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!))

Well... How can I say no? I can just stick whatever I wish on them?

[He loved decorating cupcakes and cookies with Momma... maybe this will give him a similar sort of joy!]

[rhododendronhoney]

Depends on what you can find in here, but yeah! I like the baking part most, but if we can't do that decorating is fun too!

[seventhlittlemonster]

Yes, I do wish there was some way to cook... I would try making one of Momma's recipes for everyone if I could.

[He took one of the flower-shaped cookies.] Hmm... Petals will beeee... purple. [He shall search. for foodstuffs.]

[rhododendronhoney]

Yeah...there's so many recipes I'd like to share here. My family owns a bakery, after all.

There's some grape gumdrops over there, I think? They're a good shape for petals, even.

[seventhlittlemonster]

[It's too late he had taken a red cabbage and chewed at the leaves until they fit.]

Mother makes the best rutabega pudding, you should try it!

[Ah.

His family recipes are those kind of recipes.]

[rhododendronhoney]

[...oh.] Well, I've never had rutabega pudding at all before. Though my grandma makes a pretty mean figgy pudding, if I say so myself.

[seventhlittlemonster]

I have only ever heard of figgy pudding in a song. Funny enough me and everyone else made a song about rutabega pudding to fit with Two's piano song.

[He just sticks the cabbage leaves on each petal of the cookie.] And of course the center of it has to be yellow... Oh boy!! [He immediately placed a cheese cube in the center.] There! It's perfect!

[rhododendronhoney]

[Aw, that sounds cute. It certainly brings a smile to Cori's face.] Do you remember how it goes? [She nods at his cookie too. Not her choice, but he can decorate however he wants!]

[seventhlittlemonster]

Oh, uh, I'm not the best singer but... [He cleared his throat and hummed a little before the words left his mouth]

♪ Swing loooooow, sweet rutabega pudding, into the monster's hoooome... ♪ [It became clear immediately it was a rehash of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"... but Three was the one who introduced him to the song so Seven is blameless here!]

[rhododendronhoney]

[Hey, using existing music is a filking classic! Cori knows the tune at least, so she'll hum along as he sings.]

[seventhlittlemonster]

♪ Swing loooooow, sweet rutabega pudding, coming to our dear sweet hoooome... ♪ [He took another cookie, a snowflake this time.] Hmmm... This would be prettier if it had glittery icing.

[rhododendronhoney]

You could maybe use sugar for that? If it's the right type it can look kind of glittery.

[seventhlittlemonster]

Of course! I'll just have to find it... [but who would just put straight sugar on a dining room table.. hm...]

[rhododendronhoney]

[To be fair, there's a few condiment-style jars around. After a bit of searching, Cori at least finds some sugar cubes, which she passes over.]

You can try crushing these up?

[seventhlittlemonster]

Thank you, sis- [he. shut his mouth that was a slip of the tongue.]

[rhododendronhoney]

[Oh no, cute~] Aw, it's okay, I don't you calling me that if you want. [She's already put him into the Baby Brother Brain Box, okay?]

[seventhlittlemonster]

...thank you- you just... remind me of One. It's the short hair. [Oh no he feel a feel]

[rhododendronhoney]

Really? Well, I'm flattered by that comparison, even if I'm not the oldest back home. [She stands up to give him another brief hug.] You can come looking for me if you wake up at night, alright? Whether it's to get a snack or just talk.

[seventhlittlemonster]

Aw... Thank you... [he's almost about to cry but this was like. the most comfort he's gotten for a hot minute around here]

[rhododendronhoney]

No problem. We've got to look after each other while we're stuck here, right? [She reaches up to wipe the corner of his eye a bit.]
