WEEK 1

monday

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.

...

[yeah he shouldn’t be asking that!! But now that it’s out there, he needs to figure out how to deal with this outside of, well, Lysithea, who is at least a decent person who likely would not endanger anyone close to him. Would making it a bigger deal make things more suspicious?

...hm...]

Not particularly, I suppose. It is merely force of habit at this point.

[psychophant]

Fair enough, I certainly wouldn't know.

[Fine, fine, he'll back off on it...]

I doubt many of us would find it strange. Once again, Sirius is here and if we can handle the giant person with wings, we can handle anything.

[baitless]

Yes, that is certainly fair enough, not to mention some of the others. To be honest, now that I know we seem to be dealing with different worlds, it is somewhat difficult to tell what is unusual and what is considered commonplace.

[psychophant]

It does seem to vary drastically by world. It seems magic doesn't even exist in some of them. What a dreadful existence that must be.

[baitless]

Indeed. Though, it does seem as though there are some things they have engineered to compensate, which interests me a bit.

[...like he has a few Concerns, but even then, that involved magic. This is just... pure technology, it seems.]

[psychophant]

...I will admit that I do find the technology here absolutely fascinating, although I would greatly prefer the more familiar comforts of magic.

[He's somewhere between "that's witchcraft and I hate it" and "that's witchcraft and I want to study it" so. You know. The usual.]

[baitless]

It's certainly a bit intimidating given how unfamiliar it is, but some of it seems... nice enough. It shouldn't be too difficult to get used to, I think.
