MAISON DAY UPDATE

|| THREAT DOWN

|| DAY 027: GENERAL Those who have sleepwalked into Town awake with a start as dawn comes. They will be unable to remember most of their dreams, with one exception; a vision of darkness, of having chains cutting into them, with a sense of hopelessness and hunger, as faint chanting echoes from above. The Lady finally bores of her entertainment near dawn. She dismisses them with a wave of her hand, and sits in the Throne Room, eyes vacant, as the day goes. Anyone who enters through the main doors will be met with a sudden stare, and she will stand, clapping her hands. Those she notices thus will find themselves dancing until they collapse from exhaustion. All of the tapestries, drapes, and carpets throughout the first floor of the castle have been slashed and torn. The slashes are edged with a thick, dark red substance; it is sometimes wet to touch and smells faintly sweet. They do not mend themselves in the usual fashion of damage done to the castle, and more slashes continue to appear over the course of the day. The guards are actively patrolling the first floor, and appear to be looking for someone or something—with little luck. A large number of them appear to be missing pieces of their armour—arms, legs, feet, and in some cases even helmets. This makes their movement decidedly clumsier than usual, and they understandably seem rather frazzled.. The door to the Steward’s Bath is closed. This in itself wouldn’t be an unusual occurrence—if not for the fact that the armoire in his Quarters has been moved directly in front of it, effectively blocking it from opening. Something is continuously pounding on the other side of the door. The Garden seems to have settled, but is rearranged - those familiar with it will find that the same locations and landmarks exist within, but all in different places from where they were before. A familiar crow has taken it on himself to guide those younger or familiar with it, although it may take a few tries for him to figure out where someone is trying to go.
