Day 1 Night

[12npcs]

[ Over the murmur of conversations, explorations and violent attempts at escape, there comes a sound tick tick tick tick tick.............. CLICK.... The sky above snaps across the dome from blue to black... and everything goes dark.

A glow comes from the front door of each of the inns and one by one, you can see street lanterns begin to light up steadily past each of the gates.

The only flickering, organic light comes from above in the tower, spluttering high, high above everyone, through the slats of the closed shutters. After a moment, it's gone. ]

Ehhhhh, kinda depends on what's going on. I trust you're smart enough to scram if there's trouble?

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[devotedtothecore]

The same. Though there was one more: "joy". Do you remember the numbers?

[charmed_life]

Right? I fear that the next sunrise will be as equally abrupt.

[soul_sister]

I've been meaning to ask you. You said something before. Something about a card the hands tried to give you?

The kitchen, scrubbing pots.

Most of the dishes didn't survive.

[Glances back at Chrono, checking the phone lines.]

Looks like we're cut off. Predictable.

Do you not have a limited number of those?

[tonewlengths]

The one with the cracked mirror? What about it?

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[allsneakandnoplay]

What's the plan? Just stay together? Something is keeping us here.

I don't intend to sit still and allow myself to be eviscerated, if that's what you had in mind.

Seeing the sort of opposition we're likely to face first-hand would enlightening. That's all.

[12npcs]

[You DO at least, get that one, solitary consolation.

It just doesn't do anything, either.]
