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!)

[Seeing this, he's just going to reach out to find Sariel's hand and give it a squeeze.]

[antline]

[...He notices it, lets his hand squeeze it back, warmly.]

Thank you.

[oncefallen]

[He'll get one of those rare, genuine smiles in response.]

Of course.

[antline]

[He likes when Vanis smiles. It fits him.]

This is all very confusing. But I think we need to work to...get the dead back.

[oncefallen]

Hahaha... it will be breaking every natural law from my world, but... isn't that part of what choosing your own path is all about?

[antline]

Well, if its a law, I think they shouldn't be laws. That just makes people sad.

[People shouldn't be sad anymore.]

So yes. I think it is. I think you're right.

[oncefallen]

[He gives that hand another squeeze.]

To falling, then. And choosing our own fate.

[antline]

Yeah.

[He didn't technically "fall". He simply joined a group that was named as such, but...even so. What the man has been through, what he's been through, it feels similar.]

[He smiles.]

I hope we'll be happy. I want you to be happy.

[oncefallen]

I am. So that means you need to be happy too, to make it even.

[He'd burn down the entire world for this man if it came down to it.]

[antline]

Okay. I will do my best.

[He will work hard for this. He can't let Vanis down. Not when they trust each other like this.]

When we get out of here...what will happen, Vanis? Will you go back to your fallen angels?

[oncefallen]

I'll go back to where I was, with the demons. I don't hate it there, though-- there's never a dull moment.

[And he has Plans that he needs to see through, so! He's going to be there for as long as it's useful to him.]

But I'll come visit you whenever I have the chance.

[antline]

[He nods, understanding, but the last part comes as a little surprise, a practical ! above his head.]

Oh! Oh. You would? [Really?]

[oncefallen]

Haha, you didn't think I would? I'm hurt.

[Of course he would! Why would he not want to see Sariel more?]

[antline]

Oh! No, no. I know you might be busy, but...

[He smiles, wide. He's smiling a lot. He can't help it.]

I will do my best to...see you too. I will.

[oncefallen]

Then let's bring this all to a close so we can make that a reality.

[Bringing the dead back and all, if that's what it's going to involve. To him? That sounds like a fun challenge.]
