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! ]]

No, they just come that way with one empty space in the box for no reason.

[YEAGER...]

Maybe Hamelin ate it!

[oh my god.]

As much as I wouldn't put it past him, I think he'd be gloating about it if he were the one responsible.

[Why. Why this.]
scythegun: (OH MY ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-07-09 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Ja, it's true, he is the sort, isn't he? Then that means the culprit is still on the loose!

[because yeager is aggressively silly.]

I might even be persuaded to part with one or two if someone wanted to help me track them down... to teach them a lesson, of course. Can't have them thinking they can get away with something like that again.

[Smile smile!]
scythegun: (INDIFFERENT ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-07-09 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, certainly not! You would be well within your rights to teach them a lesson they won't soon forget~!

[personal profile] mirrite 2021-07-09 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Glad you agree.

[And sliding into that seat, because hey, he knows an invitation when he sees one.]

You can go ahead and take one as an advance payment if you'd like.
scythegun: (RELAXED ⇝ hahaha wow)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-07-09 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
You're far too kind~

[Which means that yes, he will indeed take a second one, and will absolutely accept the next sparring match we have for your missing cake's honor!!!!]

[personal profile] mirrite 2021-07-09 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Good because he's going to be out for blood--

He'll also help himself to one and then grab that drink.]


Speaking of stealing, I hope I'm not about to help myself to someone else's drink here.

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-07-09 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Go for it! Yeager gestures with a laugh.]

You aren't! It's just an old habit, I suppose.

[Setting out a second drink and waiting for someone to show up, that is.]
mirrite: (6)

[personal profile] mirrite 2021-07-09 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? Sorry I'm not a pretty girl, then.

[...]

... or a single guy.

[No judgment from him, given. Well. You know.]
scythegun: (GREETING ⇝ guten tag motherfuckers)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-07-09 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[It gets a laugh out of him and he waves a hand.]

Congratulations on the boyfriend, by the way!

[no one here is surprised, but hey you guys admitted it thanks to never have i ever and that's wonderful!!!]
mirrite: (8)

[personal profile] mirrite 2021-07-09 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, that earns a groan, but it's fair, he totally set himself up for this.]

Not the way I was planning to admit to that, but thanks.

[I mean, it... could have been worse?? Maybe??]
scythegun: (NOD ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-07-09 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
I think many of us were assuming it anyway, so all things considered, that wasn't a bad way to do it!

[Definitely not a great way, but it could have been worse!!]
mirrite: (3)

[personal profile] mirrite 2021-07-09 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[... YOU KNOW WHAT? He's just gonna be throwing that shot back.

Give him a moment here.]
scythegun: (FAKE ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-07-09 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[He at least has the decency not to laugh again but like. He's definitely considering it!!!!]
mirrite: (11)

[personal profile] mirrite 2021-07-09 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[THANKS FOR (sort of) BEING A BRO? He appreciates it.]

... now you know why I said what I said the other day.
scythegun: (COY ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-07-09 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[that's the most you can expect from him!!!! he's a fair-weather bro.]

I do, ja! I did suspect as much at the time, so I'm pleased to know I was right~

[...okay yeah that's definitely more joking, how was he supposed to resist!!]
mirrite: (9)

[personal profile] mirrite 2021-07-09 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[RIP whatever remained of his dignity... implying that he had any left in the first place.]

In other words, you're saying we were the only ones who didn't know that everyone else already knew.
scythegun: (FAKE ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-07-09 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Correct~! ☆

[You can practically hear the star at the end of it.]

It's hardly a bad thing, we're all just paying very close attention!

[Partially because we're bored, partially because we're all nosy tbh.]
mirrite: (21)

[personal profile] mirrite 2021-07-09 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[... I mean, fair. There aren't all that many interesting non-death or betrayal related developments around here...]

It'd be nice if everyone could pay that much attention to things that weren't my relationship status...
scythegun: (INDIFFERENT ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-07-09 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[see!!!]

You ask far too much of us.

[it's a joke though!!!!!]
mirrite: (8)

[personal profile] mirrite 2021-07-09 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[IS IT THOUGH!!!]

Okay, enough about me. Now it's my turn to ask nosy questions about you.
scythegun: (GRIN ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-07-09 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Is that what we're doing? Okay, I'll humor you~!

[will you actually get any answers...??? ehhhhhhhh.]
