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.]]

Oh! And here I thought she simply wanted to live a luxurious life, waited on by a handsome fellow who just so happens to be a literal devil, and spending her days lovingly tending to her collection of severed heads and an arm.

[ Is he... Jealous? Or does he just hate this woman as much as you do now? ]

Speaking of demons, did you find any notes explaining why Rembrandt held so much power over those... Blue eyed beings?

Ah, so you wish to be waited on a handsome fellow with a bunch of body parts.

[ He isn't surprised at all. ]

I haven't found anything. The Lady seems frustrated that she isn't able to. It may have to do with his nature and the nature of the shadows.

What?! NO! I was happy with what I had before all this, why would I want a servant!?

[ Shin is a humble artist, not a spoiled brat! ]
twoasone: (Well you’re only scared of me)

[ ... Oh, right. Rembrandt. ]

Odd. I thought she'd know more about the man she had working for her.
deadlygoals: Len aka <user name="tsundereban" site="plurk.com"> (☠2)

maybe this is like kingdom hearts and he's the disney villain with heartless obeying him

[personal profile] deadlygoals 2020-02-11 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's the part he takes issue with. ]

I think she only cares about is how he's useful to her. He's the best assistant she has had so far. If he is a demon, then these shadows may be something similar, but to a lesser degree.
twoasone: (I know some things that you don't)

If that actually happens I will laugh

[ Is Cumore the only person who likes his art??? ]

... I wonder what might happen if he was convinced to turn on her.

Lady rips off her mask and she has gray hair and yellow eyes. Ladynort

We would need to know what he's actually getting from their alliance. If he is a demon, then he may be getting her soul after this is finished. Which could explain why she's planning on leaving everything to a younger her.

I don't know if any of that is real though.

Considering she can already weasel her way into other worlds, I wouldn't put that past her.

But what do I know? I didn't have to put up with demons and ghouls in my world!

They are just stories in my world.

[ Just ignoring Chuuya here ]

As they were in mine! And yet here we are.

[ coughs over here. ] Dist says it's true. Iago probably has more info? I'll leave the grilling to you all. I've also read the books and one was definitely talking about Faustian contracts.

We're holding a meeting tomorrow, so maybe he'll share then.

[ Grilling Iago...isn't going to be a smart move for him at this moment, so he'll leave that to others. ]

Is there anything related to birds in that book?
tokihanate: (um what)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-02-11 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, good luck. Be sure to focus with all you've got or something remotely inspirational.

No, the passage in particular was about Faust. Why?

I may be overthinking the paintings Rean found, but the red eyes on the bird reminded me of Rembrandt.

Don't worry. I have something inspirational, and I'll work on figuring this out.
tokihanate: (o rly now)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-02-11 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, who knows. Maybe it means he can turn into a bird like vampires turn into bats.

He did say he didn't like garlic.
tokihanate: (have an almond)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-02-11 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I wasn't serious.

But if he is a demon, who knows. He might actually be able to do that.
