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.

[ There's a moment of silence here, judgmental. Don't make fun of him, jeeze. ]

Well, as dire as our situation is right now, this was the only option to consider at all.

[tokihanate]

True. You don't seem like the priest type. [ And neither is he. But he just smiles amusedly. That's what he's here for though Mikami...! ]

[inordertobelieve]

[ If only you knew.... But no, Mikami nods. This is not the time to dwell on irony in his life. ]

I really am not. I'm not even Christian. Wearing the robes felt nothing but inappropriate.

[tokihanate]

Well, most Japanese aren't. But do you have a particular reason to be against it? [ He tilts his head, still smiling]

[inordertobelieve]

I'm of another faith. Though my reason to oppose wearing it for longer than I have to is simply related to respecting the other religion.

[ He may not think Christianity has much merit, but he understands the feeling of finding something sacred. ]

[tokihanate]

Wow, how honorable. [ it's uncertain how much he means that.]

[inordertobelieve]

Are you implying there is something laughable about that?

[ Yeah, he does not buy that he means this. ]

[tokihanate]

Not particularly. You just seem so serious. Even about a faith you don't practice.
