses" but you don't have any. Why do they say that?

[personal profile] remainsilent 2025-04-01 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Thinking of Boothill ]

I believe it comes from a world where they used horses for transportation. There are these reins you pull on or hold to slow them down.
antline: (pavement)

[personal profile] antline 2025-04-01 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
So it...means...to "slow down"? I thought it meant to hold some horses up.

[personal profile] remainsilent 2025-04-02 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
That's right. [ March? ] You...didn't try to actually hold horses before, right?
antline: (army)

[personal profile] antline 2025-04-02 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't find any to hold.

[sips his tea]

What are you, Dan Heng?

[personal profile] remainsilent 2025-04-02 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ an idiot sandwich ]

If you are referring to my appearance, than I am a member of the Vidyadhara species. We're...descendants of a dragon.
antline: (pharoah)

[personal profile] antline 2025-04-02 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[:3]

Oh, a dragon? How interesting. [Explains the dragon from before, too.] Is Blade one, too?
remainsilent: <user name="sonea"> (pic#17726148)

[personal profile] remainsilent 2025-04-02 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
No, he's...something else. [ That is for Blade to share. Taking a drink of his tea. ] Do you mind if I return the question to you?
antline: (citronella)

[personal profile] antline 2025-04-02 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
No, I don't mind.

[A little pause.]

I'm a fallen angel. A primal beast.
