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.

I guess it'd be too easy if something like that was in a book.

[ Though, now that he thought about it... ]

Were you trying to look up image manipulation from just a technology perspective, or did you think magic was still on the table as well?

[raventhaw]

A technology perspective, but I wouldn't rule out magic, obviously.

[ good thinking, rean. ]

I doubt we'll find anything too revealing from looking at these. We need to uncover the other locations on the map, but I'm sure they're hidden for a reason.

[reanbeans]

[ He nodded. ]

Let's keep both in mind. If the Lady was a witch, I can easily see how she'd be able to do some image manipulation.

[ And on the technology half, there was already the explanation given by a few others of the possibilities. Either way, Rean couldn't say he was leaning towards any direction in particular just yet. ]

We really do. If there was a way to get past the fog, I'm sure that'll help immensely.

[raventhaw]

[ she closes her book. it's a sign of acknowledgement, even if it doesn't seem like much. she picks up the next book -- it's on history, this time. ]

I'm reading these in the meantime. If anything it'll teach me about this world and show me the similarities and differences it has to Remnant.

[reanbeans]

[ He'll definitely take it as one. ]

...Remnant? Is that the name of the country you've come from?

[raventhaw]

Planet, actually.

[ yep. it's an entire planet known as remnant. ]

[reanbeans]

[ Wow. That's quite an extensive comparison she'd be making... ],/small>

Oh...so you're well-traveled, I'm assuming?

[raventhaw]

You could say that.

[ so, yes. ]

Earth seems to be further behind in its technological advancements and lacks the same capabilities of those on Remnant.

[reanbeans]

I've been to neither, I'm from a place called Zemuria, and the country Erebonia.

It does seem like this place has less technology than I'm used to, but how advanced is Remnant?
