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!]]

I'd hardly call it "light".

[ she doesn't look up from her book. shiro will recognize it as one of the ones raven picked up back at the bookstore, though. ]

I'm doing what I can to try to understand how this planet works. Earth seems to be similar to Remnant in many ways, but Remnant is far more advanced and powerful.

[ He can appreciate that! Shiro nods and takes a seat next to her. ]

If you've got any other questions I can answer them to the best of my ability. [ a pause. ] Remnant's more advanced? Now I'm curious.
raventhaw: (legends have scattered)

[ ... ]

It is. For example, this planet has a phone and a camera. Separately. Remnant has them all in one device known as a Scroll.

[ she closes her book and looks ahead at...nothing, really. ]

Scrolls can also keep track of your teammates' aura, which is a manifestation of one's soul. With enough training, it can be used as a protective field. It won't stop you from feeling pain, but it'll prevent you from actually getting hurt.
galrarm: and that earth was flat. (People used to say that man couldn’t fly)

[personal profile] galrarm 2020-01-11 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Shiro's an attentive listener, and he nods. ]

My earth's more advanced than this one; they aren't called Scrolls, but cell phones. [ he pauses. ] They can't do anything like keeping track of someone's aura, though. That's pretty amazing.

It may look like it is to someone who doesn't come from a world with aura.

[ nothing special, etc. ]

I'm assuming that's the case, since this version of earth clearly doesn't have it.
