WEEK 6

WEEK 6

monday

tuesday

wednesday

thursday

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.]]

more stuff

[psychophant]

[Well, today's already started terribly and after getting hit in the face by eighty-three blobs and dealing with Shin's horrible furniture, Iago's just done. Feel free to come claim any of your stuff which he's just leaving out in the clergy housing dining room. Hope you guys didn't want to actually eat because that horrible chair is here too!!! If he has to suffer then so do the rest of you. There's also the Caja Negación, Handheld Saw, Relic of Knowledge, Drain Lance, and Knight Sword if you guys want those too.

You may also find him there looking at Thyrsus like he's not sure if he wants to hang onto it... It's clearly a magic staff but also what the fuck is is made of. Not sure if fascinated or disgusted. Maybe both.

Throughout the rest of the day, you might find him come up to you wherever you are with a very important question:]

What is your fighting style? Should this turn to a fight, will you be able to defend yourself?

[reanbeans]

[ He'll just...try to discreetly nab the Demon Prince outfit at some point, it's. It's fine. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Is he even going to approach Dazai about fighting style? ]

[psychophant]

[Well, with Dazai it's going to be a bit different, um...]

You know how to use a gun.

[What a greeting, I am so sorry, Dazai. He's still pretty damn mad, but he's got something more important to focus on right now.]

Teach me how to use it.

[oh my god.]

[deadlygoals]

[ Not what he was expecting to come out of Iago's mouth. It's still many steps up from what he usually gets from people who don't like him though so... ]

Let's go to the sports field.

[psychophant]

[he's a mage, but...!!!!]

Of course.

[So one quick trip later!!!]

I imagine I don't have to tell you that my aim isn't going to be great. [Given his right eye is always covered.] But I need to learn, just in case.

[deadlygoals]

[ Once they are there, he's going to drag out one of the dragon costumes to set up on the field.

Also welcome to the one eye covered club. ]

The guns we got from the post office comes with a laser pointer to help with aim.

[ Once the dummy is set up, he'll walk over to Iago, pulling out his own gun. Holding it side ways to show how to turn on the laser. ]

[drydrown]

[...Okay wait hold on.]

That's the sword you received?

[psychophant]

It is, yes. Is it yours?

[drydrown]

Yes, it is.

[It's kind of weirding him out to see it here, honestly.]

[psychophant]

Well, I certainly have no use for it. More weapons can never be a bad thing, I suppose.

[drydrown]

It'll be far better than the one I have, so I'm not complaining at all. At least this one is familiar.

I may go back to the opera house later to reacquaint myself with it. Come with me.

[In the event that he's out late. Because out late on a Thursday night is likely to be bad.]

[inordertobelieve]

[ Whenever Iago is making it to Mikami with this question, it's clear the green suit has found its owner. Mikami looks slightly more comfortable in his skin today than he has literally ever before. ]

I hope I can. I've got the gun, but I thought it wouldn't be wise to rely on only that. My recent gym workouts have been geared towards punching and kicking. I'm fairly resilient towards physical pain as a rule, too. I'll hold out.

[psychophant]

[Look at that, good job, Mikami!!]

She's certainly going to be expecting guns now. Keep it with you, just in case.

[As for the rest... Hmm.]

It would be best to allow those with weapons to take to the front lines, should such a thing be necessary.

[And then, without missing a beat:] I'm sure Cumore will teach you how to use a sword when you return to Terca Lumireis.

[inordertobelieve]

[ He's nodding at the battle assessment, both because it makes sense and because this is thing Iago is presumably very good at, but then....]

You never stop meddling, do you?

[ He is ROLLING his EYES at you, master tactician.]

Did Cumore not give you a piece of his mind?

[psychophant]

A master tactician considers every angle.

[he's from fire emblem, matchmaking is an essential part of the game!!!]

Oh, he did, don't worry. I don't plan on annoying you too much. Once more before the end is fair enough, isn't it?

[inordertobelieve]

[ Being a tactician and matchmaking have NO correlation to Mikami so this is getting a very blank look. ]

It was never fair to begin with, but at this point you've probably done all the damage you could have done.

[ This is NOT a challenge. ]

dining room

[baitless]

[..............there's just a whole lot going on here in general, from that fucking cursed chair to uh. uh.... uh???]

...

Where on earth did you get that.

[psychophant]

[seteth deserves none of this.]

You're more concerned about this than the chair?

[THAT CHAIR IS HORRIFYING this is just........ real weird.]

[baitless]

No, I am deeply concerned about both of them for somewhat different reasons.

[only somewhat, though. THEY LOOK LIKE BONES. THAT'S FOR A REASON.]

[psychophant]

Very well, we'll focus on this. [because the less he thinks about that horrible chair, the better!!] Is it yours?

[bawcock]

[ why are you cursing them with this chair ]

[psychophant]

[because if he can't have nice things then no one else can either ♥]

[bawcock]

[ rude ]

Hey, here's an idea! Why don't we burn this monstrosity before anyone else has to set eyes on it ever again?

[psychophant]

Feel free, I'm certainly not going to stop you. Though maybe move it somewhere else before you set it on fire.
