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!]]

[ There's a little teasing edge to his voice, but that's all. He has no intentions of saying a breath of this to anyone.
He'll manage to seat himself down in the dining room since that's close by. ]
I've been a little curious since our talk last time, but...what's Kimg Garon like? We've got our own royalty in Erebonia and it's always interesting hearing about others.
no subject
King Garon is... a bit difficult to work with at times. [That's understating it a lot.] He's very particular in how he wants things to be done. He is an excellent ruler, however; the people of Nohr have been loyal to him for a very long time.
[...mostly because he rules with an iron fist and they don't have a choice or they'll be executed, but details!!]
I've always found working for King Garon to be immensely rewarding regardless of any difficulties.
no subject
[ Granted, Rean's saying this only because he was blissfully unaware to Garon's tyrannical rule, but hey. Sometimes ignorance was bliss. ]
no subject
He is. I've been managing things for him for... quite a long time, now. His health has taken a turn for the worse lately, so he's relying almost exclusively on me.
[Not "almost", he literally won't let anyone else in to see him.]
no subject
Iago plsHe'll frown a little at hearing that bit of news there, though. ]
I can't imagine how difficult that's been for the both of you...so I hope that he's able to recover soon.
no subject
[hahaha jk hopefully he dies and iago's left as his successor!!!
...he might feel a bit bad about garon's death but look, we all can see it coming!!!]
I really do need to return home as quickly as possible so I can continue to assist him. There really isn't a worse possible time they could have dragged me here.
no subject
Let's do our best to return back home as soon as possible.
[ Though, now that he gave it some thought, and remembering just how petty/desperate their captors were... ]
...And really, I wouldn't be surprised if they had picked such a bad time on purpose. It just seems like something they'd do.
no subject
[Of course, it's possible that it really is just a coincidence, but that seems unlikely.]
no subject
Yeah. I was in the middle of something important myself, so that definitely doesn't help their case either.
no subject
[...]
If I may ask... [he's gonna anyway!!] What were you in the middle of?
no subject
My friends, students, and I were in the middle of trying to put a stop to another one of Ouroboros' schemes since it involved a lot of innocent people getting hurt, putting it simply.
no subject
Who - or what - is Ouroboros?
no subject
It's a secret society, that has some kind of hidden agenda. They've basically intervened in the history of other countries to their benefit, and always are up to no good, whether that means helping with start a war or otherwise.
no subject
no subject
no subject
no subject
[ To which he didn't exactly know what it was, at this point. ]
Which really isn't known to me, but you can guess how causing a lot of conflict between other countries could end up being trouble.
no subject
Of course. I'm curious about why they would want to go to so much trouble...
[He's totally not opposed to war?? He's basically running a war, it's fine. But hmm...]
Well, with any luck you'll return soon to help put a stop to whatever plans they have.
