third loop

[cancrymods]

SUPERBIA

On midnight of the fourteenth day, it happens again. Time rewinds itself back to the Executors' starting point, putting them right back at the beginning of the loop. This is now their third time experiencing the events of the two-week Superbia loop and while they've made some good progress on the investigation, they still have a ways to go in bringing it to and end and escaping. Use this log to investigate during this two-week time period and drop a comment down to the Investigation Request subheader if you'd like to explore. If you're continuing or building off of a previous loop's investigation results, please link to it in your comment. If you need a refresher on the loop mechanics, check out this post. Good luck, Executors.

[There’s a blonde peeking in the doorway, a touch of nervousness on her face. It’s only a touch, though.]

Hi. I’m Etoile; I’m new to this whole thing.

[Medic waves cheerfully from where she's sitting when she sees her. She's not super reassuring, but at least she's familiar.]

[etincelledefierte]

Hey, Medic. How are you doing this loop?

[schardynfreude]

Oh! Another to add to our ranks! Have you met Amber? We've recently acquired him as well~

[etincelledefierte]

I have! We talked at lunch before things reset.

[schardynfreude]

Brilliant! Perhaps the more loops we take, the more students will awaken, hm? [chiron i don't think that's how it works-]

[etincelledefierte]

About that. How many loops has it been for you so far? This is the second that I’m aware of.

[schardynfreude]

This is the second time it's looped, so this will be our third time through. Unless we're forgetting something, but I think so early on we'd remember.

[etincelledefierte]

[she frowns, as if she’s trying to remember something, but it doesn’t come to her.]

Do you know if time was looping before you got to this - what’s the word - layer?

[schardynfreude]

It's a fair assumption to make. If you're asking if you've been here a while, the answer is most likely yes. Though time is...rather tricky in Purgatory.

[etincelledefierte]

I see…I take it that’s why my memories are all fuzzy, or not there at all?

[daughterofthemark]

It's wonderful to meet you, Dame Etoile. I am Royal Veil.

...I'm not clear on what makes me "royal."

[etincelledefierte]

Please, call me Etoile.

[she’ll smile and extend a hand.]

It’s good to meet you. I think all our memories might be a little bit fuzzy, so don’t worry about that part.

[daughterofthemark]

Very well, Dame Etoile. And you may simply call me Veil.

[Yep.

Veil accepts and shakes the offered hand! They are FRIENDS now.]

In all honesty, I'd not even thought to question it until recently.

[etincelledefierte]

[they absolutely are!!]

I don’t blame you. I would probably have done the same thing, honestly. I still haven’t questioned why the name I remember means ‘Star’. I probably should, once I have some memories back.
