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. ]

( Mmm... )

... Then I guess it was worth it. You can't always help someone... or more than one someone... without a sacrifice. Even if it's not an ideal one, for a human.

[spotsalone]

For a human?

[coldseep]

Surprise!

( ok hwy )

Your home must have things like unicorns and gryphons and things, right?

[spotsalone]

[ ........................... ]

It does not, I'm afraid. Those kind of things are the stuff of fairytales.

[coldseep]

( what

what!!! )

You have magic at least, right?

[spotsalone]

[ He shakes his head. ]

But... my crew and I were pursued by some sort of supernatural creature in the arctic. A thing that looked like a bear, but with the face of a man. Some kind of spirit, apparently.

That sort of thing isn't normal where I'm from. We'd never seen anything like it before.

[coldseep]

( Oh there is supernatural stuff, thank goodness, he was going to feel really freaked out,

Still, the news is a little... sad, in a way he didn't expect. Hwylyrn seems a little melancholic. )

... It sounds to me like magic has been chased away to the corners of the world, out of sight. Where I'm from, magic is as common as weather - from the creatures that might scurry through the floorboards to the air thick within forests. To fail to know magic is to banish nature far, far away.

Is that the sort of land you're from? Is that why your crew had to venture so far away to find this creature, when it should have been as common as a mouse?
