WEEK 1

WEEK 1


Your hosts have come and gone, and have left you with nothing but more questions and a key. Regardless of how you reacted or what you decided to do soon after that, it’s a fact that the day must end eventually.

And so it does, with the striking of the clock. As the twelve gongs reverberate and disappear into the night, the rest of the city is left silent save for a chilly wind that skims the streets. Those who have retired to their assigned rooms will find that the furnishings are decent enough to get a good night’s sleep, while those who wander the city will only continue to see empty streets and fog. But regardless of how you spend the night, eventually it will become readily apparent that dawn will not be coming any time soon as the waxing moon continues to hang in the sky even as the clock strikes six or seven or eight.

No one’s stopping you from wallowing in bed or holing up in a building during this perpetual night, but there’s a whole city out there to check out and some interesting additions to the Opera House decor; don’t forget though, a cage is a cage and every good cage needs its bars. While a portion of the streets and buildings are clear, any intrepid explorers won’t find themselves able to get very far through the fog that surrounds them; anyone who tries to venture through will end up getting turned around and end up right back where they started. Still, there’s plenty of other places to check, even if the fog-shrouded buildings are more or less off limits. Fortune favors the bold, after all.

Breakfast

[personal profile] wishuponazoi 2020-01-06 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Well, Sirius has had cake on occasion, from various strangers who don't care about a random dog's weight, but pancakes are something new.]

What you're making right now smells quite good enough.

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-06 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright then. It won't be long, at least. Did you want pancakes with jelly inside or just plain?

[ He figured he should ask and because the other is...rather a good size, he believed he should probably prepare four for him. Four large pancakes. ]
wishuponazoi: (regaining freedom)

[personal profile] wishuponazoi 2020-01-07 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
...with jelly inside. [Oh, he definitely wants to try that jelly. It smells so sweet and tantalizing.]
reanbeans: (91)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-07 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Then, jelly pancakes it is.

[ Didn't it just.

He'll go to make some pancakes with jelly in them. And as he's going about doing so... ]


Did you see what was put up in the opera house?
wishuponazoi: (contemplating the situation)

[personal profile] wishuponazoi 2020-01-07 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Not yet. I had just awoke when I saw you preparing breakfast for all of us.
reanbeans: (23)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-07 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, well, it was really early.

[ At least by now the pancakes cook pretty fast since he's been at it for awhile, so he's already got one on the plate after adding in the jelly. ]

But, it looks like they've got profiles of us up, for whatever reason.
wishuponazoi: (contemplating the situation)

[personal profile] wishuponazoi 2020-01-07 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
...really? All of us?
reanbeans: (48)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-07 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He'll nod. ]

You can see it for yourself later, but they really do have everyone here up with some information.
wishuponazoi: (contemplating the situation)

[personal profile] wishuponazoi 2020-01-08 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose I'll have to check the accuracy for myself later, then. [He's going to take that pancake first, then just pick it up and bite into it. Sorry about the mess.]
reanbeans: (88)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-08 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ .... Dear Aidios. ]

Are you sure you don't need a fork for that?
wishuponazoi: (contemplating the situation)

[personal profile] wishuponazoi 2020-01-08 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
...do I? [Look, no one taught him how to use utensils when he was a dog, alright?]
reanbeans: (114)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-08 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh my god, why. ]

Yes, you do. It'll keep things from getting messy.

[ He'll nab a fork and hold it out to him, thinking maybe there was just a misunderstanding. He couldn't imagine someone being unable to use a fork, here. ]
wishuponazoi: (Default)

[personal profile] wishuponazoi 2020-01-08 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[He frowns and slowly pokes the fork into the pancake. He's seen people use one before, so it can't be that hard, can it...? Well, he'll manage to tear off a rather large piece, which he then just shoves into his mouth.]

I suppose that makes sense, if you'd mind your hands getting sticky.
reanbeans: (14)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-08 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He certainly minded getting his hands sticky!! ]

Haha, yeah. You're not used to using them?
wishuponazoi: (contemplating the situation)

[personal profile] wishuponazoi 2020-01-11 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
I am not. I never had reason to, before. [More like he didn't have the limbs to do it.]
reanbeans: (2)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-12 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Could you tell me why?
wishuponazoi: (contemplating the situation)

[personal profile] wishuponazoi 2020-01-14 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[...how much is he willing to share?]

The food I had when I was previously in mortal form didn't need such utensils to be savored in the first place.
reanbeans: (110)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-15 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
...That's interesting. But, I guess that makes sense.

[ Either way, Rean didn't judge. ]

Thank you for telling me that...Sirius, right? That was your name on the profiles I saw.
wishuponazoi: (regaining freedom)

[personal profile] wishuponazoi 2020-01-16 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed. [He sounds pleased that Rean got it right.] I don't think I got your name, though.
reanbeans: (115)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-17 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, sorry. My name is Rean Schwarzer, and it's nice to speak with you, Sirius.
wishuponazoi: (contemplating the situation)

[personal profile] wishuponazoi 2020-01-17 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It's...also nice to meet you, I suppose. As nice as it can be in a situation like this.
