antumbrac | WEEK 4

WEEK 4

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.]]

...Very few of us are teenagers, you know.

[HE IS TRYING VERY HARD TO WALLFLOWER AWAY FROM THIS]

[ Just going to go over to Seteth and gesture at him. ]

Here's Seteth!

[ Come rate the DILF ]

...I... please, let's not.

[HE WANTS TO MELT INTO THE WALL....]

Not bad. Just give it up on the "twenty-six" thing.

...alright, fine, I'll try and figure out something more appropriate. I... suppose thirty-something makes more sense chronologically...

There you go.

...it's going to be tough to keep track of, but I suppose I'll just... deal with it...

Just add ten and it won't be that hard to remember. You can look like an impressively young thirty-six.

...

But wait, would it be suspicious to have a seventeen-year-old sister, then...?

[....does flayn look seventeen, he doesn't know, the students are all over the place, somehow petra was fifteen]

Unless you were going around and announcing your supposed age to everyone you encountered, it probably already looked suspicious from a distance. Say she's a half-sister and it will be at least slightly more believable.

...

I thought we were being subtle and convincing...

Agreeing on the 'give up on being 26' thing. Your beard makes you look like you're in your 30s at the very youngest.

Exactly!

...well, I'm not shaving it, so I'll go ahead and shift things up a bit, then. It's easier to keep track of if I just cut the first two digits off, though...

[ He looked pretty thoughtful. ]

I don't think you need to be a teenager to be attractive or play along, though.

For the record, I think you look good for your age?

[ Definitely did not look like a twenty-six year old person, evidently. ]

It seems like the sort of thing young people back home would play...

...

But... well... thank you, I suppose...

Haha, not only just young people. I know Randy would have a field day with a game like this.

[ Not that he was saying Randy was old, but the man was certainly in his mid-twenties, so definitely not a teenager. ]

It's really no problem.

...

Actually, you are not incorrect. I know someone who would absolutely get far too into this...

[and drink all the booze... and cause a scene........]

...You've got a friend like that too?

[ Because he's sure Randy might have gotten really into this. A lot. ]

[looks seteth dead in the eyes and with a completely straight face:] Nine.

...

I... really never know how to respond to this... thank you...?

And even the ones that are, aren't too keen on playing.

[ Sigh!! ] Do you want to hear my answer?

Well, I heard plenty of other answers, so if you feel like giving one, I won't complain...

[ Wow, he's so enthusiastic... Honestly, Seteth's had a hard time so he almost wants to give him a pity "hot" but also.

Seteth would probably have an ulcer if he did. ] It's... a not. Sorry.

[ Rubbing the back of his head aggressively!! ] But for what it's worth, I think you could pass for twenty-six.

Well, that's fine. It's honestly nice to know that I'm not completely the center of attention in that regard...

...

And, well, thank you for that.
