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 β†’ wintering room
- photography studio β†’ 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!)

Did you poison her?

[Two different responses.]
oncefallen: (Default)

[personal profile] oncefallen 2025-04-01 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Not at all. I would never do anything of the sort.

[And we love Sousuke for it.]
arbalestrier: (➡ m4a1)

[personal profile] arbalestrier 2025-04-01 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Then what were you doing to her?

[He offered her food and she choked on it? Exercise session gone wrong?? Vanis made Ish angry so Lili was rendered unconscious out of spite???]
oncefallen: (10)

[personal profile] oncefallen 2025-04-01 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Taking mana, but only a small amount. It shouldn't have been enough to cause that.

[Countdown until Vanis has to explain JRPG concepts to Sousuke--]

He slowly tries to make sense of it.]

2/2 cw: mention of cannibalism (i'm sorry)

[personal profile] arbalestrier 2025-04-01 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
...She was feeding you with her body?!

[The bible passage about manna was about eating flesh or something, right??]
arbalestrier: (➡ fn p90)

[personal profile] arbalestrier 2025-04-01 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Stares at this reaction.

...

...

...]


Are you sure?
safetycheck: (lili019)

cw cannibalism ment

[personal profile] safetycheck 2025-04-01 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! It's like – energy or something? Not my actual body!
arbalestrier: (➡ cz 75)

[personal profile] arbalestrier 2025-04-01 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Ah.

[Sweat starts to gather on his forehead. Which really isn't helped by the bodysuit he's wearing but he would've been sweating regardless.]

It appears I misunderstood. I'm glad it wasn't anything serious.
oncefallen: (13)

don't be sorry I'm howling

[personal profile] oncefallen 2025-04-01 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
In a certain sense of the word, though it's more accurate to say "soul".

[Can he make this worse? HE SURE CAN.]

[ she's just going to glance sharply over at this from wherever she is in the room because hello what. ]

... You are capable of feeding on such a thing here, despite all of us being as we are?

[ wdym you can still be a magic vampire even though they're depowered ]
oncefallen: (9)

[personal profile] oncefallen 2025-04-01 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps "soul" is too strong a word. Even if I were capable of doing that, consuming an actual soul would turn me into a demon.
antemeridian: (↻ how does a dream unravel)

[personal profile] antemeridian 2025-04-01 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
I am familiar with the concept of the soul fueling magic. It needn't be the entire thing.

What I was more getting at was ... I was under the impression we could not access anything related to that sort of thing while on this side of the mirrors. That it was all inert, and that we couldn't do anything regarding it.

[ so like. did it even work? or did they do an experiment and knock out lili only for his snack to be magically inedible. ]
oncefallen: (10)

[personal profile] oncefallen 2025-04-01 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't as effective as it should have been, which may explain part of why what happened happened. My actual magic all remains sealed as well.

[Sad trombone.]
antemeridian: (↻ genuinely immensely)

[personal profile] antemeridian 2025-04-01 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
If only it were so easy to gain access to our magic.

[The good news: he knows what a soul is!
The bad news: he thinks this is metaphorical.]


What does that entail?

[Don't mind him, he's just imagining gory scenes inappropriate for children.]
oncefallen: (8)

[personal profile] oncefallen 2025-04-01 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha... I'll let you use your imagination for that.

[Honestly, that's mostly because he's getting the sense that whatever Sousuke's imagination comes up with will be hilarious.]

[personal profile] arbalestrier 2025-04-01 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[If Lili wasn't being relatively chill about this (by which I mean she wasn't screaming murder), then Sousuke most likely would have already pulled out a gun or knife by now. But now he just falls silent as sweat rolls down his face in what is probably an imagining of the worst-case scenario.]

[personal profile] arbalestrier 2025-04-01 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[That's right, they hadn't really checked for any injuries under her clothes.]

I'll need to do an examination.

[Someone please smack some sense into him.]
