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.]]

...right, of course. I’ll check and see if there is anything amiss with them on our end, as well.

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

...The lights in them might be people. Be careful.
baitless: an expression that can serve as either deep frustration or, perhaps, some level of grief. who can say. (i am so tired all of the time.)

...

[why on earth is this place like this.]

Understood. I don’t intend to do anything outside of observing them unless strictly necessary.
drydrown: the magna carta's a nice suggestion (HAUGHTY ♡ judging like john marshall)

Good. That's what I told the deceased, we won't break them unless we have to.

They think they're important for the Lady's plans. But if they contain the dead we can't exactly smash them and call it a day.

Precisely. We need more information, even in that case... if there is no way to return the dead to some sort of body, releasing them may be their only option for any sort of peace.

Obviously, that would be the worst case scenario, and I am not sure if it would apply to our dead as much as the previous victims here. I just...

[sigh.]

Well, I’m hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst.
drydrown: those plates are totally relevant and useful (CAST ♡ mimura said what now)

Thankfully it won't be solely on us. They think they've found a way to save themselves.

[Which is good news because like. Look at us.

For a moment it doesn't look like he's inclined to say much else; that would certainly be par for the course. But, well.]

...I don't believe I've thanked you properly. For everything you've done for us.

It's...appreciated, Seteth.
baitless: a very subtle smile. (ah yes st. cethleann.)

There is that, at least. Well, I will have faith in them, since it seems as though they have accomplished much already.

[he’s proud of you, graveyard. except shin, but he will admit to personal bias there.]

...and you’re welcome, Cumore. Though I have been somewhat short with you in the past, I hope you know that I appreciate your work here as well.
