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!]]

I suppose it would be one way to guard a room from a murderer...
no subject
It could~ Or just to catch someone.
[ Pointing to fireworks next to the bear trap. ]
Oh! This could be fun.
no subject
[this situation is bad enough without hunting people for sport, ok]
Fireworks, huh... [his eyes soften with more student council memories, though it doesn't actually get a smile out of him.]
I can imagine how they'd light up the night sky. I think they're more suited for a festival, though.
[He turns the page. It does make him think about the reaction Rembrandt seemed to have to lights, so he pauses looking at the flare gun.]
This would be even brighter, right?
no subject
I was thinking it might be fun to light up that castle.
[ Can they shoot fireworks through a window? hmm ]
It would be~ Is there something you want to light up?
no subject
My idea is similar. I'm sure it's no coincidence that all the power seems to have been cut in this city. Our captors don't like light - though I can't say for certain whether or not it's a point of weakness.
[He's ambivalent on the idea of lighting up the castle, though... it doesn't seem like they respond with force to minor annoyances, but he doubts it'll amount to much more than that.]
Anyway, better to hold onto the surprise until it's needed.
no subject
The Lady said they were cut already before she got here.
[ He can't say for sure about the other one though. ]
That's true. Keep it as a trump card just in case.
[ In case they feel extra petty or need to surprise them. ]

Maybe we are the same person? Have you seen us in the same room together?
[ They were then the hosts were introducing themselves. ]
no subject
[and don't try to say you have the clone ability either, ok. he's not buying it!!]
no subject
Oh yeah, there was their introduction.
