WEEK 1

[whimsicalism]

Well! That was some tea party, huh? You've finally seen the faces (or perhaps the singular is more proper here?) of your captors. A pair of creepy twins seem to fit the overall theme of the Castle at least. Why not have Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum, after all?

Regardless, it doesn't seem that they're changing their minds any time soon. The first floor of the Castle is still open up to you. The Audience Hall is still locked most of the time so perhaps you can meet the Alices there if you need to. There are plenty of things to occupy your time before the inevitable slow erosion of your memories. If this is a game, who will make the first move? You or the twins?

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday

((OOC: Welcome to peace week! There will be no case this week so just have fun and explore. If you want to investigate please put Investigation in your top level. Don't forget to put threads in for regains or go to the Audience Hall to meet the Alices.

Also, if you want to keep up to date on things we now have a discord server!))

[He was just planning on carrying these books back to his room but. Hi there, Neku.]

-Missing?

[He only caught the tail end of that.]

[scratchitti]

Hey. And yeah... there's a bunch of empty locked rooms. Maybe Alice and Calice planned to snatch more kids?

[xxxx_me]

[Looking up and down the hall at the rooms...]

They're empty?

[Hmm.]

[scratchitti]

They're locked- so maybe there IS something in there. But I don't wanna think 'oh hey there are probably more kids stuck in there'.

So yeah, let's say they're empty.

[xxxx_me]

[Looking upwards in thought.]

When I was in the Dream, I usually had to solve a puzzle to unlock doors... Mm, but this isn't part of that.

[Allegedly.]

[scratchitti]

They come off like the types to play that kinda game though. We could just kick them down though...

[xxxx_me]

Doesn't that count as damage to the castle?

[scratchitti]

... yeah. And those kids already don't like me. So maybe I shouldn't test them yet.

[xxxx_me]

[Glancing over at his own room before...]

If you want, I can put these in my room and help you look around.

[scratchitti]

If you're busy don't worry about me. But if you're bored I guess I wouldn't mind the company.

[xxxx_me]

I should probably do something besides read today.

[Smiling a little wryly. He knows he can get caught up in books.]

Just a minute.

[He'll hurry to his room to deposit the books before coming out again to rejoin Neku.]

[scratchitti]

[So, now where to wander so to not counter the later timeline, hm? Neku goes for the media room, which he hasn't really looked at yet]

You know, I always expected castles to be... bigger.

[xxxx_me]

Don't they usually have lots of different floors? And a big gate, too.

[He pauses for a second before falling into step behind Neku.]
