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.]]

[ Okay, that's... a lot of information. Mikami's getting out his notepad and scribbling along like... three phrases in, because wow. There's... so much. ]

The subway, the salt mines, the crypts, the sewers... All leads continue pointing us underground.

Though we have yet to look through every part of the upper town as thoroughly as I have examined the hotel, I do think we have a good enough overview to know that we won't find anything drastic if we only remain here.

[ So uh. Yeah. ]

[He's Nohr's greatest tactician, did you expect anything less of him? ♥]

Precisely. I'm not particularly looking forward to that, but at least now we know where we need to focus our efforts.

[ He has lowered his expectations for everyone, partially including himself, to the ground. That's how he's been surviving. So yes, he expected less. ]

Now we have to make sure it's safe.... One way or another, I suspect it will lead back to the manifestations and their properties. Now that we know that even our own powers are caused by them, they really appear to be the key to the whole city.

The Night is their home... and we have what may be molten parts of them in jars...

[ Now if only he knew where he was going there. ]

Yes. We still have much to discuss and consider before we start making plans. We don't have all the pieces just yet, but we're making progress. Please do keep your notes up to date, I'm certain we'll need to reference them in the future.

[...he kind of destroyed his own notes except for the most relevant stuff, so uh.......]

Oh, I will.

[ He's going to hold up his notebook to see and... god, his handwriting is tiny. There's a lot of content here on just on this singular page. ]

[squints]

Well, it certainly looks like you've been keeping them up to date.

[why do you not write like a normal person.... also the most important question: what color is the ink!!!!!!!!!]

[ It's for efficiency.

And the ink is a boring regular blue. Sorry. (Someone get him green or gold and maybe he'll reconsider.) ]
