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.]]

Looks like this is the very first one. Not every day you see someone get this excited by failure.
[ Yes, that's part of the scientific process and all, but this is particularly "Hm." ]
Did you find something?
no subject
The World Has a Secret and I'm About to Plunder It!
[ Tilting it towards him so he can see.
Then he's going to open it up. What do we have inside this folder. ]
no subject
Okay, no, it isn't.
Once the folder is open something heavy falls from it: a tablet. It's turned off right now -- but it can be turned on! Give it a try, yup.
There are also two pages inside this folder. The first one has 1/4 in a corner, and seems to be an empty report repurposed for writing these things down. Give it a read!]
no subject
[ Just... sitting down next to him on the bed to read along, I guess, why is this happening.
And he'll catch the tablet and turn it on, assuming it's still got a charge. ]
no subject
[ He means the title.
The contents are... interesting. Since Rideaux is checking the tablet, Dazai is going to flip to the second page to read it. ]
no subject
Still, the second page has this!]
no subject
Hm. I'm curious as to exactly what "extending it indefinitely" is supposed to mean when it's an alternate world rather than a time.
[ Unless the clock had something to do with it... ]
And theoretically, wouldn't that just make the electricity problem worse, if going back and forth between Day and Night was what allowed her to keep operating in the Night before?
no subject
[ He was confused about what they meant before but... ]
Maybe that's why she started using souls.
no subject
There are two files. One is a text file, interrupted like the person writing for fed up with the clumsiness of writing with a device. The note says:]
"I once asked Rembrandt if the energy looks delicious. It turns out this, not being souls, is of no interest to him, despite coming from living human beings. That's one problem less for me! I think I"
[There's also a video file. The video is...well, it's quite something.]
no subject
Hm. Yes, that is something. ]
...Well, I suppose that answers some questions.
[ And raises one or two.
...Might as well take this tablet with them too, he guesses. ]
no subject
[ And welp... That's Rean. That's Rean probably getting mauled by some lizards before everything happened.
They now know the procedure of how they got their new powers, but... it pisses him off to see it done to Rean like that. ]
Maybe we should burn this place down.
[ Okay, time to go. He's definitely stealing the pillows though. ]
no subject
no subject
[ The only thing nice tbh. He'll wait until after people enjoy it then before deciding to throw something at the windows. ]
