SECOND TRIAL

[ Once enough time has passed to gather the appropriate information, Davy Jones once again moves to collect any stragglers who don't make it back to the theatre. ]

Step lively, same procedure as the last time!

[ Before long he plays that same complicated song on the organ and, crowded into the elevator, you all descend once more into the depths of the ship. But you might notice as you head down... there's more room in the elevator than there was before, with three of you gone now. Not much, but still. It's noticeable.

The sound of another shanty echoes from the Dutchman below as the elevator reaches its destination, that same foreboding glass room at the very base of the vessel. The sea is dark about you.

The circle of podiums is largely unchanged, though Shard and Adeline's have joined Carmen's in looking nigh hundreds of years older than all the others, rusting and covered in bivalves and seaweed. ]


Ye all seem to have caught on quick to what to do. I be here if any inquiries burn too fiercely.

[ The Captain is late again, it seems, but things are set to start anyway.

Welcome to your second trial. ]

She was merely damp, not soaked. So it had been some time since she was submerged, but not enough to completely dry off.

[Constantine nods, eyebrows furrowing.]

I think we should consider the idea that she might've jumped off the side of the ship herself. After all, she did it before, and...she might've taken a shine to the kraken.

...Was there any seawater around to indicate, uh, this?
cethflayn: (War is breaking out again...is it not?)

[personal profile] cethflayn 2021-02-13 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
There may have been. I did not see for myself.

[She gave Adeline one last token of friendship before going off to find tissues for her roommate, there was a lot on Flayn's mind.]
ignobel: (what's with the lighting on this ship)

[personal profile] ignobel 2021-02-13 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
She was running around the ship with a creature, right? She seems to like those things, but didn't the kraken eat Shard the last time?

[Is it really a helpful creature, the Kraken is not a Pokemon..... Allenby is still trying to tame her hair at this point. Oversleeping is not her strong suit.]
onlyyoucan: Moment of vulnerability. (nobody likes me everybody hates me)

[personal profile] onlyyoucan 2021-02-13 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
When it was commanded to. It didn't eat anyone who tried to escape off the ship, just threw them back.
ignobel: (¿¿¿¿???)

[personal profile] ignobel 2021-02-13 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, but it's still a thing that's commanded to eat people. I was talking more about why she'd like it enough to go say hello.

[Or at least that's how she took Constantine's explanation, oops.]

She and I have spoken about the creature before. She wished to try and communicate with it.
ignobel: (no me gusta señorain)

[personal profile] ignobel 2021-02-13 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
What, seriously? Like somebody in a movie or something?

[Allenby somebody talking to animals isn't just confined to movies.]

So she was going to try and talk it into helping her last night or something...? You think it worked?

[Everyone seems to be thinking it worked somehow.]

I do not believe we have any evidence to support that.

[He was more suggesting that she'd tried to game the Kraken system a little.]
ignobel: (how it's going)

[personal profile] ignobel 2021-02-13 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't even know what that evidence would look like...

[Fair but also Allenby is still trying to picture how this gaming would work. All she's seen is Constantine getting yeeted like a basketball.]
onlyyoucan: Reaching out, calling while straining to get free. (can everything i love stop leaving pleas)

[personal profile] onlyyoucan 2021-02-13 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Like you said, she likes monsters. And the Kraken's as much a prisoner as Jones and company -- and us. She probably thought she could befriend the thing. There's also that theory that she was escaping from the person she was fighting.
ignobel: (A is also not for Arrest)

[personal profile] ignobel 2021-02-13 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know if it counts as a prisoner if it's just getting food and free entertainment......

[All these people leaping into its arms for beach volleyball(??) have to be some kind of entertainment at this point.]

It doesn't sound like much of an escape, but maybe?
onlyyoucan: Disappointed, hurt. (fml.)

[personal profile] onlyyoucan 2021-02-13 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Even getting to a different part of the ship could help her get away from the person after her.
