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.

[Kanaya drifts in here and her eyes widen with admiration. Sunlight! Plants! Hella amazing!]

Well, this is the loveliest room in here by far...

[She modestly covers her mouth when she realizes she's not alone in here. The keys on the ring around her wrist jangle with the motion.]

Ah, hello...

[teenspirit]

Hello!

[ Sonia turns to the stranger with a luminous smile. Speaking of luminous, this girl seems to have the palest skin and darkest hair she's ever seen. ] Ah, wow! A real-life Snow White...!

[speakveryclearly]

Snow White? [Hasn't she heard that one before... Yeah, now she remembers.] Oh, you must be talking about that human analogue to the fairy tale in which an heiress is cruelly banished from the ocean by a corrupt empress, only survives by virtue of the subjugglator's pity, and takes refuge on land with seven lowbloods until an assassination plot requires her osculatory resurrection by a passing prince--

[Taking a breath before cutting herself off with a winning, fangsy smile.] But I assure you, the role I have in my society isn't anywhere near that of royalty.

[teenspirit]

[ Nodding like she knows(?) what Kanaya is talking about, when she doesn't(?). ]

Is that so? Well, you have ever so much moonlit skin! It's truly royal stuff!

[speakveryclearly]

Ahahaha.... [She turns her head shyly.] You flatter me.

It really is true what they say about Earth being so nicely sunlit, huh. [Through all this kickass glass!]

[teenspirit]

Um? Earth is a very viable planet, yes...

[ She hasn't noticed Kanaya's horns yet... ]

[speakveryclearly]

Just look at all this flora! [She moves to put her hand on the leaf of a particularly lovely plant.] In a single place.

[teenspirit]

Yes, this manor must have a truly dedicated garden servant!

[speakveryclearly]

Speaking of which, have you seen any of the staff around here? It seems like quite a bit of effort went into the setup here, but I haven't seen a soul who isn't a "guest".
