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.
EVENT I: SCALES OF JUSTICE
『 Helloooo, hellooo! Sorry for calling everyone, but I'm not asking for love advice or asking you how you would rescue a tiger. I have good news! I've made pretty good progress in the past few days in crafting a new spell to send you all back. But I'm going to need a little something from you in return.
See to return you to your worlds, I need to make sure I take all of you. And yeah, I have your physical weights, but I don't know the weight of your soul. Or essence, if you're touchy about that sort of thing.
Luckily I have something that can measure just that! You'll find it in the throne room, along with instructions. Freeing yourself from past sins will make you lighter in various ways. You're welcome! 』
Welcome to your week 1 event! For this event, characters are asked to confess something they think they'll be judged for, that everyone can bear witness to (read: judge them for). This can range from small potato things (I'm really bad at returning library books) to larger transgressions (I'm responsible for the death of all the dinosaurs).
ICly, characters will do this by picking up one of the many rubies that have recently appeared in the throne room, speaking their confession aloud, and then placing it in the scale. Characters are free to come and go as they wish, as their confession will hang around in a visual word cloud until the next day ICly. They'll also feel more compelled to speak up and comment on others, even if they normally wouldn't be judgemental.
Participation will net you a reward in the form of an item. To be eligible for a reward, please link to a thread of your character participating here by 12PM EDT/9AM PDT on Friday, March 14th. We won't be counting comments, just that you did participate in the event!
Characters can participate more than once, and comment on as many confessions as they like, but will only receive one reward.
The world is your oyster, so play this event however you like!

Well, they didn't call me the Bandit King for nothing! Me and my gang were the most notorious bandits in the North for some 500 years, up until I got arrested.
Also I did spend 100 years in jail for this shit already so keep that in mind with yer judgin'.

There's a lot you can confess to... but one particular has been weighing heavily on you, every time you see him.)
Siffrin's confession is spoken outloud, just softly. Too bad it'll be a cloud anyway-- ]
... I forced myself on a friend.

I tried to keep going with Lee Seojin even after the transition period started because I could handle the punishment. Like I didn't let him kiss me and I got punished anyway! So, why the fuck not.
[ There's things you all would judge him harder on, but he doesn't consider at all, so... ]

[She rolls the ruby around in her hand a bit before she leaves it on the scale.] I still am a bit childish, really. I doubt I will ever grow up.
I don't know that things done in the name of love are worthy of being judged at Confession, though. I have already prayed that God will understand.
[((We can move down to mingle for serious philosophizing if someone wants to catch her before/after/outside confession, whatever))]

he cradles the ruby in his hands for a long time, mouth set in an indecisive waver. he should go with one of the things that weighs most heavily on his soul, he thinks. for an accurate read. ]
I'm the reason she stayed and I love her for it. [ but that's not all. ] I'm the reason she left and I hate her. I hate her.
[ he doesn't feel any lighter after saying it. his throat feels clogged with words still waiting to choke him. ]

He winds up clenching his hand around it to suppress the shaking that has been near ever-present this week.
But in the end... ]
Nothing I have ever done in service of my Captain was a sin.
[ That's it, that's all he's willing to say. It's not a confession, but he'll still put the ruby on the scale. So there. ]

Hwylryn picks up the ruby, mediating on what he should say until something, finally, spills out. )
... I saved someone who... He didn't want to be saved, I think.
( Between this person being a very freshly touchy subject for him and the feelings amplification thing going on this week, Hwylryn starts to tear up. )
... But what was I supposed to do? I loved him so much. And I... didn't want to be...
( ... alone :'(
The ethereal bishie tears roll down his cheeks as he hesitates with the tiny, as if unsure with himself if the confession is yet complete.
Murmuring audibly, but mostly to himself: )
... Maybe I was just being selfish.
( He finally sets the ruby down. )

Despite how far he's moved past that precipice and grown since then, the what ifs still haunt him.
Kind of ironic this gem is red, huh? ]
I chose to commit treason. If they didn't stop me, I would have betrayed my country, my friends, allies, family, and myself.
[ ... ]
All because I was jealous.

Hamel holds one of the rubies, rotating it in her hand as she mulls over what to say. She's not afraid of judgement, but it's still not easy to get the words out.]
...I abandoned my brother to join the endless carnival. I didn't want him to get hurt, and he would have died if he went inside, I'm sure, but selfishly...
[Not that that means anything to anyone else here, really.]
It was for myself, too. It freed me from the life I had more than anything else could have.
[Well, with that out of the way, the ruby goes on to the scale. She does not feel any better getting it off her chest, but it was easier to deal with this confession the second time around.]

I'm posing as the Grand Duchess of my summoner's territory while she's away. Naturally, that means I'm deceiving everyone.
[It wasn't the intention, but simply the byproduct of her choice to take up the mantle. Either way, while this doesn't weigh heavily on her shoulders at all, she's seen people take issue with it in the past.]

he should probably confess everything, just to be sure. ]
My name is Chu Wenshan. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be confessing. [ so he'll just tell them everything that he remembers...... ]
They call me the Lone Swordsman, and say my sword flashes wherever I go. [ and blood flows like rivers or something, whatever. people say some really weird stuff, don't they? ] After that, it was something like coming and going like a shadow, or leaving no traces. It was boring, so I forgot some of it. I'm fourth in the Jianghu rankings.
I don't know how many people I've killed. Recently, I hit a guy in an inn, beat up a kid, talked to a bird, beat up someone's dad and tied him up, and ate some poisoned food. I might've beaten up more people along the way.
[ wait..... wait ]
I destroyed a medicine shop and owe them a new one. I might've destroyed some other buildings, or eaten a lot of food when I wasn't supposed to, so I owe other people, too.

Just a few short days ago, I destroyed an opera house during a battle. It gives me great shame to have laid waste to such a sacred place, and I still intend to repay the costs of the damage!
