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.
[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. ]

[The light attitude does make Shiv a little less instantly defensive: it’s not quite mocking but not quite condescendingly pitying.]

You mean you don’t like marble men judging you?

[There’s a bit of humor once she clears up her sniffling.]

I’m usually more of a minimalist aesthetic cryer. Makes the whole thing feel less fucking dramatic than…well, the Greeks.

See, I prefer the grunge of a well-used bathroom. Preferably public. Maybe some drunk girl on a night out will give you unsolicited advice. And you can always do with some of that.

[Sarcasm? More likely than you’d think.]

Oh, not a bad choice. People under the influence give the fun kind of advice sometimes. When they aren't about to make their own life-fucking decisions.

[The closest thing she's done to clubbing...well, she doesn't think she'd consider her brother's disaster of a fortieth birthday party on that level, but she did tear up the dance floor like it was. Or at least she felt like she did: fuck Roman for saying otherwise.]

I'd give this one maybe a three out of ten. Too much echo.

[She nods along with that assessment.]

Yeah, you cry in here and the whole fucking world can hear you. And then it just emphasises how utterly alone you are.

[Cheery, Caroline.]

With this and the shared rooms, it’s hard to find a nice place to be miserable.

Yeah, that's the problem with mansions. When there's not waitstaff or company, it's just a bunch of sad walls to stare at until you lose your shit.

[She may be speaking from personal experience.]

Seriously, the shared rooms are a pain in the ass. I've never had a roommate in my damn life, not really up for starting now.

[She doesn't hate her suitemates at least.]

Really? I had one in college at least. Can’t say it was a great experience, but it - what do they say - built character?

Well, I didn't stay at a dorm back in college. I had a flat. I lived with boyfriends, sure, but that's a bit more than just a roommate you fuck, you know?

Depends on your definition.

[She knew people who would define their boyfriends that way. As is the college experience.]

I can’t say you missed out on the dorm experience, exactly…but seems like now’s the time to play catch-up.
