week 1
[Well, all escape attempts have failed thus far. None of you have seen the Phantom since his brief appearance on Sunday, or heard from him at all. It looks like, for the time being, you’re all going to be stuck here.
You're free to continue exploring your surroundings to your hearts' content. The only real restriction on your movements is that the kitchen is closed between the hours of 10 pm and 7 am. Better make sure to grab any midnight snacks you may want ahead of time. Also, remember to label any investigation toplevels!
The Merchandise Booth is now open for business as well! The Phantom hasn't deigned to explain how it works, but...well, some of you will start to find mysterious coins in your rooms, and the Booth's got a place to put coins. You'll figure it out.
Should you wish to engage more with your host, you're welcome to drop letters in the box office slot. There's no set way to converse verbally with him, and he's certainly not guaranteed to respond if you just yell at the walls - but that doesn't necessarily mean he isn't listening. Just something to keep in mind.
Enjoy your first week, everyone.]
Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday
(( OOC: This will be the last mod post for this week! Feel free to start submitting regains for any threads that aren't with the Phantom. Remember, song threads mean an extra coin! This is a peace week, so get all that CR while you can! ))

no subject
Talents: Singing, Cooking, Needlework,
Strengths: Patience, Social Standing, Wealth
Weaknesses: My meager looks cost me the crown! :( [Yes. She's drawn a little frowny-anne, complete with crown crossed out]
Enemies: I am sure I have many, but they are not worth my time, and I am no longer worth theirs. I suppose you could count the five other wives.
Important Connections (Societal, Political, etc): Daughter of John III, Duke of Jülich-Cleves-Berg, and Maria, Duchess of Jülich-Berg. Our lineage traces into the royal family trees of England, and France-- my mother in particular from a long line of German princesses. Older sister to William, Duke of Jülich-Cleves-Berg and his beloved wife Maria of Austria, daughter of Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor, and Anna of Bohemia and Hungary. My elder sister Sibylle of Cleves was electress consort of Saxony, married to Electoral Prince John Frederick of Saxony (Elector after his father's death) -- involved with a great deal of drama around Martin Luther. My younger sister Amalia of Cleves had no connections of love and society, but was a lover of songs and a poet, a devoted protestant and caretaker to our nieces.
I myself served as Queen Consort to King Henry the VIII of England for six months, after which our marriage was annulled, and I took the title as The King's Beloved Sister. While I did not have the pleasure of knowing my stepdaughters during the marriage, I had the great joy of befriending both the young princesses Mary and Elizabeth Tudor-- when Mary was coronated, I was present in the ceremony, directly behind her and beside Elizabeth.
Missing any Memories?: My memory is quite good-- though it is slightly confusing. I could have sworn I was just starting a performance before I awoke here. I was mid-note!
Secrets?: None-- though there are some scandalous rumors!
What do you feel makes you useful: Nothing makes me feel useful. I simply am, because I was. I was a wealthy, independent young woman, who was handed terrible circumstances, and enjoyed my life to the fullest, during a time when other women of my station were slaving away in unhappy marriages, getting their heads chopped off, or idk-- the plague?
[Anne's paper has gone from one to three, the entire thing written in rather extravagant penmanship. She's here to give it to Ariel-- an open history book!]
I have to apologize-- I got a little carried away!

There will be no apologies, milady. Doubtless, there will be much to go off of here. I am grateful for your efforts.
[He bows. Because... that makes sense, right?]
