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.]]

[...iago do you mind if he just kind of sits next to you and checks out for a bit

like he'd gotten through the fun human experiment snuff film over there reasonably well and okay we've been here a lot longer than we thought and shin's eating souls and we are all definitely, definitely going to die but that's

all of that is probably fine

but he's just going to sit and not be fine for a while if no one minds

he'll be quiet about it but he's kind of doing that thing from the trial where he's just kind of staring at the dead space three inches in front of his face

he'll be fine he just kind of needs a bit to process]

[don't worry, cumore, he's got enough spite for us both and also dist and maybe half the dead while we're at it, feel free to check out for awhile!!

if you're still doing bad after we're done here he'll take you back to the room and see if he can help when we aren't in public but for now you just... try to process all of this absolute bullshit...]

...Can we just agree, right now, that no one is selling their soul to Rembrandt.

[Can we please just make that much clear.]

[...oh no...]

Of course no one is selling their soul to Rembrandt. It would be an incredibly stupid idea.

Anyone who decides it's a good idea is going to be disposed of. If you're just going to render your life forfeit then I see no reason why I shouldn't.

[...he's doing real bad he should probably shut up]

I know, Cumore. None of us are going to consider that at all.

[It's not exactly gentle, but it's calm and he just sort of... lightly pats Cumore's arm.]

Because bringing that up in front of this group of people surely won't have any adverse effects at all.

[This sort of shit has worked out so well for us in the past, hasn't it, asshole.]

[...oh.]

My apologies, I spoke without thinking. [That was just a little bit insensitive, huh.] Forget I said it.

[That's more addressed to the group than to Cumore, though he at least offers Cumore the most apologetic look he can manage.]

[ Sighing here. ]

I think we have all learned our lesson by now.

[ PROBABLY. ]

I certainly hope so.
