Day 1 Night

[ 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. ]

Engineer, huh? That'll come in handy here.

Well, not as much so without tools.

[ ughhhh all the equipment left at home 8[ ]

Finding tools can be one of our top priorities.

[ sigh ]

...I would appreciate it. Given what seems to be the nature of this "town".

Yeah. There've gotta be some around somewhere in a place like this.

Did you find anything of interest so far?

Just the signs on the other inns. It looks like we've been sorted somehow.

...sorted...

[ ! ]

--that reminds me-- about the dealer's cards you saw. Besides the knight, did you see any others?

Some flames, an empty, a death . . . What about you?

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

. . . Ace and ten of flames, twwoooo of empty?? And a seven of death.

... [ nods ]

Tell Miss Elena. She has a notebook, and this may be worth recording.

Mikey probably doesn't remember his.

...

[ leveling what is probably the same look at Mikey ]

You'll get used to him. Just don't forget he's got the brains of a goldfish.

[...looks up from across the room where he's examining a shiny rock Rush gave him]

...

. . . See what I mean?

...

Mikey? Do you remember any details of the cards you were dealt?

Flames, joy, empty queen, joy ace.

. . . What about the numbers on the first two?

Uh....the joy was lucky seven.

....

[ well that was a surprise ]

The other....?

It was really low.

Probably cuz I'm not as hotheaded as Raph!
