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.]]

[...]

I... see...

[HE DID NOT ASK TO BE CALLED OUT LIKE THIS TODAY, THANKS!!!!!]

Well, you certainly are good at coming up with these! I'm sure the others are enjoying your fortune telling skills as well.

[THANKS, HE HATES IT]

It came with a guidebook too. Memorizing that certainly helped a lot.

[Yes he memorized like 100 pages of nonsense, don't judge him.]

Though the booklet did also say that this is all just guidance, and that your choices are your own. So there's that at least?

Oh, of course, I don't seriously believe any of it.

[which is exactly why he's going to leave this party and go straight to the tarot store to pick up a deck and learn how to do this himself, but shhhh]

Still, I must admire your dedication to memorize so much information in such a short amount of time. I hope your other readings have been equally fun.

["""fun"""]

Right, it's all just a parlor trick for fun anyway.

[yep. It totally is.]

Some were, but it would be much more fun if I could stack the deck and draw the cards I want to show. I might have to find a way to subtly mark the cards.

Oh, you should do that. Creating the perfect set in advance would be wonderful. If you do any future readings of the sort, I would certainly like to hear them.

That might actually be interesting to try on the Lady, but I think she would kill me for stacking the deck.

It certainly could irritate her that badly... I wonder what she thinks of this sort of thing, though.

[Considering what he found (or rather, didn't find) in the tarot shop... hmm.]

If you have any insight into that, I would appreciate it.

The most I've been able to get from either of them is that she apparently did practice magic at least once, according to Rembrandt. I assume that whatever she attempted to do went poorly. I did find something that supports that idea, but I plan to share it at the meeting anyway, if you can wait until then.

Alright. Tarot readings for the lady will wait until after the meeting too, then.

Of course. I do wish you the best of luck if you end up deciding to do one for her.
