Astrit's Personal Timeline
This is my current best estimate, which may require alteration for various reasons
This is my current best estimate, which may require alteration for various reasons
- Food Festival - This occurred right after the party was split up. Astrit met Nesia (Indonesia), with whom he shared a tasty snack and some speculation. At this point, both believed that they were still participating in a fun party event planned by America.
- Flowers of Evil - Astrit wandered upstairs into the library and started reading a book he picked up at random. His sister Snezana (Serbia) joined him, though it took them a little while to find each other by voice in between the shelves. The siblings bickered a bit, mostly for reasons related to the fact that Snezana was aware of the Manor's nature and Astrit was not. They were interrupted by The Riddler. This thread was never played to completion, but it was planned that at its conclusion the siblings would fall abruptly unconscious and be transported to the Deathmatch.
- Event 4 - This was the Deathmatch. Astrit awoke to find himself tied up and with one of the Inhabitants laying out the rules of the match: kill or be killed, no alternatives. When the restraints vanished, he had to duel Gilbert (Prussia) to the death. They clashed a few times, with Gilbert's size and skill being clearly superior, but something that Astrit said caused Gilbert to stop fighting entirely. Astrit won, and carried Gilbert's sword with him for some time after, but was traumatized by the experience.
- Visions - Directly after the deathmatch, Astrit found his way into one of the bedrooms to wash his hands and get some rest. He was attacked by the Sandman, whose presence and behavior convinced him that it was all just a dream. He survived by surrendering and taking a nap.
- Silent as the Grave - This took place some indeterminate time after the events of Visions. Wandering aimlessly about the Manor, he ran into Vasile (Romania), who was very distracted, and Kiku (Japan), who was confused by Vasile's actions, in the courtyard cemetery. Astrit had a flashback to killing Gilbert. Kiku showed him a bit of kindness. Vasile suggested that they clean the graveyard; Kiku left rather than stay in such an open space, and Astrit demonstrated newfound, well-founded cynicism about concepts like "a decent burial." Ironically, Roma's timeline implies that Vasile entered his own deathmatch directly after this.
- Bookmarked - Some time later, Astrit ran into Toris (Lithuania) in the upstairs study. They found a creepy bookmark, but no useful information. Astrit started to consider trying to atone for his actions in the deathmatch, rather than spending all his time beating himself up about it mentally.
- Intrat - After parting with Toris, Astrit wandered the Manor some more and fell into another dark spiral. He was partially rescued from it by the unexpected appearance of a glowing key, which flew away at high speed and led him to the only safe place in the entire Manor: the Sanctuary. He was joined there by Kyle (Australia) and Ana María (Mexico). Kyle was a friendly presence, but Ana María a more complicated one: she revealed that she had fought Snezana in a deathmatch of their own and won. Not only that, but Snezana had made Ana María promise to take care of Astrit. The three in the Sanctuary tried to make plans to escape together, but their plans never came to anything, as they were separated when they left.
- Illegal Drinking Age - Astrit woke up in the tunnels beneath the Manor, and the first room he found was the wine cellar. Once inside, he decided to get drunk. He was intercepted halfway through a bottle of wine by Matthew (Canada), whom he did not recognize but to whom he ended up delivering an impassioned, very dark, and very confusing rant which inspired Matthew to take the wine away.
- Not to be Read - This placement is tentative, but it takes place a very, very long time after Flowers of Evil. Astrit re-enters the library for the first time since then, and is overwhelmed by memories of his sister.
- Even Heroes have the Right to Bleed - Another long wandering later, Astrit was starting to forget what life outside the Manor was even like when he ran into a living reminder in the form of Alfred (America). After they were convinced of one another's identity and had traded relieved greetings, they exchanged some information and inferences about the nature of the Manor.
- Canine Trouble - Astrit and Alfred were separated by the beginning of the Internal Tempest event. Astrit made it safely to the third floor, where he was going to relax in the Men's Smoking Room but ended up turning into a werewolf instead. During his transformation, he left Gilbert's sword on the floor under the sofa, and never went back for it, finally leaving it to be retrieved by its proper owner. He met two of the Vargas brothers, Lovino (South Italy) and Marcello (Seborga), who were terrified by what they assumed was a monster likely to eat them. Astrit had no intention of eating them, but their reactions convinced him that he must have been truly corrupted by the Manor, so he did not try to stop Lovi from shooting him. His participation in this thread was terminated by his death.
- I Fell Asleep On Your Deathbed - Despite his violent death in the previous thread, here he awakened peacefully in one of the bedrooms on the second floor (distanced from the scene of his death by an entire level of the house) as a ghost. He did not initially understand what was going on or remember what happened to him, despite credible efforts to figure it out.
- It's Been No Bed Of Roses - The escape event. Astrit and Ivan (Russia) were assigned to retrieve a piece of the Manor's fence together in hopes of securing the group's release.
