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. ]

[Tia is not accustomed to seeing crying faces. Shiv just might have been able to get away with it, but who can say?

She's not used to it. Even so, sympathy wells in her chest at the thought of troubles from home, and she walks over to stand at Shiv's side.]

What's the problem?

[thesharpestroy]

[She’s not sure just how much she wants to open up, but something about how oddly off guard she feels right about now keeps her from defaulting to “mind your business” when she answers.]

Well, twelve hours ago, I was juggling selling my dad’s company and preparing for his funeral. Now that I’m here I have no way of knowing if both go to shit on top of, you know…the whole fucking mess of having a dead dad.

[frostlight]

[A twinge of something lances through her. It's not grief for the passing of Shiv's father. Tia knows no such attachments, but it's that urgency to return and attend to important matters—the anxieties attached to them—that she understands.]

What'll happen if you're not back to make those arrangements soon?

[thesharpestroy]

[She folds her arms in thought about all those deadlines.]

My brothers are probably gonna fuck the deal and use me not being there as a good excuse to cut me out.

And it's not like they can keep my dad in a box indefinitely, so...I'll miss the funeral.

[frostlight]

[The loss of missing out on a funeral doesn't quite register, but the first half of that is irksome.]

Your brothers? . . . I thought members of a house are meant to support each other.
