WEEK 3

[umbralant]

WEEK 3

monday

tuesday

wednesday

thursday

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.]]

WEDNESDAY

[umbralant]

WEATHER

[umbralant]

[Overcast conditions continue for the day, with temperatures dipping below seasonal averages. The occasional glimpse of the waning moon shows that it is approaching its third quarter.
High: 31°F (-1°C)
Low: 14°F (-10°C)]

Meeting - Dining Room

[deadlygoals]

[ In the Dining Area at 12:30, they will find Dazai waiting front and center. Rean is around there as well, serving up some beef stew with veggies and strawberry tarts. ]

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. ]

[reanbeans]

Thank you for setting this up.

Also, I think it'll be good if we have the option of writing down information or giving it out by passing it along as notes to each other. In case some of us want to exchange information differently this time.

I've brought notebooks and pencils for anyone who doesn't have any or on them right now.

[ He's keeping a hold of them but he's prepared to hand some off to anyone who is actually in their group normally and not one of their captors. ]

[deadlygoals]

Oh, that would be good. In case anyone wants to share something anonymously.

[ Like if someone is acting sus and might be interested in the motive. ]

[psychophant]

[...are we just. going to pass notes while rembrandt is right here............]

I have a hard time believing Rembrandt won't want to look at whatever we're writing.

[twoasone]

Any particular reason you invited Rembrandt?

[deadlygoals]

He was curious about everyone.

[ Also the notes for the meetings are every where. ]

the guest of honor

[dominioned]

[ Rembrandt certainly is here alright, sitting in one of the seats located at the end of the table. He looks over all the food but opts not to take any. ]

Don't mind me.

[deadlygoals]

You should try some the tart. It's pretty good.

[twoasone]

[Too bad, he's eying Rembrandt curiously.]

You have rather strange morals, sir. Just last week, you mercilessly killed a young boy on the Lady's orders, and now you're sitting at our table because someone asked you to. Is that what you call chivalry?

[pr159]

[ eyebrow raise... ]

What a pleasant surprise.

[moonfang]

[judging by the look on Zangetsu's face, he minds. He minds a lot.

But he says nothing]

[bawcock]

[ Rembrandt... To be honest, he doesn't fault the guy here. If he was asked, it's only natural that he'd show up. Erik gives him a light, consolatory pat on the shoulder.

And then he's gonna say this. ]

Okay, friend. You've had your fun, now I think it's time for you to take your tarts and go.

[moonfang]

[Zangetsu looks at Rembrandt warily. He's got food, but isn't eating it with the usual "starving wild animal" gusto]

.... I did find some stuff out on Monday, but I ain't sayin' it with the Bitch's bootlicker here.

[drydrown]

Well! Thank you for rendering this utterly pointless and proving that we can't trust you worth a damn. Highly informative and deeply appreciated.

[Yeahno, fuck this shit, he's out.]

[baitless]

[...Seteth is sticking around out of a petty desire not to do the same thing Cumore did, but he’s really loathe to talk about anything actually important here, so he just awkwardly starts on a bowl of stew while trying to think of something to say...]

...so, how many different functional places to prepare food does this make now?

[...it’s not like they’re going to talk about anything actually important here, right...]

[inordertobelieve]

[ Mikami may not be leaving the meeting at the sight of Rembrandt, but he sure isn't saying anything either. He's eating beef stew and looking annoyed. ]

[notbymyside]

[WELL it's a good thing Dazai said that last part, because Ango does have things to share. But he'll hold off on that for now.]

Why is he here with us? Does he have something to share?

Meeting 2.0 (Without their Guest Star)

[deadlygoals]

[ Hopefully everyone manages to herd people back up after Dazai leaves, because he's going to be heading back in after heading to the Church.

Here he is. ]

That was pretty interesting.

[baitless]

[Well, that was all eventful as all get out yesterday, wasn't it? And not even in a bad way, either. Well, mostly not in a bad way. The idea of horrible soul-eating shadow monsters was bad enough when it was supposedly in another world he had nothing to do with outside of encountering people from there, but now it was... here. And fuck that, honestly, it was nice to know that his dead friends were around-ish, but... fuck the other stuff, really.

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.]

mcdonald's

[raventhaw]

[ she's also curious about the mcdonald's, given that the power turned back on here. though as for all the missing food, raven has an explanation. ]

A lot of the food was taken by Zangetsu last week. He took most of the frozen food, if I'm not mistaken.

[ god dammit zan. maybe there's more here somewhere; she didn't look thoroughly, after all. ]

opera house

[psychophant]

[...Well, Iago was going to do some investigating this morning, but it looks like he found something more useful!!! Hi, Seteth, hope you don't mind if he joins you and watches your lance-work.]

You seem to be very skilled. [Hmm...] Are you a Wyvern Rider?

[Seteth's profile did mention that as a skill...

And don't worry, he's definitely getting a good look at Seteth's new spikes, though he's not going to bring them up just yet.]

gardens

[pr159]

[ Really, Rideaux needs to bring Alfyn here with him at some point so he can get a proper briefing on the potential uses for all of these plants he doesn't recognize. But he's still wandering through to see what he can figure out on his own, anyway. Maybe if he grabs a few leaves to compare to some of the books in the library...

He's not particularly interested in the pond, but catching Seteth staring into it makes him wonder if there's something going on, so he'll come take a look. (Anyway, he ought to follow up on his... changes by now.) ]

Something in there?

Mc Donalds

[puperoni]

[ Looking at the ranch dip. ]

Be careful what you mix that with.
