WEEK 2

WEEK 2

monday

tuesday

wednesday

thursday

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.]]

I can't get out without spilling it.

[ The balls are betraying him. ]

[puperoni]

Oh, that makes sense. [ Okay, holding his hand out. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ All according to plan. Just going to grab his hand (spoilers: with the non-soup hand), to try to yank him in. ]

Oh ho~ You fell for my trap!

1/2

[puperoni]

Uwahhh!!!!!!!!!! [ Yup there he goes, flying into the ballpit with all the grace of a tossed pizza pie. ]

[puperoni]

[ A few seconds later after he's flails his way to the surface. ]

I knew I shouldn't have trusted you.

[deadlygoals]

[ Laughing as he moves to the edge to put his soup on the floor. He really doesn't want to spill it all over the balls. ]

You shouldn't have~ But now you're here.

[puperoni]

[ That really would make the ballpit all kinds of disgusting. ]

Am I the only one you pulled in here? [ Was he the only one this naive enough, he's trying to do better! ]

[deadlygoals]

I got Rean, too~

[ Does that make him feel better? ]

[puperoni]

...were we really the only two? [ Yes and no. ]

[deadlygoals]

I'm sure there will be more if people weren't busy exploring the other places.

[puperoni]

Then you have let me know who else falls in! [ Or maybe he'll wait here. He kinda blends in with the balls tbh. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ He does. ]

Maybe you can help with getting others in?

[puperoni]

What would I have to do? [ It's not a yes but.. ]

[deadlygoals]

Pull them in. They will be suspicious of me, but might not notice you.

[puperoni]

Because you're that kind of person?

[deadlygoals]

Because of my job. A lot of people look mafia and assume the worst, you know.

[ And because he's that kind of person ]

[puperoni]

But you like your job?

[deadlygoals]

[ That gets a pause. ]

I can't say that I like it.

[puperoni]

Then you should find a different one! Even if you need to move away, it's better than staying somewhere that isn't working out for you.

fifty years later

[deadlygoals]

[ There's a pause at that before he laughs. ]

Maybe I should.

this is hardly dinosaur time

[puperoni]

There you go! So what kind of job do you want?

[deadlygoals]

[ This is before he gets the "be on the side that saves people" talk so he has to think about it... ]

I haven't really thought about it. It can't be anything boring like a desk job.

[puperoni]

I couldn't do one of those either. Hmm... I think jobs are supposed to be something you like to do!
