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. ]

[ pets gently english is a hard language and we can just blame it on that.

however, we're definitely not going to ignore how he's saying that his captain has "transcended humanity". what the fuck? hello? what does that even mean??? sabo's going to keep a good face on for him despite these wild claims. ]

I see. I've never met anyone who I could describe as transcending humanity.

[ he really said that with his whole chest, huh? ]

There have been plenty of people who I could see bring in a lot of change but never that. So, if he's as you claim, then I can understand what you meant earlier.

[ obligation… does it matter? people who have an obligation to care often look away anyway. teachers pretend not to see, neighbors pretend not to hear. what use is obligation? ]

If someone… is not well, do you ignore the way their body screams because… you have no obligation to listen? I don’t understand that. I never have.

[ Laughs! ]

Aw man, just got me!

[ chug chug chug ]

[ He almost drinks but gets the wording at the last second, stops himself, laughs, then shoots Hwylryn fingerguns because he's bisexual. ]

Nice one!

had a mother

[distain]

[Her expression doesn't give much away when she lobs that one out, like a grenade into the game answers that were getting a bit more lighthearted.]

[distain]

... Yes.

[No. But yes. The answer should be one, but the reality is the latter.]

You should stop asking questions about things it's impossible for you to understand.

[It's firm; she puts every ounce of noble coldness and condescending threatening into it that she can because she means it.]

[littlegentleman]

[His eyes follow everything Sousuke does, from performing the shot to beginning the reload process. He's as quiet as ever for as long as it takes him to assess the situation, then responds matter-of-factly.]

Your aim was spot-on to hit the mark dead center, and your arm didn't waver from the kickback. Still, the bullet didn't connect as intended. Perhaps a limitation of the model? Do you believe you can anticipate the discrepancy and overcompensate for it?

[allrounder]

I've no clue if my parents had children after I was taken to Sharlayan... though I am certain that my half-siblings count.

[ hence, the drink ]

[allrounder]

'Tis a long, drawn out plan, but I was going to rid my friend of the burden that his powers would bring him and take them upon myself in his stead.

[cleansheets]

[ ......... oh. Yeah that hits like a gunshot.

Angelo drinks, and rather than looking frustrated about it, he just looks hollow. ]

[fourtuity]

Dang, that's pretty amazing. You gotta be like...somehow from 2130 or further!

[ It's hard for her to imagine. Technology has definitely advanced since humans first went into space, but a city? There's someone surreal about the thought of skyscrapers on the moon. ]

Wild to think that it's that close and yet so far. Wanna write it in? [ If it's an omission, why not? ]

[cleansheets]

[ He's say that if this is pity, he doesn't need it, but... Well, honestly he's glad to be left alone on this. Just hanging out in his corner and judging everyone else is his all he wants to do tonight, and he's content to do it in peace. ]

[cleansheets]

Not all of it. The elites still cling to Earth.

[ It's not just the Elites, but this is the common rhetoric among those living in space and Angelo is certainly not critical enough to question it. ]

It's the majority, though.

[distain]

Fiction for me. When it comes to historical texts, I'm not as good at studying them or memorizing their concepts, even if I try...

[Suppose she'd be a bit more useful if she was more acute in learning things like that.

Though he's abandoned the chess board, she twists a piece back and forth in her fingers.]

I know someone who loves mysteries, but she always guesses the culprit at the beginning. I've had so many spoiled for me.

[snakeblood]

[ Fortunately, he has one, even if she's not around. Thanks mom for the occasional texts. ]

[allrounder]

[ taking a sip! ]

[the_obedient_servant]

It's precisely why I don't care for anyone. Humans are a species of self interested hypocrites in various stages of denial about it.

Keeping your feelings hidden is a method of survival.

[allrounder]

A bit unfair.

[ but it's fine, he'll take a sip ]

[cleansheets]

No, thanks. I wouldn't want your geriatric back to break from bending over backwards like that.

[ Hwyl: haha, we're hanging out
Angelo: I am killing you in my mind ]

[allrounder]

[ a wistful smile overtakes him, but he has a sip anyway ]

[the_obedient_servant]

[.................

They drink.]

[the_obedient_servant]

This feels like cheating.

[Not that they don't approve. They drink.]

[the_obedient_servant]

[Chara sits at the pool, their legs dipping into the water. They look at the snack table with a gaze that's somewhere between exasperation and loathing.]

Adults will look for any opportunity to get drunk.

[the_obedient_servant]

Did you not complete the tutorial?

[snakeblood]

For what....?
