WEEK 2

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.]

Maybe the monster wishes they'd leave the house as badly as I do.

[She lays her hand across her chest, feeling the flutter of adrenaline from the scream.]

It's a good thing the monsters can't jump through the screen. These ones are fake.

Oh! So it's just trying to scare them away.

[Probably not.]

If they're fake anyway, it doesn't matter, right? I would be more worried about then jumping through the screen if they were real.

[...that came out a little wrong.]

Movies aren't real, unless they're documentaries. And even then, they can control what you see.

[Ah... perhaps that's getting too deep into the subject, for now.]

Actually, I think it means them harm. If they were able heed my warning maybe things would work out differently.

Oh, I get it. The monster wants them gone, whether they leave alive or not. Do you think it just really wants the house?

[...the sad thing is, depending on the movie, that might not be far from the truth.]

[That is sad, and not uncommon. Is a monster that can control its actions and feelings that much worse than a monster that acts on pure instinct alone?

This movie, though, seems a little less complex in its representations: It was enough to get her to groan at the characters in frustration, after all.

Who can say? Remember: The person telling the story is the one who controls what you see. They probably just want the monster here to scare you, because its actions are a catalyst for what those people are doing.

So the monster might have all kinds of things it wants to do, but the people who made the movie are keeping it a secret?

[Has she already forgotten the monster isn't real? No, but she... might not be thinking about it.]

Isn't that how it is for everyone, whether they're a monster or not?

People keep their own secrets, but they hide things about others, too - lie about them, draw conclusions without ever really knowing them.

[This is about six layers too deep than whatever they're watching deserves credit for. Oriko clears her throat and stops looking half so pensive.]

It's possible the movie makers didn't even think of it, though. So...we should try to just enjoy it for what it is, shouldn't we?
