CHAPTER 6

CHAPTER 6




The dead now outnumber the living.

There's only one area that stayed a mystery until now. A new path revealed itself, leading to another town, surrounded by sturdy stone walls. Even from some distance away you can see the tower, rising high towards the skies. The path that leads to the city turns into gold before long, and the sky itself seems to take a beautiful tone, like it's painted with watercolors. It's such a peaceful-looking town, welcoming you with open gates. It must be nice to have another urban setting, after living in the same place for so long.

But no matter what you find it doesn't change the situation you're in. Now that your numbers are dwindling that's impossible to forget.

The story is nearing its end. There still are a handful of pages left. What will they bring?

[[Welcome to Week 6! 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; this is the last week for murder proposals as week 7 is endgame. Also, please note the shop's discount on magnifying glasses! ]]

Ah... [ A slight pause, but he nods. ] All right, if you'd like.
gemuinemanagement: (I would I would I would I would)

[Nod! Up they go, then - slowly so as not to tire Phil out.]

How are you doing
biqe: (tomorrow he's older than today)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-07-07 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably not much worse than anyone else.

[ Collapsing on the stairs probably implies otherwise, but, you know. ]

How about you?
gemuinemanagement: (remember me)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-07 01:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm OK
Mostly worried about other people right now
Last trial was hard
biqe: (all the stupid lies i hide behind)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-07-07 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes... it was. I'm still not really sure how I feel about it.
gemuinemanagement: (on a screen you sit at permanently)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-07 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I never come out of one of these feeling happy
But I think if we had executed Alexei I'd feel worse
biqe: (staying home can't be that bad for me)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-07-07 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
My reasoning at the time was based more on how Raven would feel, since Alexei seemed to be fully accepting of the idea himself. ...I don't know if that was the right way of looking at it either, though.
gemuinemanagement: (why don't you mind)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-07 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought
That if our positions were reversed
And I were trying to sacrifice myself for someone else
Alexei wouldn't let me
biqe: (invisible reasons)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-07-07 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
And I thought that if Marcus and I were in their positions, I wouldn't want him taking the fall for something I did, so surely Raven wouldn't want that either.

...But we're all different people. Being in the same position as someone doesn't mean your feelings are the same as theirs, and it doesn't mean the nuances of your situation are the same.
gemuinemanagement: (let's join forces)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-07 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't
But we can only do as well as we know how

There wasn't a good answer
But I'm satisfied with my vote
