week 1

[Well, all escape attempts have failed thus far. None of you have seen the Phantom since his brief appearance on Sunday, or heard from him at all. It looks like, for the time being, you’re all going to be stuck here.

You're free to continue exploring your surroundings to your hearts' content. The only real restriction on your movements is that the kitchen is closed between the hours of 10 pm and 7 am. Better make sure to grab any midnight snacks you may want ahead of time. Also, remember to label any investigation toplevels!

The Merchandise Booth is now open for business as well! The Phantom hasn't deigned to explain how it works, but...well, some of you will start to find mysterious coins in your rooms, and the Booth's got a place to put coins. You'll figure it out.

Should you wish to engage more with your host, you're welcome to drop letters in the box office slot. There's no set way to converse verbally with him, and he's certainly not guaranteed to respond if you just yell at the walls - but that doesn't necessarily mean he isn't listening. Just something to keep in mind.

Enjoy your first week, everyone.]


Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday


(( OOC: This will be the last mod post for this week! Feel free to start submitting regains for any threads that aren't with the Phantom. Remember, song threads mean an extra coin! This is a peace week, so get all that CR while you can! ))

[Richard, who pack bonds immediately with anyone who treats him with kindness (whether they feel like they have to or not) brightens and preens a little bit at being called 'dear friend.']

Well, surely there's some kind of middle ground. I certainly wouldn't mind it being dark in the bedrooms.

A fair point! [He hadn't really thought about that. He's gotten good at sleeping in all kinds of situations while traveling. Extra light is just one thing.]

I suppose if it's enough of a bother, it could be broken. But surely there is a way to turn it off without absolutely destroying it.

[Investigating the Opera house? Discovering why they're there? No way! It's time to investigate how lights work!]

[Richard has slept on a pirate ship and in the woods but he is still not used to rough living in any shape or form.]

If you can find such a way, then certainly be my guest, my good man. I will tell you, blowing them out is definitely not the way to go.

[Ariel looks from Richard, up to the "candle" and then back down. He nods very sagely.]

Excellent advice, my fellow scholar. [A beat, before Ariel lowers his voice. He doesn't want to startle his new friend with this very important information.]

I've heard tell that they're made of lightning. In a manner of speaking, of course. Harnessed electricity, used to power towns! Can you believe it?

[Richard's eyebrows arch high up his regal forehead.]

Lightning? Why, that's remarkable! Then it isn't fire at all? But it's so hot to the touch!

Wait a minute... You're not making fun of me, are you?
revelfree: (>:V)

[personal profile] revelfree 2020-07-01 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Not fire -- or perhaps not just fire. I imagine if lightning can set fire to a tree, it could be the cause of some sort of fire here.

[He shakes his head quickly, almost looking offended.]

Pursuits of knowledge are of the utmost importance to me. I would never joke about it

[personal profile] superbeliever 2020-07-02 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's good!

[Richard grins, putting an arm around Ariel's shoulders and patting his chest with the other hand.]

Because if you were making fun of me I could totally have you killed.

Now tell me more about the jars of lightning!

[Well that's not... terrifying........ at all...........]

Steven the younger says that the lightning is pooled in sockets, which should not be touched. They are connected by... wires, I believe. There are towns that are simply covered in these wires.

Lightning in jars, for everyone! No need to worry about candlelight becoming firelight.

Very interesting!

...Did he say anything about how to turn the lightning off.
revelfree: (:D)

[personal profile] revelfree 2020-07-02 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. No, I'm afraid we didn't get to that part but... [He brightens up.]

The small, red one -- she and I rotated a few dials on one of the devices in the kitchen. It caused water to flow. Perhaps the reverse might be true; if we locate the right dial, we can turn the lights off?

[With a final pat to the chest he lets Ariel go.]

Maybe a lever, or... a button?
revelfree: (8D)

[personal profile] revelfree 2020-07-02 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
That, or perhaps even a -- [He trails off. There's a spark in his eyes, a piece put together. He breaks away from his new friend and all but sprints to his room.]

Come now, good man!
superbeliever: (♚ ⚔ 054 ⚔ ♚)

[personal profile] superbeliever 2020-07-05 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Um- Coming!

[Richard runs after him.]

Why are we running?

[Ariel flings the door open and stands just a few feet in. He motions very proudly to a switch. He flicks it a few times.]

See now?

[Richard furrows his brow at the tiny lever when Ariel first gestures to it.]

I don't-

[And then Ariel flicks it and the lights go out, and Richard gasps loudly. When Ariel flicks it back on, Richard jumps in place and claps his hands excitedly.]

That's amazing! Such a tiny lever can make it dark and light so quickly!
revelfree: (>:O)

[personal profile] revelfree 2020-07-06 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
I will have to speak to one of the others -- one of the Stephens, perhaps -- as to how it works. But a way of simply turning electricity on and off? It's truly incrdible, don't you think?

[Sorry he's gonna... sit here and play with it a minute.]
superbeliever: (♚ ⚔ 073 ⚔ ♚)

[personal profile] superbeliever 2020-07-07 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, it's quite remarkable. What else here do you think runs on this "electricity?"
