[It's been almost a week since Orthrus' lucky escape. Almost a week, of all calls to Heisenberg going (metaphorically) to voicemail. Almost a week, to rest and recover from the harrowing losses of the previous Friday.

It's been almost a week. And the storms are getting worse.

You know the locked door on the first floor? The one that goes into the center of the tower, right across from the great entry hall doors?

Today, there's a heavy iron key sticking out of the lock. With a familiar crest on the head.

The key is sticky with wet yellow paint, and wetter blood.]

[With one last mass nightmare like a parting blow, anyone who goes back to sleep afterward will find the rest of their dreams unbothered.

Which may or may not be more worrisome than the nightmares, upon waking.

The first few floors, at least, seem blissfully quiet. But it never hurts to check...]

[Heisenberg's threat seems like ages ago with the excitement of Wednesday's festivities and Hubert's near explosive demise.

Nevertheless it is Friday again.

The tower is peaceful, almost eerily so. Will it last? Probably not.]

[Having a name now to go with the mysterious Alchemist is a small consequence at the end of another week, with yet another motive dangling overhead.

Nonetheless, Friday comes. And the morning, or at least the dorms, seem quiet.

Maybe that's a good sign?]

[As if the Alchemist's "reading" wasn't a tempting enough offer, Bruno's prophecy hangs over the proceedings, a guarantee that becomes more and more certain with each day that passes.

And now it's Friday again.

Well, at least the peace is disturbed pretty much right off the bat - the occupants of the tower are disturbed by a loud, repeated barking.]

[Friday again? Oh dear...

It’s entirely possible that the ruthless murder last week was a fluke. A one-off incident that, with the perpetrator dead and dissolved into purple smoke, leaves the surviving apprentices free to try and live out the next 28 days without further bloodshed.

But it’s been a few days since the Alchemist’s motive and just like last week the tower feels deathly still and eerily quiet as people roll out of bed to start their day.]

[On Friday morning, the second Friday for the Thanatos Institute apprentices in the tower, the outside sun rises and spreads its light through the arrow slit windows in the tower’s stone walls. People rise from their beds, some earlier risers than others, and shuffle along to begin their day.

Things are quiet, even with the lowkey air of anxiety that’s lingered since Tuesday when the Alchemist made his offer and Bryn attacked Bruno with an animalistic fervor. It’s probably fine, this hanging silence in the air.

Probably.]
