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. ]

[He considers the question, and how he previously seemed uncertain when his friendly roommate had used the word exciting.]

Yes...I think maybe it is. Do you think there will be other exciting things that happen?

[coldseep]

Of course. We don't know how dinner's going to taste yet, right? And with a Witch in charge, I'm sure there's going to be all sorts of strange things that happen. They tend to be the capricious kind.

( They Sure Are, )

[littlegentleman]

Do you know a lot about magic?

[He is still Learning.]

Where I'm from...witches are only in storybooks.

[coldseep]

Is there no magic at all where you're from? Is everyone just human...? Do you at least have unicorns?

( Not the unicorns......... )

There's lots of magic where I'm from. Magic is an expression of nature, and nature's everywhere. You could call me a faucet of nature, too. I'm actually a magical creature, of sorts! Not a Wizard, not a Witch, but we have plenty of them running around, too.

( or flying around, maybe he should say... )

[littlegentleman]

[Junior shakes his head slowly. Magic, nature...it was all so new and interesting.]

There are some people with special abilities, but almost all of them were created by scientific experimentation. As far as I know, only a very few of them were ever made in the first place. There are even fewer who were born naturally with such gifts.

[Though..."gift" felt like a somewhat ironic word.]

What kind of magical creature are you?

[coldseep]

( No magic at all??? That's so scary... Hwylryn seems a briefly perturbed, but that can be a conversation for a minute. )

Can you keep a secret?

( He says this in a playful way - it's not that much of a secret, but it's more fun to share it like one. )

[littlegentleman]

[Despite Hwylryn's tone, Junior looks incredibly serious as he nods.]

Yes, I'm very good at keeping secrets.

[One might say he was prepared to withstand torture to keep certain secrets, even! Just, you know, if it was necessary.]

[coldseep]

( junior no----

Hwylryn nods back, in turn. A secret, then. But Hwylryn smiles when he does.

He leans in real close to Junior, lowering himself right by his ear and cutely brushing some of his hair aside so Junior is sure not to miss a single syllable. )

I'm a dragon.

( His grin is near audible. )

And I'm really, really big. Bigger than this castle ten times over.

( hehe )
