WEEK 4

[whimsicalism]

Even as the castle--is it even right to consider as a 'castle'?--continues to grow more accessible more of the group is whittled away. Even your own memories fade as the Alices continue their 'game'. As the new nautically themed area opens new residents of the castle seem to have appeared. A family of living dolls has moved themselves into the dining hall while a lovesick apple tree familiar from Friday seems to have taken root in the garden. Along with the graveyard in floor three the Alices seem to want you to remember your fallen friends in some very... different ways.

Maybe the upcoming holiday will distract the Alices from moving their game along? Only time will tell.

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

[Welcome to Week 4! Don't forget to submit your memory losses and your weekly AC here. The Alices can be found in their audience hall. As always, don't forget to turn in threads forfabulous prizes.]

1.0 | ARRRrr You Spunkier Than A Fifth-Grader? (Pirate Playground)

[Sometime after the meeting, when everyone has probably spread out again and some might have gone back to double-check their new pirate-bay-slash-One-Piece-diorama, there's a commotion coming from smack dab somewhere in the middle of that playground. It's... cackling? And also sprays of sand?? And also, if you get too close......

Well, you might just get a water balloon to the face, because Niko is out here testing two or three of the cannons, while perhaps unadvisedly actually sitting on one and laughing her ass off. She's firing off water balloons like nobody's business--!!

--and they're all flying at the poor cardboard ghosts in the graveyard?? Why is she bullying the dead and deceased. Why is this happening. Also, if you look closely at the water balloons being fired, they are all oddly-cute caricatures of people here. Maybe even... YOU?]

C'mon, it's like firing at wet tissue paper around here! Get a little livelier, all right? What's the point of these cannons otherwise?!

Ahh, this is more refreshing than a swim, I swear!

[Stop her? Run away screaming? It's choose your own adventure time!]

2.0 | Why Is This Just The Pyro Prompts Bonanza (Festival Stalls)

[... Later finds Niko in a somewhat more pensive mood on a different floor (though more pensive than Cackling Cannon Chaotic ain't hard), now that it's evening (though it's really always evening here) she seems to be more interested in assembling some fireworks on the outskirts of the festival stalls under the fake evening sky.

It's hard to tell if this means the fireworks are going to be outdoors or not, but it could probably be worse than shooting them off in a more open area like this.

She's humming a jaunty (possibly piratical) little ditty as she works, stacking up her wares from the vending machine.]

Well? Do you think I should light them all at once, or a handful at a time? Guess it isn't the season for it, but time is an illusion here anyways.

[It sounds like a private joke with herself, somehow.]

Hey, I've got a better idea. It's no fun JUST hitting stationary targets, right?

[ a portal opened up and a few golden colored water balloons head her way. water balloon fight!!! ]

[octopups]

[Amdi had planned to come sit by the picnic pond for a while to think about Franziska. When the first of him comes out from around a row of stalls and sees Niko and her fireworks, the member stops and the rest of him catches up to stare at her, timid.]

[Then he metaphorically squares up his shoulders and starts to trot past her, heads held high, ostentatiously not looking at her with even one set of eyes.]

[battlestations]

[Locking eyes with an Oriko balloon as it flies toward him, Nigel dodges it at the last second]

You'll have to try harder than that if you want to hit me!

[w-was he talking to Yuniko or IT...?]
