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.

[[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 speak with him fairly frequently and I still feel no closer to understanding him.

[check back in a couple of days after whatever the hell their current conversation is???? yikes.]

I'm going to see if I can learn anything more from him at some point this week, but I feel as though I've told him more about myself...

[his one weakness is that he likes to brag about himself okay!!!!!]

[ortion]

[Don't worry he would probably do the same thing with Rembrandt.]

Isn't he supposed to be giving you answers in exchange for the questions he asks you? A bit unfair for him to be vague after all you have likely said.

[psychophant]

I suspect he'd be more straightforward if he didn't have the Lady to consider. He is fair and allows another question if he can't answer mine at all, but it's frustrating nevertheless.

[Sigh!!!]

I'll tell you later about what I have learned.

[it's fine we just live in pc hell now i guess]

[ortion]

Fair enough...

[He doesn't seem convinced, though. Perhaps his conversations with the Lady have been different?

He gives a snowglobe an idle shake.]

I would like that, thank you. And I will do the same, of course.

[reanbeans]

[ He doubted he has anything helpful to contribute here, but... ]

...I've no idea of the man's powers, but he's a very particular and precise person, making him rather hard to please. I also made him tea once and he could tell that it had been oversteeped by ten seconds.

On the other side of things regarding his motivations, he's said to me that while he and the Lady do have an agreement—or rather, arrangement—that it doesn't mean that their desires line up perfectly.
