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.

[-oh wait she just barged straight in and doesn't know this person er-]

I'm Yuzu! Hi!

[SMOOTH]

[motheringnation]

[She's a little taken by surprise at this but tries to hide it. Instead offering a wave.]

Ah hello....

I'm Ukraine.

[terriblesister]

Huh, [that sounds almost familiar for some reason] nice name.

[terriblesister]

...Still, what is this place? Is it really just... us? [as in the 'we the kidnapped' sense]

[motheringnation]

Thank you...

[She shrugs slightly.]

I don't know. I was trying to explore and find out more....but so far all I've found are the flowers and a few other people as confused as I am.

[terriblesister]

I can't find my cellphone either; have you seen any telephones anywhere?

[motheringnation]

No.

And mine's gone as well. ...actually all my things were gone except my pitchfork...

I don't know why that was there but not my normal clothes.

[terriblesister]

Your pitchfo-

[terriblesister]

[-ffffff]

[terriblesister]

[oh she ah. sees that now. haha... ha...]

A-Aaa, it's... gotta call home, y'know? [sob]

[motheringnation]

Um....are you alright?

[terriblesister]

Ahaha it's... I didn't think you were a.. pitchfork person [is that even a term-]

[motheringnation]

.....Ah...

[Probably not. She reaches over to pick up her pitchfork and fiddle with it.]

Well sometimes I get some free time to help with the farming at home....it's easier to just have my own...

[terriblesister]

You live on a farm? [wow, colour her impressed! and yes this is the closet Yuzu has gotten to foreign territory...]

Will your folks be okay without you?

[motheringnation]

Not always. I just help out from time to time. I travel a bit.

I hope so.... I have to get back to them soon of course but hopefully I won't be here too long.

[terriblesister]

Ahaha, I haven't really been outside of the city myself. I don't want to worry my sister and-

[terriblesister]

[.....? It's crazy; like a tripping block in her mind.

And who?]

[motheringnation]

Um.....are you alright?

[terriblesister]

[and who?! She... didn't have a father, no that was ridiculous, that her step-dad wasn't there was one of the things that drove Mei up the wall. And she didn't have any other siblings...

...so it had to be a mother, right?

Yuzu stumbles against the wall of the conservatory, one hand massaging her head. How do you... was this amnesia? Of course she had a mother, she hadn't raised herself but...

...somehow she can't remember anything.

It's terrifying.]

[motheringnation]

[Ukraine quickly puts her pitchfork against the wall and rushes to the girls side to make sure she hasn't just had a stroke or something.]

What's wrong. Can you hear me? Breathe calmly.

[terriblesister]

[Yuzu can only stare blankly]

I-I... I can't remember!

[motheringnation]

[She's not sure what's going on but she nods.]

Okay take a deep breath. Whatever it is we'll figure it out. I promise. But you can't panic. That won't solve anything.

[terriblesister]

[well that sort of works. Her eyes seem to regain focus as she lets out a shaky breath]

...I'm just being an idiot, right? I can't... remember my own mother...

[anything about her mother...]

[motheringnation]

It's probably shock. Will wear off in time.

My own head is foggy too, maybe we were just drugged and that is why you're forgetting. Or shock. Could be shock.

Just take another deep breath.

[terriblesister]

...

...How are you so calm about this?
