murder manor week zero



saturday

[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.

[well yours isn't so bad at least... flicking through the rest of it though... more countries? Aliens? Super spies?]

Someone... really wants us to know all this...?

[obsideo]

Yeah. Who knows why, but considering how much it says about poison and stuff...

(She trails off, raising her eyebrow.)

[terriblesister]

N-Nah! No-one'd do that... right?

[obsideo]

I sure hope not. I'm just starting to get worried. Some of these profiles are really crazy stuff. What if there's someone dangerous here?

(She doesn't want to think so, but she can't help being suspicious. That's who she is.)

[terriblesister]

[...and now she can't stop thinking about it either. "Sadism with remorse"? A lot of people that seemed to know about crime scenes... high pain tolerances.....

Even Felicia has something. But then there's her. "Special skills: None."

She swallows]

We can... get out, right?

[obsideo]

We'll have to.

(She looks determined. Something bad is going on, but...there's no chance she'll be beaten or let anyone else get hurt.)

[terriblesister]

...Have you been in anything like this before?

[obsideo]

No.

(The sad thing is Marlow is so out of her depth. She's never even heard of anything more unusual than a haunting. She's gotten mixed up in some weird stuff, but nothing like this.)

But we'll get through it.

[GIRL, SHE CAN RELATE]

Ah... ha....

[Yuzu just shivers. Why her. What did she even do...]
