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!]]

[Zangetsu is... not a happy camper, given the weather. It could be worse -- at least there was thunder and lightning to break up the usual monotony of the rain.

That said, he is... perched... on the counter top, watching Rean like a particularly strange hawk. Or, maybe, given his color scheme, a large horned snowy owl.

What is it?

[ Zangetsu was sure one of those who had a unique appearance, so it's a little surprise being in his presence, but he wasn't bothered. It just made him curious about getting to know him more.

What was more surprising is the other not recognizing pancakes. ]


It's pancakes, and some eggs if you'd like to have those too.

If you've never had pancakes I'd recommend to give them a try.
moonfang: (okei)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-08 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Pancakes...? They're flatter than the pancakes I've seen...

[Japanese pancakes tend to be pretty tall and fluffy, after all. He leans forward and sniffs the air -- it definitely smells good, and his stomach rumbles loudly]

Are they sweet?

You're used to fluffier pancakes?

[ He could try to make them fluffier, he supposed, and yeah, he sure heard that stomach rumble. ]

They are if you put syrup on top. Though, I can even add some jelly inside the actual pancakes to make them sweeter, if you want.
moonfang: (thumbs up!)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-08 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Zangetsu doesn't answer and instead takes one of the pancakes and takes a bite...

... And then quickly eats the whole thing, and reaches for another
]

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-08 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Omg

Zangetsu...he'll just let him take the next pancake, and make more. ]


I'm glad you seem to like them, but how many more would you like?
moonfang: (smug smile!)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-09 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[he has his mouth full, so he holds up two fingers.

Then pauses, then holds up four fingers

Wait. No. Five. Five pancakes.

[ He'll laugh a little at that, but just to make sure he'll wind up making six pancakes for him. ]

You have a really big appetite, don't you?
moonfang: (>:T)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-10 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He swallows his food finally so he can speak]

Ever since I got here I've been real hungry. It's probably because I'm separated from my master.
reanbeans: (40)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-10 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ At least Zangetsu has manners. ]

...? Why does being separated from your master make you so hungry?
moonfang: (back to back)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-12 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, he's just like a nuclear reactor of spirit energy. A miniature sun, really! I've never not been hooked up to that battery, so I guess this body is tryin' to make up for it with food.
reanbeans: (88)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-12 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
...That sounds incredible in a way I've never heard of before, especially since I'm not sure what a nuclear reactor is, but I can get the idea enough of how much.

[ Because the other mentioned a sun which was something he knew existed before he came here. ]
moonfang: (back to back)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-12 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh... not quite that advanced, huh? Well... it's like... a fire. That only uses a little fuel, and never burns out. I guess that's the easiest way to describe it.
reanbeans: (2)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-12 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess not.

[ What is advanced tech...and yet having mecha. ]

A nuclear reactor is like that? It sounds rather powerful.
moonfang: (if you look at your reflection)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-12 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
The energy a nuclear reactor can provide is nearly limitless! But, they can go out of control and explode, releasing radiation. ... Ah, poisonous energy, basically. Ichigo isn't radioactive, though! .... I don't think.
reanbeans: (114)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-13 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'd hope he wouldn't be. That sounds like it'd be really inconvenient.

[ To...put it lightly. ]

Can you tell me what Ichigo is like? I'm curious to know about the person you're serving.

[ Besides how strong he was, since he got an idea of that one. ]
moonfang: (ultrapout)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-13 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Well, for one thing, he's an idiot. [Zangetsu says it somewhat fondly, though, even though he rolls his eyes] He's always a hundred times more worried about protecting and saving everyone else, at the expense of himself.
reanbeans: (87)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-13 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Well, doesn't that sound familiar. ]

...Haha, really?

You don't sound like you mind him much though, despite that.
moonfang: (you spin me right round)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-13 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, we are the same, him and I. So if I hated him, it would mean I hate myself. And I don't!
