WEEK 1

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.

[ How are you this fine... well it's still morning despite what the moon says. Maybe not for so much longer though, as very early risers (or maybe very late sleepers!) can find Pizza skulking around the kitchen. He's doing his best to be sneaky, but given everything he is that's not going too well. Feel free to spot him throwing up the cabinets with gusto. ]

Is this the last one?

[ Later in the actual morning he'll be popping into the dining room to be nosy while people eat. ]

Mooooorning. [ A big yawn. ] How's your breakfast? [ Someone switched all the salt and sugar in this place and it definitely wasn't Pizza no sireee. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ He's there with a cup of coffee. He can tell that the sugar looks way too smooth to actually be sugar, but he's going to dumping it into the coffee anyways, acting like he doesn't notice. ]

Morning~ I haven't gotten any yet. What do you recommend?

[puperoni]

Hmm... maybe cereal with sugar on top? [ They don't have cereal only bran flakes, but close enough. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Adding some more "sugar" to his coffee as he thinks about it. ]

I could try that. Maybe Rean can make me some?

[ yeah, he'll see if he can get the waifu to pour him cereal. He does take a sip of his coffee. There is a pause before he takes another slow drink of it. ]

I think I added a little too much sugar. It's very sweet.

[puperoni]

You need someone to make you cereal? [ Even he knows how to do that on his own! But more importantly- ]

...really? [ Blink, blink, blink. ]

[deadlygoals]

I only know how to make really hard tofu or super hot pot that gives you energy for a full day.

[ His cooking is... interesting. Giving another sip of his coffee before nodding. ]

Yeah, it is. Want to try?

[puperoni]

I've always wanted to try hot pot, but it's really hard to find in the Light Kingdom. [ In before Pizza dies from Dazai's cooking. ]

No. [ Scrunching up his nose not at all suspiciously. ] I don't like coffee.

[deadlygoals]

If we can find the ingredients for it, I'll make some for you.

[ Look... his cooking is just strange. It'll give you energy or strength for a day, but then you feel strangely without any energy or strength for a couple days later with regretti ]

You won't even taste the coffee if we add some cream.

[...look Seteth voluntarily got up this early and yet, it is still too early to deal with this, probably]

...

Do you need assistance with anything...?

[watch out pizza he’s the fun police]

[puperoni]

Mmhmm, could you show me where the—[ Looks at Seteth. This guy doesn't seem like the fun type. ]

...do you need help? You look pretty tired.

[baitless]

Ah, I didn't sleep particularly well last night.

[...just let him rub his eyes a bit...]

But I will be fine. I believe. I need a distraction more than anything, I think.

[puperoni]

A distraction, huh? Do you know how to cook?

[baitless]

I'm no chef, but I can make edible food, at least. If you're thinking about making breakfast, I could help.

[puperoni]

Uhhh, yeah sure! Something sweet! No wait, something salty. Is there something salty-sweet? [ Unsure of whether he's trying to cover his tracks or just word salad at this point. ]

[baitless]

[...that's a little... strange, but you know. Seteth thinks about it...]

I think you can make something salty-sweet, actually. They do complement each other, to a certain extent, but I can't really think of any recipes off the top of my head.

[youspinmeknightround]

[he's just here eating some mildly sweet scrambled eggs??? tastes a little like tamagoyaki actually]

It's not bad. I can't put my finger on it, but it's kind of nostalgic.

[puperoni]

[ Blink, blink. ]

How's that?

[youspinmeknightround]

Hmm. I think... it tastes like something my younger cousin would have made in her cooking lessons. There's this egg dish we used to eat that was kind of sweet.

[out of habit he is steering clear of directly mentioning the specific Japanese food, but also. It's dawning on him that this shouldn't be sweet]

Huh, I wonder why. [he did use the salt shaker, right? glancing between it and the sugar pot which we presume are unmistakably different in shape]

[puperoni]

[ Laughing not at all suspiciously. ]

Everything here is weird, so maybe the salt is weird too ☆.

kitchen;

[reanbeans]

[ That's curious.

Rean didn't make a sound, wondering what Pizza was up to first before he said anything...? Will he see Pizza begin to attempt be a bad boy? ]

[puperoni]

[ Yes. Rean will totally catch pizza pulling out a bag of flour and a bag of sugar, opening them both. ]

[reanbeans]

[ He'll continue to watch, and if that does lead to anything like...let's say pouring out things/looking like he's being wasteful and/or switching salt/sugar... ]

P I Z Z A, what do you think you're doing?

[puperoni]

[ Wow???? No, guilty as charged. ]

AHHH!!! [ Way to go Rean he's dropping both bags now, it's gonna look like a blizzard in here. ] Nothing! I'm not doing anything! What are you doing!?!

[reanbeans]

Nice try, but I'm sure I saw you messing with the ingredients.

[ B u s t e d.

Also gdit wasting stuff as he's going to try to clean that up. ]

What do you have to say for yourself?

[puperoni]

[ Totally busted, his shoulders sag in defeat. ]

We were just playing around.
