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!)

...Sousuke? Ayaka?

[ LOOKING AROUND? WHY ARE YOU ALL HERE? ]

Wait...where's Vanis?

[simulacres]

Vanis?

[ like, don't get her wrong, she's relieved, but... ]

I found you in the banquet hall... you were passed out. What happened?

[arbalestrier]

[Very seriously:]

Is he dead? Poisoned by whatever toxin you were afflicted with?

[safetycheck]

Dead...?! I hope not...!

[ STILL VERY GROGGY BUT... ]

[arbalestrier]

Hmm...

[As he ponders on what could have happened, he looks over at Vanis waltzing in.]

Oh, you're alive.

[oncefallen]

[He sure is, unfortunately for everyone here.]

Hello to you too, Sousuke.

[arbalestrier]

[A nod in acknowledgement!]

It's good you're safe. We have questions for you.

[said ominously!!! and then I move down a thread]

1/2 please wait warmly

[safetycheck]

I...passed out...? Oh...I guess so...

[ despite the icon she is very groggy and tired and probably hungry, yeah....but. ]

Well –

2/2

[oncefallen]

[He's just passing by but huh, that sure is quite a crowd gathering in the Mars Room there...]

Oh? Did I miss the invitation to the party?

[Hi guys, what's up?]

[simulacres]

.....................

Vanis, can you please explain why Lili was passed out in the banquet hall. You have one minute.

[oncefallen]

Passed out...?

[He sounds confused for approximately two seconds.]

... oh dear. That wasn't supposed to happen.

[Vanis, that's not an explanation.]

[simulacres]

Explain. Better. Now.

[oncefallen]

Miss Lili offered me some mana earlier. I thought it would be rude to refuse when she made the offer so genuinely, but I hadn't considered the effects her physical state at the beginning of the week might have had on her constitution.

[simulacres]

[ 'offered mana'.

vanis she is a fate/. ]

You mean like...

[ she actually will not complete the sentence, much less with saber around. ]

[ocenon]

[ IN PUBLIC?! ]

[remainsilent]

You should have known better.

[divineth]

For what purpose hath she supplied thee with mana?

[He's gathering that mana = aether here.

He's also giving Ayaka and Richard a weird look. Why are they so weirded out by it?]

[safetycheck]

[ just

STARING. ]

[oncefallen]

Are you feeling all right now, Miss Lili?

[WAO don't look at him like that??]

[allrounder]

[ Vanis, please!!! ]

You could stand to sound more concerned.

[oncefallen]

I am concerned.

[He says, in his normal tone which really does not sound that concerned at all--]

I didn't take enough that it should have had any effect on her, much less one that serious.

[arbalestrier]

Did you poison her?

[Two different responses.]

[oncefallen]

Not at all. I would never do anything of the sort.

[And we love Sousuke for it.]

[arbalestrier]

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]

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--]
