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. ]

Why, what's happening with them?

[antemeridian]

I am not aware of the details. But apparently they have their differences and do not get along, with only a tenuous understanding between the two of them to prevent any trouble.

He does not seem to believe that understanding will last, all things considered.

[snakeblood]

I guess that's sort of familiar. We haven't met in person for years either.

Well, hopefully his ex doesn't get themself saddled with dying in 100 days in agonizing delusions that he has to help out with, I guess?

[antemeridian]

I believe that may be a circumstance unique to your particular situation.

[snakeblood]

It can't be that unique.... [ Don't they say, there's nothing new under the sun? ]

[antemeridian]

... Would you prefer it if I said that it would be 'statistically unlikely' for them to share your circumstances?

[snakeblood]

Yes. I like things clear and defined. [ A mild explanation why he's so bothered? ]

[antemeridian]

That is perfectly understandable.

[ if somewhat unfortunate combined with.... everything he's said......... about his ex........... ]

[snakeblood]

It's not that an unreasonable ask, right?

[ Unfortunate is certainly... the word. ]

[antemeridian]

It should not be, but circumstances are not always so accommodating.

[ said she of profile dislikes 'liars'. ]

[snakeblood]

[ Oh samesies girl. ]

It's unfortunate. Just like right now.

[ Ticktock time keeps on ticking. As do the days for Seojin to die. ]

[antemeridian]

[ Time keeps on slipping, into the future... ]

On that, we both agree. This 'Witch' may not be particularly competent, [ or at least, he doesn't seem to be, unless this is a long con, ] but what he's done is quite ... inconvenient, all the same.

[snakeblood]

If he's even telling the truth to begin with. [ Tchs, because wow, liars are everywhere after all. Even hiding behind innocent smiles. ]

[remainsilent]

Ignore her.

[snakeblood]

I guess if you're still broken up, you don't know anyway?

Or is it what you two were lacking?

[remainsilent]

They are mistaken. We weren't together.

[snakeblood]

Oh, so they're also liars. [ So he shouldn't believe them either?? ]

[remainsilent]

I think they merely got carried away with their imagination.

[snakeblood]

[ ? ]

So, they're basing it on something...?

[remainsilent]

...I merely shared that I have an issue with someone from my past.

[snakeblood]

Oh.

A lot of kinds of relationships sucks, doesn't have to romantic partners. [ In fact, they only started doing infatuation-related things for work fairly recently... ]
