castle_whims | 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?

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!))

Nothing you need to hear!

[He's blushing now, embarrassed- he's trying so hard not to curse in front of the younger kids here!]

And yeah, you get a bunch of kids running wild in a place like this someone is gonna get hurt...

[He drops the bag down to dig through, pulling out a cute white dress and a sunhat]

... I mean it might be kinda short, but I could probably manage this if I keep my shorts on.

[Allen's just a sad bean again, head tilting downwards.]

...

I can hold onto the bag...

You? Well. It would be quicker.

[He's clearly surprised though, but like, even Numbuh Four has dressed up like a girl to get into places, so he knows he shouldn't be.

He's also not curious about it at all, though. Plus, he's got places to be. So, looking over at Allen now.]

I actually need to track down Cassandra.... Will you be alright going with him?

[He would NOT blame him if he wasn't.]

Wouldn't be the first time I've dressed up for a mission. It's only weird if you make it weird.

[Looking up again.]

I'll be okay.

[It's... probably better to be with someone while checking the room anyway.]

What kind of missions are you doing?

[He knew Neku was a spy!!]

Good. Be very careful.

[he'll leave soon. He's definitely not interested!!]

Wouldn't YOU like to know?

[Smirk. He pulls off his shirt and yanks the dress on over his head. He's scrawny enough there's no worry about tearing it, but he was right that he's too tall for it. But since he kept his pants on there's no issue there. He takes his headphones off and hands them over to Allen to hold and plops the hat on.

He looks very not cute.]

Alright so... this one is Lillie's, yeah?

[Quietly picking up the bag and walking over to it.]

Yeah. It's got her name, too.

[He meant to just jiggle the handle to test the lock. Really! But...]

[It opens! It looks fairly normal, at least? Definitely lived in and there looks to be a little nest on the desk of some sort. A portrait on the pillow of the bed.

A doll is laying on the bed, too, and uh. What's that?

A large pink thing is running at you. It doesn't look happy but it's not attacking as it jumps up and down upset.]

... okay so maybe just the bag or hat would have worked.

[... he's not taking off the dress though, these things are harder to wiggle out of than on, he's found. Not that he has much time to consider it cuz there's a marshmallow?????]

WHAT THE-?!

[The creature stops at Allen, looking at Neku when he yelled. It seems to be yelling back, pointing wildly at the bag and the fact that Neku's wearing Lillie's dress.

Why would you do that to this poor thing?]

[Allen is very surprised by this turn of events, in part because he didn't even expect the door to open for him, much less for a creature to be inside.

Looking between the critter and Neku. Oh...]

Were you locked in there...? Did you know Lillie?

[oh... maybe it was her pet? He awkwardly takes the hat off]

[At the name, the critter turns and nods with a noise. Yes, it does seem to know Lillie and still seems to be upset about whatever happened to her.

If you look over the Clefairy, there does seem to be some sort of food and water bowl next to the desk. It's full.]

[Kneeling... down... to its height??]

Do you... know what happened?

[Nod, nod.]

[He walks in, wiggling out of the dress and putting his shirt back on- wearing a dead girls threads was already awkward. In front of some... one(?) who knew her is too much.

While Allen talks to it he'll go look at the portrait]

Can you say anything?

[...It's worth a try. Animals talk in the Dream, after all.]

[Lillie looks probably happier in the portrait than she has a right to considering her fate.

Lillie | The Runaway

Age: 11
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 105 lbs
Likes: Nebby, Moon, her brother
Dislikes: Her mother, watching people or Pokemon getting hurt, being in the way

"We're not made for you to just discard when you get bored with us!"- Lillie

If he turns it over it reads: Executed on Week Five. Startled Catarina and accidentally caused her fatal fall. Gave herself up so no one else would have to suffer for the accident.]

... poor kid.

[let's look at that doll]

[It looks like a smaller version of the creature near Allen.]

WHAT? That's seriously all it takes?!

[He wishes he'd thought of that, he looks pretty silly in Catarina's outfit and he could have just gone with the kerchief. He is far enough from the Clefairy that he reacts with just confusion.]

Is that a Rainbow Monkey??

...I wore all this for nothing. Great.

You looked like you were having fun with that though.

[Okay now for real, he's gonna go back into Catarina's room and take off her outfit.]

Good luck with the rainbow monkey!

[Just glaaaare, but he'll let the little shit go]
