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. ]

I understand.

[Not all people know about those. He can't blame Blade for that.]

What is the Xianzhou like?

[baebladie]

...It is a "place" with many ships up on high - many make their homes within various buildings, within a deluge of packed together living quarters, and outskirts. But, with variety in landscapes.

Busy, full of people; of a society trying to survive under rules that may make or break them. But, flourishing in trade and skilled warriors. And a place full of troubles.

[ Blade doesn't exactly have the best explanations here but by god it sure is one. ]

[antline]

[Sounds a lot like his world. Ships, troubles, and rules galore.]

Troubles, you say. What sort of troubles?

[baebladie]

[ The skydom and Xianzhou do have some similarities... ]

...An ongoing war against certain creatures. Denizens of the Abundance.

Politics. Those who struggle with their lifespan. [ Typical for any world...almost. If not for a certain aspect of it. ] Other troubles I'm unaware of.

[antline]

Their lifespan...?

Why would anyone struggle with this? Short lifespans?

[baebladie]

Some wish to live beyond their short lifespans. But, even those who live longer...are afraid of death.

Some want to live forever. [ ... ] Even if they don't understand the price.

[antline]

...And you? How long will you live, Blade?

[baebladie]

[ ... ]

...There is still a script I need to act out.

[ Until then, is the implication...but, Blade is not so certain of that either - the uncertainty now is welcome. ]

[antline]

A script?

[He doesn't like the sound of that.]

Do you want to follow it?

[baebladie]

...That—

[ Blade looks like he is going to answer, but in the midst of this, everything with Dan Heng blows up.

And then, he ends up running off.

But, maybe he can answer this later. ]
