week 0 - day 1
[Saturday begins much like Friday, with no further answers provided, and no means of escape. However, at 3 PM on Saturday, the old grandfather clock in the foyer begins to chime. From the foyer, the ballroom doors stand open, and the room is bright with sunshine. Soft, dreamy music plays from a radio inside.
Inside the ballroom, what seems to be a magnificent party is laid out. There is a buffet table laden with finger foods - vegetables and dips, finger sandwiches, pastries, fruit, and cheeses. Next to the table are glasses filled with wine, champagne, or juice. Most of the room is empty, with room to stand and talk, although towards the windows looking out on the courtyard are six tables with five place settings each, set for a larger meal.
And then there's a seventh table, at the back of the room, on which are thirty small notebooks. Inside, the notebooks appear to be some sort of album, with each page containing a picture of and information about your fellow guests.
After everyone has filed in, the doors shut and lock behind the final guest; the doors to the courtyard close as well. You'll have some time to talk amongst yourself, for it will be another hour of dining before anyone else appears]
This is an open mingle log for the welcome feast. Please tag one another. There will be NPC interaction in the post later in the day.

You didn't have to say anything. I don't think all of it is truthful.
[But he's still worried about where they got that picture or collected all that information, the bits that were right at least]
no subject
Even if some of it is false, the fact that some of it isn't is a little unsettling, don't you think?
no subject
Whether it's true or false the fact that we're being given information about everyone else here like this is really making me anxious...

Were you one of the people who woke up here yesterday?

I was hoping that things might become a little clearer today but it just feels like there are even more questions.

[Really, "creepy" is an understatement.]

[That's what worried him the most. There isn't seem to be any rhyme or reason, even briefly looking through the notebook it didn't seem like there was any connection between the people here]

[If they were looking for ransom there were probably a lot more powerful or useful nations that could be taken. Although strangely none of them immediately come to mind]
One of the people I spoke to yesterday said something about bad spirits and possession. Maybe it's for some kind of ritual.

[Lithuania would rather not believe this entire thing was some sort of ghostly possession ritual.]

It doesn't seem like it was deserted before though, and someone had to have bought us here.
[The more they talked about it and the more he thought about it the more it felt like they were just going in circles]

[The idea that someone specifically chose to kidnap him makes him all the more uneasy]
There must be someone behind all this... But what good does it do to leave us all confused?

[In fact just the mention of the word compliant gives him a small surge of adrenaline. He hated being controlled by higher powers]
