WEEK 6
WEEK 6
Five weeks. It's been five weeks, and twenty-seven has now dwindled down to eleven. And while only two passed this week, this trial may have been the most devastating in its own way, as threads of patience frayed and fragments of trust fractured. Nevertheless, if The Lady is to be believed, that may very well have been the final set of sacrifices that she was waiting for, so perhaps the end is in sight.
Of course, the fact that everyone is still stuck in Krakow means that it's not over yet, and who even knows what's happening over in the Twilight?
And so, some more changes are in store for this week, even if it may not be the same ones that you've gotten used to. For one thing, the fog stays put and no new areas of the city are revealed under the light of the lampposts. Secondly, The Lady is nowhere to be found in the city, with her bookstore office vacated and abandoned with nary a trace as to where she went. And third, the clock tower will no longer operate, which-- well. Actually that's not new at all, but it certainly may make it difficult to keep up with the facade of passing days. At least the moon still serves as a reminder of that, gibbous phase waxing into something fuller over the course of the week even if the color looks a bit off.
It may not be a fresh new start, but it's not time to give up yet, is it? After all, you are all Survivors.
[[Welcome to Week 6! Note that there are no new locations this week, but feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. As alluded above, The Lady will be unavailable, while Rembrandt will still be around on Monday and Tuesday before disappearing for the rest of the week.]]
MONDAY?
WEATHER...?
High: 45°F (7°C)
Low: 34°F (1°C)]
A LITTLE SOMETHING
Ah, there comes one. It's the Lady with her megaphone, as usual. There seems to be some sort of steel plating on her shoulder and leg where Ango shot her, covering more than necessary on those areas, making her look like she started to convert herself into a cyborg...shoulder-first? Knowing her, it can't be just plating. Frankly those look like putting them on would be even more painful than getting shot.
Looks like other people aren't the only ones she's willing to perform modifications on. Yet she doesn't seem to care. She faces everyone, vibrating with a barely repressed excitement]
Good news, everyone! I have decided to put an end to this farce! I got bored with it.
[She lets out a brief giggle of joy]
These were fun times, but that was enough. You all can do whatever you want. I will come to get you all when it's all over, alright? So sit tight and just wait for a few days longer, and then...! [She tilts her head, laying a hand on her face] ...if you all behave I will let you go home. So be good, darlings, be good!
Ahahahaha-HA!
[If it's making her happy, it can't be good, that's for sure. Doom is coming. With that demented grin that has been coming more and more often nowadays, she leaves]

Cw: ghost stories, body horror, all that jazz
This voice will also take a lot of breaks. And sometimes it'll do Japanese ghost stories instead, more on the improv, and provide some sound effects like scratching nails on something and a raspy breathing sound and etc. In between these stories though there's sometimes a random word insert like "walkie-talkie" and "Iago".
The voice will probably stop if you stop and talk to it, but will resume as soon as you are gone. ]

Inves...tigation.....?
Mikami can be found in the hotel for the majority of the day. He's taking the place apart - methodically, not on a rampage. Every piece of furniture is getting moved, every pillow-case is being opened, every lightbulb is getting unscrewed. He really is systematically working his way through the lower floor and not leaving anything untouched. For this, he's wearing a simple dress shirt and simple pants as well as gloves. He suspects this is going to get physically exhausting, with all the furniture-moving and whatnot, so no use wearing a full suit.
Feel free to watch, mock, help, whatever you want to be doing.
Come evening, the hotel doesn't look disorderly, actually! Everything is just definitely moved a bit from where it was. Sorry. ]

McHaunting
But if you go inside, you'll find the POS system printing out receipts on its own. Really weird receipts that have messages instead of a list of purchased food.
One receipt says: ] THIS IS TWILIGHT. WE'VE DONE A LOT OF EXPLORING ON THIS SIDE AND WANT TO SHARE OUR FINDINGS WITH YOU.
[ And another prints out before anyone has a chance to take the first. ] I CAN HELP YOU HERE, BUT WE CAN TALK TO YOU DIRECTLY THROUGH THE DRIVE THROUGH. PICK WHICHEVER IS MORE CONVENIENT.
[ Hm. ]

investigation x2??? these are probably short!!
After seeing that the fog hasn't moved any, he heads to the boutique. He'll be in here for awhile picking through the clothes looking for... something. What exactly is it he's in here for?? Good question.
Up next is the bookstore... Hmm. He came in here to get a few books for today's project but the Lady isn't in... So he's going to see if he can investigate her office. Is the door locked?
Later on, it's time for SCIENCE. What's that you say, Iago's from a totally backwards world and doesn't know how to science? You're damn right, but he's got entirely too many books and a can-do attitude and he is going to learn how to science if it kills him. He's holed up in the lab currently investigating that sludge Ulquiorra left. He will figure out how to use a microscope if he has to in order to get something out of this!! But for now, he's just sort of looking through all of them looking for any that look off or different - what exactly do these look like anyway?]

quick in(spa)gation??
That being said, Rean had found a key Oli had pointed out to him. So, together with Dazai, he went to see first if it really did unlock the spa. Maybe there was something to investigate there as well, which was implied, but they'll see whether or not that's true. ]

Investigation
That said, he's gotten some information from Shin and he's more than willing to pass out receipts to anyone that wants one, should you run into him; he's claimed the first one for himself, however, and his first stop is that red mailbox for the sake of investigation - is retrieving the key going to be as easy as it sounds, is the box full of snakes, what is he looking at.
That said, if you want a task and don't run into him out in the wild or in his natural goddamn habitat of the botanical garden later, he'll be near the entrance to clergy housing, shoving slips of paper at anyone who happens to be in his immediate vicinity.]
Go be useful.

Maybe I should just hot wire it?
[ Later, after spoop town, he will be found in the milk bar. He seems to be digging around behind the counter for something. ]
Too big. Too small... Ah! Found them.
[ Pulling out some take-out containers for soup. Seems like he's grabbing food to-go. ]
[ Sometime closer to the evening, he can be found in the boutique. Just going through clothes on the racks and pulling out anything dressy that might fit him. Pausing at the ties to pick them up to try to match them. ]

Hotel investigation
Arriving outside the building, he tucks the slip of paper with the given task into his pocket and looks up at the windows. Third floor, hm? He should be able to make use of his power to get up there in one way or another, but... let's see. ]

mini-investigation!
Sometime during the day, the two of them meet up at the museum and Erik gestures toward one of the exhibition halls. ] I'm pretty sure I saw it over this way. Let's head in, nab the thing, and slip out before anyone spots us.

TUESDAY?
WEATHER...?
High: 41°F (5°C)
Low: 32°F (0°C)]
Investigation
In the afternoon, he'll be found in the main square. He has some tourism magazines in hand but judging by his irritated expression, they're really not helping much.
In the evening, he'll still do his regular gym workout. He's been doing it at the same time for as long as the gym has been standing, so it's probably really easy to find him. Today, too, he's focusing on a punching bag. Might as well get that self defense down if he's going to a world with monsters.
If you want to meet him elsewhere, make up any wildcard you like.]

It's likely obvious where he is sometime later, though; a sign has shown up on the outside of that newly unlocked greenhouse in the botanical garden:
♡ IT WILL HURT THE ENTIRE TIME YOU ARE DYING ♡
Do not consume anything in here, and if you don't know what something is, don't play with it!
...That said, Cumore himself can absolutely be found in there, doing things with various jars. Hopefully his liking for the plant life here hasn't gone mildly deranged over the past couple of days. At least he has gloves on and is surprisingly fully-dressed today.
Otherwise, he can be found in the opera house in the evening, doing trial and error with the steel rods and seeing how well he can make them work as ammunition for Variable Edge; apparently that weird bladed contraption he had at the trial folds down into a bow of some sort. He's making use of one of those...things that Hyoubu dressed up so nicely for them during the first murder here, firing shots into it; he's not Schwann or Casey, this isn't his primary weapon and he hasn't taken a fucking shot in a while and it shows, but Ango did have a point during the last trial. No need to be fancy or particularly stellar when you have an entire human-sized Target to aim at, and god knows he's more than proficient enough to manage that.]

investigation- boutique;
Everyone, I will be holding our next meeting in the Hotel Restaurant. Please be sure to come so we can share our findings with everyone.
The meeting will be at 12:30PM on Wednesday, as usual. I'll also be bringing refreshments and food.
Let's do our best together to defeat the Lady once and for all.
- Rean Schwarzer
[ After nabbing himself some breakfast, Rean was going to do a walk around the city before heading to the boutique first and...he's going to be there awhile, investigating the clothing. Looking for anything weird or off about them to start with.
Though, towards the evening, he could be caught in the clergy house kitchen, making some dinner before bed as well. ]

It simply reads Spa is Opened.
That's all folks.
The writer himself can be found not far from a blue haired protagonist, or back in the auto shop again. ]

spa(rty?) + laundromat investigation
If you're also checking out this exciting new location today, you can find him relaxing in a hot tub with his hair piled up in a bun and a towel around his shoulders. (He's also got several very deep scars on his chest and abdomen, actually, but they're mostly underwater, and is anyone really going to be paying that much attention.) Let's keep it quiet in here, please.
Later on, now that he's as refreshed as he's going to get, he'll go to the laundromat for what will probably be his last load of laundry here, which is kind of weird to think about. Anyway, while he's waiting for clean pants, he'll actually take a closer look around the place this time. It wasn't on the investigation list, and he probably isn't going to find anything but missing socks, but what the hell, he's here already.
Are there any machines that stand out at all from the others? ]
