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.]]
drydrown: the magna carta's a nice suggestion (HAUGHTY ♡ judging like john marshall)

Oh, were you able to get one of those guns you were talking about?

[...you know, that time we were discussing murdering zan out in front of god and everyone]

Exactly. At least the trip to the post office didn't end up being a complete waste.

[ Even though he is salty about being hit in the face by a mini monster. ]

If anything happens from now on, I won't be as defenseless.
drydrown: we have no use for you here (TCH ♡ looks like you've been busy)

Good. This place seems to have granted me a small armory's worth of weapons, so at least I don't have much to be concerned about in that regard.

[ This gets a small fleeting smile because we're all losing our minds in this place and Mikami has maybe remembered how to use his facial muscles for things other than frowning. ]

As much as I disliked the idea of having everyone armed, people would find a way to murder one another either way. I understand that now. So it's good we at least have defensive abilities - against whatever may come our way.
drydrown: those shoes with that dress though (EHHH ♡ now wait just a minute)

[...Mikami is smiling and that is a sign that we need to prepare for the Horsemen and the end of days.]

There's something to be said for creativity, I suppose - a lot of this does seem to have been unavoidable, armed or not.

I still don't plan on dying here, so at this point I'll take any advantage I can get.
