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! ]]

So that is... the third entity that we know of? Hamelin, the mirror creature, and then this Red. It would be truly helpful if we knew the relationships between them, or even the relationships between those working for them. As is, I truly don't know what to do with the communications from the dead; thanks to your information, the only 'role' we understand at the moment is Raven's.

I don't think we can expect any others to speak up about it, either; I only knew of Raven's because he takes orders from me.

[...Discussing Raven tends to be a weird combination of past and present tense; just...let him do it, he'll get there eventually.]

[It's fine, it's fine! He probably notices, but it's not the important thing here.]

So in the end, it seems that we will always have incomplete information both from the living and the dead. Certainly, I understand the need for secrecy -- as do we all -- as well as the limitations on the other side. But I think our friends on the other side... underestimate the pressures faced by those still here.

They are able to be much more united, and share information within themselves much more freely, after all.

[It's like listening to a dozen vuvuzelas playing the same thing every week on dead letter day...]
