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. ]

[Data raises his eyebrows. Of course he has no reason to believe it's his own, but even so:]
Are you using it? I play the violin, and it would be nice to do so again.
no subject
[Which is a shame, otherwise he'd have spent time with the piano, hah. Too bad he trying to play it would be more like a clumsy cat walking on the keys. A cat with particularly large paws]
Oh, if you want I could leave the violin to you. Better for someone who can actually play it to have it than me! I don't even know if it's a good one or not, but as long as it can play the music then it's all fine, right?
[So of course he goes and brings the violin and bow, returning a few minutes later with it. He's looking at it like he stumbled upon some sort of alien object instead of a relatively common musical instrument, he never really figured out how to get a sound that wasn't screeching]
This is what I was talking about.
no subject
[He's not that picky!
But, when Filbo returns, he does spend several seconds studying the instrument, turning it over in his hands.]
Thank you. As it happens, this is my violin.
no subject
[Filbo looks so pleased]
Can I--Can I see you play it? I just...I like music, you know. I never knew how to play any, but it's a great skill.
no subject
[He can do stuff like that super fast, after all. After a moment, and a check to see that the instrument is still in tune, he plays a brief number.]
I have been told that my playing lacks emotion, compared to a human's. Nonetheless, I hope to improve in that area.
[okay you wanna hear me talk about how mean everyone is to data re: his musical pursuits, no you don't, bye]
no subject
Filbo really looked like he was enjoying Data's performance. Even seemed to have some chills once the violin picked up pace around the minute mark. The good mood he had is dampened with confusion when Data says such a thing about lacking emotion]
What? Really? ...I thought it sounded pretty good. M-Maybe it's because I dunno that much about music, but I didn't think it lacked anything.
no subject
I cannot explain it. That is, after all, the root of the problem. But I am glad that you enjoyed it. I will likely play more publicly.
no subject
[So if Data's playing lacks emotion yet is so good, then Filbo wonders what that'd mean. Too much emotion? That's a thing? Oh well, no point in thinking it too hard]
Well, glad you got your violin back. I'll be looking forward to anything else you'll play in public! At this point everything we can do to keep the mood relatively high is good, and music is said to do that, right? So in a way this also is a lot of help for everyone.

no subject
[As long as nobody focuses on the fact Sara had a most horrible death in the vicinity of that piano, that's got to depress things a little if somebody brings it up]
I know Lady Freyja can play the piano, so between you two you'd be able to convince everyone to come listen to you. If you guys decide to go through with this and for some reason need some help with anything I'd be glad to help -- as long as you don't ask me to play something too, I can't--I can't do that.
[He's pretty sure just between Data and Freyja they could arrange everything if they do decide to hold a concert, but hey, wouldn't be Filbo if he didn't offer, hah]
no subject
[Data hadn't really been picturing anything that formalized, but it might be nice, he supposes. Some kind of group gathering that isn't either a strategy meeting or post-death.]
Oh, have you met Spot?
no subject
[He did mention Spot--wait a second]
Wait, don't tell me that machine has given another cat.
[How many cats can one vending machine give, goodness]
no subject
[cat boat CAT BOAT]
no subject
Is she getting along with Parker? I dunno much about animals, but that's gotta be a lotta stuff to deal with if they're not okay with each other!
[He's simply imagining Constantine trying to sleep while Parker and Spot glare at each other and give warnings to each other about staying away, hah]
no subject
[They aren't really besties, but it's...fine.]
no subject
I didn't think you had a cat before coming here. I dunno, space didn't seem like a place where I imagined anyone would keep a pet at.
no subject
[for SOME REASON]
There are not many dogs, as they require more space, but cats and smaller creatures are popular choices.
