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. ]

[The crystal and it's mysterious telephone functions weren't something Break planned on exploring, but damn. And he thought some nobles had messy scandals.]

So did he? Plot against your family, that is.

[You can't just leave him hanging, now. He took the time to figure out how to respond.]

[snakeblood]

Apparently not? But I'm not entirely sure he's not up to something. I'm having Yuri do a background check on him still on why he's sending out an unmarked 200,000 won out from his bank account every month. Still no answer on that front.

[ Is it thickening enough, Break? ]

[whileaway]

From your tale of stabbing, kissing, and carriage crashing, [Both amusingly and concerningly in that particular order.] I think it sounds obvious that he's up to something.

This old man might also say you need better taste in people.

[snakeblood]

Right? He can't not be up to something. It's suspicious.

Honestly, I was fine without him for ten years. And before I met him too. [ But when he's there... he can't explain it. ]

[whileaway]

And you've considered other emotions to call this, before deciding on "love"?

[There could be murder afoot, for instance. Some kind of political or financial gain scheming, if that amount was as large as it sounded to him. ]

[snakeblood]

I'm not actually the one mentioning "love", here?

I just want to be with him again. [ ... ] Honestly, it doesn't matter if he dies, if he can die under my roof.

[whileaway]

You asked about dating, initially, and if it isn't a prior arrangement then it usually indicates some kind of fondness. You're conflicted enough to ask, so it's probably something more than "just fondness."

[Other people have definitely brought up love specifically, but Break is having a hard time divorcing the idea from obsession.]

Would dying under your roof somehow fix the confusion?

[ Please, not another sewer rat...]

[snakeblood]

Fond... I guess that's close. Master called it a "fixation". [ So, you're correct Break! ]

That way, he'd be mine?

[whileaway]

[ah. damn.

After maybe a touch too long of a pause:]

There are, surely, better ways to go about that.

[Which is putting it very, very mildly. He's not particularly desiring to make more of a scene at this point tyvm. Clover has that handled.]

[snakeblood]

Isn't that why just getting back together is less... [ waves hand. ] violent?
