WEEK 2

[whimsicalism]

The first week at the castle passes without any (recent) murders. Mysteries were found, questions asked, bonds formed, and Halloween celebrated. Now as Sunday 'dawns', you might feel your mind a little lighter as your first memories fade. Will this be just a week celebrating the (questionably) best thing about October or will more sinister things be afoot?

Either way, it looks like the Alices will continue their game.

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

No? Well, Kids Next Door operatives are trained to use a wide variety of items in combat. I'd be game.

[SURELY THERE WOULD NOT BE AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT HERE. BECAUSE THIS IS BACKTAGLAND.]

Aless who? ...For the record, I'd have assumed it was sorcery from the start if it wasn't for the 'word' part.

[KND villains mostly use tech but sometimes a dude busts out of nowhere with an ancient magical ritual. You learn to accept these things.]

I can only use a knife like this, but I've been practicing ♥.

[ It'd be nice if he had his pocketwatch, but alas. And ofc not, no conspicuous injuries here. ]

Y'know, Aless. [ Stretching the word out so it sounds closer to Alice. ] The "word" is the most important part, though.

Well then, let's have a go same time next week. I'll get some practice in myself.

[As for Aless, he gets it now. He can appreciate a good name-based insult, so it gets a grin out of him]

Pfft, right. ....How so?

Next week? Fiiiiine. But don't forget! [ Really the only reason he's okay with this is because he doesn't have a proper blade yet. Maybe that'll change by then! It won't bc his player continues to sit on a coin mountain. ]

Our words bend reality, so being specific is important. You can say something like "dissolve" but dissolve what? If you don't specify it could be anything from a soggy newspaper to skin!

I wouldn't set up a challenge just to run from it. I'll be right here.

[It gives him some time to get a feel for the axe since he'd mostly ignored it. He wants to give it his best after all!]

So it's an ability that's unpredictable, yet powerful once you master it. Are there limits to that?
