WEEK 5

[umbralant]

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.

[psychophant]

This is exactly why I've been so obstinate about it.

[moonfang]

I ain't tried ta do nothin'. Y'all have just been a pain in the ass about it for no damn good reason.

[psychophant]

[gestures at the marquee]

Then what do you call that? Asking the dead to reveal our powers is not "nothing".

[moonfang]

Last resort. They only have a week left and ALL our time is runnin' short. And why? Because you guys are butthurt no one asked nicely?

[psychophant]

There's a difference between "asking nicely" and "forcing people into sharing their powers". Until it becomes relevant, I'd prefer to keep it to myself.

[moonfang]

And what's the point of keepin' it secret? You still plannin' to try and get away with murder?

[psychophant]

Of course not. Attempting to do so now would just be stupid. That doesn't mean I have to tell you anything about what power I have, however.

[he's contrary and petty. that's it, that's the reason. also he never said he wouldn't be petty to zangetsu so here we are!!]

[moonfang]

[and he's going to call him out on it, too]

... So, you really are doing it just to be a pain in the ass. Aren't you supposed to be a tactician? Don't you know this works better when all the pieces are on the board and not being held up a sleeve for some petty garbage reason?

[psychophant]

The pieces are on the board, they simply aren't the places you want them. Now will you drop it; we have more important things to discuss here.

[moonfang]

... Hmph.

[there's really no point in arguing with someone who is just going to be contrary on purpose. He mumbles;]
And people say I'm immature.

[drydrown]

...Please tell me how what powers we have are going to magically do what the rest of yours haven't all this time and save the dead.

[moonfang]

That ain't what I meant and you know it. It's just suspicious as hell. It's part of why I voted fer you in the last trial! I ain't askin' us all to be buddy buddy and sing kumbayah, but if we are gonna make it out of this in one piece, we need to have at least a modicum of trust, don't you think?

[drydrown]

You're going to talk to me about trust now. You. Really.

If you want me gone I really don't care. You aren't the only one. If that's enough for you to kill someone who's innocent of murder then so be it.

[moonfang]

What? How did you get "I'm gonna kill ya" out of what I said? Don't be so paranoid. I really thought you mighta done it! ... And I didn't think Ulquiorra would stoop to killing "garbage". But I underestimated his desperation.

[drydrown]

"You're willing to vote to have someone killed because they won't tell you everything about themselves." Is that a little better, because that is what you said.

Did you even have a reason to assume that I killed someone other than the fact that I don't feel like telling you what power I have?

[moonfang]

No, I voted for you cause yer shady as fuck and seem keen on being buddy buddy with the Bitch.

[drydrown]

[holy shit finally someone with a legitimate reason]

I haven't spoken to her for a couple of weeks now, actually. Not that I've made that public knowledge, so you can be forgiven for thinking that I'm trying to make friends with her. The last time I talked to her was shortly after we received the incentive you and Ulquiorra went after; I had a few questions for her. But I haven't spoken to her since.

The rest is fair, however.

[moonfang]

[AMAZING]

So what, you don't actually want to go with her and be her little pal? Hn. Whatever. I'm tired, I don't really care. You and Iago can just fuck off with your shady bullshit as much as you want, I guess.

[drydrown]

I haven't given her an answer one way or another. But I've made some agreements with others here that have taken that off the table for now.

Now be a good boy and stop hassling the dead for answers they don't have. I've told people what my power is. You just aren't one I've told.

[moonfang]

I'm will punch you in your smug face the next time you call me a "good boy", Cumore.

[drydrown]

Oh...? I can think of far ruder things to call you, and I don't even have the excuse of being in polite company, because heaven knows that we aren't.

But I'm trying not to make too much of a hypocrite of myself, so I'll refrain for the time being.

[moonfang]

Wow. So magnanimous.

[drydrown]

[...he is actually surprised that word is in your vocabulary, zan, good job.]

I do what I can.
