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 feel as though there is much I have to apologize for, but all of that can wait until we've made it across the finish line.
[ and as blade speaks to his wish, there's even more sentimentalness that leaks into his voice. ]
Yeah, I don't regret that single wish and for all that it was capable of doing on its own. [ with a bit of a huff. ] Besides! Imagine the work it would take if I had to account for something I only had the faintest idea of.
[ headache for him for real on levels that he wouldn't ever recover from. ...also that level of nuance would have absolutely caused things to be fucked. ]
That single wish has already brought enough people a fair amount of happiness.
[ ofc he says this long before siffrin stabs ayaka so he allowed to not have opinions of what all happens there. ]
no subject
'this wish has already brought happiness' ... that's how it always starts. 'this is the happiest moment of my life, i won't ever regret anything anymore.' always the same patterns...
well, it's his wish. and apparently he's even going to come back from it. ]
no subject
if only she would use her words. ]
no subject
this has nothing to do with her, after all. and he won't even face permanent consequences from it. happy endings to be found. a chemical process, enacted and reversed. simple equations.
plain and simple. ]

It can. Doubt it's much the time for it at the moment.
[ Nevermind the drama and stabbing that will be happening not too long from now; it's fine. Don't worry about it.
As for what he says about not having regrets...Blade can very well believe it. Sabo's the type of person who just has conviction in everything he does. And, there is a certain logic about not being upset over the unaccounted for aspect. ]
...Not everything can be accounted for. But, it can be dealt with.
[ In regards to the wish...well, it certainly seems to have done exactly that. Blade doesn't think he needs to comment on it, because he figures it's obvious. ]
no subject
closes eyes in the drama that he does not see in this moment. none of that here (and even when he does see it, there isnt anything that he feels like he could speak to it). ]
It certainly can, thankfully. I know not all situations can allow for corrections when things don't go exactly as planned.
[ he's half joking when he's talking about the next point. ]
However, if there's another surprise after this current surprise then I'll call foul! Someone is messing with all of us at that point.
no subject
As for when Blade sees it...
Look, just trust me when I say no one wants him to step into it. He's still crazy. He'll make it worse. ]
...I'd agree.
Then I'd kill whatever is behind the surprise. But, I'd still agree nonetheless.
[ Look, if something is going to get in his way, then obviously stabbing is the solution. Stabbing is always the solution to problems*.
(*Disclaimer: Maybe not all of them, like the impending one, but hindsight is 20/20.) ]
