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. ]

The family you were just speaking of the other day?

[Hmm.]

[fourtuity]

About your ex! Who I still think is a sailing trashfire!

[antemeridian]

[ her statue says 14 don't worry about it hwy, ]

[whileaway]

[Hello Vanis, once again.]

You chose to fall? Were the alternatives more... permanent?

[A choice that leads to exile usually only has one other option, in his experience.]

[snakeblood]

Yeah, we all go through this.

[coldseep]

( omg!! )

What's your favorite kind? I've learned a little bit of magic from a wizard, but nothing more extensive than what someone devoted to the craft can do.

[snakeblood]

I'm not traumatized!! [ He's not disputing about hyung though... ]

[coldseep]

( )

[arbalestrier]

There's no need for that. I'll repeat it myself.

"Never have I ever been an assassin for President Gorbachev". That is all.

[coldseep]

Mmmm...

( He leans forward... and then he throws his arms around G'raha's shoulders, leaning just a bit of his weight on him, so he can sniff his neck, )

... Mmmm....

( He seems to think on this... )

... A good book!

( u smell like booke )

[fourtuity]

What do you mean you aren't?! I was traumatized just listening to you over the crystal!

[oncefallen]

Nothing that couldn't be taken up by the remaining angels.

[And frankly, if Mere ended up having to do extra work because of him, he would consider that a plus.]

[divineth]

I suppose thou wouldst need to inquire with Hwylryn as to the manner of flight's validity.

[snakeblood]

I'm built different then. [ Git gud. ]

[coldseep]

( BIIIIIG HUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

... and then he just stays there, parked, )

I hope your life has been kinder to you in the time since, my friend.

[oncefallen]

[Ah, he understands.]

Well, I suppose that's better than some of the rites young demons are forced to undergo. I doubt a human would be able to steal a young demon beast from its nest and escape alive.

[baebladie]

[ Murders happening with healers unable to heal. That sure is going to bring along some bright times.

Anyway, Blade pauses for his mind to go off into the realm of the serious or distant or whathaveyou. When he finally comes back, he says the words simply: ]

A denied reprieve after a completion of an objective.

[ ... ]

...And we are still trapped here, not knowing what may happen next. With a deceitful captor.

[ Too bad Urianger can't squish the guy with how tall he is. ]

[coldseep]

... Yeah.

( A beat. )

... It's hard to be without them. But you're asking them to bear the weight instead. It's awful.

[fourtuity]

Oh. Wow. Thanks. [ She hates it.

After that, she puts down the drink and slowly slumps onto the table. Someone please let her drink more, she needs it. ]

[diel]

[ he doesn’t understand the romance aspect of it, if that’s what she’s talking about. if this is romance. it sounds like it, the quality of her voice has a particular timbre - and that might be something impossible for him after all.

but he yearns. ]

Maybe it’s that. Do you tell her to stop asking questions, too? Shouldn’t she though… to understand your heart?

[ … ]

I think she could.

[coldseep]

And I do! All the time.

( hehe )

If I could, I'd take you all on a flight. There's really nothing else like it.

[diel]

[ he believed him. he believed the threats, so of course he believed him. what other adult was there to believe?

his sister had left. she had left. ]

I couldn’t then. I was a kid and then I was - … [ there’s a weird pause and then his mouth curls faintly. ] But I am now.

I think… that’s enough.

[snakeblood]

[ Maybe he's getting drunk, but that takes him a bit to think about. Or maybe he's thinking about it in a different way. ] Sounds expensive.

[fourtuity]

Like...even if we have all of this, they know what they'd do with it. And they don't mind, because all the possibilities benefit them.

[ That had to be why that day happened as it did. She can't deny it's a motivation here. And the paranoia sitting in the back of her mind won't let her. ]

[stygiomedusa]

I imagine it's wonderful.

[She's never thought much about flying, before, but it seems like it would be a nice thing to do.]

It's a shame you're grounded, here... I hope you can find your way into the sky soon.

[these goddamned nerfs... smh]
