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!]]

Alright.

[ he breathes out a sigh. ]

Don't hesitate to come over if you ever feel under pressure. Or if you want to think of a way to kick Host-san's butt.

I'm trying to figure him out, but he's being a wall.

Oh? Has he told you anything about himself?

[ he looks genuinely curious. ]

He said something about having a "family" he wants to protect, but he's staying away from them because he's a danger to them and so on. But what I want to know is what he really wants. Granting wishes for murders can't be for nothing.

Maybe he has a wish of his own that he wants to fulfill?

[personal profile] lastreward 2021-06-01 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
I thought about that too. But then that means there's a bigger force behind him that's pulling the strings?

...That would be bad.

Yup. [ She crosses her arms and nods. ]

But it's something to think about, while we're trying to think of how to get out of here.

It sure is. [ he nods as well, placing his hands on his hips. ] And it's just the first few days with Host-san, so I think we have a chance to crack some more information out of him.

Maybe someone will try to go for him after all.
