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. ]

Like doing a serenade or giving him flowers?

( he's being fr )

[fourtuity]

[ she's failing to hold back a laugh because dang yoonhee doesn't look the type ]

Hehe, if it works, why not? Hard to overdo it with flowers unless you're really trying.

[coldseep]

( hehe )

That's true. I'd love flowers. But, then again, I'd love anything that was given to me sincerely. Even if it just happened to be a bundle of sticks.

( truly it's the thought that counts... )

[fourtuity]

[ There's a noticeable pause, but the voice that responds is definitely chipper. ]

...Yeah, I totally agree! One of the best birthday gifts I ever got in my life was a four-leaf clover.

[coldseep]

( mahoyaku lore check... surprisingly they have similar legends on four leaf clovers, so hwy can properly be endeared by this )

Oh, wow... those are blessings where I'm from. It must have been really hard to find, right? ( so cute... ) Did they get it for you because of your name?

[fourtuity]

Exactly! I don't know how much time it took, but it must've taken him forever...

I wish I could've done a better job pressing it back then.

[coldseep]

You still have the memory, right?

( The clover preserved properly would be a lovely memento, but... )

... It's the matters of the heart that we carry with us longest, I think. So, in a way, it's been pressed there. Even if it's not always so easy to peer into your own heart.

[fourtuity]

Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I still remember it like this years later. Which totally says a lot.

[ She's both glad and sad it's not stuck here with her. Just like him. ]

Maybe it's even more perfect in my memories.

[coldseep]

As long as that never becomes too heavy to carry... there's nothing wrong with that, I think.

( He considers this... )

... Though, I guess... even if it ever did become too much, I'd prefer to keep holding on than letting go. So maybe it's not such a bad thing, polishing it until it becomes more and more pristine, without end.

[fourtuity]

[ She rolls the crystal over and over in her hands, thinking. ]

...I don't think there's anything wrong with that either. We wouldn't be us without our memories.
