WEEK 5

[bathymetric]

Sunday arrives again. Even knowing the true face of your captor, Captain Jack, can't seem to stop that. The ship carries on through the Bermuda Triangle as normal. Or at least what passes for normal, out here.

As seems to be a running theme, a new floor of the ship is now open to you, this one a little tackier than the last, as well as a new section of the topdeck. The cycle you find yourself growing increasingly used to continues.

How long can this really last?



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to week 5, everyone! Remember to turn in AC here and coins for regains over here! If you wish to get in contact with the npcs, Davy Jones is over here, and The Captain is over here! And as requested, profiles are accessible here. ]

[Flayn's taking all her stuff to her room in batches since. It's a lot. And she had to make time to hide Charlie Pants in the Art Room, but when she comes back Sara is here and-]

Those are-

[Hello rushing over to that bundle of forget-me-nots]

My flowers...!

[onlyyoucan]

Those are yours?

[She carefully hands them over.]

I'm glad I found them. You must have saved them, right?

[cethflayn]

Yes, I have...thank you so much...

[Holding them ever so gently.]

This is every forget-me-not the Professor ever gave me. She liked to help grow things in the greenhouse...whenever she would find one there, she would come to find me.

[Byleth sprinting and parkouring across the Monastery to give Flayn a flower: very precious.]

[onlyyoucan]

She must have really cared about you all, to do things like that.

[cethflayn]

[holds them close]

She cared a lot about all of us...even if she found it hard to express it with emotions, or words. Her actions always shined through.

[Flayn looks over the bundle. Yep, everything's intact, if a little more dried out than when she last saw them. That's okay. She still has the flower Constantie gave her - she should add it to the bunch.]

[onlyyoucan]

It sounds like you were lucky there, before everything went wrong.

[cethflayn]

Oh, she continued this practice when she reappeared. Even when we were at war. The greenhouse was a fundamental source of food for those of us who first came back to Garreg Mach.

[And yet she still found space for flowers.]

[onlyyoucan]

It must've been nice. As nice as it could be.

[cethflayn]

All things considered, I would surmise that it was. [It was hard, especially in those first few months, but once they started gaining ground? Anything felt possible.] I hope she is not too terribly worried for me...Fodlan ought to come first for her. But, knowing...[Looks around, lowers her voice.] Knowing my father, he has likely demanded she search for me and took on any administrative work for himself, if he is not also looking.

[onlyyoucan]

[Sara nods, her face going serious.]

They care a lot about you. Being in a time loop, we don't even know how much time is passing out there, if any... It's hard to hold onto a hope either way.

[cethflayn]

[A firm little nod in return.]

...However it comes to pass, we shall rise to meet it. That is what I believe.

[onlyyoucan]

I hope so. We have to. ...I don't even know what I could do in the position I'm in now -- or that I was in back on the Libertad. But I think I might have been close to finding the truth. I just hope I still can when we go back.

[cethflayn]

[Another nod.] You shall. Of that I am certain.

[Sara's so determined, very strong despite everything going on and back home...Flayn can tell. So Flayn believes in her.]

[onlyyoucan]

...Stay safe, okay? I don't know how we can here, but we need to try.

[cethflayn]

I will do my best. So should you.

[onlyyoucan]

I am. I'm trying not to go out at night. It helps I'm always up early, anyway.

[cethflayn]

I stay in my room at night, too. [She might venture out to see Freyja, who likes nighttime, but other than that it's adhering to an internal curfew.] And I make sure Lorna is there as well before we lock the door.

[onlyyoucan]

Good. It's been a few days since the last incentive. Whatever happens, I don't want any of you to die.

[cethflayn]

...Truthfully, I hope none of us will die. But with this sort of incentive, it really is only a matter of time, even if it does not come from anyone's hands.

[onlyyoucan]

If we could find where he is and shut all this down... but we're no closer than before!

[cethflayn]

...No...no, we must be closer. Somehow, we have to be closer! Even if it is only by a minute amount. We know his name and have seen his face, and we have survived long enough to push him to these means. He shall relent.

[onlyyoucan]

He had to have hidden them for a reason, right? It might be because he doesn't want someone out there to know. He must have enemies.

[cethflayn]

Enemies besides all of us, of course. [He's an evil man with too much money, people usually don't like that.]

[onlyyoucan]

Here, or in other worlds. After all, if he can bring people from one to another, who's to say this is where he's from?

[cethflayn]

[OoO]

Oh my! That thought did not occur to me! But it is entirely possible - he came here to lay his plot so he may escape those more able to identify his crimes!
