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. ]

[distain]

It sounds like you developed a conscience.

[It, admittedly, does not make much sense to her, though perhaps she can sense his struggle to articulate himself with words. And, taking out all of the parts that hold no meaning to her, of executions and primal beasts and everything like that, she can perhaps understand the doing what one is told to be useful.]

Though I can think of little worse than being mindless... a few things, maybe.

[antline]

Sentience was a by-product of my creation.

[He says, like he's stating something matter-of-fact.]

...What would be worse than being mindless, then?

[distain]

That should also be said for humans.

[Let's not think too hard on the prevailing philosophies of when conscience or consciousness or souls develop during the time period just yet... a conversation for later, perhaps.]

Being a coward...and being aware of it. [Among a few other things, probably, but that's the first that comes to mind.]

[antline]

Mm. I suppose that is a fatal flaw, of sorts.

[He hums.]

I wonder why people would choose to...remain a coward, though. In cases like that.

[distain]

What else can they do? Until they find the strength, they'll continue to be unable to act but aware of their cowardice.

[antline]

Do you...know someone like that?

[distain]

Yes. Someone I can't stand to think of even now.

[There's clear distaste in her voice.]

But it's fine. [Effortlessly, sweeping invisible dust away from her shoulders.] I wonder if you also feel that way. Or is there something even worse for you?

[antline]

...

[girl you good,]

Something worse...I don't know. But I know not being able to find the rainbow would be terrible. As far as specific people...

[He really hasn't thought about this.]
