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!)

[ 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]

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]

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]

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]

If only it were so easy to gain access to our magic.

[oncefallen]

If only.

[Oh, the things he would do if he had it.]

[antemeridian]

[ let vanis fuck things up 2k25 ... ]

Do you feel any better, though? How much time has this stunt bought you?

[oncefallen]

[Let him tell you about what he just did in canon--]

That I'm not sure. It should help at least somewhat, but without more mana, I'll still find myself depleted by the end of the week.

[It kind of sucks when your self-recharge function is broken, honestly...]

[antemeridian]

[ don't have to tell her that, as i stare into the distance at all the softer/nicer icons i couldn't use for the entirety of the second half of last week ]

Is death what occurs should you run out, or should we be concerned about something even worse?
