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.]]

[...definite prolonged silence of shared disgust.]

...why would any parent let their child play in there?!

Poor supervision is sadly more common than one would like... and I don't think the general public is as hygiene-minded as it should be.

[ Why are ball-pits so common? What do they want from unsuspecting normal people? A mystery for the ages. ]

I suspect not.

[The world may never know.]

And here I thought it was suspect when children played too close to a stable...

My world, and thus likely this world, has generally gotten much cleanlier since horses stopped being the primary means of travel, but somehow people only manage to invent new and innovative health hazards.

I suspect you're right. I assume things like the trams and subways they have in this city have taken over from wagons and coaches?

That's correct. There are also smaller motorized vehicles for one to five people. They're called cars. They're the most directly comparable to horse-drawn carriages, I'd say.
