Gatchapon

Reflexively, you curl tighter. Just another minute. Just another minute of sleep is all you need, but the sun waits for no one. Wait. The sun? After many days and nights with only moonlight to guide you, your eyes snap open and your pupils contract at the light.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Bask in this euphoria for however long it lasts, until your memory snaps back against your mind like a rubber band. Weren't you dead? No matter how you met your end, you certainly remember dying in vivid detail. The pain that corresponds to the last moment's of your life chooses then to make itself known, trying to wriggle free from your skin almost literally. That mark on your skin wasn't there before either.

Take a moment to breathe and get your bearings, and really take everything into focus. The warm rays of sun that dance upon your skin are colorful and fragmented like a kaleidoscope, the effect of being filtered through stained glass. Of all the places to wake up, it seems you're inside a church that's no stranger to you, St. Mary's Basilica. While the odds are good you've woken up with company somewhere near by, the glint of gold from the altar will likely catch your attention regardless—embedded deep in the altar stands a golden staff, two sculpted wings draped down its sides.

While some things are the same, and some things are different, there are still more questions than answers. But the inscription engraved into the roof of the ceiling of the Church, now visible in proper lighting seems rather apt: Welcome to Krakow (again).

[ ok well... if anything happens, he has grandpa. ]

Is this safe?

[tokihanate]

Um. Just... don't wander off. [ Because there's a bomb in here, someone said???]

[umbralant]

[ The pool and spa have already been covered, which leaves the front desk and the lounge to explore! ]

[contrabandit]

[ curiosity leads him to the front desk first! anything he should notice right away? ]

Well, I don't have any powers, so it's not like I'll die again.

[tokihanate]

Please don't say things like that.

[umbralant]

[ Nope! There's a computer here which currently has no power, as well as a room service menu and list of amenities. Looks like there's a grand ballroom on the 3rd floor. ]

[tokihanate]

Maybe we can power the hotel to use this thing...? [ Also peaks his head around all those other rooms if there's anything there. ]

[umbralant]

[ In that case welcome to the lounge. By now the boardgames and other fun games have been played with or opened in the height of party/trial city, so the only thing left to check out is the more mundane stuff. There are magazines which aren't exciting on their own, but these are on Krakow itself which is a pretty rare sight around here. ]

[tokihanate]

[ Time to flip through these magazines. Maybe something about those rumors are in here or some other important information. ]

[contrabandit]

[ crowds hyoubu so he can look, too! ]

[umbralant]

[ No rumors, and no important information at first glance. But what is in the magazine is a picture of the main square, lit up in normal sunlight with people milling about. By now, it might be weird to see Krakow like this, considering you're more used to a desolate, darker view.

And what was said last night about differences, again? ]

[tokihanate]

[ The people.. and the darkness? ]

[contrabandit]

It... looks like tip of the clock tower is glowing in the sunlight. And in the other picture... No windows [ or solar energy panels? who knows. ] and the addition of some trees, three street lamps, and two benches?

[tokihanate]

Hmm. I don't think it's glowing. It's... something? [ He squints. ] Should we go look in person?

[contrabandit]

Let's check the grand ballroom on the 3rd floor first. [ goes?! ]

[tokihanate]

Okay, let's see what else is here first. [ But in the meanwhile will grab the magazine to ponder and compare when they go to the site. ]

[contrabandit]

[ whoops, they find nothing new of note at the ballroom, so time to hunt differences. ]

Disappointing. I don't suppose you're willing to do the legwork on your own.

[ he's not a fan of all this exercise. ]

[tokihanate]

[ He chuckles. ] It's fine, I'll go see. Don't go near the ledges and stuff when we get there, ookay?

[contrabandit]

No promises!
