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.

[that's a feature, not a bug. anya only gets one fucking name so it's the same for the rest of you]

How to say... Покоряющей? You are someone easy to like. Not a bad person.

It is a good start.

[anya standards are oN THE GROUND]

You should try not to get attached. We're never going to see each other again once we're out.

[ which will be hopefully soon and not in two months ]

[why is he like this. she looks visibly disappointed at that]

No...? You do not want to be friends?

You can't just become friends with someone immediately.

Hmm... It is okay to try.

[to be friends with someone immediately, she means, but]

Опять таки... It would be easier to be friends if we see each other again. Or... Текстовое сообщение? Text message!

[gen z babies]

[ he just tilts his head ]

I don't even have my phone here.

[ they can't exchange info wow ]

Hm... Maybe after then.

[she doesn't seem bothered by it]

I have a good memory, so I will remember the number. Ответ. So when I say hello, please answer.

[a beat]

Ah... If you would like to.

Is this how you make all of your friends?

[ he'll just side step the question ]

[she lets him, for some reason]

I think... for me... if I do not say I want to be friends, then someone might not understand me.

Упущенный шанс... To not have a chance to make a friend with someone - it feels a little sad.

[(sarazanmai voice) i want to connect]

Sometimes life is just like that.

[ it's fine

but he's going to actually start doing what they came here to do. which is.... find something sticky ]

[it

takes her a second to do the same because that thought makes her a bit sad]

... It does not have to be, I think.

[eventually she'll start rifling through the drawers though]

Do you think so?

Yeah.

[ no glue or tape or (checks notes) gum here. he looks at another drawer. ]

That kind of thing is a privilege that not everyone can afford.

[she's not even looking for gum, that's how thoroughly she abandoned her own idea. nothing in this drawer either!!]

"Privilege"...?

[she repeats the word, trying to understand]

What do you mean?

[ he just sighs. toi clearly does not want to explain. ]

Making friends is just not everyone's priority.

[hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

she could back off or]

... can I ask what is your priority?

[she can reroute,]

To get out of here.

[ that is his current priority ]

[she nods!! accepting that!

for like 10 seconds]

.... После? And after?

... what about you?

[ he just so very blatantly swerves again ]

[HE DIDN'T EVEN TRY]

Скрытный... Do you not like to talk about yourself?

You're asking a lot about me but aren't saying anything about yourself.

Mm... that is true.

[admittedly it's because he wasn't asking before, but she will go along with it easily]

Глупо... Anya only has a choice that feels... silly to go back to. But I would like to work more...

Work?

[ sometimes you just steer the conversation away from yourself ]

[unfortunately she lets him!!]

Да! Yes - Anya works as an idol.

[she looks rather proud about this fact!]

I do not know if I am a very good idol... but I would like to be.

[ an idol........

kazuki has some competition ]

Would you quit if you weren't?

[wow great question - and it makes her pause]

... Нет - I do not think so...

I think... I would like to make people happy more than I would want to give up. Pазочаровывать... I do not want to make people sad when they believe in me.
