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.]]

This flame of your ally's is apparently causing quite a problem for the Lady, then. So, congratulations on that.

What are you doing with the fuseboxes? Simply flipping them on...?

[ OH Dazai ganked those ]

There were some of those in the auto shop.
ortion: (❀ don't need no sass)

[After finishing up, Dist turns to Dazai.]

What are these "walkie talkies"?

[ butting in, AS HE DOES, since he's actually got a frame of reference for you ]

It's like an extremely low-tech GHS with only voice functions that operates over much shorter distances.

[Thanks, Rideaux.]

I see. So a primitive form of the GHS, then. I suppose such a thing would still find some use for our purposes.

They are communication devices. Remind me to show you them later.
ortion: (❀ mad science)

[personal profile] ortion 2020-02-06 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you don't have to tell me twice. I will make sure you do!

Looks like Dist will have to share. Thanks, though. We'll do our best here.
ortion: (❀ my life is so tragic)

[personal profile] ortion 2020-02-06 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[!!!]

You have my thanks for that one, Twilight.

[And then to Dazai, much flatter:]

As if I already wasn't?

I know, I know. You've been doing your best.

[ Does he want head pats? ]
ortion: (❀ do u think this is a game)

[personal profile] ortion 2020-02-06 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Please actually try to give him a head pat.]

[ He will give him head pats. Rean has enabled a habit ]
ortion: (❀ REALLY?)

[personal profile] ortion 2020-02-06 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[With a look of disgust, Dist recoils.]

What are you doing?

[DOES HE LOOK 5 TO YOU?!]

Giving you a reward.

[ Take it. ]
ortion: (❀ do u think this is a game)

[personal profile] ortion 2020-02-06 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
I fail to see how that is a reward.
ortion: (❀ snowfall)

[personal profile] ortion 2020-02-06 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Interesting... Well, good work thus far.
ortion: (❀ how about no)

[Who is this rude af writer???]

I still have no concrete answer, but it was as if electricity refused to function in any of the buildings until you all did something about it. Now it's as if the electricity is confined to the buildings that you turn on. Nothing coming in, nothing going out.

Her world seems far more advanced than this one's, that much I can say with certainty. It also does not have magic or particles that can create magic, like my world.
