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.

You're not a Republic?

[mostlymarried]

I am a part of a greater Commonwealth. [her tone is spectacularly neutral on the topic]

[motheringnation]

Oh, maybe that's why I haven't heard of you! What Commonwealth?

[She doesn't remember there being any more of those but still.]

THAT... ICON....

[mostlymarried]

...I don't remember. I can barely remember any of the other countries.

it is her "think before you talk Ukraine" icon

[motheringnation]

.....you too?

I think someone here is missing with our memories...I've talked to others who are missing things.

...I can't even remember my sister properly.

[mostlymarried]

I cannot either. She is part of the same Commonwealth, though my brother isn't. That's all I can say.

[motheringnation]

I'm sorry.

Hopefully we'll be able to find a way to get them back.

[mostlymarried]

[she nods]

Dziakuj. New memories can be made.

[motheringnation]

Yes, and I'm sure there's documents at home that would fill in a lot of the missing time.
