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. ]

Oh--um. Yes, of course. If you want to, I don't mind.

[It hasn't even happened yet and he's already blushing.]

[coldseep]

( noooo so cute... ugh...

He's gonna kneel down and give Junior a big hug, as much for himself as it is for Junior (or maybe more? hard to say). He'll let go if Junior seems uncomfortable, but he'll linger if it seems Junior's okay with it. )

[littlegentleman]

[It's not exactly discomfort--there's no tension in Junior's stance, and he doesn't make to pull away. But he doesn't know what to do, clearly unused to physical affection. It wasn't that he'd never been hugged, but it had only happened a couple of times, and it was always happened so surprising.

But when the hug doesn't break off right away, Junior uncertainly reaches up his small arms to give an unpracticed hug in return. This was the first time someone had hugged them because they were sad.]

Does this help?

[coldseep]

( He doesn't know what can help him besides the desperate measure he'd resorted to in the minutes before he was whisked away to this place. He doesn't know if this can cure him. He considered himself selfish for asking, but accepted that he was just of that nature - prioritizing, always, his own whims over another's needs.

But Junior returning the hug, however uncertain, affects him more strongly than he expects. He presses his cheek lightly to Junior's hair, quiet for a little while. )

... Mmhm. ( He exhales... calming a little... Junior can at least hear that wet teary breathing shift into something more regular. ) ... Is this too much?

[littlegentleman]

No, not at all.

[It was...nice. Even though Hwylryn was upset, and Junior didn't want him to be upset. He was just so warm. And there was something unexpected, about being able to help someone feel better, even in some small way. It wasn't the kind of position he was used to being in.]

You're welcome to as much as you need.
