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.

How is that relevant to my presence here?

[productions]

The audience at home will be interested in hearing about it. Any juicy impressions of the others, perhaps?

[hollowheart]

I doubt anyone here would want to associate with an uninteresting person, like me. [flatly said, as if she's used to saying this often.]

[productions]

So you're a little bit of a loner, Annie? Do you feel that will be an advantage or a disadvantage for you?

[hollowheart]

I don't think of it as an advantage. It's pitiful, that's what it is.

[productions]

So you would prefer to make friends. Is there anyone here who catches your eye in particular?

[hollowheart]

...I hardly know anyone here.

[productions]

Still a little shy. Well, let's hope you'll open up a little.

Now, I'm going to go say hello to a few others, and then there will be time for questions, all right?
