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.]]

[Zangetsu takes one of the pieces and turns it sideways, like that might change things]

Huh. This seems... oddly specific.

[reanbeans]

[ Which one? ]

It does?

[moonfang]

The night time, the blue-eyed things in the shadows... So has this all happened before in this world? And this yin-yang thing in the center piece.... could it represent the "twilight"?

[reanbeans]

It's possible, especially if this was depicting a time in the past.

[ Though, he didn't know what it could mean. ]

...Maybe it is. If it is, though, it makes me wonder if that's how we'll find Twilight. By some kind of orb floating around.

[moonfang]

I wonder if this all started with a lunar eclipse or something. [he taps the red moon in the first picture]

Ain't got a clue... nor do I get the last one. Some kinda... resurrection?

[reanbeans]

It sounds like something out of the first chapter of Red Moon Rose, with there being a red moon and everything, so I don't doubt it could be connected.

[ Though Rean is sure this did not have anything to do with vampires. ]

...It really does look like it has something to do with resurrection. But I wonder why a bird?

[moonfang]

Beats me. [he frowns and sets the painting back down again] It seems like every time we find a new clue, it just makes more questions.

[reanbeans]

...unfortunately. Hopefully we'll find answers by looking around and locating something that's less abstract, though.

[ Which seems to be their only way to understand what's going on. He hopes it'd be less question-worthy next time, but he's sure that these paintings are important...somehow. ]
