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.

I see...[She's nodding along and seemingly taking notes.] How often does the time period change for you? We don't often see time travelers here.
[This is apparently just. How things are.]
no subject
I suppose it depends on the mission. We go from days to decades depending on the severity... [ you know this is a Very Strange conversation for Hori but bless him, he's just rolling with it ]
no subject
no subject
.... Mm. I do. It's difficult for sure, but I appreciate the chance to have a body to do so.
no subject
Oh. [She blinks in surprise.] I wasn't aware that swords didn't have actual bodies before. Was that not always the case?
no subject
Once we were just swords serving our original masters. It wasn’t until our new master summoned us that we gained human bodies to fight for them. [ he grins ] It’s quite different that’s for sure!
no subject
no subject
I do.. But I had many good years by his side. I'm glad for the memory of him and all we saw together. [ and then sometimes you gain a human body to go back in time with to watch him Die again ]
no subject
I think I understand. We've been by Master Blue's side for many years, too. I'm glad for the memories we've had in this house and from the past events that have been held here. They're kind of important, don't you think?
no subject
Exactly! It's the memories that you've made are the most important I'd think especially with the limited time humans have. As much as I would like many more days by his side, his memory will always be with me.
no subject
no subject
It's true. He certainly won't forget our last parting. But I'm glad to know your Master Blue means just as much to you. [ it's......reassuring......? ]
no subject
Master Blue is important, and it's why it's equally important we treat our guests well. So don't hesitate to ask for anything else, okay?
no subject
Of course. Thank you for all your hard work...!
