bluesclues | WEEK ZERO: WELCOME INTRO

WELCOME

Even from behind your eyelids, the soft glowing light can be seen as you find yourself awakening. The slow swell of strings begins, and as you struggle to open your eyes, the sound of footsteps pass you by. You soon hear three feminine voices speak in unison.

"Master Blue wishes to welcome you all. We hope you enjoy your stay!"

Light temporarily blinds you as you look around, but the source of the voices has vanished. Whomever has greeted you seems to have disappeared without warning, leaving you all alone.

The music starts up and though no orchestra is present, the song can be heard all throughout the room. Crystal chandeliers hang above your head, and the waxed wooden floor gleams brightly. Floor to ceiling windows cover the back wall and a night sky full of stars twinkle back at you. The wall next to it, however, is covered by a thick crimson curtain. Those who attempt to move it will find they have little luck in their endeavor, but there are more pressing matters at hand.

Looking down you'll come to notice that you're wearing clothes that certainly aren't what you were previously wearing. You, and the guests around you, have been dressed appropriately in formal attire properly fitted for each individual.

Oh. That's right. Didn't we mention the other guests? Seated to your left, right, and across from you at the long banquet table are other people just like you. Perhaps it's a friend you know, though don't be surprised if it's a complete stranger. Each individual holds a blue and silver invitation with their name scrawled upon it, and a message to follow.

"Please respond to Master Blue's invitation at least one week prior to the event to secure your seat and accommodations.

This dinner is guaranteed to be an event to die for."

Strange, isn't it?

But rest assured! Nothing is stopping you from leaving the ballroom and exploring the other rooms of Master Blue's home. After all, you're an honored guest! It's with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that you're welcomed here tonight. Really, what's your hurry? It's not as though the front door will open for you. Don't bother with the windows either. They've all been locked tight to ensure you're all nice and cozy for your stay.

If you look under your seat, you'll find a special gift bag with your name on it. Opening these bags will reveal the following:

-A small spiral notebook
-A crayon in a specific shade of blue
-Three different candles
-A brass key (Design May Vary.)
-This cute toy

A welcome gift from the Master, of course.

Take some time to admire the decor, if you will. The house has been decorated for this special holiday with chains of paper hearts, miniature golden cupid statues, and confetti that rains down from the ceiling on occasion. Perhaps you'll get lucky tonight with love in the air, especially since Cupid's arrow seems to aim for you no matter where you go. For those of you who don't wish to partake in the lavish feast spread out in the ballroom, you're in luck. Boxes of chocolate and bowls of candy hearts can be found for all your snacking needs.

As the unseen orchestra plays on, it seems as though you've no choice but to get to know your fellow guests and make yourselves comfortable. Perhaps if you wait long enough, someone will come to greet you.

[Casually browsing the books, Luna starts a bit when the boy in the chair speaks up. She'll shake her head, tucking a strand of her hair behind one ear.]

No, it wasn't just you. I suppose there's too many of us to assume that all of us were given the same things, but...

I... I guess it might be some sort of gag... It seems in poor taste to me, though. Don't you think?

Oh - sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.

[He nods along with what she says, though, glancing down at the toy knife again.]

Yeah. Especially along with the whole thing about a dinner to die for... It doesn't really sit right, does it?

No, not at all.

I don't want to jump to conclusions, of course. But this all seems a little, um... elaborate. Like it might be too intentional to just be a joke.

[Like someone planned this all out for some godforsaken reason GEE THIS FEELS FAMILIAR.]

...Sorry, I guess that sounds a little pessimistic. I really do hope it's just coincidence.

I don't think it really sounds that way. I mean, this Blue person set it up this way for a reason, right? I mean, that reason might just be to mess with us, but...

[He shifts so his elbow is propped on the table, plunking his chin down into his hand.]

You're right. It's a lot of effort to go to if it really is just supposed to make us nervous.

I agree.

I wonder if it's supposed to be some sort of test, then. Or maybe a social experiment of some kind. They would need everyone to know as little as possible, so they kidnap all sorts of people and put them together somewhere they can't escape. Then they observe.

[It sounds very silly, but she says it in such a serious tone that it's hard to tell if it's a joke or not.]

...Maybe.

[He, at least, is immediately ready to accept that she's serious - and that it's a pretty valid possibility.]

It'd have to be a pretty important test, though. I mean, to take the time to orchestrate all this... What could they be looking for?

It's hard to say. There are so many of us, the possibilities are a little endless... Maybe they're testing the limits of the human psyche under pressure, or maybe there's something in this building they want us to find to see how we problem solve... or maybe they're just watching us for sport.

[And this could get into conspiracy theory territory real quick.]

Maybe if we could find a common thread, it might be a kind of hint?

[overflow!]
