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. ]

MONDAY β€’ TUESDAY β€’ WEDNESDAY β€’ THURSDAY

( "why doesn't the local western dragon obliterate the western army so they stop collecting mana stones from magical beasts like his magic sea creatures" he's too busy playin in da wata

He makes a sort of "hmmmm" sound, half in thought, half in... yeah, he clearly hasn't a clue about the nuances of this sort of thing, and it seems very far removed from Hwylryn's life in every way.

However, he thinks he does recognize Arthur's name, when Cain says it. )


You're right, but I guess I get the gist of it. Basically, he's working on it as fast as he can, so you'll get to be a knight again in a couple hundred years, right?

( Maybe even less. Feels like every century or so he pops by some human settlement and it feels totally different. )

That's not too bad. I'm glad you have a friend on the inside.

[ "On the inside" is such a strange way of saying it. Hwylryn might be removed from Western society but it's such a Western way of thinking about it, in Cain's mind. Cain's already on the inside, from the way he sees it. ]

Inside or outside, it doesn't matter. We're all working together to make things better for everyone. Besidesβ€”

[ He stands a little taller, a little prouder. ]

I'm still a knight, title or no.

[ MMMMMMMMMMMMM WE LOVE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT ]

( oh owen hates to be missing this

kyaaa, a shame that Cain can't tell Hwylryn's impressed!! Well, he might be able to in a second, because Hwylryn slips an arm around his shoulder and clinks his glass to his! )


Wo~www, such resolve. ( He takes a generous drink, like they're friends :) celebratin :) But he really does mean it - and admire it. ) It's rare to find someone so certain in themselves, even among wizards. How old were you again?

[ quick get him on the phone

Cain senses the shift so he isn't too surprised to see him pop into view. He won't drink from his glass just yet. ]


Thanks! [ he's buzzin! ] I'm twenty-two!

( omgggg you're so smallllll omggggggggg you're so smallllllllllllllll )

Well, look at you. ( lil knight... with his lil tie... ) If this is how you are at 22, I'll have to wonder what you're like at 500.

( Honestly, it's a blessing he's only 22 - he wasn't larping as human for too long! A little bit of a late start, but not by too much, at least. )

[ cain reaches into his pocket and his unemployment benefits fall out he's an ADU

His face falls a little at that. Suddenly, he gets very intense flashbacks of being babied by Figaro and Bradley and Rustica and Faustβ€” ]


Sure, but...I'm still an adult.

[ Now he sips! And he throws a look at Hwylryn. This close, the dragon can probably see that glimmer of red peeking through his bangs. ]

I don't wanna say I'm not going to change in 500 years, but I've got goals that might take me 500 years to accomplish. And I don't plan on giving up on them.
