WEEK 5

WEEK 5

monday

tuesday

wednesday

thursday

Was what happened on Friday yet another tragedy in a string of them or just a complete shitshow? Well, regardless of which line of thought you subscribe to, the reality of it is that another three of your number are no longer in this realm with you. At least the remains of what had happened last week have been neatly cleaned up as always, even if that might not change what’s been etched in your memories. The drum set in the jazz bar remains busted though, because the masterminds aren't that generous. At least the tarot shop and boutique remain fine even if the vanished crystals and women's clothing aren't going to be restocked.

But either way, it’s a new week, and that means new locations to explore as the fog gives way to more of the city and its lamplit streets. The new moon waxes to half this week, appearing as a crescent moon for most of the week. It's far from optimistic, but maybe the brightening is a sign that this will be over soon...? Or maybe it just means the worst is yet to come, it's hard to say.

Never Have I Ever Been Unable To Get Up At 5AM Here

[reanbeans]

[ Okay let's goooooo he's giving it a try. ]

[inordertobelieve]

Does it count if you've never set your goals on 5am to start with?

[ There was hardly a reason to, with how little has been going on outside of murder. ]

[pr159]

That's my question. The premise seems to assume we've tried to do that, and why would we?

[reanbeans]

[ ...He'll look sheepish. ]

I'll say it counts, just to make it easier.

[inordertobelieve]

[ Well, time to take a sip here even if it hurts his pride. He is GOOD at getting up early. ]

[pr159]

[ Well, he has gotten up that early without trying a few times, so he's going to skip it. ]

[deadlygoals]

You need to sleep in.

[ But he's going to take a drink because he either sleeps in past that or he skips sleep altogether. ]

[reanbeans]

I think the one time I tried that back home, it ended up not going very well.

[ Thanks, Millium... ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Reaching over to just give him a hair ruffle. ]

If you would like some help there...

[ He honestly means to keep people from waking Rean up and not anything less than innocent here. ]

[drydrown]

[Routinely Up At Absurd Hours Of The Morning, represent.]

[ortion]

[This night owl is forced to drink...especially since he has nothing forcing him to get up at 5AM here.]

[notbymyside]

[Yep he's drinking.]

I'm only drinking once total, not once per instance.

[reanbeans]

...That's fine with me.

[psychophant]

Five is just unreasonable...

[6AM is so much better!!! So yeah, he's drinking too.]

[reanbeans]

[ He'll smile sheepishly, but hey look he got a good amount of people to drink. He's happy he did good in the game, even if a little! ]

[galrarm]

[ bad sleep schedules let's gooooo ]

[moonfang]

pfftt. Like anyone knows what fuckin' time it is.

[reanbeans]

Haha, well...I think I'm fairly sure I'm within the minority.

[ And that's why he picked it, hoping people would drink. ]

[bawcock]

What if you were already awake?

[reanbeans]

[ Pause....hmm.

Things he didn't think of, but he'll give Erik a small, sheepish smile. ]

...I think you'll get a pass, then? I really didn't account for that at all.

I didn't know you were an earlier riser than I was.

[bawcock]

Hey, can't account for everything. And you wouldn't want to anyway—as much as this game is about tricking other people into drinking, it's also about having fun.

[ Plus, if people are so busy thinking of contingencies they're probably not enjoying themselves. ]

[reanbeans]

Haha, that's true. I hope everyone else's able to remember that on their sixth sip of their drink, though.

[ It's stated with a soft undercurrent of amusement. Rean expected that things would go well with this game—it had last time. What's the worry? ]

[bawcock]

By then, I doubt half these guys will be using full sentences! A couple of them look like they've never had a drop of alcohol in their life.

[ Not blaming them 'cause you do you, but also. Like. Looks like a lot of light-weights, tbh. ]

[reanbeans]

It does seem like some people might not really be so used to drinking so much.

[ Like, let's say Mikami. ]

I'm guessing you don't count in that group, though?

[ From the way he was talking, he sounds like he might have been more used to holding his liquor. Plus he didn't look like he was going to keel over. ]

[bawcock]

[ Pausing. What to say to that... ]

I'm... from a cold place. I don't know if it actually works or anything, but on cold nights when there wasn't enough heat to go around, it'd sometimes help to take a swig or two to warm up.
