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. ]

It is weird.

[ Cain's over here, studying the armor. He wasn't expecting company in the room with him, but no matter. He turns around to face the voice, but his gaze wanders up over the elevated displays instead. ]

The collection feels unnecessarily thorough, too... [ It definitely isn't a proper armory, that's for sure. Which is both disappointing and unsettling. ] Maybe Witch [ assuming it's Witch, ] just wanted a bunch of different weapons but wasn't interested in using them?

[ which sucks because he wants his SWORD back ]

They look plenty functional. Somebody could get stabbed with them. He said this wasn't his castle, but he still left it all out in front of the multiple captives he has.

Weird choice for a hostage situation. Usually they're the ones given weapons and not us, from what people told me and the shit you see in movies.

Hmm... Do you really think this is a hostage situation? He didn't really strike me as the type. [ She's right, of course. But part of him still sympathizes with him.

He comes to stand near where the swords are, gazes up at them. He doesn't know what a movie is, so he'll gloss over that. ]


But if it is, then, I mean, they've already taken our magic away. Weapons like these could be a downgrade for a lot of people. Or... [ Not that he wants to assume the worstβ€” ] If there is malice behind this, then maybe he has something much worse planned.

He's probably lower management. He mentioned having a boss with a hundred-year waiting list or some shit. [She doesn't think that's literal at all. However, apparently Shiv has only been living with half of the facts for most of her life if magic is in fact real.]

So like...they want us to start spilling blood and the weapons are a friendly suggestion.

[ Damn. That sounds rough. Cain doesn't know what that means, but it sounds frustrating. He'll just toss a glance in Shiv's general direction at that.

There's a sword up on the wall he's spotted. His eyes settle on it. ]


Maybe. But I'd say it's a little too early to tell yet. Maybe it's implying something, or maybe it's an earnest, but deadly mistake on his part.

[ He'll take a few wide steps back, judging the distance from the floor to the sword's display... ]

Butβ€”

[ He dashes forward toward the wall, kicks off the ground to clamber as far up the wall as he can; his fingers wrap around the handle of the sword, and pulls it off its display as gravity takes him back down, thanks fat 20 roll.

He grins, proud of himself, when he turns towards Shiv's voice again. ]


Wouldn't hurt to be prepared!
