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.]]

[And from out of left field-- No really, he isn't all that invested, but he was sort of quietly rooting for near-future lawzard?? Sighs, some people ruin all the fun even for the people who don't know what fun is. Rude.]

[ Even he isn't going to deny that, sheesh. ]
I'm not exactly inclined to do that, yes. But all it means is that we have to work even harder at preventing future cases - or at solving them.

[Somehow said extremely mildly but extremely judgmentally all at once.
He really wouldn't put it past this dude at this point, all things considered. What exactly is he, anyway, some sort of weird justicebot. And this is coming from Ulquiorra "I have exactly 3 expressions" Cifer here.]
There is no 'we'. There is only you, and your strange crusade and stranger fixation on whatever meaning it is you've created here on this playground that was made for you.

But that's not something he can say. ]
Morality is not dependent on your location. Even within completely lawless land, one's own choices make a difference.
no subject
Some things are consistent, it seems, as absurd as they are. That being said, discussing meaning with Ulquiorra is quite possibly either a fool's errand or a masochist's quest, either or. Mikami is wise to keep his mouth shut here.]
That is mere arrogance. To believe your morality can reach anywhere, or that you can affect anything. The view of someone who cannot see very far.
no subject
What would you even suggest as an alternative? Your defeatist attitude for sure won't affect anything. With a point of view like that, why would anybody even try?
no subject
[It seems doubtful now that any sort of shinigami jurisdiction reaches this place; it's too isolated and a thing unto itself for that, and he's sure that even without his Pesquisa nor any sort of spiritual sense, traces of their presence would have made itself known by now. You can't escape the pests, after all.
And then there's the matter of those blue creatures. But that's neither here nor there.]
... How human, to call knowing your limits defeatist. Perhaps, once you are no longer human, you will have a more useful perspective.
