WEEK 1
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?

((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, I suppose you're already tasting it. I see no reason why I shouldn't.
[She'll go ahead and sit down across from Oriko, then.]
no subject
Since Veronica is joining her, the least she can do is soften the sharpness of her "joke."]
I doubt our hosts want the game to end before it's started.
no subject
[She does pour herself a cup, but...]
no subject
Have I given you some reason to be suspicious of me?
[Oriko's already been working on this cup of tea, perhaps evidenced by the small amount of liquid remaining in it. With no hesitation, she lifts the teacup back to her mouth and drinks, then tilts the cup to show Veronica the empty bottom.]
no subject
[...
no servant's going to pour her tea, so she should... awkwardly pour it herself...]
no subject
Political opponents will often stop at nothing to achieve their goals... it's wise advice.
I don't think children care much about politics, though, as a general rule. [Excepting herself. But had that been a mistake all along...?] Do you think anyone else here seems like the type?
no subject
The boy who occasionally bursts into song seems to care a great deal about his country's politics, but I don't think he's the sort to go around poisoning people right now. I think he just wants to agitate for better conditions.
no subject
[So, probably not a poisoner. Oriko elects not to mention his comment about viability of poison in bread.]
Veronica-san, are you not used to being by yourself?
no subject
[...and that's kind of a loaded question, because on the one hand, yes, but on the other hand...]
...
I'm used to having servants.
no subject
[ In its own way, maybe that's just as lonely.]
They'll probably be in some trouble if news of your kidnapping spreads. I'm still not sure if the flow of time is proceeding normally enough for that, though.
no subject
no subject
[Let's hope they're none the wiser.]
I myself don't believe I'd have any political enemies who'd wish me this kind of harm. No, whatever I've done, it's not something one would normally be kidnapped over.
Have you been thinking about how we may have ended up here?
no subject
[...but hmmm.]
My world is connected to many others though gates that the royal families of my empire and the neighboring kingdom have power over, so I would imagine it would be something like that. I don’t know if what the Queen and the Cat are using works differently, though. It probably does.
no subject
But this is nothing like yours, right? I keep hoping I'll meet someone who knows a little more than I do about these circumstances but they've done a very good job keeping them obfuscated.
no subject
...I did think this might be part of the realm of nightmares. We'd been dealing with an invasion from them before I woke up here, so that's what I thought might've been the explanation at first.
