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!))

[it's good that tone conveys what might have been difficult to get across with "stockings" alone]

Well, yeah, we're probably not gonna wear them all day. But it's so we can investigate. There might be a way out or something. And this room is set up for Kirika, it seems like her and Oriko know each other. So it could be really important.

1/2

[imozon]

[She didn't fully understand all that, but she thinks she got the gist of it, which is why she heads over to the remaining outfit.]

In that case, I'll have to help out, too, so we can try on all the clothes and search everywhere! [She points in a basically random direction.] It's decided!

2/2

[imozon]

[After a moment, she brings her hand in and looks at her finger like it did sonething weird, them smiles.]

I never actually said that before.

[ballooncaged]

Wow, sounds like you really are 33 hours old.

[If she's never said that before. Soooooo Mizuki should be patient.]

[imozon]

Yeah.

Well, that was before we woke up here, so now I guess I'm... 33 plus 24 plus...

[She tries counting something out on her fingers.]

57!

[Wrong.]

[whimsicalism]

[Are you ready for some investigation, Dream?]

[imozon]

[As ready as she'll always be! Time to check out room 30, after changing into some dead(?) person's clothes.]

[whimsicalism]

[You look cute!

Now, when she opens the door this room isn't as messy as the other two. It's almost as if those other two people were slobs. There's a stuffed animal near a portrait in a picture frame on the bed. Plus a fancy looking book on the end table. The window is of a picturesque American town in the fifties/sixties.]

[imozon]

[Hmm! Yeah, she doesn't recognize this scenery at all. Oh well.

Being from the kind of canon she's from, that stuffed animal is what demands her attention first. Let's check it out, shall we?]

[whimsicalism]

[A stuffed friend! It's a little tear stained but he's ready to mop up any more tears if needed.]

[imozon]

[Is there anything suspicious about her new friend, or is it just a new friend?]

[whimsicalism]

[Other than the various small stains that were from tears, just a lovable friend. Who thankfully can't currently talk.

I guess she can't really tell they're tear stains in particular unless she licks him but I don't suggest that.]

[imozon]

[In that case, she'll tuck it under one arm and check out the portrait.]

[whimsicalism]

[A young boy is in the portrait.

Oliver - The Wizard

Age: 13
Height: 5'1"
Weight: 100 lbs
Likes: His mother, helping people, his friends
Dislikes: Being called a crybaby, Shadar

"I'm not a crybaby bunting!" - Oliver.]

[imozon]

[Dark Dream doesn't especially know much about boys or the niceness thereof, but Oliver sounds like a nice boy. Possibly one who is a wizard.

Anything on the back? Not that anyone's indicated to her that checking the back would be worthwhile, but shh.]

[whimsicalism]

[A blank piece of paper is glued to the back. You don't have enough information to find out what happened to this wizard boy.]

[imozon]

[Who would glue a blank piece of paper to the back of a picture frame? That's weird. You're weird, possibly-Alice-possibly-Oliver-possibly-someone-else.

Well, she guesses it's time to look at the least exciting thing in the room: the book.]

[whimsicalism]

[Well, it's a very weird book. At least, to a normal person it'd be weird. Dream probably doesn't realize it.

It's a pretty thick book, for one. It's leather exterior has some gold inlay. The first pages introduces that it's called the Wizard's Companion, a guide to being a wizard.]

[imozon]

[Oh, that's more exciting than she expected!

...

......

Not exciting enough that she'll sit here and read the whole thing, but she might take a look inside the cover to see if anyone wrote something there or stashed a note or anything.]

[whimsicalism]

[Nope, no writing or anything like that. You're clear to take your book and new friend.]

[imozon]

[Cool stuff, yay! ]
