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 sure a... variety of people here. [ A weapon. Who's pouting. He holds in a laugh. ]

I did bring it up with her. She wants us to kill each other to see our "potential" but then she takes away our powers. What's the point in that? And then what after. For now the coward seems to be reveling in being "better" than us.
moonfang: (REALLY?!)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-09 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[that, at least, makes the pouty sword spirit laugh a bit] It's certainly a motley crew, that's fer damn sure!

She's leaving a lot out, that's all I can think of -- all the details that would make any of this make a lick of goddamn sense. And what after, indeed... what kind of afterlife does this place have? It frustrates me that I can't perceive it.
tokihanate: (huh)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-01-09 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Probably better to amuse her that her playthings are so different.

... Afterlife? [ He... didn't read the profiles. ] Perceiving the afterlife... [ He puts away the questions that are popping up in his mind for now though. ] Well, perhaps it doesn't have one.
moonfang: (really.)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-09 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Who would want to play with twenty of the same toy? Haha!

I suppose that's possible... I guess this world could have a more direct method of recycling soulstuff. Or the Lady and her little pal have messed with it that much... Ugh. Gives me a headache.
tokihanate: (there's no one sane)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-01-09 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ All these words are making less and less sense. So he's gonna opt to dismiss them. ]

Well, the certain thing is they're able to affect different sort of powers, from worlds that aren't their own.
moonfang: (hm?)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-09 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[probably wise. He's mostly talking to himself, anyway]

And that sort of power is preeee~tty scary if ya ask me. Messin' with the affairs of so many worlds? It's bound to be upsetting to some kind of balance.
tokihanate: (this world sure sucks)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-01-09 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Most likely. [ He doesn't really care about other worlds though. Just his people he cares about on his world. ]

How they're doing is as much of a question as to why. [ His gaze flits to the direction of the castle. ] The answers are probably hidden in their little hideout.
moonfang: (sunset sadness)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-10 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yer probably right. There's a pretty high wall around it though, right? Ugh. Something like that wouldn't be a problem at all with my normal powers... but... with enough water I might be able to get up over it.
tokihanate: (huh)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-01-10 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? Do you have a plan in mind? [ He was just thinking of waiting it out for someone else to take matters into their own hands. ]
moonfang: (aww man really?)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-10 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
The shitty gift our hosts gave us could prove useful for something like that. If you don't mind climbing up ice.
tokihanate: (hey there....)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-01-10 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Well. I could watch. [ He's still recovering from one injury, he'll wait for a little before going for another but thank you Zangetsu. ] I'm sure it'll be... exciting to see what happens.
moonfang: (sneer)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-10 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I ain't dumb enough to go alone, so.
tokihanate: (go on then)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-01-10 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you can make some able-bodied friends to take along with. [ smile smile. ]
moonfang: (reflected)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-10 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Heheh. Perhaps. What kind of shit did you get yourself into already anyway?
tokihanate: (huh)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-01-10 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Me? I haven't been doing much around here. I slept. [ a lot. And vandalized the area. But you know. ]

moonfang: (hmph)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-10 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Hehehe! So it was something from before? The least they could have done is heal you.
tokihanate: (you're stupidly cute)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-01-10 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh I was healed by someone else. But since he's a quack [ And a quick patch up job during an emergency......], well, you can guess.
moonfang: (are you sure you wanna do that?)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-10 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[he cackles] Ah well... it could be worse, I guess.
tokihanate: (heh you're dumb)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-01-10 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, definitely~ [ He could have a hole in his chest like someone else here. ]
