WEEK 5

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.

[[Welcome to Week 5! Note that new areas have been added, and can be found under the Week 5 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 wish I had.

[ And that's just the constant mood in this horrible midnight town, but that's another matter entirely. ]

No, I'm thinking about whether or not it'd be possible to melt some of this down to create our own ammunition.

That's right. You'd mentioned firearms to me last week.

[ making one's own ammunition isn't unheard of, but she can't say she's ever done it herself. ]

Is this a sign that you haven't given up?

Yes, certainly. What comes after this place is its own question, but for as long as we are here, I fully intend to survive and see to it that the Lady is stopped one way or another.

[ And at this point if the 'another' involves many many bullets? That'd be fine too, like... it just would need to work. ]

Good. I'll admit, I wasn't sure after your admission at the previous trial.

[ how sad is that, to have nothing to return to? nothing to go back home to? ]

Normally I wouldn't say this, but we really do need as large of an arsenal as we can get. The more people left standing at the end of this the better.

My personal circumstances are fairly irrelevant to the threat we're facing here. I may have said and meant that I don't have anything left in my world, but that doesn't mean that I feel any less duty-bound here.

It's those convictions all of you keep harping on.

I've kept my mouth shut about those for quite a while, now. There's no point in provocation when we already have a bunch of self-sacrificial idiots stepping up to the plate to take these hints.

[ she says it with bitterness, a bit of resentment. it's clear she's not happy about it for one reason or another. ]

As long as your convictions are continuing to make you stay relevant and helpful, I couldn't care less about what they are anymore.
