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. ]

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.

I've noticed that, actually. Is there a reason...? Or do you just not like it?

I'm not all that fond of it. I'm also a bit too shy to ever want to wear a swimsuit!

[..........he says it with a straight face...???]

[wow.]

...Honestly, I've just been assuming you can't swim...

[gasp!!!]

Oh dear, my biggest weakness is that obvious?

[It gets her to laugh a bit, anyway.]

Don't worry, I can keep a secret.

Good, you'd better! I wouldn't want someone to throw me off the boat.

I'm sure Lady Kraken would save you.

[...]

...Or she would just throw your body back up onto the boat and we would have to solve yet another incident where someone was soaked in seawater, I suppose. I admit I don't know the rules regarding her.

At this point, I'm fairly sure the rules are whatever the Captain wants them to be at any given point. Who needs consistency anyway?

...That does seem to be true, yes.

[Mm.]

I don't know. Perhaps I'll go talk to Jack in person eventually.

I've been considering that as well. At the very least, I do want a better look at his office. Just to get an idea of what is in there, of course - though I am curious about what he said regarding the rules here. If he didn't create them, who did?

I've been wondering that as well. It does seem to confirm that all of this is for some sort of deeper purpose, though I can't say I know what it might be. A ritual, clearly, but for what?

That's possibly the most important piece we're missing, at this point. I doubt it will explain everything once we learn that, but it's something I'm surprised we haven't managed to find just yet.

Something we're being deliberately kept from, then?
