WEEK ZERO: MINGLE

WEEK ZERO

OCCUPANCY: 36

For those of you counting along, you'll find that it's been three days since you've arrived at Master Blue's mansion. On this lovely Monday morning, the weak winter sun shines in through the spotless windows. The curtains in the ballroom have been drawn closed and cannot be moved away from the back wall during the daylight hours. The scent of a hot and delicious breakfast wafts from the direction of the dining hall at 7am, and small creaks and groans in the house urge you to awaken.

Perhaps you're a late riser though. No matter! There's still plenty of food you can make for yourself and ways for you to amuse yourself. Though the decor's been taken down, leftover Valentine's candy remains abundant, and a chilly breeze drifts through the halls. Best of all, all damage inflicted on the house has been repaired. In addition, a new placard has been mounted in the entryway.

As you carry on with your day in the mansion and explore the rooms provided, you may come to find that starting today it will appear as though you've all lost the use of one of your senses. Your vision may have grown dim, or maybe you really can't smell the enticing treats in the dining hall after all. How unfortunate.

Then again, something doesn't seem quite right. Walking through the halls, nothing seems terribly out of place. However, turning the corner or entering a room you will find someone who looks a little too much like yourself behaving in a fairly inappropriate manner. You would never read something so lewd. Who would ever think that you would wear something so pink? These mannerisms may seem innocent to others, but you can't help but disapprove.

Too bad no one else can see them.

Come Monday at noon, you will also find a new surprise. The wooden box with your name on it can now be opened, and a rustling crackle of static can be heard from overhead. Try as you might, you won't be able to find the speakers but this message will play loud and clear for all.

[ the conservatory is very relaxing. it’s nice and quiet, and being surrounded by flowers and plants offers a kind of tranquility that brilith hasn’t felt in years. nikki seems to feel the same, and brilith can appreciate that, though she’ll interrupt the quiet to softly say: ]

Your dress is lovely.

[ better appreciate it now, before she goes entirely blind. ]

[dressupqueen]

Oh - thank you!

[nikki beams. compliments on her outfits are something she's used to, which puts her more at ease than she would be otherwise - which, to be honest, is still pretty at ease. hm.]

There were a lot of very pretty clothes in the wardrobe up in your room. I'm sure there are some in yours, as well. Do you like to dress up?

[infire]

Yes, they’ve chosen very well for us. Not everyone has taken to it quite so easily, though.

[ brilith laughs sheepishly. ]

Something like that. I’ve never had much of a choice in most of my wardrobe, but it’s all been very beautiful.

[dressupqueen]

Is any of it difficult for you? Some types of clothes can be hard to get used to... I'm very familiar with this kind of clothing, though, so I could help you if you'd like.

[let! nikki! dress! brilith! up!]
