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!))

Oh! It's not a representative or anything. It stands for "repetition". When you do something more than once. So if you're supposed to lift the weight fifty times, then you'd say you're gonna do "fifty reps".

[Shrug.] Maybe fifty "times" would be more straightforward, but when you're talking about a bunch of different exercises like curls or whatever, "reps" just sounds more general somehow.

[xxxx_me]

...

Fifty times sounds like a lot.

[Is this... what Exercise truly is??]

[ballooncaged]

Well, is fifty steps a lot?

[xxxx_me]

[Thinking that one over!]

...I guess not.

[ballooncaged]

[Wow! She's a great teacher actually!]

So all you have to do start from a point where one rep just feels like one step, or maybe two or three.

[xxxx_me]

And then take more steps... more reps?

[ballooncaged]

Some people actually do practice with weights strapped on their legs.

[Might be pushing it for Allen though.]

[xxxx_me]

...I don't think I could walk very well with books tied to my legs.

[How would they even rig that up...]

[ballooncaged]

Oh! Yeah, you're right. The shape of stuff we use for that is totally different.

[Hm...]

I'm not saying you have to do something you're uncomfortable with.

[xxxx_me]

[He shakes his head.]

I'll just start with something small. Like lifting a few books at a time.
