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. ]

We will have to disagree, then. I think it does.

Not ... in terms of whether you should be forgiven for it or not. Not for absolution. It doesn't change anything. [ nothing he says is going to make that act less terrible, especially considering what she's overhearing him say to Sabo, ] But what your thoughts on it now are might also be valuable to know.

[ should they be concerned about repeat performances, and does he care about the lives lost (and if so, how much). ]

[siffriend]

[ stars ]

What's the internet?

[vivens]

[ if he's supposed to take offense about it, he doesn't and just laughs. ]

Probably.

But, if I can defend myself, it's typically when there's something else much more important to take care of.

[safetycheck]

Fought with a bunch of the girls around me.

[ A crime for the ages. ]

[antemeridian]

[ ... she's in this picture and she's not sure what to do with it when it's presented this way. ]

[antline]

I was sealed away after the rebellion failed. Than, as per the Head Researcher's plans, I was awakened by the Deputy Head to finish what...he started.

[remainsilent]

[ If there was any other effect happening this week, Dan Heng would have stayed out of this.

However, the weight of the guilt, the anger he has for the shadow that still looms over his life is amplified. That with the urge to comment and confess well... ]

He was protecting Dan F- [ A pause. ] Me. He was protecting me. I was the main perpetrator of what happened that day.

[snakeblood]

[ A danger to Siffrin, that's what. ]

Something you can look up whatever you want.

[allrounder]

[ He smiles, a tiny quirk of the corners of his mouth. ]

That it is. While I dislike concealing the truth... I believe I had to.

[vivens]

[ maybe try to use your words? a consideration. ]

Something wrong?

[siffriend]

[ he discovered penguins last time he had access though so it was fine ]

Like a book?

[ Books are okay. ]

[antline]

Did they...ask for it?

[remainsilent]

[ He is going to make an uncomfortable sound at the jail part ]

[siffriend]

[ Siffrin is usually only blunter to... one person in particular, but that magic is doing its work. ]

Oh, okay. It's... a difference of priorities. You can always talk later.

[snakeblood]

[ Wow so innocent. ]

Sure, you can get books on them. But like, anything at all.

[vivens]

[ rebellion.... ]

Is what they started the same as the rebellion that had failed?

[ look, it's one thing for people to actively choose to want to do something and another when they're forced into it. ]

[siffriend]

[ ... ]

Recipes too?

[distain]

I kissed a boy to make someone jealous, but he ended up being cruel to her instead. I couldn't stand the look on her face... that he was able to cause it...

[She rolls the ruby around in her hand a bit before she leaves it on the scale.] I still am a bit childish, really. I doubt I will ever grow up.

I don't know that things done in the name of love are worthy of being judged at Confession, though. I have already prayed that God will understand.

[((We can move down to mingle for serious philosophizing if someone wants to catch her before/after/outside confession, whatever))]

[antline]

I'm not sure of the details. The Deputy Head Researcher knew it all, and I was following him.

[He wasn't someone necessarily high up in terms of info, nor would be able to process it.]

But we brought back the Head Researcher. He had been killed long ago.

[antemeridian]

[ imagine pmmm if homura used her words. ]

... it is easier to just say what needs to be said. Some things don't necessarily require further discussion...

[spotsalone]

[ Hickey frowns. ]

That's not forcing then, is it? It's a misunderstanding, as you've said.

[vivens]

[ bless these small victories. ]

Exactly. I'm putting a great deal of trust in those people to take care of themselves until we can speak again.

[siffriend]

No, it was.

[ (You can't forget the look on his face either.) ]

He didn't want it. So it was forcing.

[vivens]

[ imagine... but he'll give a nod. ]

Yep, exactly, and if they still want to talk about then there's always next time.

[antemeridian]

[ wait was Clover's ex theory right after all,

did they used to be friends? and—

(broken glass, red stone against the pavement, ribbons and bindings and gold shattering soon after.)

... no. it wasn't like that, was it? how does protecting one person lead to societal upheaval? ]
