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.]]

I can say the same thing.

[ she looks back at the words and kind of squints at them in thought. ]

Any ideas on what this might mean?

[ Glancing out the window... ]

Well, given the color of the moon right now, we might find out for ourselves soon, if there's any truth to this.

[ Is this better or worse than the moon turning into a giant fetus, who can really say. ]

"Vessel rupture" is rather vague without any further explanation, since it could be something as minor as a subconjunctival hemorrhage, or a broken vessel in the eye. [ Which could make the eye look a little red moon itself, actually, though he doesn't think that part was supposed to be metaphorical. ] Given the context, however, I would assume it probably isn't anything so innocuous.

[ At least three Sanguis users are still alive to save the day if this becomes a thing? Though, hm. ]

One could almost take "vessel rupture" and "false you" to be referring to Sanguis and Klados, actually, especially with the "desiring greater power" part... though I don't know exactly how the rest of it would fit in that case.

[ But it was also just a lead that was being investigated and not necessarily established fact, so some of those details may not be accurate. ]
