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. ]

[A smile spreads across her face—this is definitely Nate, not some dream facsimile thereof. Most of that trivia was new to her.]

Fairy tale, huh? If only we had a trail of breadcrumbs.

[Still poking and prodding the automaton, he chuckles under his breath. Whatever this is, real or not, if he starts going along with it then he'll either wake up or they can leave this place.]

Think we're going to need more than breadcrumbs. We need to find that 'twelve heart.' [He gestures at the tower.] 'Course it'd be a lot easier if this guy would come down and talk to us.

[tearsinnajar]

Yeah, that's what I was starting to figure. That might be the only leverage that will do anything for this guy.

Well we're not accomplishing anything standing around here waiting. Let's go have a look around. Maybe we'll find some clues about where this 'heart' went. Or where Sully is.
