WEEK ONE

32 Guests

Maybe being swept away to a fancy castle isn't what you wanted (Hickey aside), but the fact of the matter is that you're stuck here, at least for now. Thankfully there's enough food even if hot chocolate for breakfast might be a bit rich for some palates. There's at least a stock of raw food in the kitchens, but your hapless kidnapper is a Witch, not a chef, so you'll have to perform your own, manual kitchen magic if the provided meals aren't to your liking.

Just try not to burn the place down before you get the chance to take your host at his word (that you'll be leaving in a week's time, certainly, trust).

If you do get the cabin fever immediately, the grounds are a beautiful reprieve from the great indoors -- and if nothing else, perhaps you can find time to get to know your fellow guests. The weather is gorgeous all week, cheerfully sunny, which lends something to the mood.

WEEKLY EFFECT

This week, characters will feel heightened emotions periodically. If they're very happy about something, it'll feel like the best thing in the world! If they'd usually brush off something mildly annoying, suddenly it'll grate on their nerves. This effect will last throughout the week until investigation and is completely optional.

[OOC: Welcome to Week 1! Despite the lack of any threatened murder (except in Witch's direction), there will be a case this week. We'll have a small optional event on Wednesday at 1PM EDT/10AM PDT, but it won't require real time threading and can be done over the course of the week. ]

1/2

[snakeblood]

Then why is the one who starts things! Do I look like I just do things for the fun--[ ... ]

2/2

[snakeblood]

You know, he keeps telling Seoyeon hyung not to get married to his girlfriend and just have fun!

[remainsilent]

They are mistaken. We weren't together.

[snakeblood]

Oh, I know. I've been cursed since I was eleven. It's how I'm the head of the household now. [ No biggie! ]

[snakeblood]

Isn't that why just getting back together is less... [ waves hand. ] violent?

[fourtuity]

Purposeful beyond simple design? I know they say every weapon has a story, but maybe that's not what you mean.

[ She squints as she looks around the room again, trying to avoid blinding herself. But nothing sticks out to her beyond them existing in the first place. ]

I guess they could be a hint for this place? Somehow. There's probably been weirder puzzles.

[snakeblood]

There's not really a like or dislike. It's my job. And my family.

[coldseep]

Why not?

[coldseep]

( :D? )

You could say I'm pretty familiar with Northerners, so why wouldn't it be?

@everyone

[the_obedient_servant]

You'll want to max out your stats to suit your partner. Try using * CHECK on them to get a hint as to what they're looking for.

[How the fuck did they say that out loud?]

[fourtuity]

Oh. Yeaaah, that sounds like a dude scared of committing, all right. Those types of guys just want to keep playing around and avoid responsibility.

[ Yikes. She's starting to feel bad for Yoonhee. Scary. ]

That's something he's gotta want to change himself.

[snakeblood]

Oh, so they're also liars. [ So he shouldn't believe them either?? ]

[baebladie]

[ A feeling of a shade ready to leap out and swallow someone whole? Yes.

One might assume that the sudden appearance may be from one of the bushes...

...Emerging from behind one of the single statue fountains off to the side is a certain tall, black-haired man, suddenly and silently. ]

I am here.

[ Self-explanatory. ]

[fourtuity]

[ a gold star for him ⭐ ]

[remainsilent]

I think they merely got carried away with their imagination.

[fourtuity]

Just thinking that maybe he needs less violence to get his point across.

[snakeblood]

Stats? Ch..eck...? [ Oh he would if he could because that man doesn't tell him shit.

But also, he's never played a game in his life. What was that? ]

[the_obedient_servant]

What was unclear?

[The real question is whether they're doing this on purpose.]

[snakeblood]

[ ? ]

So, they're basing it on something...?

[oncefallen]

[No biggie indeed.]

And you don't fear dying young?

[the_obedient_servant]

[There's always an air of... some kind of feeling whenever they reach these places. Memories of a home they once had, moments that defined their future forever.

They trace their fingers delicately over a rose.

The feeling - an undescribable feeling - flares up. It's uncomfortable to experience, and Chara grimaces.]

Is there a reason for your fixation on this place?

[Honest curiosity, despite the framing.]

[snakeblood]

[ Somehow this relevation makes him feel a little calmer. Or is this just the calm before the storm? ]

He should change his ways, so random people aren't trying to kill his ass.

not here

[simulacres]

[ she’s staring at her crystal like she can’t believe this is an actual conversation people are having. ]

[thesharpestroy]

I'd put my money on that. People will decorate their mansions with war memorabilia or old paintings just to show off that they got their hands on them.

It's why my dad collected military medals.

[snakeblood]

I don't know what those works mean in this context?
