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. 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.

[ Dear Aidios... ]

Maybe this person is saying that they can't read the text in the hotel from where they are. But there are also demon books in the hotel, so text might be 'text from the demon books in the hotel'.

It sounds also like those left behind with their powers are key to her plan, and the clock is tied into all of this.

So... something in room 11, and something in the clocktower. Who wants to help me lug some water up there tonight?

I don't mind helping.

[ He's going to be out and about nabbing the key from the pool anyway... or well, the pool was emptied so at least he won't have to take a swim. ]

Let's get it done, then. I'll meet ya at the clocktower... ah, say round 10? Bring buckets.

Right.

[ Let's do this...! ]

Let's look at it before we go haphazardly freezing it if we don't know what's actually powering it.

Of course. I didn't plan on letting him freeze it right off the start.

I can help as well.

And Room 11, huh? Well well, maybe that's the demon book that was missing from the tarot shop.

I'm checkin' that out as soon as we're done here.

[ It's your turn to get the very angry marquee, Zan. ]

FIND OUT MORE ABT THIS WRLD AND IF PPL CAN RECOVR FROM 0-STATE. HOW 2 RCOVR SOUL? GAIN SOUL? XCHNGE SOUL? Y DOES THT COW NEED A RNING CLOCK?

Why are you so belligerent and confusing!

I would say that's how he normally is... [ A beat ] He's upset. He really wants to save Pizza and Elliot.

Well then he should be more helpful.

...he's trying his best, please bear with him, okay?

[ Annnnd now it's Rean's turn. ]

If it is, I'd like to get a look at it.

[Summoning a demon is probably not the same as creating a Faceless, but you never know.]

[ He's honestly probably the best person to look it over anyways ]

By all means... I'll hand it over if we find it there.

[leave dark magic to the expert!!]

Excellent, I appreciate it.

[After a while of you guys discussing what's up with the previous message, this finally pops up.]

Missing books in Twilight. Clock not working in Twilight. Investigate differences. Ancient Night/Day cycle irregular, blues growing faster.

Blue is the shadows... the powers, right? It reminds me of what Dist was saying about the rails underground.

What books? In the library?

[Doot doot doot more scrolling text.]

Soul mod/restoration important, Rem state important, soul/blues movement between Night/Twi/Day. Powers not gone, buried/mixed with new.

Our powers aren't gone. You mean we still have them? They're just mixed?

[ That's... that would be a relief if it's true. ]

Soul mod. Modification? Rem's state is important, too. I think we need to get that book first before we approach that.

[ He's mumbling out loud to himself now ]

Before we run out of time... what else?

[This may answer something, but is it exactly what Dazai asked for? Who knows!!]

Book here with us. Rem fire power maybe important, interferes with fire vision/power here. R/her connection/feeding blues maybe important.

Ah. [ So his power messes with their power. ]

Feeding blues... people taking the hints. So we might have to mess with the rail line underground. If we can figure anything out about Rem, we might just have to ask him.
