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.

"nobody knows one another" yeah, yeah ]
March? No, it was still winter, and nowhere near Valentine's day yet.
[ What month, idk, but some time during the winter. ]
no subject
[fortunately this isn't the first time Akira has come across a time discrepancy]
Someone else told me they thought it was September. I think that kind of discrepancy is more common here than we'd like.
no subject
[ It was XXX date, he will give Akira the exact day month and year, although I have no idea what day and month it is. The year is 2008, maybe. It's winter 2008 and everybody else is wrong. ]
no subject
[SOOOOOO]
I think it's better if we don't think about it too hard. We might get a headache.
no subject
Right. It doesn't matter. As long as I can leave, I don't care.
no subject
I want to find a way out of here, too. But so far, it looks like we're pretty locked in.
no subject
Have you learned what this opens yet?
no subject
Mmm. Not yet.
But to be fair, I haven't tried them on any locks yet.
no subject
[ He and Beau went "!!! the front door!" but we both forgot locks are on the outside of the door not the inside ]
no subject
[. . .]
The other side of the front door.
[#unhelpful]
no subject
[ Real unhelpful. ]
Forget it. If they're all different keys, there's probably some... locker room. Maybe where they're keeping our clothes.
no subject
[if there is a locker room where they're keeping their clothing maybe their items are there, too??? hope???]
Or maybe they're the keys to our rooms?
[Akira hasn't tried this yet so he can't say]
no subject
Maybe? The door was open when I went upstairs to check mine. One of my roommates was already there, and he opened the door.
no subject
[what does that say about us]
So maybe not, then. . .
[huh]
I guess I'll start trying this key in every lock I find, just to check.
no subject
Right. I'll make a note of locks too, and if mine doesn't work, I'll find you to ask for yours.
[ And when Akira's doesn't work, he will give up entirely, because he is not going around to talk to 30 other people to try keys. ]
