Week 2.

[trustmods]

WEEK 2 Two people are dead. Ken Kaneki has been murdered, Reaver has been executed - and perhaps most uncomfortably, the Conductor is proud of you all for adhering to due process. (As always, by which he means that there is a process, and you all are certainly doing it.) Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; come Sunday morning, the clock chimes the hour at seven o'clock and there are no dead bodies to be found, so it can be assumed that all of you are safe for the time being. That said, you'll be feeling a little groggy when you wake up; it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... However, once you've shaken that off, there are new things to be looked at; the previously closed-off area near the kitchen has been unlocked, and there's a new floor to be explored - consider it your reward for a job well done. PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 27

library;

Well, well, well. Taking me up on my suggestion, I see?

[ Asuka seems vaguely pleased to see a book she recognizes, though it doesn't appear to be in her native language... ]

What do you think of it?

[perpend]

It's not bad, noot bad at all! Some of the details are missing, though. It looks almost like the Conductor, or someone else went through and edited it before I was given the book.

Any time the setting is mentioned, it's been scratched out over so I can't read it.

Maybe it's just meant to irritate me.

[crimsonchin]

Really now? That's peculiar. ...If you were curious, it's set in a town called Kaisersaschern by the river Saale. Basically, it's southeast Germany. But Kaisersaschern is a fictional town, so I don't know why it would be scratched out...

Haunting, though, is it not?

[perpend]

It's not just the town-- any mentions to other cities, real cities are gone.

And it looks like someone decided to rename the demon.

[He flips through the book until he comes across a passage where the name is. It's been crossed out and written over. Whatever that name is,it's certainly not Mephistopheles.]

I don't think it means much of anything. It's just a... strange thing to do.

It's.... ceeertainly something, the book. Even with the edits.

[crimsonchin]

That's peculiar...I wonder why that would be. Though actually, I think it might work in the book's favor, all of that aside. To scratch out the names of people and places...perhaps it reflects Leverkühn losing his grip on the world around him, or perhaps simply not caring as he becomes more and more obsessed with Apocalypsis...

I'd apologize that German work is all so nihilistic, but, I'm not sorry at all.

[perpend]

Maybe it's to make sure we stay in the dark, I don't know. Maybe it disguises inconsistencies in this version. Not that I'd really know, since I can't read German to begin with.

[He manages a slight grin.]

Doon't worry about the nihilism; it's almost appropriate for a place like this, isn't it?
