WEEK 3

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Karolina and Mulan are dead. The first, and hopefully the last, deaths of your stay here. Hopefully their deaths won't be in vain. Your third week here starts on a solemn note, and the mood here has taken on a significant downward spiral. If it's any consolation (it isn't), you'll find that you have two new floors to explore...even if one of those floors has about twenty STAY OUT signs nailed to it.

23 guests remain.]

[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

{ooc: Don't forget to turn in your week 2 AC! As we're now officially in full murdergame mode, AC from here on out is extended till Thursday.}

[... Elsa tries not to focus on the size of the paper that Sophie pins up. It's... it's good to be prepared, yes, but the idea of there needing to be more room, just in case... no. No. She can't think about that. She won't let herself be dragged down again. This is a place to offer tokens to the memories of their fallen friends. Not a place to wallow in depression. So when Sophie steps aside, Elsa steps up, kneeling down in front of the paper. She presses her hands together, but it doesn't look like she's praying, exactly. Instead, she thinks... she didn't know the two as well as the others, but she knows enough that perhaps she could just...

With a slow exhale Elsa opens her hands. Between them is a small, icy star, which she places in front of the makeshift memorial. Oddly enough, even though it's close to the candle and should start melting, it... doesn't.

She repeats the gesture again, hands pressing together and giving herself a moment to think. Mulan is a little harder, but she'd heard her mention something to Lefou - the armor and the sword. She had mentioned a design on the sword. That might work...

With another quick twist of her powers, Elsa sets down a small, icy dragon next to the star.]

I hope this is good enough for them.

[Sophie watches in fascination as the small ice sculptures take form. She's seen a lot of magic, but nothing this lovely before.]

They're beautiful. I'm sure they'll love them.

[defyingfrigidity]

[She can feel herself blushing a little at how fascinated Sophie looks. She's used to that look from her people and from Anna, but... that was a little different. That was her sister, her people. But she's never had others she knew on a more personal level look at her magic like that.]

... I feel bad. I wish I'd been able to get to know them better, to give them something more personal.

[heartofold]

[She can't help it. Somehow she fell in love with magic, frustrating as certain spells had been. There's something mystical and fascinating about seeing something make something out of nothing. It's like seeing into their heart a little.]

I didn't know either of them as well as I wanted to. I feel the same way. I really wish I could do more. But at least I can give those who did a platform to do something special.

[They were wonderful people who deserved to be remembered.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Man, if only there were more people like Sophie in Arendelle when Elsa had been growing up... maybe she wouldn't be as much of a mess as she was now.]

Like Wendy. Like Wander.

[Poor Wander had broken when they were all forced to vote for Mulan. And Wendy seeing Karolina's body....]

We can't let this happen again. We can't add any more names to this list.

[heartofold]

I don't think there has to be any more. We all feel the same way. None of us want to go through this again.

[Sophie puts a hand on Elsa's shoulder and offers a genuine smile.]

As long as we stand together I'm sure we can figure this out.

[defyingfrigidity]

[Elsa jumps a little at the touch; she's gotten better at the whole physical contact thing, but in a situation like this, where all of their emotions are all over the place... it's making her more sensitive than usual. But even so, she doesn't pull away. She... she needs this.]

Right... [She doesn't sound very certain at first, but she lets out a short huff. Come on Elsa, you have to be strong. For your friends, for your sister, if not for yourself.] Right. We can't let our host get to us. If he tries to give us incentive to murder, then becoming suspicious will only drive a rift between us all. That... that's the last thing we need now.
