CHAPTER 5

monday

wednesday

thursday

Almost half of the non-fairy population of Aira Niluc is gone.

Some may be feeling the absence of their fellow participants in this story. Others will stay focused on the wish they want to get. What never changes is that the story goes on, bringing you closer to the end -- and to another chapter. What will it bring this time?

Snow!

Snow as far as the eye can see, a cold blanket covering the new area. Some winter amenities are now available, ready for perusal! But that's not all there's to find: everyone also will find reminders of their homes, of people they know, of happier times.

Of their wishes.

Who will try to reach their wish this time?

[[Welcome to Week 5! 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.]]

That's an awfully neutral way to say that.

[She looks at him, more baffled than suspicious or angry.]

"There are forces that want to make it so" and "there is a way to end this." Neither says anything about you. Do you believe in the words that were addressed to you?

[heroicact]

Is it? I stated directly what I believed -- and what you mentioned is exactly what I am convinced of, despite anything that Hamelin or our correspondence with the dead may have said to the contrary.

There is a force that wishes for everything here to continue. It forced the continuation of that execution. I do not know if it is the exact same creature you saw, but the more we learn, the more it seems as though Hamelin may be beholden to it. Therefore, Hamelin must believe what he is saying, himself.

That does not necessarily mean that what he says is the truth.

But that also opens up the possibility that there is a truth beyond the one seemingly in charge of us. Therefore: there is a force we do not yet understand, and perhaps a way to confront that force that we also do not understand. It may be difficult in the midst of everything we are being forced to do here -- but I think we can find the real root of why this realm is so warped.
