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.

Not like that seems to matter here. Judging by the note we were given, we arrived here shortly after noon yesterday and it was impossible to tell that.

[ So it'd make sense for someone else who was military-inclined to have an early morning schedule. ]
It's really strange. I'm not sure what sort of ability or circumstances that's causing this constant darkness, but I doubt it's anything good.
[ He hadn't thought too much about it yesterday, with everything that was going on. ]
no subject
I've never seen anything like it. Taking out the power to an area is one thing, perpetual night is something else entirely.
no subject
[ Night vision googles might start coming in handy sooner than later, and so he made a note to check out that shop again. ]
I've seen the sky darken before, but I don't think it's been anything like this. Though, at least it's easy to guess why the fog's there.

[ They bring out a little sass from him but that's probably unsurprising. ]
no subject
The other one seems to hand out answers that are slightly less insipid, but he's not terribly useful either.
no subject
[ It's been awhile since he's seen quite an ego... ]
I'm sure that's definitely one of the big reasons why she has him around.
no subject
[He didn't remark on it, but the very much was an entire section of meeting centered on Y'ALL BE FUCKING.]
no subject
I'd thought maybe there was a misunderstanding at a certain time during one of their conversations yesterday, but...they do get along really well.
[ They did really seem like a married couple, so it wouldn't be too much of a surprise. ]
