CHAPTER 4

The story continues onward. In the span of another week, another four people perished. Your numbers have been diminishing more and more, making the world a little more empty.

At least the rumored giant peach that had been seen for a while is finally unveiled, in the middle of a lake surrounded by smaller yet still ridiculously large fruits. The landscape is idyllic and nonsensical, in par with the drunken escapades of last week. Given the everything that was this past weekend, why not sail on one of the magically operated rowboats and explore what this new area has to offer? You could even take a bite out one of the abundant normal-sized peaches floating around, if you're so inclined.

[[Welcome to Week 4! Feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. However, please try to keep investigations to Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday! You can also privately contact Hamelin at your leisure.

In addition, a reminder that any Murder Proposals for this week are due by Tuesday 3:00 PM EST/12:00 PM PST! However, please note that you have the option of submitting murder proposals for a later week as well.]]

[ The first thing McGillis notices in walking past is the meat suit and that is what initially gives him pause, but then he gets instantly distracted by the mask instead.

He's just kind of engaged in a staring contest with it for a second. ]

... I shouldn't be surprised, I suppose.

Is it yours It's very bold

[He's not sure if it's fashionable, but it's definitely interesting?]

Mhm. It is.

[ Both his and very bold. ]

I used to wear it to go incognito sometimes.

[ And hey, he'll put it on and the attached wig as well! Because why not! ]

Totally different person, right?

[Wow! He claps - total transformation!!]

Thank you, thank you. Not that I will get much use out of it here, it's not as though I need to hide my identity.

[ Nor would he be able to do it very efficiently, with Suga being totally aware the mask and wig are his... ]

Are you really famous It must be hard if you have to disguise yourself to avoid being bothered

People of influence have learned to pick out the members of the Seven Stars families, certainly. It pays off to have good contacts into Gjallarhorn's higher ranks after all.

[ ... ]

I admit, I also just like how the mask looks.

It does look cool You could wear it to a fancy masquerade

[ McGillis nods and looks about to say something more as his gaze falls onto a book that had so far been in a difficult angle for him to see. That's...

The Life of Agnika Kaieru.

The whole reason he's spent shop crystal after shop crystal on mysterious items, on the flimsy hope that is would be returned to him. ]

... that is mine.

[ The sudden gravity in his voice is tangible. ]

[Ah. Suga nods, and holds the book out to him.]

[ McGillis takes the book and grips it so tightly that the tension in his hands is visible. ]

Thank you. I'd been hoping to find it in the shop this entire time.

[Hmm. It definitely seems important, but Suga can't imagine why a book would matter that much - unless.]

It's not also cursed is it Like C-ta's book?

[ That gets a huff of amusement out of McGillis, though he's certainly gripping his book like Gollum would grip the Ring nevertheless. ]

Oh, no. Don't worry, this book is entirely ordinary. It's a rare print, of course, but its value to me is primarily sentimental.

That's a relief I'm glad you got it back then

I found this book during a very dark period of my life. It gave me the strength to keep going.

[ So it's probably... obvious why such a comfort object would be desired espedcially now. ]

I understand Take good care of it I hope it brings you some comfort
