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.]]

[Though admittedly there's no guarantee those will even work on her, since they're her doing in the first place...
Anyway.]
What happened the first time?
no subject
[he is so salty.]
I was broken in my released state. Usually that would mean Ichigo would just... not have a Zanpakutou ever again. But he's sort of a special case. My sword form had originally just been manifested from pure spirit energy, and not forged from a base like most Zanapakutou are. ... I ain't sure it'd work a second time. Would I still be "Zangetsu"? Would it be someone else...?
[what happens when you seal the power of someone who IS power?]

It sounds horrible. Even if you would still exist in some form, it might not be you.
[...and that hits a little too close to a conversation he had with Pizza, and he'd greatly prefer not to think about that—]
This topic is a bit depressing, though. What brings you to the aquarium today?
no subject
Ah. I just like to watch the fish. They're just doing their own little thing, following their instincts without a care for any of this nonsense. It's peaceful.

[He sounds so disappointed!!!!]
Zoos? What are those?

Really? We don't have anything of the sort. I know of some nobles that collect exotic animals, but displaying them for everyone to see like that sounds so strange...
[it's like a museum of living things!!! wild.]
no subject
Yeah, ain't quite the same. Animals in zoos aren't really pets. Sometimes zoos even help repopulate animal species that are rare or endangered. ... but then some other zoos are pretty much just dumps with cages. Depends on the place.

[Not that he sounds bothered by that at all!!]

I think we all are, in a way. Not to the same extent, certainly, but this place has dragged us from our homes and ripped our powers away. All we can really do is look for answers and wait.
[Or murder someone and try to get away with it.]
It isn't going to be easy to keep moving forward, but that's really all we can do right now. You don't seem like the sort of person to give up, no matter how bleak the situation may seem.
no subject
[Abandon your fear. Look forward. Move forward and never stop. You'll age if you pull back. You'll die if you hesitate.]
Keep moving forward, huh? That's my line, Mr. Tactician.
[he laces his fingers together and stretches his arms out, popping his joints as he does so]
... But I guess I needed to hear it from someone else.

I trust you'll do what you can for us, Zangetsu?
