WEEK 1

monday

tuesday

wednesday

thursday

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.

[tokihanate]

[ He's going to sleep in his room most poof the day. And sleep. And sleep. Can't heal the usual way so have to do the ol' fashion way apparently.

Later in the evening, he'll wake up and dress and check the kitchens and dining room since they're in front of his room. Still tired and too lazy to find food, he'll probably sit in the dining room and nap. Feel free to wake the old man.

Maybe he'll take a shower before heading back to bed. Let the younglings figure things out.]

dining room

[puperoni]

[ Pizza could just poke the old man awake. But why pass up the perfect opportunity to do what he does? (It's being ridiculous). Depending on how sound a sleeper Hyoubu is, Pizza will attempt to stack cans of food atop his head. It's perilous going but he's pretty determined. ]

[tokihanate]

[ He has his head down, and is a light sleeper from being so aware of danger throughout his life. So, he wakes, but doesn't open his eyes. He doesn't sense a danger, so he'll let this person do what he likes.

When he feels the cans wobbling, he'll peek an eye open. ]

Having fun?

[puperoni]

Awww, you're not supposed to wake up until later. [ Okay he'll finish with one final can as a flourish and grin. ]

Well it would be better if you were a sound sleeper like Cheese, but yeah!

[tokihanate]

[ He gives a small smile since this one's like a child. ] Cheese? [ Well, kids these days are sure strange... ]

You'd just hurt yourself if these fell over on you.

[puperoni]

Yeah, she's one of the Food Souls I travel with! She likes to eat a lot and then sleep a lot after. [ Somewhere Cheese objects. ]

I'm a lot sturdier than I look!

[tokihanate]

Food... souls...? [ That.. eat? Is he actually awake. ]

Of course. You could also hurt me. [ Well, not really. That wouldn't be anything compared to what had happened to him recently. Or not recently. ]

[puperoni]

Mmhmm. F-o-o-d S-o-u-l-s, like me. [ Pointing helpfully at himself. ]

...are you really that weak? [ But he makes to take the cans off. ]

[tokihanate]

So, you're not human then. I see. [ Guess who hasn't looked at the profiles at all~ ]

[ And no he isn't. But he is/was injured. He smiles good naturedly though. ] Well, I am an old man despite my face.

dining room;

[reanbeans]

[ Well, that's sure a certain old man dozing off in the dining room??

Rean's back in here because he's been removing the plates and a container he had set out earlier in the day. Gotta pick up after yourself!! ]

...Are you really asleep?

[ He'll ask, just to test. Though he's not loud, he kind of wondered if he should be sleeping out here by his lonesome. ]

[tokihanate]

[ He doesn't move but he opens his eyes. The voice is somewhat familiar, so there's no need to panic. ] Well, I was. [ A yawn. ]

So, did you find anything out, uh [ He searches his memory briefly. ] Rean?

[reanbeans]

[ Well, it's good he didn't freak him out, but still. ]

Sorry about that.

[ At least he looked a little sheepish, though at the question, he shook his head. ]

Unless you consider finding out that the Lady was in the Bookstore to keep an eye in us. Though, I was hoping to see if I could find any hints there.

[tokihanate]

Well, it's fine. It wasn't a good sleep anyway.

Hmm. The bookstore. [ Ponders about somethings for later. ] I suppose it'll take some time. With so many people here though, I suppose others will have sniffed something out.

[reanbeans]

...If you say so.

[ It was a mistake; he waltzed into her office entirely by accident. ]

It's possible. I'm hoping if they did that they would bring it up in the meeting.

[tokihanate]

[ His head clearing from the very short nap, he backtracks a bit. ]

Wait, what was she doing in there? And meeting?

[reanbeans]

I'm holding a meeting tomorrow at 12:30 in the dining room.

[ He didn't fault him for missing the notes because rest. ]

She's keeping a closer eye on us by hanging around in there. Or at least that's what she told me.

Dining room

[baitless]

[...you know, even if Seteth is pretty sure no one’s gonna try and murder anyone this early... it’s still kind of risky to sleep out in the open like that, so he’ll lightly tap the other man’s shoulder.]

I’m sure there are more comfortable places to sleep than the dining room table, you know.

[tokihanate]

[ He opens his eyes lazily. ] It's just a small nap.

dining room

[apothecares]

[Hopefully you're not easily startled out of sleep, because that sure is a hand clasping onto your shoulder and shaking gently]

Hey, buddy, it's probably better you don't sleep out here.

[tokihanate]

Hmm. [ He stirs easily enough. ] It's a change of scenery from the room. [ Which is too small and bare for his tastes. ]

[apothecares]

[He's going to plop himself in the nearby chair]

The rooms not to your taste?

[tokihanate]

[ He gives a yawn. ] It gets boring after awhile.

[apothecares]

....Even while you're sleepin'?

[That's some impressive boredom]

[tokihanate]

When you have restless sleep you tend up to wake up a lot, so yes.

[apothecares]

Have you tried a sleeping tonic, or putting something on the walls? [Not the usual "remedy" but if it's from being restless in the same environment, maybe some things to look at would help?]
