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. ]

What did you do to them?

[the_obedient_servant]

...I hatched a plan with their son. To free them from the realm they'd been trapped inside.

It ended up getting him killed.

[simulacres]

Ah.

[ of course. the road to hell is paved with good intentions and this one's no different. ]

But if they hadn't been trapped in the first place, that wouldn't have happened.

[the_obedient_servant]

Yes.

[There's a reason they felt compelled to act.]

There were a lot of factors to how it happened. I am not under the illusion that I was the only one at fault. Only that I masterminded it and that I failed.

[simulacres]

I can see why that would hurt them.

[ she nods. maybe if she was a better person, she would know what to say to them. “i’m sorry” sounds like too little, but saying nothing at all is too cruel. ]

And you.

[ even if you can understand that you aren’t the only one at fault, guilt has a funny way of eating away at you like acid. ]

[the_obedient_servant]

[A sudden chilliness enters into their body language, the dull light in their eyes vanishing and crushing any sentiment to be found.]

I don't recall asking for your pity.

[Their tone isn't... hostile, or even angry. It's just flat.]

You would be wise not to make assumptions about how I feel.

[simulacres]

[ there are many things that are terrifying to her.

luckily enough, the one thing she has a pretty decent armor from are unsettling children. she's already haunted by one, what does another one make? ]

You could just say that you don't like it. Jeez, sorry.

[ she's gonna go find something else to do? ]
