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.]]

i'm so glad, it's perfect

[Hmm...]

Of course I am.

[Joking aside, though...]

Your shots have a lot of power behind them - if you hit her, it's likely to deal a good amount of damage. While your aim may not be perfect, just landing a single hit on her would injure her severely. It would undoubtedly slow her down, at the very least.

[He's mostly just thinking out loud, though he still looks very interested.]

...These things are being put in poison before we deal with her.

[So yeah.]

Excellent. If you need any assistance with it, do let me know.

[He's not an expert or anything, but he has some experience with poisons.]
drydrown: we have no use for you here (TCH ♡ looks like you've been busy)

[personal profile] drydrown 2020-02-11 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, of course. It's far from my normal expertise.

It isn't anything I'd say I'm an expert at, but I've utilized poisons quite a bit in the past.

[personal profile] drydrown 2020-02-11 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I know enough to identify what's likely to be toxic and what isn't. I don't really have much cause to utilize it.

[...]

Outside of the obvious reason, but he isn't going to consume anything I give him.

That's certainly fair. I had to do away with a few troublesome people that way in the past, but that hardly matters now.

[shame we can't just have rean make the lady some food and poison it, though.........]
drydrown: we have no use for you here (TCH ♡ looks like you've been busy)

[personal profile] drydrown 2020-02-11 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It's never really been my way of doing things, anyway.

[...He kind of figured that if he tried poisoning the coffee he'd probably nail one of us instead of her, but that isn't to say he didn't consider trying to find a way early on.]

[same, buddy..........]

It can be useful, but it's not my preferred way either.

[personal profile] drydrown 2020-02-11 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
There's fairly little satisfaction in it for me; I don't really see much point. I imagine the subtlety is nice, but none of us are subtle people.

[holy shit look at ragou.]

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-02-11 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't say I'm surprised by that.

[reasons why cumore couldn't have killed dist..........]

Still, poisoning your arrows may serve us well.
drydrown: (WINK ♡ rip you all to pieces of course!)

[personal profile] drydrown 2020-02-11 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I intend to make it painful.

[♡ EVERYTHING IN HERE WILL MILL YOU AND IT WILL HURT THE ENTIRE TIME YOU ARE DYING ♡]
psychophant: (✦ 16)

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-02-11 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly as it should be. I'll be severely disappointed if her death is quick.

[usually he pretends to have more restraint but NAH, ALL THAT DIED WITH DIST]
drydrown: congratulations! (BOW ♡ it's fucking nothing!)

[personal profile] drydrown 2020-02-11 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
So will I, honestly. As long as she suffers, though, I think I can accept whatever happens.
psychophant: (✦ 79)

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-02-11 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I would like the opportunity to make her suffer personally, but if that falls to someone else, I won't complain too much.
drydrown: but how much do you want it? (Default)

[personal profile] drydrown 2020-02-11 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I doubt many will argue it either way.

[Nice people saying wonderful things, this conversation.]
psychophant: (✦ 04)

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-02-11 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Precisely. We're all in agreement that she needs to die, at the very least.

[we better all be in agreement about that, anyway!!!!!!!!]
