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!]]

...Oh and I did have a conversation with The Lady a day ago. I'll sum up what information I've managed to get out of her so far.
[ On account of accidentally walking in on her and tracking in mud. It's fiiine. ]
She apparently set up shop in the bookstore to keep a closee eye on us. When I asked her about it, she said it was to keep things from going 'awry'. By that I've assumed by things not going to their plans. She also said that in her world, people were trying to get their hands on her knowledge and power, which seems to imply she's not from here.
She's mentioned that towns' lives revolved around her, and that people would even give their lives to serve her—though I had a hard time imagining that. And she's said that there's hardly anyone who's heard of her world that doesn't admire or fear her. She even called herself a 'living legend".
I probably should've thought to ask some other questions, but I really hadn't planned on visiting her at all in the first place. Still, I hope knowing this information could help us as well.
