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."
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.

O-oh, um... of course.
If you're looking for information, I'm afraid I don't know anything more than anyone else. But I don't mind answering questions.
no subject
[Probably. He pauses, though, almost as if suddenly remembering something.]
... Oh! But where are my manners? My name is Akechi. And you are?
no subject
Luna. It's nice to meet you, Akechi. [She'll gesture for him to sit in the chair next to her. Please. She doesn't want to stand up she just got this dress to stop being so dressy....]
Is there a reason you're gathering information, or are you just curious?
no subject
It's nice to meet you as well, Luna-san. I wish it were under better circumstances, however...
[Don't they all, though. He accepts her invitation, either way, sitting down in the chair next to her.]
Haha... How to put this? A little bit of both, perhaps? I'm a detective, so gathering information in a situation like this is only natural for me. But I can't say I'm not curious about the people we've found ourselves surrounded by.
no subject
[He can't be any older than 20...]
There's definitely quite a lot of us, isn't there? It seems like at least a couple people are familiar with one another, but... over a crowd this large, I can't imagine what all we might have in common for someone to bring us together like this.
...Maybe that's the point, though.
no subject
[He's barely 18. It's fine.]
There are. And that in itself is worrying, isn't it? We've supposedly accepted an invitation of our own free well, but I've yet to encounter someone who recalls doing so. Am I wrong to assume it's the same for you?
no subject
[Her brow furrows in thought, one hand idly resting at her collarbone, fingers curled.]
It's hard to even judge when the invitations could have been accepted at all. We don't even know what day it is, or what year. I believe someone mentioned that the decorations would point to this being Valentine's Day, but... that could just be a facade, couldn't it?
