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!)

[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.

[antline]

...

Then why didn't Ayaka and Richard say that in trial?

[objetdevanite]

Well, why would they?

Now they get two wishes if they actually manage to win their Grail War. You're welcome, I fucking guess.

[antline]

...

[He sort of understands, sort of doesn't.]

Siffrin died.

[Maybe Shiv is trying to make herself the victim. Maybe Ayaka and Richard were in the right.]

[But Siffrin died.]

[objetdevanite]

Yeah. Siffrin didn't deserve any of that shit. Can we all at least agree that Siff didn't deserve that shit?

[divineth]

[Urianger is closing his eyes so heavily at this entire fucking mess.]

We may.

[Shiv had it coming as they've now learned, but for the Twelve's sake.]

[remainsilent]

[ Same... ]

[oncefallen]

[Yeah... yeah...]

[objetdevanite]

I did that.

At least I only got one person killed who I didn’t mean to.

[antline]

It could have been anyone else. It could have been me. It could have been you. But either way, it wasn't the truth.

[ocenon]

[ haha yeah she's right though! ]

[the_obedient_servant]

You, at best, only get around 30% of the credit.

[antemeridian]

[ girls, girls, if you both actually care about the wish then you're both complete fools.

ultimately, she doesn't say anything. it's not her place to speak, and people can make their own mistakes. certainly Siobhan Roy has realized at least part of the error she made, and Ayaka and Richard will have to live with the consequences of their decisions as well. ]

[remainsilent]

That is for them to answer.

[simulacres]

Because I wasn’t going to let him sacrifice himself for me. One way or another, we were all going to have to vote for one person.

[ … ]

He saved my life. I wasn’t going to let him throw it away for me.

[antline]

It was selfish of you, Ayaka. Even I...understand that much.

[It's not a judgement. He's just stating a fact.]

[simulacres]

I know. I had hoped you guys would vote for me instead, but… it didn’t work out that way.

[ and richard would have never let her take the fall for him if she simply confessed. ]

[antline]

You killed two people. Shiv, to protect yourself. Siffrin, to protect yourself. You made that decision. Humans are complicated. I cannot say...what is right and wrong, but...

[It feels wrong.]

[objetdevanite]

And you killed me for it.

[ Like in the mirror hall, it's a cold anger. It's unlike anything that others have heard before. The blade trembles more obviously in G'raha's hands, as if wanting to fling itself at her. ]

... I don't care if she did or didn't attack you first. But I shouldn't have had to die in anyone's place.

[simulacres]

I know that.

[ she has no argument for that. ]

I’m not proud of it. But I’m not apologizing for it anymore.

[objetdevanite]

[ Too bad G'raha has an iron grip on this knife now, because it just about tugs itself out to do exactly what it wants-- ]

I hope your wish comes back to bite you.

[allrounder]

[ He’s holding onto that knife tight. Good thing he’s got a great grip. ]

[arbalestrier]

[He’s been wondering what happened with that case, but admittedly this was not what he had been expecting.

He just kind of watches this situation quietly from the side.]

[objetdevanite]

[ ...

this hat says nothing. ]
