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.]]

[ Well, he'd heard the drive-thru was a thing now, but he hadn't been particularly eager to try it for himself since the odds of hearing from someone he was actually interested in talking to seemed pretty low. But he happens to be here now while that background noise or whatever is coming through, so he guesses he can check it out. ]

Hello?

[ Is this supposed to be on, or is this some kind of intercom butt-dial situation? ]

[It was totally on purpose! The noise stops once Rideaux speaks up, and no harsh clattering from being startled.]

Hello! I was wonderin’ when someone would stop by!

[ ...Okay, that's a voice he doesn't mind hearing from so much. ]

I'm pretty sure the walkie-talkies are a more reliable way of getting someone on the line if you have something to say, you know.

I don’t really have any news other people haven’t already shared, I just figured it’d be good ta have an open line of communication in case someone over there found something new, or wanted to talk over facts again.

[Sometimes a new perspective is helpful?? But also he knows he left abruptly, and there hasn’t been free communication until now, so he’s going to make some kind of use of it.]

We went through the upper floors of the hotel yesterday and got a good deal of information on the Lady's experiments, if that hasn't been relayed to you all already.

[ He assumes Dazai probably already covered that, but he's not certain. He can recap if needed, in a moment. ]

You know, for a while, most of them thought I killed you.
