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.]]

[ Dazai is suddenly blind.

Okay not really, but actually really for a few seconds. Eventually when he can see again, he'll notice that all the lights in the stadium are on, as well as the scoreboard with a scrolling marquee. It reads: ]

This is the Twilight. Please respond once you've seen this.

[deadlygoals]

[ HIS EYES HURT

blinking back tears but okay ... ... ... how do we respond? ]

Hello, Twilight! I can see you.

[pr159]

[ Ha ha. ]

Respond how?

[deadlygoals]

[ Wow... ]

They usually can hear if we talk normally.

[pr159]

That's... strange, actually.

[ I mean, the whole thing is, obviously, but. ]

[moonfang]

[it's hard to miss the bright lights of the stadium, even from a few blocks away at the arcade. Zangetsu makes a beeline]

Huh. Looks like they found a better communication method. 'Sup, Souls?

[deadlygoals]

Might not have any restrictions this time. Going to miss being able to tell them apart though.

[moonfang]

Yeah. That game they used last week still won't connect.

[umbralant]

[At Zangetsu's greeting, the scrolling text changes here!]

The Twilight is going to crumble in a week. Our damaged souls might not survive. Have you found anything useful about the lady's plans?

[deadlygoals]

A week... huh? We're still trying to find out what she's planning. We do know she's moving on soon. How's it going over there? Did you guys find anything out?

[ortion]

[Oh, well that's not good.

A new voice joins the discussion!]

What do you mean "crumble"? How are you certain of this?

[These questions might have some relevance to their question.]

[reanbeans]

[ Suddenly he felt really anxious. But he didn't know what to do. ]

...Not really.

I mean, we found these paintings, but it's been difficult making sense of them.

[umbralant]

[Aaaaand then another message comes at him a minute later.]

Steal art museum computer away from Rem. Hotel can be explored safely from here. Fire vision cant read, can see & hear. Read all text aloud.

[moonfang]

[so they can handle the hotel... good, because Zangetsu doesn't want to go anywhere near that death trap] The computer in the museum? Can do. But uh... what is "Fire vision"?

[deadlygoals]

Might be a good job for our thieves. [ Where is Erik anyways. ]

What did you guys find at the Hotel?

[reanbeans]

[ Small tears prick at his eyes because ow, but he's smiling. ]

...I can see this. And I've received it, Kyousuke.

Thank you for returning my sword.

[ At least he's assuming it was Hyobu??? He's the one who said he had his sword and now he has it back, sooo... ]

[umbralant]

[ Are you surprised the Marquee notices you just like the T-rex did, Rean? ]

Speaking of that sword Rean my darling I have a secret for you <3 If you look on the ceiling of the pool, you'll find something quite nice.

[reanbeans]

[ Kind of...! He probably shouldn't be.

But hey, he's sure that this person was Olivert judging by the 'my darling'. ]

Wait...right now?

[pr159]

[ Oh, right. ]

Who gave me these sunglasses?

[umbralant]

[After a bit, a message pops up that seems to be relevant to Rideaux...]

1 of the blobs on this side ate them. BTW y were you idiots fighting over something that will leave you w/ 1/2 a soul?! R U THAT hopeless?

[deadlygoals]

Is it your friend?

[ The one who loves <3's is Olivert, right? ]

[reanbeans]

...It looks like it is, actually.

[ He's happy either way, judging by the smile on his face. ]

[umbralant]

[ The marquee is scrolling again... ]

HI LOSRS DON'T GOT TIME TO ANSWER UR DUMB AF Qs ANSWER MINE INSTD: REAN DID U TEST TCHI? WRKS Y/N? DOES R'S PWRS COREPNDS WITH ANY1ELSE'S?

[deadlygoals]

Why do you need to know this?

[ Sup other ^_^ ]

Are you asking for other manifestation users? We still have a couple people being shy about their powers.

[reanbeans]

[ Oh my goddess, please ]

I tested it, but seeing as nothing happened when I was doing normal practice, I assume whatever you've done to it only activates if I used it on those creatures, judging by that note.

[ ...Though, like. Rean wasn't the type of person to randomly just attack whatever just to experiment. Aidios knows he didn't want their captors to be alerted to him causing trouble. ]

I think saving it for the right time to strike might be best for now. As for Rem's, it doesn't seem like it? If that's who you're asking about. According to what powers he's displayed and what's been mentioned at the meeting, anyway.
