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.

[herpreciousrival]

Would you like some help?

[balzams]

[He wasn't sure if he should really trust her or not. Normally he would welcome the help but he had such a bad feeling]

No thank-you, I'm fine.

[herpreciousrival]

[She bends down to pick up a book regardless.] It's the least I could do as thanks for letting me sleep in your very nice house!

Besides how else will you reach to put them away?

[balzams]

Hmm?

Oh, no you're mistaken!

This isn't my house, I don't even work here. I just woke up here this morning...

[herpreciousrival]

You're not the owner either? How distressing...

[It was so impolite to sleep in someone else's house with out being introduced. Either way she'll continue to help him clean.]

[balzams]

I don't think anyone knows who the owner is.

[Occasionally he'll snatch a book away as she's about to pick it up and attempt to put it back himself]

Nobody I've spoken to knows where we are or why we're here either.

[herpreciousrival]

[Latvia your manners are terrible-- she'll let him snatch the books away without complaint though.] Ah, well if you're not the owner you're still someone yes?

[balzams]

I suppose...?

I'm not entirely sure what point you're trying to make.

[herpreciousrival]

[Terrible!] Introductions of course! Here let me start. I am Sailor Aluminum Siren, it's so nice to meet your acquaintance! [She'll offer him her business card!]

And then this is where you introduce yourself to me.

[balzams]

[He takes the business card and looks at it curiously. Was he supposed to have something like this too?]

If that's the case you should just introduce yourself normally...

My name is Latvia, it's nice to meet you too.

[Well, maybe not but it was standard formalities at this point]

[herpreciousrival]

Was my method of introducing myself irregular? [She bows apologetically.] My apologies, Mr. Latvia.

[balzams]

Well... things like asking if someone is someone.

Normally you just state your name and a greeting.

[herpreciousrival]

I simply meant that even if you're not the owner of the home, you're still someone worth exchanging names with!

[balzams]

Oh, that's... Um, thank-you.

S-so what kind of people aren't worth exchanging names with?

[herpreciousrival]

Everyone's worth an introduction, even the most useless of people.

[balzams]

Then why don't you just introduce yourself to everyone anyway?

[herpreciousrival]

Oh I will once I meet them. I'd only gotten up a few minutes ago. [There's nothing wrong with sleeping until shortly before 2 pm in a stranger's house right?] Before meeting you I only met one other person.

[balzams]

Is that so...

There seems to be a lot of people here. I haven't met all of them yet but I wonder how many there are...
