murder manor week zero



friday

[You wake in an unfamiliar bedroom, with no memory of how you came to be there and a sensation that something you once had is gone. The room you're in is luxurious and comfortable, but there is a musty feeling of disuse and decay in the air. Still, you've provided with new wardrobe perfectly tailored for you, a key ring that will unlock your bedroom door, so surely you're welcome to explore the manor?

Have a look around and make yourselves at home. You'll soon find you're not alone, but if any among you knows the secrets of this place, they aren't speaking.]

This is an open mingle log for arrival at the manor. Please put your character's name, location, and the time in the header of their comments. Characters are welcome to explore the manor and get to know one another; nothing else will be revealed to them today.

[Alice had already woken up an hour ago and spent the last hour sweeping her room for clues. With nothing found however she put on a tacky dress (seriously, it looked like something her grandmother would wear) and quietly walked out the room.]

--!

[Only for her heart to stop and to turn quickly when she realized someone else was in the hall.]

You...

[She quickly rebounds and gives the woman a serious look.]

Who are you?

[aozaki]

[...oh serious already this early in the morning? maaaan

touko needs her coffee

but in the meanwhile!]

Touko Aozaki, I just woke up not too long ago myself. What's your name?

[allice]

[Waking up in another strange place, to a new set of strangers. Ugh. What the hell is this?]

Alice. I woke up an hour ago and searched through my room, with no luck. I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say you don't live here.

[aozaki]

[a bad trip...

i mean]

Did you check the drawer desk?

[...]

Haha, how astute. No, although I can't complain about the lush decor, even if it is a little too ostentatious for my tastes.

[allice]

...I checked it. But none it is useful to me.

[And it certainly won't help her leave wherever the hell she is now.]

Anyways, in that case then we've both been kidnapped. No idea as to why either.

[aozaki]

It's still an odd assortment of items, I'd say.

[that's true, at least...]

We'll probably find out soon, although the manor seems free to be explored and we might find some clues. Will you head out and go look for a way out, Alice?

[SEEK A WAY OUT!!

]

[allice]

[saving private ryan style flashbacks to the library room rn]

Well of course I am! Aren't you going to do the same?

[aozaki]

[i haven't even vlr'd and ur welcum]

I'll have a look around, yes, but if it was that easy to get out, there wouldn't have been any point bringing us here in the first place.

[duh! #genre savvy, totally]

[allice]

Hmph, isn't that the truth? [Because really, fancy manor is an upgrade from abandoned warehouse.] But I'm not just going to sit on my ass and do nothing either.

[aozaki]

[also mfw i was too tired to realize it was 999.........

but right, ngl touko kinda misses her dump of a workshop that could pass off as an abandoned warehouse...]

Haha, it'd be a shame to let the decor go to waste either way. Will you start immediately?

[allice]

[Decor go to waste? ...Yeesh this woman. Whatever.]

Naturally. Now I have to ask: was there anything in your room that seemed strange?

[aozaki]

[don't be so stuck up!]

Other than what I found in the drawer? I wouldn't say so, no. Yourself, Alice?

[allice]

[this is alice, the only other character who can be so stuck up is dio!!]

Nothing. They didn't even have the decency to provide clothes that don't look like they came from a dusty history book. My outfit was very expensive and it was traded in for these rags.

[priorities yo.]

[aozaki]

[...well that's not good...]

Oh? What was it made out of?

[she's perking up, genuinely curious. A WOMAN'S PRIORITY, INDEED.]

[allice]

Silk and Egyptian cotton. Very expensive and very hard to find. And these bastards can't even give the decency to return it to me!

[aozaki]

My, you don't need to tell me twice. My own coat isn't nearly as nice, but it's got sentimental value. [and loaded with rune magic, but details.] Did you arrive with any of your belongings at all, Alice?

[allice]

No, not at all. I guess I can't fault a kidnapper for being inconsiderate, but I can fault them for committing a crime.

[aozaki]

Truly? They were kind enough to leave me with my last pack of cigarettes. They're the last of the brand, too. ...How strangely considerate.

[now she looks a little worried/more sober, though...]

[allice]

Curious. Was this pack of cigarettes on your person in what you recall last before waking up here?

[aozaki]

It was on my person, yes. They're cheap, but have some sentimental value.

[a small shrug; she's no problem admitting this much.]
