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

[Hello, and welcome to week 2! Don't forget to submit your memory losses here and your activity here. If you want to ask or annoy the twins you can do so here. As always, don't forget to turn your threads in for 'fabulous prizes.]

You are, but you don't have to be. Nobody here wants to have to kill other people. You can change the rules and keep more people from having to die, or kill other people!

[She seems to have a greater problem with people killing people than with people dying which is... strange, but noted.]

[You get your perspectives skewed when you're a ghost. It happens.

Still, the Queen seems set in whatever memories she has.]

I behave. I don't curse, I don't spill my tea, I'm a nice girl. I'm nlonely but I don't want to hurt people. I'm not... I'm not mean. I'm not mean. I'm not like them. I'm not, I'm not.

Alice! Alice, it's okay! We can go take a nap. I'll read to you.

I'm not.. I'm not.. I'm not like them, no. I'll--my head.. my head hurts so much.. I think. I think I'll go take a nap, thank you, Alice..

[It seems the Alices wander off. Use what you learned wisely, Franziska.]

[YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE! NOT FOREVER!]

You can always choose to be better.

[But she can hear slight sounds of movement behind the door, and finally after waiting several moments for a response she turns away, and looks back at Ib's small body, in the middle of the hall. The red of her dress looks lurid against the black and white of the room, and makes the paper and plastic Halloween decorations look very tawdry.

She'll just have to... keep trying later. There has to be a way to get Alice to send them home, since nothing they've found thus far has provided another way.]

[So, Dark Dream isn't staring at the dead girl anymore. Her attention's been on the living girl for the past couple of minutes.]

Did you mean all that?

[littlebratziska]

Did I mean all of what?

[imozon]

What you said. About soldiers, and nobody wanting to kill people, and choosing to be better.

[littlebratziska]

I never say anything I don't mean. You should always strive to be better than you were before anyway, so that makes it easy.

[imozon]

So you keep improving every day...

[She's heard that before, hasn't she?]

All right. I'll be sure to get better, too.

[littlebratziska]

That is the only logical way to do it, don't you agree?

[imozon]

I guess. I've never really improved much.

[littlebratziska]

There is always time to begin.

[imozon]

...right. I have time now.
