Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1


And so, the confusion and turmoil of yesterday's events end as the sun sinks beneath the horizon, leaving the world silent as brilliant stars glimmer and twinkle in the night sky.

However, this only signals the beginning of a new chapter as the game starts in earnest. As the day begins anew, there are a couple of noticeable changes in the area for those who care to venture beyond their bedrooms. First off is the new additions to the second-floor loungeβ€”what was once bare wall is now adorned with large, grandiose paintings of... well, all of you. Much like an art museum, underneath each portrait is a small plate that features some information about the subject, although some of it may or may not include some not-so-innocuous tidbits about your fellow guests.

The second change, thankfully, is far less invasive. Butterfly-winged fairies now flit around out in the open, and while there aren't that many flying around, there's enough of them that they're not too hard to catch sight of as they go about their business. The storekeeper fairy has also made their appearance in the General Store, so guests are free to make all the special orders they want, provided they can afford it.

The weather is pleasant as the sun shines down on them from the blue skies, with only the occasional puffy cumulus cloud drifting about lazily. It's calm, but you know what they say about that and storms. So, how will you start this story?

[[Welcome to Week 1! Feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. The shop is now open for business, so you can start submitting threads for either items or regains. You can also privately contact Hamelin at your leisure!

In addition, a reminder that any Murder Proposals for each week are due by Tuesday 3:00 PM EST/12:00 PM PST! However, you may also submit murder proposals for later weeks!]]

[ Norton was wandering over, weird note from this morning in his hand, when he sees all the acting stuff. ]

Seriously?

[ He looks over C-ta's shoulder at the strange device (Norton's never seen a 21st century camera before, okay?). ] First he talks about everything like it's some kinda story, now he wants us to act them out?

It's kind of really dumb.

[ he SIGHS. ]

But part of me is thinking that he's just looking for ways to entertain himself. At our expense, of course.

Great...

[ Sigh. ] I dunno what he takes us for... And what does that thing have to do with this stupid play, anyway?

I think he just thinks of us as things to entertain himself with. He said he can't die, right? I bet you get really bored after being alive a couple hundred years.

... Doesn't give him an excuse to put us through all this for laughs.

Not at all, but what does it matter to him when we can't make him face the consequences?

. . .

[ He frowns at that. Even if they did gang up on him... ]

Even if we could, we'd still be stranded in Edel-wherever...

[ he...guesses that this guy has a point. SIGH. ] Man, this really isn't easy on us.
