Note: This will be the last post before dinner. Please end your post when you arrive in the dining room. You may do mini-collabs with each other if you're crossing paths or with La Lune Family/Staff. If the latter, let me know, and I will give you descriptions and responses.
Anyone still in their room will get a knock on the door. Wadsworth is there asking for their dinner request. Anyone not in their room, the next time you enter, you’ll find that the dinner note is gone. The maids will also be delivering luggage. If you have not already gotten your bag, you will get it at this time. Thankfully, the luggage is not mixed up. All the correct pieces go to the correct rooms.
@TheMaster99 On Tony’s way back to the room, he will see Felix Wadsworth knocking on doors and collecting cards. As he arrives at his room, Wadsworth will collect the dinner card. His bags are in the room waiting for him.
@PatientBean The temperature outside has dropped more, and the wind has picked up more. The sky is a bruised color, clouds rolling in. The gardens are to the west of the building. The entrance was several arches that had rose plants growing over and around them. Upon entering the garden, Millicent realizes it has several paths that break off quickly, taking any of them loops back in on themselves over and over, and the paths become difficult to discern. If Millicent uses the ‘hand on one wall’ trick, she will eventually be able to figure out the path. It takes time, and some of the paths seem to double back on themselves. She almost feels as if the path has changed on her. There are several small sitting areas within the garden paths, and the plants are all well cared for. Persistence will bring her to the center of the garden, where she will find an area that is set up to allow for
small bonfires. There are comfortable seats around the fire pit. An older man, probably in his fifties, is clearing some weeds from one of the planter boxes.
(DM me a starter if you talk to him.)
@Nallore The bartender looks up from the cup he was rinsing. “Hello, mademoiselle. Welcome, what may I get for you?”
The
large man sitting at the bar looked at Elise from head to toe and then back up again. He gave out a low whistle when he stopped, his eyes not looking at her face.
“Oh, the fates have smiled upon us.” He moved seats so he was no longer sitting on the last seat of the four and instead took one of the two middle ones. “You’ll have to forgive me. I’m not great with putting pictures to faces and names. What is your name, mademoiselle?”
(DM me, and we can knock this scene out.)
@KazAlkemi Wadsworth does not knock on your door since you left the card outside the room for him.

”I’ll be out in a second.” Ralph said. He quickly dried his hands and exited the bathroom through the door on his side. He hadn’t paid attention enough to know who he shared the bathroom with. He’d have to figure that out later.
Ralph shoved the photo in his bag. He didn’t want to think about it. He was supposed to have put that all behind him. Ralph didn’t want to sit in his room. He got
dressed quickly. He made his dinner selection of steak. Uncertain what to do with the card, he just left it on the desk and left the room. As he was leaving the hall, he saw the butler in the hall.
“Your dinner reservation card, monsieur?”
”It is on the desk. I wasn’t sure what to do.” “Thank you. I shall collect it.”
He left the hall and turned right; it was the only option there. Upstairs, there were two sets of doors, and the stairs led back down. The far set of doors had a keypad next to them. He frowned a bit, trying to think why a personal home would require such security. The only other option led into the ballroom. Elenore was there; she was in the downstairs portion, which could be seen by looking over the balcony of the upstairs portion. On the mezzanine level, there were several sitting areas. The whole of it was half decorated.
Here, there were two more sets of doors. One set was locked with a keypad. Ralph figured the family must be obsessive about keeping their area private from the guests. He wondered how often they had guests that this was something they needed to do. Or maybe there had been an issue in a previous year that caused them to block it off.
That left the other option: a double set of doors. One door was propped open. Inside was one of the brighter rooms he had seen so far. There was a conversation pit to the left and a series of doors to the right. The room was big and had several sitting areas, a bookshelf, and a drinks cabinet.
There were a series of doors on the interior wall. Most had a label of a color. He recognized that one of them was Plum, meaning that the bedrooms on that side of the hall entered directly into the Lounge. He did notice that two sections stuck out weirdly. He opened one of the unlabeled doors to that area and found that it was a half bathroom. That was nice. So, if someone was hanging out in this room, they wouldn’t have to run back to their room or try to find another bathroom. It was clear to him that this area was meant for several people to hang out for a long time.
He heard a small cough and looked over into a nook near the bookshelf. On one of the chairs sat the friendly woman, Renee.
”Oh, sorry to bother you,” Ralph said. He was still a bit nervous and unsure of himself; the woman was sweet. He felt bad for bothering her.
“You’re fine. I’m just waiting for dinner to start.” She stood up.
”Yeah same, I was exploring a bit before. This place is interesting. Seems super old.” “I saw the paper talking about its history. Really cool that it used to be a monastery.” Ralph’s stomach twisted. He nodded, feeling awkward. He didn’t know what to talk about with the woman. She had been the one to try her best to get the conversation moving in the limo and on the yacht, but most of the others weren’t super chatty. Even before he had found the photo, things felt tense. Now, he felt like he was waiting for something horrific to happen.
“Well, hopefully, my bathroom buddy is done, and I can do more than use the half baths in here.” Renee wanted to fix her makeup before dinner, so she left her toiletry bag in the now-locked bathroom. An oversight.
”See you at dinner.” Ralph said as Renee went back into her room. He was left alone in the lounge room.
