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.

[ They guess. ]
I can't feel you, for the record. But you are "hanging me" upside down vision wise. Sort of. It's hard to explain.
no subject
[ no phones... smartphone research abandoned due to issues during development (murr hart got bored) ]
Oh, oops! Sorry, here— [ He turns the knife over in his hand, blade still facing the same direction, but now the opposite side of the handle facing upward. ] Is that better?
no subject
It's just like this. And...
[ ......
A little. Queasier. ]
Um. Can you just. Hold me normally. Like a normal person holds a stabbing utensil. Or put me down. I miss you too, Cain.
no subject
[ Here. He lowers the knife and holds it like normal, sheepish little smile on his face. ]
Didn't mean to make you dizzy right when you come back. [ hehe ] Missed you, too.
[ siffrin is a knife and not exactly back but cain isn't the type to sweat details, ]
no subject
... How has everyone in Water Lily been?
[ There's so few of them, now.
There's going to be even fewer tomorrow but that's tomorrow. ]
no subject
I mean, we've been better. We lost Hickey— Oh, I guess you already know that.
[ "Tomorrow" hasn't happened and so Cain still smiles.
He thinks about the past few days, but he ultimately decides that's a personal issue and not a Water Lily issue (even though they're both Water Lilies). ]
But we're hanging in there.
no subject
That's good. Drinking's not the same, they've got wine.
[ Which is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine they guuuuuuuuess but Cain knows how they feel, about wine.
Still, still. There's a warmth to the tone. ]
When everything's done, let's... sit and have some together again. It'll be nice. To catch up, and all. I have plenty of things I didn't get to say to you, Cain.
no subject
[ NOT WINE FOR SIFFRIN! He laughs a bit at that.
But when he's done, he'll give the knife a softer look. It really is so much quiet and less lively without Siffrin around. They've got similar temperaments, he thinks. It's not the same without them. ]
To me? I'm flattered. [ He gives a little huff of a laugh. ] But sure, I'll be looking forward to that drink and chat. Hang in there and come back to us in one piece, okay?
