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.]]

If we take his statements to be literal, then maybe what he means is that the process of transforming into the creature is so unstable that some people may not even survive long enough to actually become scaly monsters.

It's a death sentence either way. I'd thought that they would like us to kill one another rather than manually kill us in trial, but it appears I was wrong...

That might be it. All this really means is we need to be careful what we say to them—and what we agree to. They're way too eager to offer us ways of dying without giving us a proper warning.

[ Mako and Noelle are proof of that, unfortunately. ]

It seems we need to treat every conversation with our host as a contract negotiation. We can't say anything that can be construed as approval.
