WEEK 3
WEEK 3
Another week, another set of bodies to add to the pile. Two lured in by The Lady's machinations, and another two done in by misfortune; six of your number are dead already. Who knows who it will be the next time? And for what reason? Nevertheless, there’s no choice but to keep pushing on in your own way; whether that means barricading yourself inside your room for the rest of your stay, leaving artwork of your fellow Survivors around the housing area, or eating all the raw meat in the vicinity… well, everyone deals with things differently.
Either way, you understand the drill by now, yes? Another portion of the city reveals itself as the fog retreats yet again, lampposts lighting the way to the new areas as usual. The full moon wanes to half this week too, so make the most of it.
[[Welcome to Week 3! Note that new areas have been added, and can be found under the Week 3 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.]]

investigation - subway
There's going to be a short period of time right after where he's making a go at making a few sweets, going at it with a baking mat. It seemed to entirely some candy, and he was trying to make a particular shape out of it. It's pulled-candy—definitely not going to be something he's handing out eagerly in the morning, though.
Once done, Rean could be also seen bringing some of that breakfast food into the dining hall in the clergy housing with quite a few plates, because he wasn't about to assume everyone was going to flock there. ]
Good morning, I made some food, so if you want some feel free to have whatever you'd like.
Let me know if you need anything else as well, alright?
[ Following prompt: Closed to Dist
Towards the middle of the afternoon, however, Rean will be meeting up with Dist, having his materials ready. They will head over to the subway, to begin their investigation. Though, before he stepped through, he will check with his current attendee. ]
Are you ready, Dist?

Hotel Investigation + Mingling
Next he's checking out the lounge area to check the seats. Patting them down to see if anything useful has slipped between the cushions. Also what kind of locks are on the doors to the pool, spa, and food area?
After dinner, Dazai can be found in the Jazz Bar. He's standing behind the bar, mixing a drink. ]
What kind of drink are you feeling tonight?
[ Asking that of anyone who enters. Hello, he will be your bar tender for the night.
After he's done messing around, he will grab a bottle of top shelf vodka for himself and have a seat. There's three glasses in front of him as he waits for a certain someone. ]

investigation!
You can definitely catch him in the jazz bar, however. He's in here studying the selection of drinks, picking up things he doesn't recognize and setting aside things he seems to like. He's not going to be sampling anything, but he absolutely will take several bottles if he's not stopped because Iago has learned nothing from last week and looting is still perfectly acceptable.
Anyway, later on Iago will head to the science museum. He's avoiding the aquarium entirely, but you can find him just about anywhere else in the museum jotting down notes in a notebook. Sometimes he seems spaced out entirely, barely paying attention at all to whatever exhibit he's looking at, but other times he seems intensely focused on... whatever it is that has him so captivated today. It's probably the fossils, he's really interested in the fossils.
Of course, there's still the matter of investigating the lab, and Iago's hopefully learned enough about everything in there by now to prove useful. He's going to get started by looking for any notes previous researchers might have kept.]

Invest -- Edge of the fog
[Tracking down Ulquiorra doesn’t take long — Zangetsu knows his usual haunts by now. The rain has cleared up in favor of strong winds and that’s enough for the sword spirit to head out into the city. But before checking out the new additions, he has other plans. With his night vision goggles in tow, he skirts around the edge of town]
We’ll just follow along the fog until we find a dark building.
[no plans to trap today!! Just observe]
[Jazz Bar]
[after his lizard ventures, it’s time to check out the new stuff. The hotel is interesting, but mostly locked up. Something to mess with later, maybe. But the club is open and…
OOh.
A guitar.
Zangetsu can be found lazing about the club with an acoustic guitar and his fingers clad in icy claws, plucking tunelessly for the time being]

Look, there's liquor and a jukebox, it's close enough. He's claiming it.
Anyway, let's take a look around here before the place gets ransacked. Going to start off looking behind the bar before anyone can come in and ask him to make them something. Any notes or anything back here? ]

I think if we move a washer and dryer over to the opera house, then we can plug them in there and do some laundry. Anyone care to help me move a set? Gravitas is useless here, it would destroy the machinery.
[Regardless of whether that ends in success or failure, Ango will spend the afternoon taking a quick look around the new locations and jotting down some notes on them. It's not a full search, but more of a cursory glance to get a general idea of what the new locations are like. His notes are written in Japanese if anyone wants to peek.]
[Finally, in the evening, Ango can be found in the jazz bar with a bottle of whiskey and a cup by him. The bottle is missing about 1/4th of its contents at this point and it's unclear if Ango has been the only one to drink from it or not, but he certainly seems in a good enough mood for a conversation. He's even reaching behind the bar to grab a second glass for whoever shows up.]
No ice, but it tastes just fine.
[No slur to his speech, so he's probably just tipsy, not drunk. But he may be headed that way soon, he's showing no signs of stopping.]

after doing her laundry, raven can be found at the pool wearing one of the hotel's swimsuits. she's not really swimming, just kinda lounging around. she's sitting at the side of the pool, feet in the water, looking through her notes. her gunsword is also right next to her, in case anyone decides to try anything funny.
finally, raven heads to the botanic garden. she has no interest in plants unless they're vegetables of some kind, so...let's get a closer look at those. any food-based plants here in the garden? ]

He does consider the laundromat, but as there's no electricity there, that's a bust. After that, he goes to make himself some coffee, but if anyone approaches-- ]
Morning. Do you want a cup?
[ After that, he wanders for a while. He finds the greenhouse, and it's with a smile that he makes his way through it. ]
Colleen would love this place.
[ Moving on... of course, he finds the pool. Parts of the gym had been... difficult, but this? He can get behind this. Later on in the afternoon, then, that's where you can find him. You're welcome, everyone. ]

Pre-Motive
After Shin does wake up, he finds it's raining outside. Not good conditions to be moving the rest of his work in, clearly.
So he goes to the Opera House instead.
If you're also early, you might find him making himself a light breakfast in the Opera House Kitchen. If you arrive later, you'll find him seated in the foyer, listlessly waiting for the Lady and Rembrandt. ]
... Hm, I wonder what those two will try to tempt us with this time?
[ He's pondering to himself. Mostly. ]

investigation
After the incentive, though… Well, he's not seeming terribly bothered by the incentive today, actually. Usually he takes at least a little while to throw a fit somewhere, but today he doesn't seem too inclined. So this afternoon can find him in one of the gaudy as hell costumes from the opera house, sitting at that grand piano in the jazz bar. It's something familiar, and he can at least appreciate that much; he's proper nobility and all, he was taught how to play when he was younger, and for the time being it's something to do with his hands and so he's just kind of having a go at something that's...obviously classical but not something that can really be placed as being by a specific composer. Maybe it's something from his world, who knows. Either way, it's something to do that doesn't involve being out in the rain.
Once the rain dies down, though… Well, the botanical gardens probably aren't the most natural of places to go this late, but it's perpetual night here anyway so who cares. One of the greenhouses is locked, which is truly annoying, but he'll be looking around the unlocked one to see what's in there. The succulents are...cute? What the fuck are these things, they're so cute.
...And okay fine, he's gotten away without investigating this whole time, he might as well be useful. Is there any sign of whomever's been keeping these plants cultivated (are they cultivated? or are they just sorta doing their plant thing in here) or anything immediately amiss or attention-drawing?]

Investigation....? Who knows.
Now it's Tuesday and Mikami seems to have made some steps towards returning to his usual form of 'rigid and annoyed'.
Early in the day, you can find him in the Church, at marked distance from the confession booth. He's never had much to do with Christianity. What little religious affiliation had ruled his life had always been Shinto, and even then, Mikami preferred to stick to his own version of spirituality. His shrine visits had always been few and in between and faded away entirely in adulthood.
But now, he wants to embrace the calm of a place deemed holy, to simply think. With a shrine unavailable, the church is the next best thing and it is pretty quiet even despite the annoying knowledge of Rembrandt nearby. Mikami sits on a bench near the altar, opposite from the confession booth, and is quiet. For like. two hours. You're welcome to bother the man.
Later he's in the aquarium, checking out the scene of the latest crime that has been cleaned up now. Everything is nice and tidy, there's even water in the tank, but... ]
No fish... Is the supply of living things limited?
[ In the afternoon he can be found in the hotel lounge. He's brought a candle and he's looking through the shelves and game collections. Mostly, he's hoping to find a book without having to enter the Lady's domain, but he's also curious about general hidden clues.
In the evening, he'll be working out at the gym as usual. ]

Meeting - Dining Room
Welcome, welcome! Help yourselves to some food and have a seat.
[ Grabbing a tart for his own meal as he sits down in a chair. ]
The Museum looks pretty different at night, right? That was pretty cool learning about what sounds the T.Rex makes. If you want to know more about dinosaurs or want a guided tour, feel free to wait around until after the meeting.
Let's talk about anything new we have learned or we can discuss the motive if anyone wants. Oh! Before I forget, Rembrandt is going to hang with us for the meeting.
[ That last part might be why Dazai is trying to skip the dead talking to them via t.rex for the meeting. ]

Anyway. Between that and the ever-present hunger pangs, Seteth needs some goshdarned distractions, and he will find them in the form of heading up to the upstairs second stage in the opera house and doing lance drills before the meeting. There's more room for it than in the gym, and he'd really rather not accidentally stab someone, so there he is! He's not bothering with a shirt because between the sweat and the spikes he just doesn't wanna deal with a shirt while he's getting back on his lance drills. he needs an axe and a sword too but maybe this week he'll save up the skala? who knows!! kind of a shame about the weird back spikes because he's got a very nice bod. or maybe the spikes enhance it for you.
After finishing that and picking up one of those poofy pirate-y shirts and a loose jacket from backstage, he's going to head to the meeting, of course! But after that, he'll hit, uh, the McDonalds, because he may as well try out this weird future tavern. You can see him reading over the instructions and looking... for the food...? Where is the food. Is there food? There's something called "ranch dip," but presumably you dip something into that...
In the evening, he'll be in the gardens just... kind of staring at the pond. it's nice, and it feels less inherently strange than staring at the pool in the hotel. there's probably stuff under the water? probably. maybe there are frogs. ...it's probably too cold for frogs, but there might be frogs hibernating. and the lily pads are nice, anyhow.]

THURSDAY
WEATHER
High: 59°F (15°C)
Low: 40°F (4°C)]
SOMETHING HAPPENED
It's at the hotel. Right outside an hydrant was broken, thrown aside against the wall, water flowing from the pipe it was connected to, flooding the street until it all flowed down the sewer grates. Puddles of more water litter the place, bits of ice float on them like tiny icebergs. Not too far away, one of the storefronts shattered, revealing the empty interior. Glass shards are all over the floor, but there's also a few larger, bright crystals among them, like something else also shattered inside this place. The hotel's facade is wet, but there doesn't seem to be any blood or anything similar around here.
The hotel lobby was mercifully spared, the only sign something went through are wet puddles spread all over the place -- the footprints of someone with soaked feet running by. There are so many it's going to take ages to clean! They all lead towards the same door, a door people may be familiar with already: the pool's door.
There's a short hallway behind that door. Once you leave the lobby and walk into it, you see the doors towards the pool, closed. Water's leaking under the door, soaking the carpet, spreading like a miasma at ground level, more and more coming out. There's nothing to do but enter the pool and face the music.
It's pretty bad in here! Water has covered every part of the floor, and there's much more ice around here, stained with blood. Red blood and, strangely enough, a blue liquid of the same consistency are sprinkled on the floor, the water not doing much to wash it. The pool itself has a rather large chunk of ice, embedded into the wall so deep it breaks some of the piping of the pool, leaving it unusable -- not that you'd want to swim in it, due to all the toilet paper and book pages floating in it!
In other words: this pool area is a complete mess]
I am majorly disappointed.
[That's a voice you may be familiar with, amplified by a megaphone. It's the Lady, standing at a side with Rembrandt dutifully doing his job as her bodyguard. She looks so annoyed, glaring at everyone gathered. The Lady raises the megaphone, continuing her announcement:]
Apparently someone is so useless he can't even kill correctly! And now I have to stand here and ruin the fun by revealing this is pointless because although somebody died, the creatures were the killer here! What good is that?!
[She sighs]
It doesn't matter, anyway. What led to that was great. Don't worry, everyone, we have already taken care of body cleanup. It's sudden, but Pizza is no longer among you. Don't ask me who is to blame here, you don't need me to hold your hands. This is going to be simple.
Call me when someone dies by your hands, alright?
[With a last scornful glare, she turns off the megaphone and leaves the pool area, taking Rembrandt with her. There's not even an autopsy report, or any information from them. After all, the creatures were the culprits here.
With that, Pizza is dead]
