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. ]

Another . . . ?

[Blinks. And blinks again.]

You're . . . a . . .

[freckledninja]

Turtle.

[nyanotech]

[Her tail swishes back and forth and back and forth, ears perked forward.]

And a ninja?

[freckledninja]

Sure am!

Are you a doctor?

[nyanotech]

More like a professor.

[freckledninja]

Ohhhh!

[nyanotech]

Seems like there's all kinds of people here. From all kinds of places.

[freckledninja]

Yeah! Sherlock Holmes is here even!

[nyanotech]

It's a good place for a mystery.

"The case of the missing Twelveheart".

[freckledninja]

What even is a twelveheart?

[nyanotech]

If we knew, we might know why he's saying we stole it.

[freckledninja]

It's not a real uh heart. Right?

[nyanotech]

I'd remember taking a real heart. Wouldn't you?

[freckledninja]

I don't think we took anything.

[nyanotech]

Sometimes people pick things up by accident.

Dismantling something by accident is harder.

[freckledninja]

...

I don't really have many places to hide things. You know?

[nyanotech]

You don't?

[Her tail swishes back and forth, back and forth.]

[freckledninja]

[looks down at self....]

Nope.

[nyanotech]

I guess you're innocent then.

What's your name?

[freckledninja]

Michelangelo.

[nyanotech]

After the painter?

[freckledninja]

Yeah! My brothers and I are all named after art dudes!

[nyanotech]

[TAILSWISH talking to a really alive teenage mutant ninja turtle!]

Are you here alone?

[freckledninja]

Raph's here, but that's it.

Don't mind his mean face, it's the only face he has!
