WEEK 1

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.

[can't believe that's all it takes to get iago to murder]

Perhaps I will. Maybe they'll be kind.

[From the smirk, it's obvious he doesn't believe that.]

[pr159]

Honestly, they seem capricious enough.

[psychophant]

That's certainly true enough. They seem a bit... difficult, to put it nicely.

[pr159]

Just listening to them last night gave me a headache.

[psychophant]

I'm not entirely sure what to make of that showing. Yes, they did answer some questions, but I can't figure out why they decided to show themselves to us in the first place.

[Wouldn't it make more sense to say nothing???]

[pr159]

True, they could just as easily have given us their plans -- or as much as they were willing to reveal, anyway -- in the letters we received on arrival.

I'm inclined to believe the Lady just likes the attention.

[ which, like. same, but. ]

[psychophant]

She probably imagined that going more in her favor.

[sorry, lady............]

[pr159]

Probably.

[ Definitely smirking at that... he does love watching other people get poor receptions. ]

How long do you think it'll be before someone tries something?

[psychophant]

I'll be generous and give it a week.

[that's rude???]

I can't see the Lady simply sitting back if no one kills immediately. A week certainly does seem generous, given her personality. If no one turns up dead in a few days, I wouldn't be surprised if she gets angry.

[smash cut to the motive..........]
