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.]]

[ So straightforward... dude's gotta hide his villainy better!! Thinking again before speaking!! ]

Sheesh, you're asking me for a lot here. He reacts to so much I barely know where to start! How about I give you guys the highlights and if you think there's more, you can grill me later.

First thing's first—the Lord of Shadow. I can't say for sure what he's after, but I told Rembrandt he was trying to rule the world. [ So, world domination?? That might be the Lady's aim. Who knows, not him. ]

That lines up fairly well with what I've learned of her.

[sometimes you talk about how much you wanna conquer a country or five, nbd.]

What's next?

[ Here goes, more info dumping!! ymmv on how useful any of this is!! ]

It's starting to feel like he's desperate to gossip about her. Either something happened that put a wedge between them or he's getting tired of her. Whatever it is, they're not as close as they used to be.

Oh, but don't get the wrong idea. As ready as he is to talk about certain things, he's not about to turn traitor for anyone here. [ Gossip's ok, betrayal not. Go figure?? He shrugs. ]

Really? That's interesting. I certainly got the impression he was fine talking behind her back, but I never would have thought anything would get between them. I'm assuming you don't have any idea what that could have been?

Not a clue! Even if I tried telling you everything he said, it was a while ago. I can't promise I'll remember everything he said or my impressions of it.
