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.]]

Going down alone sounds like an invitation to have your soul eaten by shadows. If it was only a quick peek, I might be able to get in and out before they see me. But that's only if I can get in. Last I saw, the gates were all welded shut.
[ A beat. ] Oh, and uh. I think that's because I'm the only one who even tried. Rembrandt doesn't seem to care what any of us do. As long as we never tick off the Lady, we're free to scurry around and put our hands all over anything we want.

[But then again, Rembrandt is a mystery, and even after all this time, Iago's still not sure he's really figured Rembrandt out.]
Well, it may be worth looking to see if we missed a way in, but I do agree that it could be too dangerous to attempt at the moment without a way to tell what's down there.

[ A hesitant pause. Should he say this...? He might as well say this. ]
Um. I... have a confession. He knew I was taking the computer. He's clueless when it comes to technology, it doesn't even belong to the Lady, and he had no reason to take it from us in the first place.

[Mmmm, he doesn't like it.]
Do you know who the computer belonged to?
no subject
I didn't ask. I just assumed it was someone who used to live here.
