antumbrac | 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.

IAGO YOU REALLY MADE A FRIEND. IS HE MORE THAN A FRIEND? :)

Is now really the time to talk about this?

[PIZZA NO!!!!!!!!!!!!]

YES!! WHY WOULDN'T IT BE? ITS IMPORTANT TO ME THAT YOU'RE HAPPY :) :)

[ no one can see this eyeroll under these shades ]

[just!! burying his face in his hands for a moment, give him a second!!!]

I'm doing just fine, and yes, Dist is my friend. Are you happy?

[he's just!!! so done!!!!! stop embarrassing him!!!!]

[ If you listen hard enough you might hear Pizza screaming from twilight. ]

YOU DID IT! I'M VERY HAPPY. HAVE YOU GIVEN HIM A HIGH FIVE TOO?

[please don't deafen your fellow dead people, especially not over this????]

Yes, yes, I know you're pleased.

[no high fives have been exchanged though, sorry pizza... he's letting you down...]

If something happens to your side, I can see about bringing you back. I'm not making any promises, but I can at least attempt that much for you.

[the rest of you guys are shit outta luck though!! too bad none of you dropped crystals!!!]

REALLY? BUT I'M NOT LEAVING WITHOUT KYOUSUKE. HELP HIM TOO!

You're always so difficult. [ugh!!] Keep yourselves safe for the time being and we'll see what we can do on this end.

WE'LL DO OUR BEST!

AND YOU STAY SAFE TOO. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU LAST TRIAL.

[ah... you saw that............]

You don't have to be worried about me. I'm certainly not going to die here. Focus on taking care of the others there with you.

...OK BUT I'LL BE WATCHING.

EVERYONE HERE IS DOING WELL, WE HAD A PARTY IN THE SPA!

[ Clearly this is important to know? The dead can have parties too. ]

[...hopefully you guys haven't been watching our parties, um.]

Did you have fun?

[is this relevant at all? no. is he going to stop? hell no.]

I DID! RUBY HAD FUN TOO EVEN IF SHE SAT IN THE LOBBY FOR MOST OF IT.

[ um is right! pizza didn't need to hear all of that, if he in fact did. ]

[ While the capitalization remains, the marquee appears to be arguing to itself. ]

DNT WORRY ABOUT ME SAVE KIDS. SHE CANT HELP BC OF OUR VSSLS STATE. DOUBLE 0-STATE. NEED 2 FIX OUR BODYS SOMEHOW? IDK HOW??

[there is so much here that he doesn't understand.]

Fix your bodies...? What do you mean by that?

[Hopefully this will be easier to understand, then??]

Our souls are in Zero-State. Dead and partially missing. We'll be destroyed if we go 2 day like this.Need ways to save ourselves. Any ideas?

Thank you for caring about his happiness, Pizza.

[It's not his intention to destroy Iago further but he already looks hella embarrassed too.]

[dist no??????]

[It needed to be said!!!!!]

[no it did not!!!!!!!]

[ Quietly: ] It might be their only time. If there's anything you would like to share with him...

[ Do it before Twilight is no more ]

I know. [It's just as quiet; it's not a possibility he likes considering, but...] Why do you think I'm indulging him?

[It has nothing to do with the fact that Pizza repeatedly steamrolls him, shhhh.]

He's a good kid.

[ Who is taller and older but shhhhh ]

[he's a pain, that's what he is!!!]

I can't argue that.
