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.

[ Altman winces slightly when she kicks the door, the sound of it shuddering in the frame setting his teeth on edge. He relaxes very, very slowly afterward. ]

Maybe they're in there. The people behind all this, I mean.

[allice]

Maybe. Or they could be walking among us, incognito. It would certainly be more clever to hide as an unsuspecting victim of kidnap than a shadowy figure behind a locked door.

[reunified]

[ Altman pauses. He hadn't considered that, and... Wow, okay, yeah. That's not helping the anxiety issues. ]

And nobody would know. With so many strangers it'd be easy. Anyone here could be working on the inside...

[allice]

Exactly. [She sighs.] But, there's no need to start suspecting anyone until we all come together. Regardless of why we're here, we should focus on getting out and leave this matter to the police.

[reunified]

[ He shakes his head. ]

I don't think the police will be coming. This is too big and too organized.

[allice]

Of course they will. No one is just going to miss so many people up and vanishing! In any case there must be some clues left behind when we were taken.

[reunified]

It happens. I've seen it--experienced it--before now. With the right resources, people can make you disappear and the police won't question it.

[allice]

You're wrong. Everyone leaves a trail and anyone can be found. Even us. We will get out of here and we will be found.

[She has to believe that. Not only as someone whose been kidnapped twice in such rapid succession, but as someone who lost family to kidnappers.]
