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. ]

"Heartbreaker Joan," hmmm, it does have a certain ring to it!

[dedoctionist]

Look ...

[thevineintervention]

Hmm?

[dedoctionist]

I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just not interested.

[thevineintervention]

And so my heart is broken.

[dedoctionist]

[ugh]

... So what's your name?

[thevineintervention]

Aerta Ferham, oh Heavenly Joan!

[dedoctionist]

... Just Joan.

[thevineintervention]

Just Joan, just Joan . . . mm, like the ring of bell, or the pluck of a cord. But no! Not even that is enough to capture her beauty!

[dedoctionist]

This isn't happening ...

[thevineintervention]

Certainly such a shining goddess must be accustom to such things! Maidens must faint! Men must fawn! I simply wouldn't believe otherwise.

[dedoctionist]

Stop—just stop right there, please.

[thevineintervention]

But-

[dedoctionist]

Just Joan. No other descriptions.
