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.]]

...They probably are? Maybe?

I really don't know either.

[ Rean thought it was a real shame they couldn't use this fish to make a Seafood dinner plate, though.

It was just a passing harmless thought. Nothing more, nothing less! ]

But they look at least pretty lively even if their conditions aren't really all that great, which I guess is saying something.

[psychophant]

[rean no!!!!]

That's very true. There aren't any dead ones in here, anyway.

[reanbeans]

[ Rean, yes!! ]

Yeah.

...Have you gotten a chance to explore the rest of the museum?

[psychophant]

I have, yes! There are so many fascinating things in here...

[But then he reaches into his robes and produces a card key!]

And I even found something useful for all of us.

[...........he looks so proud of himself...]

[reanbeans]

There really is.

[ And ooh...that sure is a card key!

For the record, Rean even looked kind of impressed? Like, he's sure that was probably not too easy to find given how small it was. ]

...You did.

I really do appreciate all the effort you've given, Iago. I'm sure it's helped us out a lot, especially since it might go to a few places if a card key's required somewhere.

[psychophant]

[rean no, don't encourage him!!]

At the very least it opened up the door to the lab. I'm not entirely sure if it will be useful anywhere else, but at least I've done that much.

[you know on top of being annoying.]

...Though I suppose I can't take all the credit. Pizza did help me.

[reanbeans]

[ Do you mean encourage him x10?? ]

It's nice to know it's already worked on one place around here.

It also might be too much to hope it works on anything else, but goddess knows I won't be complaining if it does.

[ Rean wouldn't consider Iago to be annoying at all. He could tell he was a helpful, kind (hahaha) individual through and through. ]

If that's the case, I'll remember to find him and give thanks to him as well.

[psychophant]

[i am so sorry rean has somehow gotten the wrong impression about this man]

I'll be sure to hold on to it, just in case we come across any more doors like that.

[He doesn't exactly understand card keys but at least he knows how to make them work!!]

Though I do have to wonder how it ended up in the mouth of that dinosaur in the first place...

[That's not something that could happen accidentally?? Was this Rembrandt's idea of a joke...]

[reanbeans]

[ It's absolutely hilarious, tbh ]

Haha, good. That'd be for the best.

[ He's gonna look a little thoughtful at that before he also realized he'd have no clue either. ]

...Maybe one of our captors dropped it in the mouth on purpose?

[psychophant]

[rean deserves better but you're absolutely right.]

That's what I'm thinking. It could be something as simple as entertainment, but...

[Well, he doesn't sound like he's sure of that and he trails off with a frown.]

[reanbeans]

...You're not also thinking that it could've actually moved on its own and snatched up the card key with it's mouth from someone's desk and went back into place, are you?

[ That was actually a little joke.

Night at the Museum, Antumbra edition. ]

[psychophant]

[.................]

Well, no, that's not what I was thinking— You don't think it could do that, do you.

[oh my god he doesn't know how that thing works, can it actually move around??????]

[reanbeans]

[ Rean had an urge to mess around greatly, but he was too nice for that. Only little jokes.

He'll blame hanging out with tricksters for even considering it, though. ]

Honestly, I don't know. But if it's not back in it's usual spot when we go and check...that'll confirm it for sure.

[psychophant]

...Well, I suppose we... should go check...

[IF IT'S NOT THERE HE'S GONNA DIE]

[reanbeans]

[ Rean totally moved it before he had this conversation with Iago - ok no jk. ]

Haha, sure.

[ And then he'll lead the way! And surprise, if he followed Rean, they'll find it's still where it's supposed to be. ]

It looks like it's still here, so I guess we're in the clear.

[psychophant]

[well apparently it might be moved at some point...........]

Oh, good.

[...just pretend he didn't sound so relieved at that.]

It doesn't look like it can move on its own, but I don't know anything about how it was made or... why they felt the need to give it sharp teeth...

[...YEAH HANG ON WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE IT COULD CHOMP ON AN ARM, WHO DESIGNED THIS THING???]
