WEEK 6

[bathymetric]

Good morning, passengers. Happy Sunday. Happy New Year.

Three more of your number gone - or four, depending on your point of view. But regardless, you're down three bodies. The boat is getting less crowded, week by week. A loneliness only exacerbated by yet another new floor, and yet another section of topdeck. There are almost too many facilities for you to use by now, aren't there? And yet the amenities keep on coming. One of them is even personalized, this time, and perhaps not in a way you're fully comfortable with.

Who knows, maybe if your number falls enough, you'll be able to just exist permanently on the different floors. Might keep you out of the trial room for more than a week.

Are you at the point where you'd settle for that yet?

And if you look to the horizon, out in the distance... there are clouds starting to gather on the horizon this week.




SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to week 6, 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. ]

The other reason I had thought of was you playing for those who have passed, though it's not something I assumed. Merely considered it as a possibility.

[ He couldn't presume to know the reasons behind everyone's actions; yet, he was curious. It was in his nature to be, for a few reasons.

Still, even so, he supposed there was also the likelihood of enjoyment as well, but it did not seem that way. ]

[dokkalfheimr]

[Ah, that's... Hm.]

Sometimes that's the reason. It's either for our dead, or for my brother.

Other times it's just so I have something to do with my hands.

[deathmagnetic]

I see. In any case, there's always something to keeping yourself occupied in a place like this.

[ For any reason, really. ]

Though, I have to wonder. Is there an activity you've been used to partaking in back home that you haven't had the chance to occupy yourself with while we've been here?

[dokkalfheimr]

[Ah, that's...hm.]

Much of my time was spent in the lower levels of Dökkálfheimr - not as much as my brother spent there in his own realm, admittedly, but I would often go down there and observe the dreams and the nightmares of the mortals. I haven't been able to see any since I've been here, even when I sleep; it's been distressing.

[deathmagnetic]

[ That'd make sense that she was, given that she was used to it.

Though, he's never heard of anyone doing so. Not even with the power of a Stand. It's likely to be an ability limited to gods, for the most part. ]

What made you decide to observe them in the first place? Curiosity?

[dokkalfheimr]

It's simply what I do. Or part of it, at any rate. The mortals know me by many names; the title I've been given here is merely one of them. I also am responsible for their nightmares, and their dreams now as well, I suppose.

It's most easily done while asleep; I share their experiences with them. My brother used to do the same.

[deathmagnetic]

...I see.

I'm no god, so I can't imagine what that would be like in the first place. But, it certainly sounds like the type of activity that could become easily overwhelming.

[dokkalfheimr]

...Mortals come up with some interesting things to dream about. I understand that it isn't their choice, most of the time, but their minds work in strange ways.

[deathmagnetic]

I suppose we owe that to having something like quite the creative imaginations at times.

[ Though he didn't necessarily believe all dreams were a result of overactive imaginations, they just probably contributed. ]

[dokkalfheimr]

A surprising amount of you want to fly.

[deathmagnetic]

... I imagine some wish for it for convenience's sake, but then you have others who may like it for the sake of having a super power, among other things.
