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. ]

Well, wait, why did you stab them? Was it a lovers' quarrel?

[snakeblood]

Some classmate of his was sabotaging his bike and even threw a rock at him because he had a grudge against his parents or whatever.

I thought it'd make him happy if I got rid of him.

[distain]

Oh. [A placeholder "oh," as she's sitting there thinking of what else to say. But she really can't help it.] Is that all? What if the bully had really hurt him? Would you have gone even further?

[snakeblood]

I was already working a curse on him, but him trying to end things with me especially while it was the transition period made me try to act faster. Master said I was too fixated and he was becoming my weakness, so I didn't do anything more after he'd gone away. [ Well, he was still trying even after, futilely, but... ]

[distain]

I fear now you've lost me. [Now?????]

You're not saying you're the one who's responsible for the curse on the one you claim to love?

[Why is she even just buying that curses are a thing? Real ones, anyway, not pretty names for other horrible things.]

[snakeblood]

I mean. I made it. And my handiwork is really good, I'll have you know. But it wasn't like I knew it was for him! Some woman who he knew back in high school was the one that cursed him specifically!

But that's separate from the incident 10 years ago.

[distain]

[She won't be keeping up with all the different yearly incidents just at this moment because he really has lost her a bit. It's making her chest hurt... it's just much too easy to care about this conversation, like it has been these past two days.]

I think if I found out I'd cursed the person I love, I'd never forgive myself. I'd wish I was in their place immediately.

[Maybe you don't love him at all.]

[snakeblood]

I mean, we're trying to break his curse?

Besides that. People do infatuation differently after all. [ Love... he still can't understand what it's supposed to entail. ] That woman that cursed him. She always wanted things that were other people's.

[ And well... Yoonhee's crazier than she thinks already. ]
