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.]]
drydrown: we have no use for you here (TCH ♡ looks like you've been busy)

[...Okay, so we're all going to die and Cumore is having a lot of restless energy going on; this place was one of the first to get power back, wasn't it? So maybe there's something in the weird future tavern worth looking...at...

Oh good. It's ghosts. Of course it's ghosts. Why, at this point in time, would it not be ghosts.]


I hope whatever findings you have are decent. The Lady is coming rather unhinged on this side.
twoasone: (Fill my glass)

[Of course. Spoopy ghosts writing spoopy receipts that print one after the other.]

I'M NOT SURPRISED. BUT WE HAVE BEEN KEEPING VERY BUSY ON THIS SIDE. FINDING A SAFE WAY INTO THE HOTEL, PICKING UP THINGS THAT MIGHT HELP...

WE EVEN FOUND A WAY TO SAVE OURSELVES.
drydrown: the magna carta's a nice suggestion (HAUGHTY ♡ judging like john marshall)

Good to know you're not relying on us to do it for you, because look at the group we have left.

What do you need us to do for the time being, if anything?
twoasone: (so why are we weeping?)

WE KNOW. I'LL GO PRINT YOUR CHORES ON SEPERATE RECEIPTS.

[And true to its word, the graveyard has tasks printing out on individual receipts. Much more convenient to assign tasks to individual people instead of sharing one long list.]

THE GREENHOUSE KEY IS IN THE RED MAILBOX. GO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT'S LEFT. BEWARE THE POISONOUS PLANTS.

THE WINDOWS ON THE THIRD FLOOR BALLROOM ARE THE SAFEST WAY TO GET INTO THE HOTEL. YOU CAN GRAB THE FILES IN THE ROOMS FROM THE DOORWAY.

CHECK THE SPA'S MASSAGE ROOM. IT SEEMS SHE MIGHT HAVE PREFORMED EXPERIMENTS IN THERE.

THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE BOUTIQUE. WE FOUND SOMEONE HAD SEWN NOTES INTO CLOTHES ON OUR SIDE.

CHECK THE BLEACHERS IN THE FOOTBALL FIELD FOR INTERESTING BROCHURES.


[Most of this seems straightforward, but the last receipt has a question instead of an order.]

HAVE YOU NOTICED ANYTHING STRANGE ABOUT THE LAMPPOSTS?
drydrown: those plates are totally relevant and useful (CAST ♡ mimura said what now)

[personal profile] drydrown 2020-02-10 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[He'll answer that last question out loud as he's looking over the tasks; he'll keep the greenhouse one to himself, but everything else is coming with him in the interest of distributing at whatever gathering we're all going to need to have.]

Personally? No, but I don't pay them much mind as a whole.

[Sonui...]

I'll keep an eye out, however, and instruct the others to do likewise.
twoasone: (Now I realize I’m not alone)

YOU MIGHT WANT TO PAY CLOSER ATTENTION. WE FOUND OUT THE LADY'S KEEPING SOULS IN THE BULBS, OR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO SOULS.
drydrown: those shoes with that dress though (EHHH ♡ now wait just a minute)

[personal profile] drydrown 2020-02-10 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
...Have I ever mentioned how much I hate all of you.
twoasone: (Cultural high)

[personal profile] twoasone 2020-02-10 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ No, but it seems the printer does not care. ]

DON'T BLAME US, WE'RE JUST USING THOSE TO SURVIVE. YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE, BUT IT SEEMS CRUCIAL TO HER PLANS.
drydrown: we have no use for you here (TCH ♡ looks like you've been busy)

[personal profile] drydrown 2020-02-10 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
...I'm going to take that as a warning to not run about breaking those for now, and we can sort out what to do with those later.
twoasone: (and I stare at you sleeping)

[personal profile] twoasone 2020-02-10 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
GOOD CHOICE.

[ Anything else you wanna tell the printer? ]
drydrown: the magna carta's a nice suggestion (HAUGHTY ♡ judging like john marshall)

[personal profile] drydrown 2020-02-10 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
...To whom am I speaking, because I'm going to take a guess and assume it isn't Hyoubu.

[He has not once been called a ho over the course of this discussion.]
twoasone: (We grew up closer than most)

[personal profile] twoasone 2020-02-10 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
IT ISN'T. AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR SAVING MY PAINTINGS. THE LAST THING AN ARTIST WANTS IS TO HAVE THEIR WORK FORGOTTEN.

[ TWO GUESSES WHO THIS MIGHT BE. ]
drydrown: congratulations! (BOW ♡ it's fucking nothing!)

[personal profile] drydrown 2020-02-10 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Ah.]

Of course I did. I did tell you that you were rather talented, didn't I?
twoasone: (Will you swear on your life)

[personal profile] twoasone 2020-02-10 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
YOU HAVE. YOUR ADMIRATION HAS BEEN A SMALL COMFORT IN THESE LAST FEW WEEKS.
