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!)

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.

[ At this point, Blade comes in like a shadow, slipping one hand around one of Dan Heng's; he's been more of a barking dog than he has. Is it insurance? Is it to make sure he doesn't try anything reckless? Perhaps.

Pretend this is a bit earlier. ]

You've been working hard. You did well.

[ The truth is now out, though. His red eyes bright, but clear. No sign of insanity present. Perhaps that is what is even more disconcerting; it's maddening in a different way entirely. ]

...Just remember:

No one can run from their sins.

[ Not Shiv. Not Ayaka. Not Richard.

Then, he will whisper something into Dan Heng's ear. If he needs a "short walk" or...private time, Blade will offer himself. Things haven't yet escalated further, but once a certain time passes, he is sure it will (aka whenever the Knight comes in.) ]

[remainsilent]

[ He will take that hand and lace their fingers together. ]

I see you are using my tactic against me.

[ If he were more forthcoming, he would say he's proud Blade is learning. However, that isn't for everyone else to hear. ]

Are you sure you aren't using this as an excuse to show off? [ The offer is appreciated and he may take him up on it. ]

[baebladie]

[ Good, good...

In retrospect this ended up being a good idea because of whatever is happening later on, but you know. Hindsight is 20/20. ]

I'm a quick learner.

[ Blade states this like a fact.

But, even as he says so, he adds this: ]

Sometimes showing off is a waste of time. Spending time with you isn't.

[remainsilent]

[ Drama between Primrose's newest addition and Blade's carving teacher... yippee.

This is keeping him grounded and not jumping in to take any potential knife fights. ]

Indeed, that is true.

[ Both as Blade and...

The next part does have him quickly looking at Blade before looking away. Embarrassing. ]
