WEEK 5

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.]]

What's the worst crime you ever committed?

[ OKAY SO THAT'S NOT THE QUESTION THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASKED BUT... ]

Answer that and I may consider getting to know you.

We might be responsible for each other's fates. That will be the closest anyone has to ever getting to know me.

[ Just saying that in public. It's fine. ]

I have been complicit in murder, fraud, and extortion. But the worst crime I've committed was enabling others to walk the same hellish path.

I can't argue with that assessment. ...Complicit in murder or perpetrator of murder?

[ Normally this wouldn't matter but this place is hell on maybe-Earth and suddenly Mikami cares about vague shades of grey. Just a little. ]

Complicit.

[ That's what the charges say in the future when he gets arrested. ]

.... your body count is lower than...

[ ...mine. That's whispered under his breath because the knowledge is still fresh and also he's kind of drunk, but wow. Not that his kills are at all morally comparable except for one, but that's bad enough. Mikami doesn't regret anything but this is sure giving some perspective.

He quickly catches himself though.]


Seems like you're on a similar level of moral decay as most people in this awful place. Not that it makes you any less unforgivable.

cw: dazai stuff in the brackets

[ He's not going to confirm or deny that. Dazai has had a hand in over one hundred murders, but he wasn't the one pulling the trigger usually. Normally it was his men or his partner, which Dazai himself let the bullets fly around him while hoping maybe they wouldn't miss him. ]

I can tell you something even more unforgivable that I've done. [ Lowering his voice... ] I put hot peppers in Odasaku's food before.

[ Looks like srs sharing time is over. Largely because it is public. Best way to get people not to notice how serious you are is acting like a clown. ]

[ Okay that just gets a silent eyeroll. Serious time is over indeed, this was enough openness to communicating with the mafia for one night. ]
