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. ]

No thanks.

[thevineintervention]

As you will, then.

[snappingturtle]

. . . What's your deal?

[thevineintervention]

Hmm?

[snappingturtle]

You know, what's with you? Why aren't you freaked out by any of this?

[thevineintervention]

Why...?


Well, life is just kind of strange, you know?

[snappingturtle]

This goes way beyond "kind of strange".

[thevineintervention]

And sometimes, life is really quite strange.


Mm, but don't mind me. It's fine if you're upset. You can be mad if you like.

[snappingturtle]

I don't need permission for that!

[thevineintervention]

Of course you don't! Mm! Good for you!

[snappingturtle]

. . .

[thevineintervention]

Yes, just like that.
