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! ]]

I suppose that probably is a convenient way for a society to let itself off the hook for that sort of thing, if they present heaven as some ultimate reward...

[ That's at least one thing that he doesn't think was ever too much of a problem in his own world... though he could see the Empire potentially pitching a similar angle now to make it sound like all the sacrifices for Nibelung's restoration would be worth it. ]

...A-anyway, if we assume that emblem represents a collection of fairy tales of which Hamelin's story is only one part, does that mean that he's likewise only one part of some larger collective that's behind what's happening here?

[ Okay, McGillis will have mercy and not let this conversation spiral into the depressing topic of society's evil. Though he'd not mind that. Society is bad and it should feel bad! ]

I would not be surprised if so. He does appear beholden to a lot of rules himself and I doubt his fairytale is the only one that would spark a personification like himself.
