WEEK 5

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.

[...And that's all it's going to be, because the clock is now stopped. There are no electrocutions, no grand explosions and probably no bodies hitting the floor unless someone decides to get real stabby right now. So the most I can say is:

The clock is now incapacitated.

Also what time is it right now, because the hands will be stuck there until this gets fixed (if ever?)]

[Zangetsu may have had his arms held up in front of his face in case something happened.

But uh.

Nothing does?]

..... Well, we stopped the clock. Now maybe that dead old guy won't yell at us anymore? Should we yoink that box, ya think?

[pr159]

[ exhales......... but still very fucking unsure tbh????? ]

Go for it.

[ Just going to pick up his knife and pretend this never happened... ]

[moonfang]

[as he passes Rideaux he just carefully sort of... pats him on the shoulder???]

Go take a break, stressball.

[Zan is just gonna reach in there and see if he can't jimmy that box loose]

[pr159]

[ what the shit was that!! ]

Ugh... fine.

...There's actually something I'd like to discuss with you, if you could come by my room sometime.

[moonfang]

Oh yeah? I'll be by later, then.

[umbralant]

[It is kind of wedged in there between a couple of brackets but Zangetsu can definitely get it loose and remove it! Congrats, you've picked up 1 x black mystery box with broken wires. It looks to be made from fairly heavy-duty plastic and there's like a latch at the top but that's all you can really tell.]

[moonfang]

[SUCCESS. While he's in here, is there anything else interesting to see now that the gears are stopped? He still has his goggles on!]

[umbralant]

[Aside from the wiring being cut loose now? Not particularly; the box wasn't hiding anything and the gears more or less look the same as they did before, but just stationary. Y'all did your best!!]
