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!]]

Indeed. I've been so excited to meet everyone, but there is quite a number of new people here.

[ Oh, hi Yuri. She turns and tilts her head slightly. ]

You seem relatively excited, given the cirumstances.

[ This coming from Morgan "blankly staring at an open wound like it's no big deal" le Fay. ]

I don't often get to meet new people. It has been... a long while.

You've been unable to do so until now? By choice?

Ah, no... Not by choice.

[ She nods. Yuri doesn't have to go into it if she doesn't want to. Morgan can vibe with that. ]

Well, the present situation aside, I'm... glad that you're able to do so. I understand how hard it can be to reconnect.

I'm sorry you've had to experience that, too, my lady. It is... very lonely, isn't it?

[ ... ]

You don't need to refer to me so formally.

[ She's... just going to sidestep that. That's what she gets for relating! ]
sempiternel: (024)

[personal profile] sempiternel 2021-06-06 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ah, yes, she's used to sidesteps in high society, so she lets that slide. ]

Um... Miss Morgan, then? I'm not used to anything more informal...
