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!)

[A metallic huff escapes from the ring.]

Guess he wasn't noble enough to not let an innocent person die because he stabbed a civilian. Some fucking knight.

Well, Lili found my ring and hung onto it. Gave me a chance to be a fly on the wall for Sabo's little meeting and that last trial at least.

I didn't knock her unconscious, for the record. She just kinda did that.

[antline]

Knight...?

[????]

Oh. Good for her. Though not good she passed out, either.

[objetdevanite]

Oh. Yeah, can I name names? [The voice coming from the ring lowers into a stage whisper.] Just make sure Rich doesn't try to make me go up in flames by throwing my wedding ring into the fireplace or some shit. Apparently he set shit on fire?

I don't know why. It's like how some people start the week stabbed or starving, I guess. Tell her to take it easy. Nobody wants to be the guy who ends up in the ghost garden because of fucking malnutrition.

[antline]

R...

[?]


[????????????]

Richard?

[WHAT]

I...yes. Of course. I'll make sure...everyone eats.

[objetdevanite]

Yep. [The ring says flatly.] Technically he just finished it. Ayaka got the first stab in. It was all a massive fucking mess.

[antline]

[He goes very pale.]

Ayaka...?

[Her?]

[remainsilent]

She's leaving out details to paint herself out as some kind of victim.

[antline]

Ah...

[Now he's even more confused.]

So Ayaka and Richard...did not attack first?

[remainsilent]

They didn't. Your friend here lured Ayaka away from the library by pretending that someone may be coming for them both. I will let Ayaka and Richard explain their own sides better, but he was merely protecting someone important to him.

[simulacres]

You—

[ from under the hood, ayaka looks a cross between horrified and livid. ]

You were the one that attacked me!

[objetdevanite]

Hey, Ayaka.

[The ring perks up at the voice, albeit just as cold.]

You gonna give them the same sob story you gave Siffrin? "I'm so sowwy, I just had to let you get put down instead of my perfect little rabid guard dog!" Give it a fucking rest.

[simulacres]

He’s not my guard dog.

[ ayaka’s trying her best to keep her cool, but her hands are already shaking from fear and anger. ]

You tried to kill me. That dagger was yours, Siobhan, and you know it! If you had just left me alone this wouldn’t have happened!

[objetdevanite]

[That actually gets a laugh out of the ring.]

Yeah, you're right. I probably wouldn't have gotten stabbed if I picked someone without a bodyguard.

I didn't go after you because you're an easy target, Ayaka. Even if you do a great job acting like it.

No, I just don't fucking like you.

[ocenon]

[ hey, what's with the worst vibes imaginable that's been festering in the corner this whole time? ]

I'm sure being able to hide behind an object makes it easy to say such things, Siobhan. Perhaps when we've finished this you'd like to say it again?

[ gamers lets rollllllllllll ]

cw nsfw language i'm so sorry

[objetdevanite]

[A scoff with an edge of nervousness escapes from the ring.]

What, are you gonna kill me again? Careful you don't blow your load thinking about it before you get the chance.

Bet you felt real strong, seeing how fucking helpless I was once you showed up to save the day. And you nearly killed ten more people doing it. Great work, Rich.

[uiscebeatha]

[ Ooooooooooh boy!

Whenever Richard shows up, Cain's throwing him a Look.

Maybe he'll seek him out later for a little talk. ]

[remainsilent]

Convenient of you to leave the part about you targeting Ayaka out.

[objetdevanite]

[A little scoff escapes the ring.] Well, she could've self-defense killed me herself instead of hiding behind Sir Dick like usual. I'd be a little less pissed off if she did.

Still pissed. Since, you know. Stabbed to death.

[remainsilent]

Didn't you barricade the library up knowing he may come after you? Drop the victim act. You decided to act first.

[objetdevanite]

I'm literally a victim of getting stabbed by a psychopath. Whose first instinct seeing a woman bleeding out is to stab her in the fucking heart?

[remainsilent]

I'm not going to argue with you. You very well know why he did it.

[objetdevanite]

You'd make a great cop in my world, you know. Or a lawyer. Rich oughta pay you for making his case like this.

[antemeridian]

... Are you more angry about dying quickly to a third party than you are about doing so slowly to the one you targeted?

[ is pride the issue? ]

[objetdevanite]

Uh, yeah? It's fucked up! What, she needs a big strong man to save her and he gets to brutalize a woman to defend his lady's honor? It's so fucking transparent.

[antemeridian]

[ 'is that really your biggest concern as a dead person-' okay, no, she doesn't say that. ]

... I see. So, you dislike Ayaka for being what you see as weak.

[ no, that isn't quite right, is it? ]

Or. Rather. [ it's speculative, neutral, her tone. judgment is reserved; she's trying to understand. ] You think she is weaponizing that... is that correct? You dislike that she is the way she is, and that she, in your eyes, is using it to her advantage. That someone would defend her despite, or perhaps because of it.
