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.]]

[thank you for not questioning his looting for once!!]

Do they? Fascinating... Well, let's see if they are blastia, shall we?

[He'll come back to examine the place properly later, but for now, stealing!!]

[notbymyside]

I see. Then I look forward to seeing how 'enhancing' it can be.

[psychophant]

Fair enough, I can see where it would cause problems. It seems quite a few people here have secrets they would rather not have anyone find out back home.

[...Seteth, he's talking about Seteth.]

[drydrown]

[...WELL YES, OBVIOUSLY, STEALING, BUT]

...Do you really think they would allow me to have access to something like that so easily?

[like, awesome if true, but]

[drydrown]

I don't intend to disappoint in that regard.

[can he have the damn thing now]

Alfyn + Rideaux will respond!

[apothecares]

[Hello unfortunate denizens of Krakow! Considering how long everyone has been here, there are high odds you've had to shower. The odds are also high that you've had to go to Cumore for shower supplies, at an exuberant price.

Well fear not, friends! Come Monday morning, some healthy business competition has finished starting up! In the dining room an area has been set up-- several bottles sit lined up on the table, coordinated by their labels. Near the table legs, boxes sit on the floor with more of the matching bottles sitting inside. Alfyn and Rideaux are sitting behind the table, ready offer or explain what the different mixes are.

Above it all, a simple but neat sign: Sʜᴀᴍᴘᴏᴏ, Cᴏɴᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴᴇʀ & Mᴏɪsᴛᴜʀɪᴢᴇʀ.]

[psychophant]

Oh no, certainly not... but I doubt they'd function here anyway, so you never know. Maybe the Lady wants to remind you of home.

[Alright, handwaved looting complete!! Where do you want to head to?]

[drydrown]

[Somewhere with lights. So that leaves either the opera house, the science lab/museum...place, or the...goddamn McDonald's, I'm pretty sure. Pick your poison.]

[psychophant]

[.........we are not doing this at the McDonald's. The opera house is closest, so let's head there!!]

[drydrown]

[Have fun, boys, he's already gotten what he wants.]

[drydrown]

[Sounds good, not least of which because the McDonald's is weird. We're probably least likely to be bothered on that second stage level, so let's just...do that there, shall we?

...How much of the store did we bring. Am I going to need to apologize to the mods on the location changes page again.]

[apothecares]

[Thanks!!! :D ]

[psychophant]

[...yeah we probably owe an apology to the mods, oops. but listen, they were there so how were we supposed to resist stealing them????

Anyway, yes! Second stage level of the opera house, here we are. Let's get a better look at these.]

What do you think? Are any of them blastia?

[pr159]

[ if there's a sign explaining this he hasn't seen it ]

What, is there some superstition about spending your life with whoever you cross it with or something?

[ what's with the locks ]

[umbralant]

[ Embrace the rainbow, Iago.

Ranging in several unique colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple), each stone represents a different chakra which corresponds to a different area on the body, at least according to the handy pamphlet next to the stones. Using them can apparently stimulate their respective chakra, if you believe in such a thing. ]

[pr159]

[ Really, because that aging skin says otherwise. ]

[psychophant]

[Sounds fake, but he'll take the pamphlet when he snags the stones!! I can't wait for this to come back and bite him somehow. Anyway!! Is there anything else interesting to note about the stones or anything else displayed over here?]

[drydrown]

[oh my god LET ME GO APOLOGIZE TO THE MODS

But in the meantime, uh. Crystals. He is here to get a better look at these.]

Blastia usually have some sort of inscription inside them that isn't always visible. I think that's how we know what they're supposed to do.

[Ugh...]

This would be easier if we had some way to activate them properly, but I doubt she'll let me anywhere near anything of the sort.

[psychophant]

[TY DAL I'M SORRY ABOUT IAGO]

How do you usually go about activating them?

[drydrown]

[projection ain't cute, sweetheart]

[drydrown]

[...does he look like a fucking scientist to you.]

You need something specifically made for them. These would just be the cores... Far more valuable than the casing, but the casing is necessary for them to work. Otherwise they're just pretty rocks.

[pr159]

[ Neither are you. ]

[psychophant]

[well how is he supposed to learn all about your world's technology if you aren't one???]

Ah, I see. I doubt the Lady would provide anything to create the casing. Well, I suppose we'll just have to hang onto them in case it turns out that they are blastia cores.

[yes this is absolutely an acceptable reason to keep them all, it's not because we like shiny rocks.]

[drydrown]

Yes, of course.

[goddddd.]

Alexei would have a better idea of whether they are or not in the first place. Why can't he ever be around when he would actually be useful?

[pr159]

That's certainly fair. And probably for the best, honestly.

[ He's pretty sure that most of them outside of his little Teen Girl Squad would take anything over his preferred style, so at least that works out well for everyone. ]
