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.
[[Welcome to Week 1! Feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. You can also now privately contact The Lady or Rembrandt at your leisure!]]
Mini-Investigation: Clergy Housing
So instead, he's going to be spending some time in the Clergy Housing proper. First he'll take a better look at his own bedroom. Is there anything here he can find that seems used? Anything noteworthy? Scribbling on the walls? Whatever it is, if anything, he's going over every inch of the room to find it.
Later, he can be find in all of the common rooms of the Clergy Housing, doing the same kind of sweep. If anyone is around, he'll give them a curt nod and otherwise ignore them unless he's spoken to.
Later in the afternoon, whisper of the profiles has reached him and he endures getting wet in order to get to the Opera House and study all of them. Especially his own, which... what? Forgery? He's never forged anything in his life. Normally, he'd get offended, but with everything that has Rembrandt and the Lady know and that he doesn't know... He feels sick. When he leaves the Opera House he is visibly paler than when he came here.
Back at the Clergy Housing, he has to spend considerable time wringing the priest robes out to remove the water. Rip. ]
opera house
[ she doesn't sound like she's mocking him; rather, it sounds like she's just being matter of fact. ]
Is that a mistake?
no subject
[ This is stated very very briskly. His recent personal history has been.... tumultuous, but that is even more reason he wants to be perceived as he would like to see himself: the righteous prosecutor. ]
Frankly, I have no idea what the lady is getting at here.
no subject
[ her tone is unimpressed and condescending. what a piece of work. ]
If it's any consolation, you aren't the only one with absolute nonsense in your profile.
no subject
It would be a real relief indeed. Our captors have made us believe they know everything about us. Seeing it disproven points towards weakness on their end.
no subject
And aren't we lucky? Granted, I'd still argue that they know a little too much, but seeing these mistakes pop up shows that they aren't free of human error.
no subject
They've made fairly clear that they aren't actually human, but your point stands. As long as they have blind spots, we might stand a chance to escape from this place.

Not at ease enough to not check out the bath across from the storage though. Same procedure here. It's time to look at all the walls and any cupboards or what there might be and see if anything sticks out. ]
no subject
As for the rest of the baths, well. Despite the name there are some shower stalls available too, if that's more your speed and it's as clean as everything else around here. As for the walls, they're like the rooms in that they show signs of age and perhaps a bit of water-staining due to the area but nothing else strange. The mirrors are clean too.
...You can investigate the toilets too, but those will more or less fit the 'perfectly normal' vibe that the rest of the baths share.]
no subject
So, let's bring this haul back to his room, lock that again, and then do the other bathroom because why not get these over with now. They're not the most pleasant place to snoop around in. ]
no subject
I will not provide a loving description of how clean the baths, the shower stalls and the toilets are in the other bathroom because it's more or less the same dealio as the first one. Quite possibly the most significant conclusion Mikami may get is that there are still not enough towels for all of the Survivors at the moment, even if you sum the number that was found in Bathroom #1 with Bathroom #2.
It's inhumane, I tell you.]
no subject
The next sweeps are, in order, kitchen, dining room, hallway and storage. If they're all ordinary, clean and reasonably-used, he'll give up for the day. ]
no subject
But no towels.]
