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.

[ He chuckles, waving a hand slightly ]

Don't you worry about it. Doesn't bother me none now, since I've been away from 'em for so long. And I'll tell you what, call me Clyde. Just don't worry about the "Barrow" part.

[souredsweet]

If you are certain, Mr. Clyde. [coupled with a polite nod.]

I do still apologize. Despite the amount of time passed, injuries of that nature are surely difficult for many to heal fully.

[coca_cola]

From time to time, maybe, but it sounds like I've got bigger things to worry about for now, huh?

[ He waves his booklet idly ] True or not, there's lots of interestin' stuff in here, so I'll be thinkin' about the present way more than the past.

[souredsweet]

[a soft hum of agreement.] There is nothing wrong with living in the present. It may be to your benefit in this case. [and then, because this is a conversation that should BE ABORTED QUICKLY:]

Speaking of which, there are a few people I feel I must speak to now. This book does an unkindness to several.

[coca_cola]

Yeah, seems like it.

[ He can see you stepping out of this conversation Kaoru!! And he's a bit disappointed, since he'd been hoping to speak with her (him?) a little more. But he imagines he'll have enough time, so he nods back over his shoulder. ]

Don't let me keep you.

[souredsweet]

It was a pleasure speaking to you again.

[a bow, and Kaoru sets off to find those other people yeah...]
