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!)

[ what horrors is this neutralized creepypasta going to find. ]

[safetycheck]

[ Who knows? She might want to be careful that she doesn't trip on the person on the floor, though. ]

[simulacres]

Lili!

[ she shrieks, dropping to the floor to take a look at her. how does lili look? ]

[safetycheck]

[ Ayaka will remember that Lili looked a bit malnourished on arrival. That seems to not be the case right now, at least, but it does not change the fact that she is very pale.

Nor has she responded to Ayaka's shrieking. ]

[simulacres]

[ ayaka looks around her wildly, unsure of what to do. she'll hold her hand, checking for temperature and pulse. ]

Lili?! Stay with me! Wake up! Wake up, Lili! [ and then at the top of her lungs she'll scream: ] HELP!

[safetycheck]

[ Temperature may be a bit off but there is a pulse. Lucky you! ]

[simulacres]

[ is she cold? hot? ]

[safetycheck]

[ Cold! But considering she's just. Deadass on the floor like this, that's a probable explanation... ]

[ocenon]

[ Yeah, hi, he's busting in here. Please excuse the leather ensemble, as this ain't about that right now. ]

What happened?

[ HE'S RUSHING DOWN TO THE TWO OF THEM......... ]

[simulacres]

I think she's sick?! I don't know, I remember that when she came here at first she didn't have a lot to eat but she's cold and... I don't know, what can we do?

[ ayaka's trying to hold her close in order to keep her warm, but besides that, she doesn't really have any medical knowledge or anything of the sort. ]

Can she lay down somewhere?

[ocenon]

There's fireplaces upstairs, right? She needs to at least warm up.

[ he's not a healer, don't @ him. if no one with a better idea comes in shortly, Richard's going to try and take her up to... the Mars Room upstairs, since it's the closest room to the stairs with one there. ]

[simulacres]

I'll follow you!

[ she may not be as fast as richard, but she will keep up the pace all the way to the mars room. ]

[safetycheck]

[ Off to the room they go!!

She is still passed out but warming up is a good idea. Yay! ]

[simulacres]

[ ayaka's not sure what to do. she's sitting close to the fireplace with lili's head propped up on her lap, running her fingers through her hair.

is there anything else visible on her? is she at least getting some color back? ]

[safetycheck]

[ Slowly but surely, she is! Good job Ayaka! NO SHIP BTW ]

[ocenon]

[ Once he put Lili down by the fire so Ayaka can resume her ship-building, Richard moves a bit away so to as not crowd them. ]

Does she seem to be improving?

[simulacres]

She looks a little better.

[ it's not like ayaka can do much else? richard did all he could too. all they can do is wait to see if someone else comes to help. ]

Aside from the hunger, did she ever look sick to you guys in Primrose?

[ocenon]

Not that I can recall, no.

[ Unless he just wasn't paying attention? But he's pretty sure she's been fine every time they've woken up at the start of the week, so it can't be that...

He stands in the doorway, looking out into the ballroom, hopefully someone had seen them hurriedly heading up here... ]

[allrounder]

Is everything alright? I saw the rush here and...

[ He looks inside, spotting Ayaka with Lili.

Oh. This... is very, very bad. ]

What transpired?

[antemeridian]

[ by popular demand by which i mean i'm being bullied into this

Homura, as it happens, is just delicately trying to maneuver her way into her weekly Mars Room visit, which is ... taking more doing than usual due to the outfit she's stuck in, only to ...

come across all this. ]

What is... what happened?

[ obviously she's not dead, everyone would be a lot more panicked if she was, but even so... ]

[allrounder]

They came upon her unresponsive, it seems.

[ Come on Homura, run on in here with him!! ]

[ocenon]

We're not sure. Ayaka found her in the banquet hall, unresponsive and cold, but she seems to be showing signs of improvement since coming up here.

[ COME ON IN GANG!!!! ]

[objetdevanite]

[Whenever Lili awakes, she'll likely notice that the ring is gone. Maybe it fell off in the banquet hall.]

[safetycheck]

[ A TRAVESTY? Can she search for it when/if she wakes up or is it just gone. ]

[objetdevanite]

[She's free to look! She'll find it in the hallway outside of the banquet hall. It's almost like it's trying to escape somewhere.]
