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. ]

...how tasteless. The more someone tries to pretend they have worth by lording over someone else, the less they actually have.

[Tremendously blunt! Scarlet adds afterwards:]

No offense, though. It's not like I know him personally.

[thesharpestroy]

None taken. Dad's--well, he was a complicated guy. Always used to talk about how he built his business with the sweat on his brow when he thought we were fucking around too much.

[caporegrimme]

Did saying that really work?

[Sounds like it'd be just the thing someone would brush off because they wouldn't want to hear it, regardless of if he's in the right or in the wrong]

Wasn't so much the lecture part. More not wanting to piss him off. He could be fucking scary when we were growing up.

[Even when she thought she was used to his temper as an adult, her dad could still manage to scare her.]

Maybe he would've been good at the "yelling at people to do shit" part of the military. People working for him got nervous about pissing him off too.

[caporegrimme]

...it's not like I was planning to ever meet him, but if I were, I'd stay far away.

[Not because he's scared, but because he already sounds like such an unpleasant person and therefore someone best not talked with]

[thesharpestroy]

Well, he's dead. Makes that part a little easier.

[There's an uncomfortable terseness in her voice when she says it.]
