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 doesn't like it, but fine!! As long as we're off that topic!!]

No, they don't. Sorcerers do wear similar headgear, [gesturing to the circlet in the back] but this mask is unique.
twoasone: (What if they find us?)

[personal profile] twoasone 2020-01-07 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I can tell. It seems to frame your face so nicely...

[ He seems a bit focused on that face... ]

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-01-07 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't seem to particularly care about the intense staring, it's the words that get his one visible eye to dart.]

I'm pleased you can appreciate it, then.
twoasone: (But we just met him yesterday)

[personal profile] twoasone 2020-01-08 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ He chuckles at the reaction. ]

I suppose I should take that as a compliment... [ What is under the mask? Can he find a way to ask? ]
psychophant: (✦ 03)

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-01-08 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
That is what I meant it as.

[His look is definitely going wary now.]
twoasone: (so why are we weeping?)

[personal profile] twoasone 2020-01-08 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yes...

[ Perhaps another time. This man looks ready to run.

... He glances to the ceiling, listening to the pouring rain outside. ]


Do you think that storm will let up anytime soon?
psychophant: (✦ 03)

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-01-08 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Hmm... Well, if he's dropping it for now, then that's fine.]

I certainly hope so. It would be nice if it would warm up as well, but I suspect it won't.

[he's going to be spending the whole game in these priest's robes, isn't he...]
twoasone: (Fill my glass)

[personal profile] twoasone 2020-01-08 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Has Iago ever heard of washing your clothes in the bathtub? ]

I doubt it... Though I really wish I knew what month it is right now.
psychophant: (✦ 92)

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-01-08 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[well of course he's going to wash the priest's robes!! his shirt's just. low-cut and made of mesh, okay.]

I suppose this world is running on its own calendar... I hadn't considered that before.

[...oh no, it's winter, isn't it...]
twoasone: (Talked about everything)

[personal profile] twoasone 2020-01-08 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ why ]

... Neither have I. I simply assumed it was using the Georgian calendar like in my world, but...

[ If it was winter, there would be more snow... But now he's worried about randomly time traveling. ]

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-01-08 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[dark mage aesthetic.]

Georgian calendar— No, never mind. I'm not going to get into a conversation about calendars and the differences in time between worlds.

[He's already struggling to deal with the idea of different worlds, he's not going this to himself!!]

Tell me about yourself instead. Shin, correct?

[He tips his head to indicate the profile.]
twoasone: (I'm just reminiscing)

[personal profile] twoasone 2020-01-08 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ Aw, he was just getting into it. ]

Yes? What is it?
psychophant: (✦ 37)

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-01-08 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Why is your name in quotes?

[One-name wonders are obviously fine, he sure as hell doesn't have a last name, but yours is in quotes and that's suspicious.]
twoasone: (Why do we bother to stay?)

[personal profile] twoasone 2020-01-10 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah... That...]

That's a good question. I've been wondering the same thing myself.

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-01-10 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
It certainly does seem that they've made some errors in the information here, so perhaps that's one of them.

[or maybe there's a deeper meaning in it!!! who knows.]
