WEEK ZERO: WELCOME INTRO

[cluedin]

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.

[oathic]

Have you met your roommates yet?

[mammoney]

Uh.

[That's such a random ass question???]

No?

[oathic]

[.................... hm]

When you do, you can't go after her, okay? You're not allowed. Hands off! No peeking at her either! Though I guess she'd kill you first, if you did...

Anyway! I know she's a great woman, but you're not allowed to date her.

[a beat.]

Got it?

[mammoney]

[....................................................]

Who're you even talkin' about? What woman?

[oathic]

You'll know.

Remember what I said. Or else I'll find you...

[mammoney]

[He's....really not impressed.]

Yeah? You and what army?

[oathic]

[he just smiles. complete with the swirly glasses.]

[mammoney]

Okay, weirdo...sheesh, you almost give Levi a run for his money...

[Just. Shrugging.]

Who are you, anyways?

[oathic]

I have many names.

[mammoney]

Is "Obsessed Moron" one of them?

[oathic]

I can add that to the list. Obsessed Kim...

[mammoney]

I'm not tryin' to give you another name? What's wrong with you?

[oathic]

Well, you suggested it...

[mammoney]

Maybe I should call you "Headache" instead, because that's what you are!

[oathic]

I get that sometimes.

[mammoney]

Anyways, Headache, anythin' else you want to say? Or are you just here to be more of a weirdo in my direction? I have things to do.

[He doesn't have things to do.]

[oathic]

[...]

Look after Brilith, if you're going to be sharing a living space with her.

Just, you know, don't date her.

[mammoney]

You're askin' the wrong person since I'm not like, the date-crazy type. Like, I'm not Asmo.

[As if he should totally know who Asmo is supposed to be.]

[oathic]

A friend of yours?

[mammoney]

No, one of my younger brothers. He's like, super into that kind of thing. Though he's way more into what usually happens after the date, if you know what I mean.

[oathic]

Oh. Well, if you see him around, he's definitely banned from getting near her.

[mammoney]

Man, I dunno if you could even stop Asmo from doin' something like that. Like, he's the Avatar of Lust. That's his thing. His powers of charm are waaaaay better than mine.

[oathic]

I'll find a way.

... Powers of charm, though?

[mammoney]

Yes, powers of charm, idiot. What do you think a demon like him can do? Tap dance?

[oathic]

Demon? Is that what you are?
