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.

[[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!]]

[Sirius is still fuming, but he's tried to calm down so as not to snap at his fellow captives. He's smoothed out his hostage photo as best as he could, keeping the part with Rembrandt folded up so he can just look at the smiling Irish girl.]

Have any of you gained new abilities?

[apothecares]

Can't say I've noticed much of a difference. Not that there's as much stuff good for medicine either.

[he'll just speak between bites of food]

[pr159]

Tell me about it.

[ Medicine-maker high five, only not, because this sucks. ]

[contrabandit]

Aside from suddenly being able to read and understand Polish of all things?

[notbymyside]

I'm assuming besides that, yes. Have you noticed anything else strange?

[contrabandit]

Yes and no. Yes, I’ve been feeling... weird. Something unfamiliar and yet familiar all at once. It’s aggravating, really.

[notbymyside]

Weird? What sort of symptoms of 'feeling weird' do you have? An upset stomach, aversion to previously-enjoyed hobbies, a sense of impending doom?

[twoasone]

Have you?

[ He isn't going to mention what happened last night, thanks. ]

[wishuponazoi]

I have. Though it's...more of a feeling, that there's something I can do that I couldn't before.

[twoasone]

Have you tried doing it yet?

[wishuponazoi]

I haven't yet found a suitable target.

[noellemadic]

...no. I have nothing.

[She says, her voice sound strained. It's clear she's lying, but she looks like she's going to stay silent about the topic]

[inordertobelieve]

[ He's just going to... quietly observe this with some interest. If nobody else is speaking up, he isn't either. ]

[notbymyside]

[Well people are speaking up and now Ango is watching Mikami with interest. What will the good prosecutor do?]

[deadlygoals]

[ when a megane has all four eyes on another megane ]

[notbymyside]

[Well now he's got two on the other megane and two on Dazai. Stop being a shitlord.]

[inordertobelieve]

[ He notices that look and he will pointedly wait a little longer to insert himself into the conversation. ]

I hadn't been sure if the feeling I'd been getting was merely paranoia from the overload of foreign impressions here. But yes, I do get a... kind of a sense... that I have some ability as well.

[ There, look, he's not duplicitous! ]

[bawcock]

[ Looking around the group and then sighing. ]

We'll never get anywhere if we don't at least talk about it. I'm not too interested in holding show and tell here, but there's no harm in saying "yes."

[baitless]

[...he's used to being cagey but. oh well, he guesses...]

Yes, I've noticed something a bit strange in that area.

[bawcock]

[ Nodding his head. ] So have I. I've never been the magical sort, but ever since I woke up here, I've got this strange power.

Do you think this is what they meant about "gifting" us something?

[ 'cause he can't think of anything else that quantifies. ]

[reanbeans]

[ He'll nod, seeing little point in hiding it. ]

I have. I don't really know what to do with them at the moment, but it's definitely something I didn't have before I came here.

[notbymyside]

I cannot really go into the details of what it is- my original power is confidential, and I haven't yet been able to experiment with my new power and figure out what it can do- but yes. There was a change for me.

[tokihanate]

What I feel more is incredible lack of my normal abilities.

[ What was an esper without esp, after all? Is this what Hinomiya feels like. ]

[moonfang]

Yeah. Same here. [and he's still pissy about it]

[tokihanate]

It sucks. [ Ditto here. ]
