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!]]

[Mm, yeah, that...]

While I can certainly agree that your skills are incredible and should be coveted, [can he just take you back to nohr with him??] I found her attempts to persuade you to be downright abhorrent and insulting. You have every right to be furious for how she was treating you.

I thought she was entirely serious with that initial ruse, that is the worst part!

[She was definitely taking advantage of his love for validation. You know, the flaw he won't admit to.

He utters a low growl and crosses his arms.]


And now she thinks I'm going to just happily accept another offer when we're through with this. She really should have known better if she claims to know me so well.

I'm not sure if it's her ego or if she truly doesn't know us as well as she thinks she does. Either way, it really was rude of her to assume you'd be willing to put up with her, especially once all of this is over.

[you know, assuming we don't all die horribly.]
ortion: (❀ just no)

Thank you, I thought so as well! When this is over, I will make sure that I am able to absolutely reject her and leave this hellhole. That all of us will.

[Because he fully intends to survive, damn it!]

Agreed.

[Well, all of us that are left, anyway.]

I'm certainly looking forward to that day.
