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.

I don't know....

I hope so. If they don't...we'll just have to figure it out for ourselves.

[She offers what is hopefully a reassuring smile. It's hard to keep a non worried look when she's actually terrified but she doesn't want to worry the younger nation.]

[balzams]

If they want to keep us here... it'll probably be really hard.

Hey... Y-you don't think there'll be real murders, do you? It's just a show after all.

[motheringnation]

....Well they can't make us kill anyone right?

[balzams]

... That's not really what I asked.

[He starts to tremble a little at the implications]

[motheringnation]

....sorry.

I'm not sure. I would like to say no....but.

[balzams]

[Sniff]

I-I appreciate your honesty.

[But that doesn't stop him from being scared]

[motheringnation]

[She leans over and hugs him.]

I'm sorry.

We'll just have to look out for each other okay?

[balzams]

[At the first touch he tenses but her warmth is relaxing and he rests his head on her shoulder]

Okay...

Thank-you.

[motheringnation]

[She gives him a squeeze before letting go with a smile.]

You're welcome.

Try not to be too scared alright? We'll get through this.

[And honestly that's as much to herself as him. But it's easier to be brave for others then yourself.]
