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

house calls

[Niko is actually using one of the sleeping bags more like a body pillow at this point, half of it is all spread out underneath her and holding a spot of cookies and popcorn (spread out on a towel because there's no sense in sleeping on crumbs, right?) and the other half is all bunched up in her arms as she stares over the top of it.

In fact, only her eyes and pigtails are visible as she stares fixedly at the screen, and she seems to jump a little when the normally quiet Oriko suddenly lets out her exclamation -- she might have chosen this corner of the room both for camaraderie and quiet, really.

She is a very quiet movie watcher herself, after all, only muttering into her armful every now and then. But she tilts her head a little.]

I-I mean, it just means that they might be like us, right? There's something keeping them there...

[Who knows what they're watching but it's doubtful that there's any overt indication of a force field or other type of trap in the movie. Maybe she's just being charitable.....]

How would you leave, Mikuni-san?

[prescience]

[Oriko has already settled down from her small outburst, though she has one hand fisted tightly in a pillow still, still feeling the aftereffects of the certain type of frustration that can only be felt for stupid horror movie tropes.

Yuniko's reading of the situation is much more complex than she'd originally given the movie credit for, and a much less impulsive Oriko considers the evidence.]

I suppose my response was short-sighted and superficial. I had hoped they'd just leave through the front door, or never entered at all.

[But it's hindsight that supposed to be 20/20, isn't it? And those are the rules she has to live by, just like everyone else. She tilts her head to the side, trying to give this issue as serious consideration as the other girl has.]

If it wasn't as simple as leaving the normal way, I'd have to distract the evil spirits first. Once a diversion was created, that would be the time to escape or figure out how to get rid of them...
