WEEK ONE
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.

he should probably confess everything, just to be sure. ]
My name is Chu Wenshan. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be confessing. [ so he'll just tell them everything that he remembers...... ]
They call me the Lone Swordsman, and say my sword flashes wherever I go. [ and blood flows like rivers or something, whatever. people say some really weird stuff, don't they? ] After that, it was something like coming and going like a shadow, or leaving no traces. It was boring, so I forgot some of it. I'm fourth in the Jianghu rankings.
I don't know how many people I've killed. Recently, I hit a guy in an inn, beat up a kid, talked to a bird, beat up someone's dad and tied him up, and ate some poisoned food. I might've beaten up more people along the way.
[ wait..... wait ]
I destroyed a medicine shop and owe them a new one. I might've destroyed some other buildings, or eaten a lot of food when I wasn't supposed to, so I owe other people, too.

...What are the Jianghu rankings?
[Is that really the most important thing right now...]
no subject
hm
what were they again? ]
...I know one is the highest.
[ that's not what she asked ]
no subject
[sir.......... please,]
If you're unsure what you're being ranked on then it must not be very important, then...
[Which makes it odd to confess to but no more odd than, like, most everyone here.]
no subject
closing his eyes, he places his hand near his chin and thinks about it a little harder. maybe he remembers a bit more than he thought? ]
Yeah. [ a firm nod. ] They're not important, and they don't seem to be based on anything specific. Having a high number doesn't reward you, and it doesn't give anyone any special status.
But the people at the top still get targeted, almost like they're being hunted.
no subject
As the fourth, do you... get attacked often? I mean, it sounds like you're used to a life of fighting, but... being hunted is a bit different from your usual brawl, isn't it?
no subject
β¦ Why do you beat up people?
[ asking from at least two meters away to be safe! ]
no subject
[ duh (not duh! that isn't what he said before!) ]

[ sus⦠]

He was angry his food was poisoned.
[ almost nailed it ]
no subject
[ wait, heβs jumping around. what part of the story are they onβ¦ ]
no subject
...That's a lot to forget the details of.
no subject
[ no, that's important......... ]
