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. ]

( graha do you need to get some of that energy out a lil bit, he'll let you call him wol if it helps, )

Don't think I don't envy it, but that's really trouble with community! You care so conscientiously what might or might not be appropriate at every hour. Why not allow yourself this hour to your own wants, whatever they may be?

( graha said nothing about societal standards but hwy has opinions anyway about communities disapproving of the sacred art of smashing a beer bottle against your titties and chugging )

[he totally understands the rules to this game.

in any case, there's also a small nod at anyone who doesn't drink, which is... yeah.]

[ HELP

G'raha tilts his head slightly, brows furrowed. While he does have a point when it comes to society being judgmental, G'raha... also doesn't know what to say either. ]

What, pray tell, are you thinking my wants might be?

...It is a "place" with many ships up on high - many make their homes within various buildings, within a deluge of packed together living quarters, and outskirts. But, with variety in landscapes.

Busy, full of people; of a society trying to survive under rules that may make or break them. But, flourishing in trade and skilled warriors. And a place full of troubles.

[ Blade doesn't exactly have the best explanations here but by god it sure is one. ]

Haah?? [ his streak.... ]

What.

Can somebody repeat what he said?

[ she can't drink or not if she doesn't understand what tHE FUCK she just heard]

Is that an evil wizard?

That's all it takes.

Luck, happenstance, action, inaction.

...Karma, lack of karma.

It can be anything. But, what is it you believe?

[ Blade pauses, watching Yoru cycle through potentially something - but definitely a flurry of questions aloud. ]

Whatever decides what is enough could be something beyond our knowledge.

But, even that is finite. Everything gained can be taken away in an instant. How could I know anything? Would it change how happy you are now with your family if you knew there were more horrors were to come? Or would you say you could still cherish their memory, in the wake of even more pain than you have experienced before?

( awww no drinkies for him )

[ he doesn't drink, but also who?? what?? ]

( He smiles... )

... I hope you can be happy with her.

What an oddly specific answer...

[But hey he doesn't have to drink???]

Dost thou seek to expose this assassin?

[After a while... and after quite a few people have their drinks, though there are some she sees don't touch theirs. Are any of them like her?]

Haha. I'm positively jealous.

I've always wondered what it would have been like.

[ she shakes her head no. it's a statement, not a joke. but there's some envy mixed in there. ]

There's nothing wrong with that...? I don't think he'd mind. You're in his likes section.

Is there no magic at all where you're from? Is everyone just human...? Do you at least have unicorns?

( Not the unicorns......... )

There's lots of magic where I'm from. Magic is an expression of nature, and nature's everywhere. You could call me a faucet of nature, too. I'm actually a magical creature, of sorts! Not a Wizard, not a Witch, but we have plenty of them running around, too.

( or flying around, maybe he should say... )
