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.]]

[That touch may be nice, but it makes the guilt even worse.]

I did say I wanted to do cards for you next, didn't I?

[His heart isn't quite as into it when he shuffles the cards and gets the emperor first.]

Ah. A fitting card for a mafia executive as yourself. I think you can guess what this card means about you.

[deadlygoals]

[ If Dazai could read the description, it would bring someone else to mind. But since he can't, he'll go with what he thinks it could mean. ]

It looks pretty serious~ Like someone in control?

[ Sorry friendo ]

[notbymyside]

That is pretty apt. The card represents 'authority'.

[Do de doo, two of pentacles!]

And this one is all about finding balance, specifically between two ideas. If you have two things weighing heavily on your mind, then it means you're supposed to find a way to fulfill both at the same time. No overindulgence in one side, strive to meet both equally.

[For a moment, he thinks back to the bar and their little trio there. Dazai, Ango, and Odasaku. Dazai balancing his affection for both Odasaku and Ango.

That makes his heart feel heavy, because he knows how that story turns out.]

[deadlygoals]

[ He can think about what's happening in his own world, as well as what's happening here. There's no way he can do that now... in either case. ]

A balancing act, huh?

[ Looking at the card for a moment. ]

I don't know about that. I do like overindulging.

1/2

[notbymyside]

You have to balance that with work, Dazai-kun.

[He's smiling as he reaches for that last card-]

2/3 I lied

[notbymyside]

[But that smile instantly falls away when he sees the five of cups.]

[notbymyside]

...

I-

[Sorry Dazai, he's just. Getting up from the table and leaving now.]

[deadlygoals]

[ He's about to joke some more, until Ango makes that face. Then he's getting up. Dazai's hand shoots up to reach for the other, but it's a moment too late. Ango is already leaving.

Then he looks at the card. It looks like they are wearing a funeral shroud.

He'll flip it back over, deciding not to look it up just this once. ]
