Week 4

[Two more people died this week. Two children. And they died because of a freak accident. Despite all your protests, Randall refused to let Jane get away despite being innocent.

But there is a tiny ray of hope now, which comes in the form of the mirror. Now that the mirror is public information, you can see people you care about, even if they are dead and trapped in hell. Not only that, but you now now that someone is trying to save you all from the predicament that you're in. And this time there's a good chance that he won't turn out to be a heartless mass murderer!

Still, the ideas for the plan are vague and you have no idea when you will actually get out. It's hard to keep up hope when your only chance of living might still end with you horribly killed, isn't it?

At least you have a new floor and the ability to wash your clothes now.

26 guests remain.]


[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]


[Don't forget to fill in this week's activity check!

...There might also be someone new threadjacking some toplevels this week too. If you want to opt out of this, just let us know!\

[Hhhh thank god someone in this house is sensible, because Kit hasn't felt like he's got his feet under him since he showed up.]

Right... right. Right.

[Which of course makes him think of some other things that have been weighing on him.]

Do you think... you saw people you know trying to find you, but my kingdom doesn't have technology like this house does. Do you think they even know?

[How can you watch a broadcast when televisions don't exist?]

[ Sensible but screaming internally. You'll get it down, Kit. ]

Um... Oh, jeez. I don't know. I'd imagine they'd want everyone to know it. Do you... Are you worried about what they'll see?

[ She asks this like the answer is obvious. Of course he is. They all are. This is the worst possible thing. ]

[He nods. He's worried they'll see him failing to be of any use. That the love of his life will realize he's not the perfect Prince Charming she danced with, that really most of the time he's just an idiot twenty year old bumblefucking his way through life. He thought he was doing really good on the whole 'growing into a capable and responsible ruler' thing, but everything is so much more complicated outside of pastoral fairytale land.

It fucking sucks.]


My dad's probably turned the whole castle over by now. He's very... he worries a lot.

[ A sad smile pulls at her lips. ]

Mom's like that too. She's probably...oh, I know she's worried sick.

It makes the whole thing worse, knowing people are watching.

[It would be bad enough if it was just them. Then it would just be a mystery for the outside world, rather than a sick deathwatch.]

People we know, probably people we don't...
pinkflip: sing it right back (♡ just sing it loud‚ until the kids will)

[ She...thinks she understands where he's going here. ]

...No one can judge us for the things that happen here. They- they haven't been here. This isn't something any person should experience.

Yeah. Yeah, at least everyone can agree on that.

And at least it's me, right, and not my dad, or my wife.

[Which is maybe not the BEST way to think of things but look he's gotta find something, okay, anything at all, even if in the back of his mind he's pretty sure Cinderella would be dealing with this better.]
