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.]]

[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.]

[umbralant]

[After a small pause--]

Our ally here warned us. Also said cracks were forming in the day. Have you found ANYTHING on your side we all should know about?

[ortion]

["Ally"...?]

This...may be related to your powering parts of Krakow. The Lady considers it some kind of residual energy seeping in from an outside source. She couldn't be certain if it was a finite source.

[psychophant]

Who is this "ally"?

[Hi yes, he's here now and everyone else seems to have info covered so he'll ask about the important thing here.]

[drydrown]

[Oh, lord, he hates talking to you people- ]

The Lady is likely going to be finished with whatever she's doing after this week is over. We had another fun little incentive given to us yesterday. She said this is the last bit she needs to ensure success.

[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]

[After a bit, there's a change in the text.]

Describe the paintings. Are they like the ones I found in the art studio weeks ago? Artist/s names? TY for taking care of my work, Qmore - S

[reanbeans]

[ Oh. You.

Rean will maintain a professional face at least. ]

...Well, basically...

[ He'll describe this. Sorry for suddenly fading to black text but tired. ]

...and that's the whole story behind 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]

That's how they see us. Through a flame.

[moonfang]

Ohh... so it's like a portal between our version of this world and theirs. [he pauses to think about it. That's different than how he's used to, that's for sure] So any important info, we should read aloud.

[umbralant]

[Thank goodness Dazai explains because this response may or may not be the best explanation.]

All meetings & all of you visible. She/Rem not always visible. Rem & blues connected to electric/maybe each other. Twilight shouldnt exist.

[raventhaw]

And why shouldn’t twilight exist?

[moonfang]

Shouldn't exist... and is collapsing in a week. Sheesh. Talk about narrow deadlines... but don't worry, we'll figure something out. [he pauses, then;] Speakin' of electricity and shit, do you guys know anything about what's going on down in the subway tunnels?

[deadlygoals]

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

What did you guys find at the Hotel?

[bawcock]

[ Right over here!! Reading and listening intently. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ GESTURES AT HIM ]

There we go. We have our volunteers for the computer heist.

[umbralant]

[This message doesn't wait for Erik, but maybe it'll stay there long enough for him to see anyways??]

Hotel not yet. Search spa maybe connected to her. Night sealed/too long/blues too many/building up. Night/Day cycle 100s years, now faster.

[deadlygoals]

Should we break open the hotel for you?

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<small.[>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

Should we break open the hotel for you?

<Small.[ Hmm... ]</small>

Wait. A hundred of years?
