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'd sit on the side with the lady and tell him to trust that, so long as uses me as his guide, I'd never lead him astray.

He'd have to understand what I mean, though. He might be in trouble if he's not too smart.

[fourtuity]

Yeah, that's valid. Hopefully he's observant enough to get the hint. Though I'm not sure how to feel if all this happens without him knowing the princess well enough to realize it.

[coldseep]

Sometimes... two people can care for each other very much, but the other person can still be dense, despite it all. If that's who the princess fell in love with, though, can she really complain?

( we are Not projecting in this house dwbi )

[fourtuity]

Ah. You got a point there... That would really complicate things.

[ what if himbo......... ]

But if they know that, maybe they can work around it somehow.

[coldseep]

( : bigthink : )

That's true... Then, maybe the hint should be something like, "Here lies your greatest enemy," or something?

( tailored to a very specific type of violence himbo )

[fourtuity]

Wow, sounds kinda poetic! Now I'm curious what kinda guy would need that hint to get it.

[coldseep]

Northerners, usually.

( He has to say Northerners instead of the Northerners he's specifically, obliquely, thinking of or else he Will cry on call... and thanks to the latent effect in the air, Clover does hear a bit of a sniffle, when he could normally push it out of his mind so long as he doesn't mention them directly. )

... They're pretty simple people, and they see red pretty easy... or get fixated on their pride... or just enjoy fighting. So if they hear their enemy's there, they're certain to go right for them without thinking too hard about it.

( He laughs - fond, and a little helpless, and a little bittersweet. )

Of course, they'd be pretty angry once they find out you've set them up for a lover's tryst instead of a fight with a tiger... or that enemy they were so excited to fight.

( trying to save their life and getting told off for it... smh smh northies (smh smh [specific people hwy is trying not to name in his head]) )

[fourtuity]

[ She listens quietly, the slightly manic energy from earlier dissipating. ]

Wanting to fight instead, huh... Yeah, I think I get it.

[ The next part's a bit awkward because she's getting that this might be a touchy subject. ]

They, um, sound like a fun bunch. I can see why a princess would like them.

[coldseep]

... The princess loves them very much.

( Ah... it's not like him to get too carried away by his feelings like this. He's made a huge point to not do that, in fact!

He falls quiet for a few moments, trying to gather his thoughts, before he begins again, like a fresh slate: )

Do you know people like that? Or are you just the sort who likes a scrap?

[fourtuity]

... I think that's great.

[ Clover takes the time as well to think, but she sets the thoughts aside when he talks again. ]

Well... My brother always said that I had a hot temper? And that I shouldn't try to pick fights every time I'm angry.

[coldseep]

( omg!!! )

I think that you don't take things lying down is wonderful. Why not push for what you believe in?

( don't listen to him this princess has a clear and established bias-- )

[fourtuity]

[ That actually gets her to laugh. ] I think he'd say to take your advice in moderation!

But yeah, I don't see why not. I just hafta take hints when I need them.
