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!]]

[He can't just say "everything", but the answer is everything.]

I helped raise him, and I serve as a member of his guard.

[He looks over at the profiles, pressing his lips together.]

As well as helping with strategy and navigating the political sphere. He's...young.

Ah, a young king... I imagine that comes with all sorts of challenges. Preparing him for the challenges of leading a country certainly seems like a difficult task.

[thank the gods he was never stuck babysitting the royal sibs!!!]

I won't say it was easy, but I believe he'll be a fine king.

[For all of the, like, day he gets to be a king. It's fine. It's fine, he doesn't have to think about Bahamut's grand plan or what he saw from Pryna.]

Is the man you serve difficult to work with?

[If you have to suck up to him...]

King Garon is...

["difficult" is actually the polite way to describe him, hang on—]

He's a bit of a particular ruler who prefers everything to be done a specific way. It has taken quite some time, but I'm able to carry out his wishes as he asks. Truly, I couldn't ask for a better position. Working for him is very rewarding.

[he's definitely not planning to take over once garon kicks the bucket, ignore that profile!!!!]

[Wow, the profile makes that sound incredibly shady. Maybe he's telling the truth, or maybe he's just. Shady.

Still. It's none of his business, so at least Ignis won't call him out on that.]


So he's difficult. Sounds as if you have your work cut out for you - hopefully nothing ill befalls the kingdom in your absence.

I certainly hope not. We are in the middle of a war, so the timing really couldn't be any worse...

[and also he was in the process of stopping a coup but!! it's fine!!!! no need to worry, everything's totally fine.]

[Mood, tho.]

I don't think our hosts particularly care about inconveniencing us, what with their plans for all of us to die.

[It's Fine.]

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-01-06 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, of course not. If anything, that works to their advantage, doesn't it?

[gods. why can't things ever be easy.........]

It certainly gives people incentive.

[Said like he also has a good reason to go back home - and, like, he can't lie and say he wouldn't kill someone to go back.]

Precisely. I'd be surprised if any of us were taken from a point in time in which getting home isn't a concern.

Possible, but unlikely. I doubt many people will freely share such information, though. It's rather...personal.

Very true. I suppose there's nothing we can really do for now aside from explore our surroundings and see if we can get any information from the Lady and her subordinate.
