MOCK ROUND - WEEK 1

[foundationmods]

All of the guests awoke in their rooms, just like they had before.

Yesterday had been a day of surprises.
First, they'd finally met the person who had brought them here.
Secondly, they'd learned they were going to be playing a false murder mystery for two weeks.
And most important, they learned that wishes could be granted if they won this game.🗈

Still, for now, it seemed like there wasn't much to do. Was the Witch already in talks with the 'Murderer'? Was the 'victim' already decided upon?

There was no way to know until some day later this week, apparently.

Still, it wasn't all bad. The island was beautiful and the climate just perfect for beachgoing, or taking a cosy walk in the garden. There were also board and card games which would be produced upon request, to help ease the boredom of it all.

Though, perhaps the guests would prefer to get to know each other instead? On maybe get into some trouble as they roamed the island.

Yet, with only a fake game in front of them....there's no proper sense of foreboding, is there?

....But maybe all of this...

...Is just the calm before the storm.

[It's a really big house. And it is rather awkward taking a plate from the kitchen to the dinning room. But using the serving cart for one meal was just as awkward.

So she just carries it and sits at the table. But the cutlery is rested for a moment.]

...Is there something supposed to happen today?

[curryparty]

Hello! ...Actually, do you want me to call you Scarred, or Mary?

[He's noticed the name plaques.]

Anyway, it's Valentine's Day, so I wanted to see if anyone was going to make any.

[ladyscarred]

[Ah... She thought she'd hidden the Mary Stuart plaque without it being seen. So she stills, staying quiet. Because Mary is supposed to be locked up, only Sir Scarred can move freely.

Granted the name inheritance didn't seem to be known here. But that was worrying in it's own right.

So the second thing he says is completely ignored for now.]

...Scarred. Most people call me that.

[Even if he didn't know her real name. It couldn't be faker. Who'd name their kid that, then that kid conveniently ended up covered in scars?]

[curryparty]

Scarred... Okay!

[It's a very odd name choice, and he's sure it's a false one of some sort, but at least he doesn't seem about to argue it.]

Do you know how to make chocolate, Scarred?

[ladyscarred]

No... We're not allowed to import if for another nine years. Though I have heard that some people have tried to sneak some in.

[1657. Then it wouldn't be banned.]

[curryparty]

-You can't import it?

[But why???]

[ladyscarred]

It's discovery was deemed important enough by the Testement Union that we are not allowed it until the date it was brought over in the old world.

[There's a weak laugh.]

Sorry. This probably won't make a lot of sense.

[curryparty]

Er... Old world?

[She's right, this doesn't.]

[ladyscarred]

As I said, it won't make a lot of sense. It was thousands of years ago, so not a lot of the details are none. But they make sure we stick to the things that were documented.

[curryparty]

[Blinking.]

You... have to wait for dates to repeat themselves?

[ladyscarred]

It depends on how well document it was. If there's not a lot of information then they're more forgiving.

[curryparty]

Do bad things happen if you don't stick to it?

[ladyscarred]

Sort of... People who don't have a habit of disappearing. There's a few countries that only take part in major events. But they have enough people to prevent there from being any consequences.

[curryparty]

Consequences...?

[He needs so much more context here.]
