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.

[ A small dog runs into the conservatory; there's an exasperated shout from outside and moments later a young woman with red hair bursts in after him. She seems surprised to find someone inside. ]

Oh! Hello!

[teenspirit]

[ Sonia marvels over the dog, immediately bending down to pet it. ]

Well, hello!

[tsarcasm]

[ With a smile: ] That's Pooka. I wasn't expecting to find anyone in here. Looks like he knew better.

[teenspirit]

Hee hee... He's so cute...! He makes me miss my dog!

[tsarcasm]

You have a dog back home? ...Where is home for you, anyway? [ There's people here from all over, but she can't quite place where this girl is from. ]

[teenspirit]

There are many dogs upon the castle grounds! Ah... Back in my home country of Novoselic, that is.

[tsarcasm]

I've never heard of Novoselic before... Wait, you said castle?

[teenspirit]

Yes; the family ancestral home.

[tsarcasm]

Your family? Or... someone else's? [ she doesn't seem like a servant, but just in case... ]

[teenspirit]

Mine-! One day, I shall even inherit it.

[tsarcasm]

Well! I certainly wasn't expecting to run into fellow European royalty here. Especially not considering the people I've met so far... [ gun..dam.......]

[teenspirit]

[ Yes. Gundam. ] Oh! Goodness, me! Really-?! I am ever so pleased to meet you! [ Sonia curtseys excitedly. ] From where do you hail?

[tsarcasm]

[ Suddenly Anya's nervous — besides Grandmama, who doesn't really count, this is the first real noble she's had to talk to in a long time. Still, keeping up that smile as she curtseys back! ]

Pleased to meet you! I'm Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia! Though currently I'm living with my grandmother, the Dowager Empress, in Paris. I mean, before waking up here, at least.

[teenspirit]

[ That seems... strangely familiar. Hmm. ]

I am Princess Sonia Nevermind of Novoselic. I have never been to your country, but I should very much like to go one day!

[tsarcasm]

[ ALMOST LIKE A MOVIE, HUH ]

I've never been to yours, either! Or... actually, I've never even heard of it. [ It sounds European, and there sure are a lot of small countries... ] Well, I guess geography was never my best subject anyway.

[teenspirit]

That is fine; no one really has. But... do you mind if I practice my Russian with you?

[tsarcasm]

Oh! Of course! I'd be happy to. Anytime.
