DAWN WATCH

Today, when Shinobu is in her bedroom, she will receive a message on her typewriter.

Have you ever had one of those dreams where you awaken suddenly because you feel like you're falling?

Not a dream. Wake up call!

Immediately after she finishes reading the message, a trap door opens underneath Shinobu, plunging her into the darkness. When she wakes up at the bottom (?), bones miraculously not broken, she will find herself in a room.

It's a room she's never seen before, arching ceilings and starry-skied windows dotting each wall. A collection of bookcases, alchemy shelves and astronomy tools can be found here for perusal, though nothing can leave this room. A crescent moon-shaped window takes up a majority of the wall directly across from the entrance. Perched on the window seat is Gemini, a worn-out map in their hands.

"You certainly took your time, didn't you."

At a large mahogany desk in the center of the room, papers spread out in front of them, Aquila sits in a comfortable looking chair, elbows resting on the desk, chin perched in their gloved hand. You get the sense they might be smiling.

"Rise and shine. We've got work to do. Or, well... "

With a flick of their hand, Aquila opens a sheaf of papers labeled PARTICIPATION CONTRACT: ADDENDUM and turns it towards Shinobu.

"You've got a little extra work to do. Congrats on being qualified! I wouldn't recommend refusing. Now then - blue or black ink?"

[ your role npcs love you dearly miss shinobu ♥

shinobu may see a coffin with an open lid in the labyrinth! but they can't stay very long, as the labyrinth is long and complicated, and they have so little time before the morning comes.

in the penthouse, she finds no one sleeping, and nothing out of place. and in the casino shinobu finds no one sleeping and nothing out of place.

as they hit all three locations, the sun is beginning to rise further and further. gemini and aquila will escort shinobu back to her gravesite, where they will let her down as gently as possible and rebury her so she can be unearthed by her CR later. well done, dawn watch! ]
