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.]]

[ Rean kept on wondering briefly if he was just looking to add to his collection or something else. ]

Of course. Let me also know if you need help with selecting or finding anything—though, I imagine you might have something already in mind.

I do, yes.

[Ah, look at this! Iago's expression brightens when he finds something - a black suit jacket with a subtle floral pattern. Definitely not his usual style, since he prefers solid black with only colored ties, but he looks very pleased with it anyway.]

I want to go into our final confrontation with the Lady prepared.

[is now really the time to be thinking about fashion???]

[ It definitely didn't seem like it was Iago's fashion style at all, but...it did remind him of a certain someone's a little bit.

So he smiled softly and thought it was a little cute Iago was thinking of Dist. That's what Rean assumed, anyway. ]


Haha, I can understand that, I think.

[ Sometimes not only do you think of your dead beloved, but you also want to look flashy for the final battle. ]

I'm not really an expert on fashion either, but I don't think anything the Lady has could best that.

[got it in one, rean!!]

Her mask certainly can't.

[ah yes, back to this..........]

I appreciate your support, as always. I look forward to destroying her together.

[rean does not deserve this...]

[ ...He probably didn't. But because of who the Lady was and his friendship with Iago, the other saying that didn't perturb or disturb him in the slightest. ]

...It's hard for me not to look forward to us putting an end to her plans, yeah. She's ruined the lives of too many people for me not to.

And I'm sure whatever threat she throws our way, we'll be able to find some way to counter it or throw it right back at her.

[ And if she's destroyed because of what she did, that would keep her from body hopping, wouldn't it. ]

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-02-12 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Precisely. We need to have several plans in mind before we confront her and be prepared to make new ones up as we go. I'm confident that all of us want the same thing, so we should be able to work together for long enough to make that a reality.

[Under any other circumstances, a group like this would be incapable of getting anything done. But when we're all united by spite, surely we can manage!!!]

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-02-13 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
We should.

[ Yeah...Rean's sure they could definitely manage that much. ]

We'll also especially figure out how to deal with the Lady's body hopping ability. I think that will be the most difficult thing to contend with besides her partnership with Rem.

I believe her body-hopping is done through a machine she invented - theoretically, it isn't something she can do instantly. It's possible her original body is somewhere here as well.

...Oh. Thank the goddess, then.

Things are difficult as it is...if she can't do something like that instantly, it'll at least make it all a bit more easier to deal with.
