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.

Noon - Conservatory

[motheringnation]

[Ukraine notices the person behind the plants.]

....Excuse me....are yo alright?

[notyetlost]

[A-ah--!! No, it's okay! Because there is no way that this person could possibly be addressing him when he is securely hiding behind these incredibly foreign and super weird plants!

Poland ignores the question and scrunches his body even more like he's trying to disappear.]

let's pretend I can spell simple three letter words /facepalm

[motheringnation]

.......

[Ukraine however moves closer.]

Hello?

1/2

[notyetlost]

[Poland can hear her foot steps drawing closer. The words are out of Poland's mouth before he can stop himself.] T-there's no body here!

[That was probably not the smartest thing to do when trying to convince someone the room is empty.]

2/2

[notyetlost]

[Wait no! He can fix this! Um-- um!!]

I mean-- No body but us plants!





[Nailed it.]

[motheringnation]

Plants can't talk though.

[notyetlost]

S-shut up! We can! We totally can!

[motheringnation]

[She stops moving forward at least.]

My name's Ukraine. I'm sorry if I startled you. I really am. I was just worried you were hurt.

[notyetlost]

You can't--! You can't startle such super cool shrubbery like us! W-we're supposed to be startling y-you!

Talking plants! Ooooooh! Spooky!

[motheringnation]

[Trying not to face palm.]

....I can see you're not really a plant.

[notyetlost]

Nuh uh!

[motheringnation]

Why are you hiding?

[notyetlost]

I'm not hiding! [He's totally hiding.]

The real question here is um... Why are you sneaking up on people?

Er--Plants! I meant plants!

[motheringnation]

I'm just looking around.

....I'm not really sure how I got here....I was hoping to maybe find a phone or something.

[notyetlost]

[A phone would be helpful actually.] Ah... did you find one?

[motheringnation]

No, I'm still looking though.

You haven't seen one have you?

[notyetlost]

[Poland shakes his head no.]

[motheringnation]

Do you want to help me look? That way we might find it more quickly. We can go together?

If we run into other people I can do the talking for us if you'd like.

[notyetlost]

[Well.

As far as strangers go he supposes she seemed nice enough. Aside from her super rude inability to acknowledge the existence of talking plant life. And if he found a phone he could call his partner to come get him...

It takes a long moment or two before Poland finally comes out from behind the conservatory's plants, twisting his hands in front of him anxiously.]

[motheringnation]

[She offers a small wave in return.]

Hello.

[notyetlost]

Ah... h-hi.

[This is terribly awkward.]

[motheringnation]

I'm Ukraine. What's your name?

[notyetlost]

{Hand twisting intensifies! If it were possible his fingers would probably be in knots.]

P-poland...

[motheringnation]

It's nice to meet you Poland.

[And you get a warm smile, because you're reminding her of her little brother when he was tiny.]

It's a shame it has to be in a strange place like this though. But I'm sure we'll be able to find something to help us get out.

[notyetlost]

Ah um. Yes, you too U...ukraine.

[Her smile is a little comforting actually, she's way more calm than most of the other people he's met here so far. The people he came across at the fence made him think his heart was going to explode out of anxiety. Speaking of getting out though--]

... there's a fence. Around the whole property. It... ah. It's like electrified and d-doesn't have a gate.
