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.

It's like I was saying before, not all of the information in here is entirely accurate. It doesn't make sense to reveal everything from the start. Perhaps they want to draw answers out of each other...

I perform ancient rituals passed down from my ancestors. Though, due to having sworn to secrecy to never reveal those rituals and spells, I can't give you a specific answer. I'm sure you understand.

Of course. [It's difficult to tell if Bernkastel believes her or not.] I suppose it could have escaped their notice.

Mn, quite a handful of things are missing actually. "Sadism without remorse" is a nice touch though. [ She laughs lightly as if it's just some silly joke played on her by a good friend. ]

You don't have any objections about yours?

[miraculous]

I may, or I may not. It's more interesting to have to figure it out on your own, I think. [She takes another sip of her wine.]

[ She gives a hearty laugh, throwing back her head a bit. ]

So you do like games! Well, it's good to know someone around here enjoys a little fun.

The world would be quite boring without a few games to liven it up.
