WEEK 6

WEEK 6

monday

tuesday

wednesday

thursday

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.]]

WEATHER...?

[umbralant]

[The fog is at its thickest today, almost making it difficult to distinguish between the type that simply covers the streets and the type that turns people around. And yet, the light of the moon still manages to pierce through the cover, dyeing everything in a deep orange. The moon is almost full. The tremors occur almost hourly now, and the occasional one may be strong enough to knock some heavier objects off their perch and make it a bit difficult to sleep.
High: 32°F (0°C)
Low: 21°F (-7°C)]

Get your stuff

[reanbeans]

[ Rean will be in the candle shop, in the early afternoon, using a table to have some of people's here, and for the last item, he'll be heading to the autoshop.

Because he figured that this was Dist's. He had the remaining walkie-talkie with him this time. ]

...It looks like I've received something of yours, Dist. I wanted to let you know I'll hold onto it for you, though if you'd like I could give it to Iago to do that instead.

[umbralant]

[The walkie-talkie seems tobe functioning like normal, but there's no response. Not even static, or any kind of noise]

[reanbeans]

[ He'll bite his lip a little, worried. ]

Additional Stuff

[deadlygoals]

[ Just going to add on to Rean's pile.

A short outfit for a lone wolf.

A music box in pieces: The casing is made of bone, but the lid’s snapped off. Allegedly the joints were so warped it fell apart on its own.

A set of vials with cork stoppers, shiny and well taken care of.

Lute: A lovely stringed instrument that has been used many a time to serenade unfortunate souls.

The Second Best Seashell, a pretty seashell, but slight imperfections.

A beige blazer type high school uniform with a plaid tie and red glasses that are very cracked, likely in extreme hatred.

Devicer outfit - A bodysuit-like outfit worn in Knightmare cockpits. The shoulder pads inflate for some reason... ]

[reanbeans]

[ He'll just take the lute, thanks. ]

[bawcock]

[ Passing by and that lone wolf outfit catches his eye. Oh boy, is that—

Yeah, that sure is the outfit he used to wear. Why is it here?? He's... going to grab it anyway because having more clothes is always a good thing! Looking around for a second before finding whoever is closest to the table. ] Thanks.

autoshop

[psychophant]

[It's probably not a surprise to see Iago come in here with his own walkie talkie (because it's his now, sorry Dazai) and he hesitates when he hears Rean.]

What did you receive?

[reanbeans]

[ RIP Dazai's ownership of the other walkie talkie. ]

Oh, it's this. I figured giving the people mentioned on here, Dist might want it safely kept.

...I did try to contact with him, but there was no response. Kyousuke did say that after we wouldn't be able to talk, though I had forgotten.

[ That said... ]

Since Dist's not here to answer did you want to hold onto it? I think it's really important to him.

[drydrown]

[...Well. This is confusing. Just...going to be turning that weird stuffed toy around in his hands because why...]

You received this from the postal service...?

[reanbeans]

[ That sure is a thing. Congratulations, Cumore, you now have a stuffed Phaeroh! ]

Yeah, I did.

[ ... ]

I'm guessing it's yours?

candle shop

[baitless]

[ah, just the person he wanted to see, actually!]

Ah, Rean. I believe I received a photograph of yours from the post office, for... whatever reason.

[I mean, it's pretty obviously his, right...]

[reanbeans]

[ Oh no...his cherished photo.

Rean will just smile at the sight. ]

...Thank you, Seteth, I really do appreciate you coming to find me with this. It means a lot to me.

more stuff

[psychophant]

[Well, today's already started terribly and after getting hit in the face by eighty-three blobs and dealing with Shin's horrible furniture, Iago's just done. Feel free to come claim any of your stuff which he's just leaving out in the clergy housing dining room. Hope you guys didn't want to actually eat because that horrible chair is here too!!! If he has to suffer then so do the rest of you. There's also the Caja Negación, Handheld Saw, Relic of Knowledge, Drain Lance, and Knight Sword if you guys want those too.

You may also find him there looking at Thyrsus like he's not sure if he wants to hang onto it... It's clearly a magic staff but also what the fuck is is made of. Not sure if fascinated or disgusted. Maybe both.

Throughout the rest of the day, you might find him come up to you wherever you are with a very important question:]

What is your fighting style? Should this turn to a fight, will you be able to defend yourself?

[reanbeans]

[ He'll just...try to discreetly nab the Demon Prince outfit at some point, it's. It's fine. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Is he even going to approach Dazai about fighting style? ]

[drydrown]

[...Okay wait hold on.]

That's the sword you received?

[inordertobelieve]

[ Whenever Iago is making it to Mikami with this question, it's clear the green suit has found its owner. Mikami looks slightly more comfortable in his skin today than he has literally ever before. ]

I hope I can. I've got the gun, but I thought it wouldn't be wise to rely on only that. My recent gym workouts have been geared towards punching and kicking. I'm fairly resilient towards physical pain as a rule, too. I'll hold out.

dining room

[baitless]

[..............there's just a whole lot going on here in general, from that fucking cursed chair to uh. uh.... uh???]

...

Where on earth did you get that.

[bawcock]

[ why are you cursing them with this chair ]

Adding to the Yard Sard

[inordertobelieve]

[ Okay, the idea of leaving all this stuff out for people to sort through is nice and he's going to join Rean and Dazai in doing it in the candle shop because the clergy housing dining room is irrevocably cursed by that chair now.

Mikami leaves a flag, an outfit and a meticulously polished copper-colored pocketwatch with an image of gears etched into the cover for people's perusal.

And because the fog is so thick by now that not everyone would like to be out, he's tacking a note onto the inside of the clergy housing door:

We appear to be exchanging post office items in the Candle Shop. Go there and see if you are the rightful owner of something.

Mikami himself is definitely only found in the clergy housing for the rest of the day. You can either find him making food in the kitchen while pointedly trying to not look at that chair one room over... or simply in his room. The door is open for once, he's free to be bothered. ]

clergy housing

[deadlygoals]

[ Why is he back in here again. ]

I'm here to prosecute your food.

[ Because it's sad. ]

[bawcock]

[ He's passing by again and—there's another outfit!! First of all, what is with this place and clothing?? Is the post office just one big clothing store and he never realized?

Secondly. ]

Are they taking clothes from mermaids now? I'm pretty sure I saw a shark guarding this exact coat.

candle shop

[pr159]

[ That pocketwatch is exactly what Rideaux has been hoping to find. He'd been disappointed -- to put it mildly -- when it hadn't come with his own shop purchase this morning, thinking he'd probably missed his last chance to get it back. Seeing Mikami dropping it off there now is the second greatest relief he's felt here, after the outcome of the fourth trial.

He moves swiftly to pick it up before anyone else can think about grabbing it. ]

You got this from the post office, right?
