WEEK 3

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.]]

Investigation

[umbralant]

[The plants do seem to be pretty well taken care of, because all of them seem to be doing really well, with none of them being very obviously wilted or dying or anything. There's also no obvious signs of overgrowth or the paths being taken over by plants or anything, so needless to say someone's probably looking after things here. Furthermore, one thing that Cumore would have noticed the moment he stepped inside is that the greenhouse is actually... pretty warm despite the rest of Krakow out there being fairly chilly for the most part. Good thing, because those poor succulents would probably be in trouble otherwise??

There's also another area of the greenhouse that's sectioned off by more glass walls and a door, so there's also that to check out, although the moisture beading on the inside of that space probably tells you a little something about the climate in there.]

[I mean

gross? it tells him it's probably gross in there.

That said, though, he will be very content looking at the succulents because at least it's not cold in here; it's good that this place is at least being taken care of, he supposes. But all right, he'll move eventually to see what's in the back over there. Behind the...more glass and the door. How humid is it in there. Is his hair going to wilt.]

[umbralant]

[It's. Pretty damn humid, his hair will be the one wilting in place of the plants. It's clear that his is where all the truly tropical species have been growing, and there tons of exotic plants like ferns, palms and even food crops like pineapple, cocoa and coffee plants growing neatly in their allotted spaces. The visitors' plaques also make it clear that some medicinal species are available too, if one knows where to look.

But probably most apparent is that a section of the plants look pretty wet, with water droplets still clinging solidly to the leaves and any fruits the plants may have.]

[drydrown]

[Like they've been watered extremely recently, or like somebody just went "fuck these plants in particular" and saturated them for some reason? Are they a particular kind of plant, like all the medicinal ones are soaked for example, or is it just random?]

[umbralant]

[It's definitely more like they were watered recently! None of them are wilting, and there's nothing really specific about the types of plants affected besides them being in the same general vicinity.

...But speaking of which.

Cumore may hear a quiet little click somewhere in the room before being followed by the sound of lightly spraying water. If he's lucky, he'll be out of range of the activated sprinklers, but if he's not, then his bad hair day is probably going to get a lot worse. But either way, that probably answers something??]

[drydrown]

[Today he is being introduced to the concept of sprinklers. Excellent. Thankfully they aren't exactly rocket science to figure out.

Assuming the sprinklers are the sort that are doing this from on high, it'll at least get him to look up; how's everything looking up there?]

Sorry for missing this!

[umbralant]

[Everything's looking fine, actually! There isn't any kind of broken piping that indicates that the sprinklers decided to just let loose on their own, and they will turn off after a minute or so. Indeed, it just seems to be a regular old watering going on here.]
