WEEK 4

WEEK 4

monday

tuesday

wednesday

thursday

Last week could probably only be summed up as a mess. Three people died, one was turned to currency and the hotel pool remains in a general state of unusability unless swimming in pulpy mush is someone’s idea of a good time. And that’s not even counting the haunted morse code T-Rex. At least the greenhouse is as relaxing as ever, even if someone seems to have made off with a number of succulents and cacti.

But with the new week comes a new set of locations to explore as the fog retreats to reveal another portion of the city. The half moon wanes to a new moon this week, leaving streets even dimmer this week -- hopefully you have some other portable sources of light available if you plan on straying too far beyond the reach of the lampposts in the new areas.

[[Welcome to Week 4! Note that new areas have been added, and can be found under the Week 4 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.]]

[ Don't come near him, corpse eater! But also, kind of counterproductively... ]

I haven't been accused of that in a long time...

[notbymyside]

Given the appearances of K and M specifically, I don't think it can be coincidence. These letters we're finding in different places, I think they're the same people.
'K' being one, and 'Mikolaj' being the other.

[notbymyside]

[Ango reads the note, and then his eyes narrow a bit. Yeah. that sure is a thing right there.]

If she intends on leaving the body she's in now, then that would be the time to catch her. What are the odds that she intends to use one of us as her next body, you think?

[He's also going to throw a glance in Dazai's direction. He has Ideas on how to stop this, but they rely on him.]

[moonfang]

[moonfang]

[it's dumb because Mikami is kind of anything BUT scrawny...]

Well, I guess you work out or whatever, but that just makes ya stringy, I'd bet.

[inordertobelieve]

I'm not sure it fits with the implications on the padlock. In 2012, Michalski appears to have been comatose for a while, according to his lover.

Items in the gym lockers get cleared out after a month, so Michalski should have been alive and using the facility about a month before the catastrophe swept this town.

[psychophant]

That is interesting. It could just be a coincidence, but we can't rule out that it's deliberate just yet. I suppose we'll have a better idea if any of them turn up dead.

[nice people saying wonderful things.........]

[bawcock]

[ Following his gaze but doesn't get it. Meanwhile, he looks at Zangetsu after cause he's the g-ghost. Maybe he has some insight here on the how's. ]

My guess is? Probably pretty high. The only other person around here is Rembrandt anyway, and I don't think he'd be all that willing to play host for her.

[reanbeans]

No. You can put a little in a cup and try some that way, but if you lick the spoon the lessons end immediately.

[ Have you heard of proper food handling, Dazai... ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Meeting his look. He can already figure out what Ango is thinking about. The issue is... there is only one known way for that so far. ]

[notbymyside]

If the Lady can possess bodies, then who's saying Michalski didn't get possessed at some point after the note in 2012?

[reanbeans]

[ He'll nod in acknowledgement to those words. ]

Still, you deserve an acknowledgement of a good job out there, Erik. I really do appreciate what you've done.

...That letter is the most obvious concerning thing. And we'll probably be needing to find a way to combat that ability of hers sooner than later.

[moonfang]

That would be a good time, but we'd need someone with the ability ta interact with spirits. Ergo, I need my powers back. [he grumbles. So many things would be so much easier if he had his powers!] Hell, if I had them, I could force her out!

[notbymyside]

Knowing that, we could entice her into a trap. We could make one of ourselves look particularly enticing, and then everyone else could stage an attack at the moment of transfer.

[moonfang]

Especially if that person was in a coma. Most'a the time, comatose people's souls are hangin' around, but not connected to their bodies no more.

[notbymyside]

[There is, and it's another problem entirely that they'll have to solve if they go with that method. Which might make it less ideal than other methods.

But yeah Ango won't talk about Dazai's canon powers, Dazai can bring them up if he wants to. Instead:]

If we get our original powers back, I will be able to get every bit of information we need on the Lady. Her name, the way to defeat her, and so on.

[pr159]

[ he knows which one he's rooting for!!! ]

I wonder how much longer this is intended to go on, actually.

[notbymyside]

Actually, is it possible for the soul of the body that the Lady is in to be spending time in the Twilight? She might have some insight for us, if we can find her.

[inordertobelieve]

And then went to the gym, with his ID and normal gym clothes?

I'm not knowledgeable about possession, but it feels like an odd course of action to just keep up in this scenario.

[reanbeans]

[ Nuts, he was getting too excited about that previous move... ]

My mother, she's...kind beyond measure and all the same, she can be stern when she needs to. She's done so much for me as well, that I don't think I can put into mere words how thankful I am to her for her part in taking care of me as a somewhat new part of the family.

My sister is incredibly loyal, studious, intelligent, and capable in her own way too. I'm proud to be her older brother, really. And she's also been there to have my back when I needed it, that's the kind of person she is.

[moonfang]

I wish I knew more about how this world's afterlife works, but... it does seem like this "Twilight" place is a holding place for Souls. She could very well be there! What we really need is a reliable way to chat with the dead.

[moonfang]

Well, that would depend on if they were tryin' to blend in until they made their move.

[deadlygoals]

Maybe we can have her body help us out. If we find out who she is, then maybe we can wake her up.

[reanbeans]

[ It really was. ]

I'd wonder if you were just saying that because of the spread looking admittedly really bad so far...but if that's true, then that'd be an interesting reading.

I did just turn 20 not too long ago.

[notbymyside]

Maybe we can convince them to take over the T-rex again.
