Would you like to do orphans in a box during week three or rather later?

I'm good with doing it this week.

excellent. Do we want to do an exploration-thread with Kelly poking around the room, or do you just want to give me a description of what she will see/find before she gets trapped in the box? (I think the second would be easier, but I'm good with either). Alsoa description of the box and how it works would be great, if we go with the second option.

She wouldn't find a lot - clothing, a password-protected laptop, a handmade leather-bound journal with contents that appear to be written in code, and the locked steamer trunk that holds the orphan box.

The trunk's trap triggers if someone attempts to tamper with the lock, and drops the miscreant through a magical trapdoor into a featureless wooden room - the inside of the trunk. They can hear what's going on outside, but can't see anything, and no one outside can hear them or get any text messages. The box is small enough to be claustrophobic for anyone prone to that sort of thing, but one person can move around a little in it. Three people are...going to get pretty cramped.

The key that opens the trunk also acts as an alarm when the trap's sprung, and opens a peephole that lets Amelia see what she's caught, but presumably Kelly's smart enough to do her snooping while Amelia's either out of the castle or busy judging people so there'll be time for all three kids to get boxed.

We should probably loop Yubsie in, too, since the orphans are likely to be decanted directly at her feet.

Sounds good! She'll try to break out for a bit and then just sit and wait for the evil Mrs EVIL to show up. And probably play snake on her phone while she's waiting.

(and oh my gosh am I glad that she's not infiltratorpersona-ing, because Kelly is fine with cramped spaces. Kitty would have a severe PTSD attack.)
