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. ]

had a mother

[Her expression doesn't give much away when she lobs that one out, like a grenade into the game answers that were getting a bit more lighthearted.]

[ ......... oh. Yeah that hits like a gunshot.

Angelo drinks, and rather than looking frustrated about it, he just looks hollow. ]

[ Fortunately, he has one, even if she's not around. Thanks mom for the occasional texts. ]

They drink.]

[ maybe the drinks are kicking in, but she's pretty sure she should be taking a sip if she has a mom? okay. no problem. but apparently it's a bit more touchy than she thought? how many people have mommy issues holy shit. ]

[She doesn't drink. In fact, she's equally stone-faced, because this is nothing unusual for her.]

[He's drinking, and interestingly enough, the look on his face is verging on one of disgust...]

Taking a long sip...]

[After a while... and after quite a few people have their drinks, though there are some she sees don't touch theirs. Are any of them like her?]

Haha. I'm positively jealous.

I've always wondered what it would have been like.

[Oops.]

Did your mother die?
distain: (2)

[personal profile] distain 2025-03-14 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
She died when I was born.

[Therefore, Andrew never knew her and never had her... and if she had not been born, her mother would still be alive, albeit not her mother.]
the_obedient_servant: (* A siren is a goddess who promises)

[personal profile] the_obedient_servant 2025-03-14 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

[There's any number of things Chara could say. About the way that parents raise their children, the illusion that adults ever really grow up.

They leave an imprint even when they're absent, Chara notices. A shadow hanging over the woman before them.]


Parents tend to fall short before long. It's easier to keep such a person as a concept, somewhere where they can never hurt or disappoint you. [There's a tinge of bitterness in their tone, but it's not entirely unsympathetic, despite the callous nature of their words.]
distain: (2)

[personal profile] distain 2025-03-15 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
You're right about that, too.

[She says it coolly; that sounds like a revelation she's also come to have.]

I was told she committed some terrible crime, but I never learned more. What could she have done that was so awful?

Regretfully, she must take a sippy.]


Though she fancied herself more of an agent...

[ hmmm.......


he's going to debate this and stare at his drink.

[personal profile] antemeridian 2025-03-14 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ had, past tense, means she probably should be drinking, since there's no specification for how long one had one ...

takes a sip. ]

[ a slow sip of his juice, but,

with a little depresso added ]

[ dude...

Cain drinks, but his eyes are in the general area of space where the prompt came from. There's curious sympathy in his eyes. ]


You okay?
distain: (10)

[personal profile] distain 2025-03-14 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Can he not even look at her directly? She supposes that should bother her, yet she finds the feeling somewhat familiar.]

Why wouldn't I be? It would be foolish of me to miss something that I've never had. And hypocritical, I suppose, since it's my fault she's dead.

[She says this as something deeply ingrained.]
uiscebeatha: (pic#16925082)

[personal profile] uiscebeatha 2025-03-14 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That makes sense. He doesn't miss siblings, he's never had them. But the whole...y'know. Mood of it.

He frowns a bit. Still not quite looking at her. ]


Why would you say that?
distain: (14)

[personal profile] distain 2025-03-15 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
I choked the life out of her when I was born. So I don't understand it - a mother's love.

[Therefore, how could she even know what she was missing? Even when she hears others talk about such a thing, it sounds too foreign for her mind to bear.]
uiscebeatha: (pic#16926907)

[personal profile] uiscebeatha 2025-03-15 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I meanβ€”

[ Purses his lips, studies her general area. ]

You were just a baby. You were just being born. I wouldn't blame yourself for her death.
