unknownseas | WEEK 6

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. ]

[Yeah. Yeah...]

I'm fine enough. As far as these things go, this one could have been infinitely worse.

[the only reason why it wasn't worse is because i didn't want to tl;dr for 900 years!!!]

It's simply... an unpleasant reminder of home. I can't really afford to stop and think about how things are going there right now.

I understand.

[God, she doesn't even want to think about- ]

Are these your retainers...?

[...The girls, not the weird idle people.]

[He doesn't need to look back at it to confirm, but he does anyway.]

Ja. They are.

[He doesn't look away.]

Droite is the cheerful one; her sister's more serious.

Droite is the one that takes after you.

[She remembers that much.]

They're lovely girls.

They are. This likeness hardly does them justice, but it is fairly faithful, at least.

I'm sure it doesn't.

I'm sure that this wasn't something Jack did to be kind to any of us. But I am glad, in a way, that I could see them.

Ja, I think that much is good. They are very important to me, after all.

[It kind of sucks to be reminded like this, though.]

I know the feeling.

[...]

We don't have to keep staring at it if you don't want to.

I would prefer to go elsewhere.

[...]

Is yours rather irritating as well?

[We definitely don't have to go stare at it, but he is curious.]

It isn't, actually. Would you like to see it...?

I would, yes.

[How's fairyworld in minigolf style?? That sounds interesting!!]

[Fairyworld in minigolf style is getting shamelessly copy-pasted! It isn't too difficult to spot if she's told you anything at all about it; there is a brightly glistening castle illuminated from within, made entirely from stained...well, it's more like stained plastic than stained glass, but it's close enough. It's surrounded by a water hazard with water flowing gently into it from some of the other holes, and it's elevated, requiring the ball to be hit up a ramp and through the doors. Where it comes out is a little harder to find, but there's a narrow tunnel made out of what looks like interwoven trees, branches braided together to form a loose knotted canopy above. The tunnel comes out into an area far darker in color, dotted here and there with gently glowing mushrooms and trees with knotted branches that contain orbs lighting the path to the ending hole. Another castle stands nearby, this one dark in color with windows lit from inside by some sort of purple glow; there aren't any depictions of people on either landscape, but there are figurines of a pair of creatures of some sort near the darker castle - they look like some sort of extremely fancy ibex, obviously different from one another but still clearly related in some way.]

The lighter castle is my brother's; the rest is Dökkálfheimr.

Oh! How delightful...

[This whole thing is incredible, it's very cute... Just look at the castle designs, this is pretty nice for some shit the Captain probably did when he was bored.]

And these two... Are they your other form and your brother's?

[The goats!! Those horns do look pretty familiar, after all...]

They are, yes.

[She really is not sure why they're depicted as goats here, but here they are, being goats.]

How fascinating... I can see why you were concerned about this form being something I'd assume is a monster, though.

[That checks out, honestly. Rhybgaro is only a few stages away from goatmonster, right????]

How large are these forms normally? Around the same height you are?

Much, much larger. Most horses' heads come about the shoulder, and I could easily carry at one time any three of you that have been among us without harming myself.

And that is just me. Freyr was larger than I am.

[So those goats are fucking huge.]

[Ah.... giant goats...............]

Incredible... I do hope I have the opportunity to see it, someday. Though I have a better idea of what you would look like now, of course!

You do. The likeness actually isn't bad, if Freyr's is any indication.

[When one is a giant goat it is a little hard to get an accurate gauge of what you look like without someone helping you somehow.]

Again, perhaps once all of this is over I can show you.

I would like that. I'm sure we'll figure out exactly what the Captain did to everyone's powers eventually.

I sincerely hope so. I've disliked being without them for so long.

I can only imagine how difficult it must be. I don't use magic or anything of the sort, so I haven't lost much.

[he can no longer spam overlimit and his mystic arte, though :c ]

It's also decidedly more difficult for anyone to decide to throw you overboard.

[SHE'S JUST SAYING.]

Hah, that's certainly true! Though I would like to see someone try.

...I would as well, solely to see which of you ended up in the water in the end.

[She'd pay money.]

Oh, I imagine it'd be quite fun to watch! I would prefer not to get wet, after all.
