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 → 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.

I believe through something known as "tsukumogami".
[ this is above his pay grade, for once. ]
I'm not entirely certain what it is, but it's through our history, memories, and stories that we've finally gained the strength for this. Unfortunately, I don't know how long it'll last.

Cain can't look at him so he just stares at the far wall with a frown. ]
So everything that makes you, you, minus your bodies, manifested like this and appeared to us here.
[ He quirks a brow. ]
You're not going to disappear...for good after this, right? It's not your everything that's fueling this appearance, is it?
[ please don't do self sacrificial shite— ]

Thus why we need to negotiate in order to bring our bodies back. ...or so that's what we're being led to believe. I haven't been around long enough to question more of what I've been told.
[ which, honestly, doesn't suit him but there's little that he can do at this point. ]
I don't believe so, no. I'll just go back to the "other side" and leave my hat behind to whoever wants to keep it. [ so if cain wants it? though he's currently supposed to be with ayaka. ] It'll still remain my connection to this side, at the very least.
no subject
[ So it's more like a...familiar or a messenger than lingering magic in an item. Thank god. Mapping all this stuff to concepts he's more familiar with is tricky but that does give him a little relief.
Will he keep the hat? He's not really a hat guy. The other hat guy he knew is currently a knife. ]
So until you get your bodies back, you'll use this hat to talk to us? Can you talk to us whenever you want?
