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

Mm... So you don't even have any old memories you can think about yet, huh? Just the ones you're not getting to make.

[ That was never going to be an issue with Alice when they'd been together for so many years and birthdays already, but he thinks he kind of gets it anyway. Maybe it's like that feeling he gets when he looks at the amusement park rides and casino and just thinks about all the stuff in Altamira that they never did. ]

She made me an awful cake for my birthday and I was going to return the favor. Well, except probably not awful. I dunno, it's weird. I look at her and think of all the stuff we were supposed to do, not all the stuff we did.

[Is this growing up? Is this character development? He doesn't like it.]

[thisaroma]

...Yeah. There are some things here that make me feel that way too. Places that make me think of things we never got to do back home, or... whenever new parts of the ship open up here, I think about what she would have thought of them, what she would have liked from the new restaurants... stuff like that.

[ He hasn't gotten the impression that Ramona is actually dead, at least, so he could try to say something optimistic about their chances after this, but between what Scott had told him about her before and the way the image of her here keeps flickering out, he feels like that would probably be pretty hollow. ]

Do you think about it a lot?

[ Like, he's sure seeing her right here in front of him is mostly what's bringing these feelings up now, but he's probably been thinking about her birthday every week they've been here. ]

I try not to? Wallace says it's bad to "bring that energy into your life." [He made airquotes around that, for the record.] I think he was just trying to make me feel better, because it doesn't really work. It's like when someone tells you not to think of a puppy so you immediately think of a puppy.
