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.]]

Hehehe. Maybe yer the kind of guy I need to listen to, then. You got any ideas, Mr. Tactician?

Ideally, I'm the sort of person everyone would listen to. [not that he's bitter about that or anything!!!] I do have some ideas, but nothing that I'm confident in just yet. For now the most we can really do is continue exploring and learning everything we can about our surroundings and about our captors.
moonfang: (casual I guess?)

Well... I ain't the best at stuff like that... but if it'll give me somethin' productive to do, then I'll do it.

You don't have to be the best. Every little bit helps, and considering we all have vastly different backgrounds and experiences, something you might find could be something the rest of us would miss.

... So far all I've done is gotten more and more confused and frustrated. [he sighs] I thought I could adapt and conquer, but I really am just a fish outta water.

[...]

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.
moonfang: (winning smirk)

.....

[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.

Sometimes it helps to hear a reminder.

I trust you'll do what you can for us, Zangetsu?
moonfang: (Feel the hollowness inside of your heart)

Hehehe! You can count on me to do my best, whether it's annoyin' the Lady to death or finding new info.

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-01-31 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Excellent, I'm pleased to hear it. I'll be looking forward to hearing what you find - or if you do succeed in annoying the Lady to death.
