WEEK ZERO WELCOME MINGLE - OVERFLOW, YOU MONSTERS
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.

[anyway you'd think anya has never looked into a mirror a day in her life when she seems to brighten up in both delight and surprise at the comment. she imagines she isn't horrible to look at but to be told nice things always catches her off-guard.]
You think Anya is pretty? Really? Спасибо. Thank you...! Mm, I am an idol. I hope we will find your camera soon - I would like to see the new art you make, too.
[though as she rummages through the closet - ]
There are more clothes here... but they are not mine. Костюмы? Are they yours?
[she'll pull out some suits - apparently it's literally all fancy wear in there]
1/2
But of course Anya is pretty! She's a pale-haired beauty with an equally beautiful personality: She held his hand when he was too afraid to walk by himself. Zenitsu could have told her that, except it would've been stating the obvious. Hmph!]
no subject
No, those aren't mine. I wear a uniform with a haori on top. What about Mr. Valentini?
no subject
[ he is going to get a goddamn camera one way or another!! he's nothing without his art!! Stefano smiles placidly at her before Zenitsu calls for his attention again. ]
Well... They're certainly in my style, but I don't recognize them. We can assume they were provided to us by our host, can't we? Much like the clothes we've been changed into.
no subject
though she's going to hum thoughtfully before putting the suits back]
I think so... There are so many. Вытянутая? Do you think we will be here a long time?
no subject
It can't be that long. The invitation mentioned a dinner. There's no way that can last longer than a day. Master Blue has to see us off tomorrow morning, right?
no subject
Such optimism.
[ his tone is dry and somewhat knowing... ]
I doubt we will be leaving anytime soon.
no subject
No? We are kidnapped then?
Щедрая... It is... more fancy than I thought it would be?
[like she thought if she was ever gonna get abducted, it'd be like. Worse.]
no subject
The drawers yield nothing. He goes over to look under the chaise and the bed, but not before he gulps.]
E-even if we were, there's over thirty of us here. If we work together, we can find a way out, right?
no subject
slowly, he shakes his head. ]
That is no guarantee. Worse has happened to bigger groups... Besides, it is clear to me that our captor has great control over this place. See how he's changed our clothes and robbed us of all our possessions without us even noticing. [ he doesn't sound scared, and he's still got a half-smile on his face, but it's clearly a thin veil covering his anger. ] It is "fancy" because that suits his tastes. The true question is what he plans to do with us. Clearly, he has something in mind.
no subject
[though given her expression she seems to have some kind of understanding - and even if she might be a little bit scared, it doesn't show super easily on her face. it is probably because she doesn't want to panic zenitsu worse,,,]
... Mm, we can still try. To find our items, and a way out.
[so she'll put the suits back inside the closet and try to see if there's anywhere else worth looking - moving to the windows to see if there's any way to pry them open.]
no subject
Anya is right. We should keep trying. I still don't see anything resembling a camera, though . . .
no subject
No? That's truly unfortunate. Now what shall I do?
