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. ]

Ah, so you're not just a robot-ninja, you're a movie enthusiast as well.

A guy's gotta have some pleasures in life. When he's not getting flung into some alternate clockwork town reality, that is.

What about you? Other than the total lack of cyborgs, it sounds like we're at least familiar with the same things.

I'm a journalist—I don't really have a lot of time for movies or television these days, but I take a lot of long flights.

Journalist, huh...

I'm guessing you don't know what that guy's talking about, with this Twelve Heart business.
