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.]]

[He's accepting of Iago's response to the gold lipstick though. He makes a fine point...gold might not show up as well on paler skin. Something with more contrast works better! So he sets it back and pulls out a couple more purple shades...]
I see we share a color preference! I commend your exquisite taste.
[Cumore wears purple too, so...there is totally gonna be a fight to divvy them all up isn't there.
With his lipstick picked out, he gets in front of a nearby mirror to apply it.]
Ugh, finally. I am finally starting to feel complete again! This is truly what we needed.
no subject
I'm not even slightly surprised by that at this point. Your taste has always been excellent.
[match made in hell tbh]
I'm in agreement, of course. I can finally do something about my nails as well.
[Give him a moment and he'll borrow that mirror as well, applying the black lipstick and some of that eyeliner he found. Gods, he feels like a person again.]
Oh, that's much better. [And his hair is still looking great too, so wow!! Probably the most attractive he's ever been.] Help me pick out a color for my nails.
[There's so much nail polish too?? He trusts Dist's judgement and he's less picky about nail polish colors, so please pick something out!!]
no subject
Hmmm. [He starts poking through the nail polish selection.] This is a difficult one for me! I have always settled for a clear coat since I almost always keep my hands covered.
[The only time he has taken his gloves off is for trial inspections.]
Perhaps you could try gold for your nails? You may end up with more contrast there.
[Plus he just found a gold shade that has a chrome-like finish. It should go well with Iago's mask.]
no subject
I only had a few options back home, and I went through them routinely. The amount of choices here are almost staggering, however...
[Oh, but that looks great! He'll take that, looking it over in approval.]
Nothing I had was quite this shade or this shiny either. This one is excellent, thank you, Dist.
[He'll apply it later, but that's definitely one he's taking!!]
You have my thanks. We certainly did get quite lucky with this store.
no subject
He gives another little bow, pleased that his efforts were appreciated.]
Yes we did! This is a store that I plan to return to. And I would be honored to open you up to more styles that Nohr was apparently terribly lacking.
[At least Iago did well with what he had.]
Imagine what you might look like in beautiful shades of rose red...!
no subject
I would appreciate your assistance. I've always had a preference for looser clothes, but these look incredible.
[Dist's eye for fashion coupled with his own natural beauty?? Perfection.]
I am quite fond of red, so perhaps I'd like to see what you can do with that as well. While I do prefer dark colors, I'm open to experimenting. As always, what would I do without you?
[...well of course there's going to be at least a little teasing, can't stop won't stop!!]
no subject
Oh come now. You held your own just fine until you met me, didn't you? The foundation was already there.
no subject
Mm, that's certainly true enough. I did have to deal with all sorts of nonsense to get to where I am now, so I suppose I would have found some way to continue on.
But your presence here certainly does make all of this much easier, you know.
[It's said in a light, joking tone, but it... really isn't a joke...]
no subject
I- I thought we were speaking of your efforts in fashion...
[But then Iago had to take it somewhere else entirely?!]
That said...I agree. My life was rather solitary before the Lady brought us here. But I have very much enjoyed getting to know you and the others.
[Some more than others, obviously.]
no subject
[merciless teasing objective complete!!!]
I would like to hear more about your life before arriving here at some point, but we can always talk about that later. For now... we do still have quite a few outfits to put together.
no subject
Perhaps I may tell you more when you visit me next.
[In other words, that's definitely a PC conversation too.]
In the meantime, I hope you are ready for some red, because I absolutely want to see you in it now. Here, take this lipstick...
[They're going to be here for hours, good god.]
