WEEK 2
WEEK 2
The first week is over, and two of your number are gone. Everything related to the case has been cleaned up, with nary a knife left at the Main Square nor a trace of the mud shapes that once painted the clock tower walls, although some stray graffiti still dots some storefronts.
However you may feel about the entire debacle on Friday, there’s no doubt that something has changed about the atmosphere, although whether it’s something tangible or just a trick of the mind is hard to say. Maybe it’s nothing. Either way, there are more palpable changes to the city, with some of the fog retreating away from a few of the surrounding areas, uncovering new buildings and streets along the way. The night, however, remains unchanged as always save for the slow waxing of the moon, leaving it bright and full as early as Thursday night. Regardless of if you take it as an omen or not, at least that means the streets will be lit up fairly well for the week, provided some inconvenient cloud cover doesn’t slide right in.
[[Welcome to Week 2! Note that new areas have been added, and can be found under the Week 2 tab on our Locations page. Once again, 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 privately contact The Lady or Rembrandt.]]

Science Museum Investigation + McDonalds
Later on, he can be found in McDonalds. He's inside of the ball pit, sipping soup from the milk bar. ]
It seems pretty mean to find a burger place without any power, huh?
[ Also hopefully there isn't anything in the ball pit. ]

Investigation
This door seems to be meant to keep the laboratory airtight, the door extends all the way to the frame in such a manner you couldn't pass not even a piece of paper under it. A sign on the door says 'ONLY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL', but it has the museum's logo in a corner, meaning this is not the Lady's doing.
The lock...it's actually a card reader!]

investigation!
Anyway, the new areas are definitely where his attention is going to be today - for most of the day he'll be in the science museum, examining every little thing in awe. There isn't anything like this in Nohr?? This is so cool. He's primarily interested in the museum portion, but you can definitely catch him in the aquarium staring at the fish. Either way, he's taking notes and absolutely fascinated by everything here.
Of course, while he's here, he might as well investigate! His primary focus initially is on the museum side - but first he's interested in looking for any doors besides the locked one - is there some way to actually get back into those exhibits?
The art studio is where you can find him later on, picking up some notebooks and inks and... actually, he's just going to swipe a bunch of stuff, come loot with him!! Or tell him to stop looting. If you're stopping by, Iago will eventually greet you.]
This place is a wreck. You'd think our hosts would clean up a bit...

Investigation
Yes! You can get into these exhibits. The doors that lead into them are unlocked, and some have velvet cords surrounding them, but it's not like you'll be stopped if you get past them. No security guards at all in this place!
You're welcome to manhandle the exhibitions all you want! Is there any in particular you'd like to check in detail?]

ART INVESTIGATION
Guess where the artist will be exploring today. Specifically, poking through the debris for anything interesting.
When he's done with that, he's going to actually use the art studio for its intended purpose. Sure, his preferred medium is functional sculptures, but maybe people might be happier if he starts drawing portraits of the deceased on some of the canvasses.
Of course, he can't be there forever, so of course he goes exploring and ends up at... A science museum with a functional aquarium. He can't help but look up at the happy little fish in their tanks. A pleasant enough sight, except for one problem. ]
... Who's feeding these fish?

SOMETHING HAPPENS!
Which is why that two people receiving invitations is both alarming and an opportunity. Mako and Noelle received from the hands of Rembrandt an elegant invitation:]
Informing anyone else about this invitation will make it null and void. Meet Rembrandt at the tram station in two hours'
[It's a priceless opportunity. Of course both Mako and Noelle accepted! Noelle's invitation asked her to go to the station in three hours, ensuring the two wouldn't see each other. Just like the invitation said, Rembrandt received them, and soon they were escorted towards the castle.
Hours passed.
With this many people sleeping in the same building, it was to be expected someone would notice two of their group were missing. Where could they have gone? The answer comes later at night. Without warning, the Lady opens the door of the building and shouts inside. Rembrandt is standing behind her, doing his duty as bodyguard]
Darlings, I decided to play fair and inform you all Mako and Noelle are not coming back. They had an...unfortunate accident. [Although she's nonchalant about it, her face shows intense concentration, like she's thinking about a lot of things at once] Since I know you're all so insistent about proof, I brought some.
[She takes out of her pocket a couple photos, tossing them inside, freshly printed. In them you can see quite ghastly images: Mako and Noelle sprawled on a very expensive-looking couch, immobile and with their eyes wide open, staring at the empty air. They have clean stab wounds on their chests, clearly done by someone who knew exactly where and how to strike. The Lady could be seen with some kind of reading device, holding it against Noelle's head. There's no doubt: when this photo was taken, both were already dead]
Humans can be so fragile sometimes. I am not sorry, of course! But it'd be really nice if you all could be a little tougher, darlings. [She smirks] Theories fail, experiments don't reach the desired results, and you always learn something. This was very enlightening. But I cannot take all the credit! This was all thanks to a suggestion I received a few days ago. If you'd like to complain about this result, you should talk with the one who brought up this idea: Ango Sakaguchi. Too bad it didn't work, dear! I guess the fatality rate was actually a hundred percent!
[Without even a farewell, the Lady closes the door, leaving with Rembrandt. There are now two people less in Krakow, killed by the masterminds' hand.
In just one week since your arrival, four people have been lost. How many more will die before this game ends?]

MODS!
He's passively tried a few combinations since then (and reached peak amateur sleuth when he tried a makeshift fingerprint kit—bupkis there, by the way. And also a lot of time spent taking apart pencils) but with so many possibilities, it'd take an absolute miracle to actually unlock it that way. The only miracle he really believes in is the Luminary and since that gets him nowhere here, over the past week Erik's started poking around the building during the middle of the night trying, uh... different methods.
Will today pay off?? Will he just look like a silly fool? Who knows, but come Monday afternoon Erik can be found in the post office eying the mail chute.
If you're lucky, you'll see him actually crawling into it. Breaking and entering? Yes please!
Later in the day (after he either fails or succeeds), Erik can be found frowning at the books in the bookstore. There's not a lot to do here besides to try desperately breaking into locked areas, so a book wouldn't be the worst.
But he's not much of a reader and the look on his face makes it pretty obvious. After he gets over his apparent aversion, he moseys over to the area with the slimmest looking books and plucks one up to read. It's probably a children's book, fyi.
When he gives up on the books, he goes for the art studio. He'd going for Cultured today, clearly. If you ignore the whole mail thing, that wasn't cultured that was silly. He takes a particular interest in the kiln and actually goes and sticks his head into it. ]
Do you think this still works? Wonder what kind of stuff you could make in a forge this big. [ It isn't really a forge but whatever. ]
