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. ]

[glances up, watching the sky switch over for a moment before continuing her examination of those stationary guards]

For all that guy's complaining about us being here, he's sure making it hard to get out.

[stunningdragoon]

I think asking for a sensible course of action might be something that's a bit beyond him.

[charmed_life]

Do you think he is behind all this?

[stunningdragoon]

He seems to have about as much knowledge of how we arrived here as we do.

[charmed_life]

Someone else then.

[Prodding one of the lamps]

Or something.

[stunningdragoon]

I suppose only time will tell.

[giving up on the guard now]

[charmed_life]

[And the gates. Man, they really don't want us to leave here]

Time...

[Jostles herself out of her thoughts]

I'm Asellus, by the way. Might as well get the introductions out of the way if we are going to be stuck here together.

[stunningdragoon]

Judith. Which one did you wake up in?

[charmed_life]

The kitchen, scrubbing pots.

Most of the dishes didn't survive.

[stunningdragoon]

Oh my. What sort of fate did they suffer?

[charmed_life]

Shattered. I guess in hindsight it's not a very interesting story.

And where did you-- [A pause, and for lack of a better way to describe it] wake up?

[stunningdragoon]

The dining room, I believe. Although the food was hardly palatable.

[charmed_life]

No? What was wrong with it?
