WEEK ONE

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. ]

It's an island.

[ sorry he won't elaborate further than this but sabo will consider giving a bit more details. ""details"". ]

Between a number of different islands.

[antemeridian]

[



............... sir? ]

You ... are quick to say such a thing. To jump to the conclusion that you might at some point have to be dealt with, and that I might be someone to decide so and act on it.

[ but on the last point, she isn't going to say anything. i don't know whether this is happening before or after dan heng's conversational bombshell but either way, she can't say anything about it. ]

[the_obedient_servant]

Unforgivable.

[baebladie]

[ Oh, perfect.

No matter what, when Blade hears this, he grins, and says nothing more.

Also, time is fake so we just rolling with it... sorry that he is just literally a basket case. Literally insane, but here we are. ]

[antemeridian]

[ ah, yes, she can agree with this. ]

It is something about the delivery, isn't it?

[the_obedient_servant]

[They take a long moment to gather their thoughts about the particulars of their confession. A vacant look is all that can be tracked on their face, a small considering frown.]

I was taken in by a family whose lives I ended up destroying.

[antemeridian]

[ hmm yes i am sure this is fine and normal and not concerning in the least

but in any case, homura just takes in a breath, partially through her teeth,

and exhales it. sabo and dan heng seem to have taken the reins of this particular discussion anyway.

and what a discussion it is. ]

[antline]

That's...

[...............]

Basically the Skydom though.....

[antline]

...

[man.jpg]

It's okay...don't push yourself. I don't want you in pain.

[cleansheets]

Not many are worthy of such devotion.

[ And if you have to ask, you probably aren't. Sorry. ]

[antline]

[]

...This is all rather confusing. I didn't know there are rules to this.

[the_obedient_servant]

Nobody who calls themselves the "Bandit King" is ashamed of having been a bandit. It is an objectively epic epithet.

[Not that they're actually saying this from a position of judging "bandits" but come on now.]

[antemeridian]

I see. And what do they tend to want to say?

[ is it more along the lines of 'hey, we weren't done socializing???' or are they actually valuable contributions? ]

[the_obedient_servant]

Because they were his sins, or because they were worth it?

[vivens]

[ ...



okay by context clues only— ]

These islands aren't in the sky. They're located within oceans.

[antline]

...

[Here, he's taking a napkin to wipe off his tears, don't mind him.]

..........

[He is silent for a moment, but he eventually speaks.]

I...don't think that is selfish. If it is...maybe it's a good kind of selfish.

[vivens]

[ well, doesn't that work out well for sabo? he would never ask. ]

I'd imagine that it would undermine that devotion if it was given freely.

[antline]

The oceans on some islands can also have islands...

[........]

So there's nothing...in the sky?

[snakeblood]

Infatuation is a lawless realm, so don't think about it too hard.

[antline]

From public destruction?

[girl,]

[vivens]

Well, they'd get mad for starters.

[ thus his wholeass "confession". ]

Then they'd just try to pick up where things were let off with a recap of what they had been trying to tell me previously.

[antemeridian]

[ time is fake and we will gleefully let this happen for the sake of creating hilarious thread continuity

which is to say, homura just watches this happen. oh. okay. she bows her head, just a little, as he makes his way back. ]

... If that counts for what Witch is telling us to do, then ... I believe you've made your point.

[ up until the blade and dan heng show ruins it, anyway, and hwy amongst others follows up. ]

[vivens]

[ ......


now isn't this a turn of events? ]

No, we also have islands in the sky with seas and oceans of their own. The ones I'm referring to don't exist up there.

[antline]

...?

[???????????????????????????????]

Alright. I will take your point that we come from...different places. Somehow.

[antemeridian]

Especially when he is doing so with such an expression on his face. He's almost certainly proud of the notoriety he attained.

[ not really judging either; in fact he might get along with certain people she knows like a house on fire. ]
