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. ]

I guess it is. It doesn't seem like anything is harmful...

[At a glance, at least. Scarlet isn't going to just assume things -- he thinks a more detailed examination of the herbs might be warranted]

[distain]

With all the weapons in that room, who would need poisons?

[He's welcome to investigate further, though - Andrew certainly won't stop him. She twirls a spring of thyme between her fingers, then holds it to her face to inhale the scent.]

And yet I haven't seen anyone cooking, so who knows if all this will go to waste.

[caporegrimme]

I intend to make use of this...I'll have to cook for myself all this time.

[Scarlet shrugs a little]

I'd offer you all some, but I'm just an average cook, and also it'd be kind of hypocritical of me to be concerned about poisons and then try to give you all food, no?

[distain]

Not enjoying what we've been given?

[She never has much of an appetite, and so the sparse meals haven't fully made an impression on her yet. It might sink in over the week just how little they really have with only two daily meals and the breakfast being especially light.

At the return to poison, she tilts her head.]

It'd be a little stupid of me to accept it. At least no one I've seen eating Witch's half-baked apologies and falling down dead. If we were real royals, we'd have a taster...

[caporegrimme]

If we were real royals we'd be chained in a dungeon right now.

[Because, you know, everyone got taken to a new, unknown location. That's a kidnapping and you can be sure if a royal gets kidnapped, there are some real dark purposes involved. Nobles can be so cutthroat!]
