WEEK 7

[bathymetric]

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

Another week, another three gone in the case alone, not to mention Chloe earlier in the week. Even as you gain access to another floor, the ship by now must be starting to feel more empty than ever. It's been a long time by now, approaching two months.

Where do you think you'll be, in two months more time?

The clouds have begun to gather around the ship, this week.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to week 7, 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. ]

Oh, a party of some sort would be enjoyable! I think it would do some good to liven things up around here, ja?

[Not that everything's been all doom and gloom the whole time, but you know. Sylvando tried to keep everyone smiling and Freyja helped host that initial party even when she didn't believe it would really help. Every little bit counts, and that's just as true now as it was then.]

It is a bit of a shame that we don't have anyone able to perform... But perhaps we could do something different! Silly little games like "Never Have I Ever" or "Two Truths and a Lie" could be fun... oh, or a movie night! We do have that theater and there are a lot of different movies we could watch...!

[There's also karaoke!! He doesn't know what the hell karaoke is.]

[ahelpingpaw]

[The good reception of such a proposal seems to encourage Filbo]

Right! We have a lot more to work with now than we did before, and a lot more space. Reika had mentioned the spa and I thought it wasn't a bad idea at all! I could--somehow I could take there a few things from other rooms and set things up to have something to do while we relax. I can figure things out.

[You can be sure Filbo would somehow try to take the TV from the teen zone and the DVD player from the movie theater to move them to the spa. At least it's likelier the karaoke machine can be taken all the way to the spa, so at least that probably would exist in there, heh]

[scythegun]

[Oh. Hmm...]

Well, I'm sure a spa day could be very enjoyable for people who are into that sort of thing!

[On a totally unrelated note, you all have never seen Yeager in anything less than a full suit; that includes the pool, the spa, and when does Yeager shower?? It is a mystery.]

I haven't really spent any time in there, what would we be... doing, exactly?

[In case it wasn't obvious before now, Yeager is the sort of person who enjoys relaxing.]

[ahelpingpaw]

That's a good question. One I haven't finished planning for, but I have been bouncing a few ideas around, mostly so there's a little of everything for everyone to at least feel comfortable.

[Filbo stops playing, thinking]

The thing about the spa is that it has plenty of space to just soak in. Sitting around in tubs is bound to get boring, though, so I was thinking maybe it could be made into some sorta...uh...I guess decadent's the word for this all? Letting your worries melt away, having a few hot drinks while you're watching something else happen like a movie if I can drag the TV into the spa, talk with others...it's all about the atmosphere making you forget for a while where you are, I can--I can make it happen, I'm sure of it.

And then on the other end of the spa away from all that, something a little more social because relaxation's not for everyone, I guess. Probably set things up for party games like the ones you mentioned, some music...overall try to make things be more...I dunno, active? In some way?

[He really seems to be spitballing here -- after all, if he goes ahead with all this he has to organize things in a way that keeps twelve different people other than himself happy and entertained, and that's just a very difficult task]

Frankly I'm open to suggestions, because this should be something for all of us.

[scythegun]

Hmm... It's certainly not a bad idea at all! It might be good to ask around and see what other ideas people would like to see! I'm sure whatever you come up with will be wonderful, Filbo!

[ahelpingpaw]

I'd hope so. Th-This kinda celebrations aren't really what I'm used to. I really tend to go for the most cheerful ones I can make, with dancing and all, but... [He sighs] Something about partying like nothing's wrong seems awful, so I decided to go for something more subdued. I think I'll save the really great ones for when we're all back together, it'll be awesome.

[Given how there's a tiny chance of getting the dead back, he's so looking forward to hosting one of his usual parties if they manage to get people back from the end of the world. Filbo trying to throw something if they have to go back home within the hour or something is unlikely, but hey, if somehow there's even a remote chance they could all meet together again he would definitely do something to make it happen]

[scythegun]

[When we're all back together, huh...]

Ja, I think that would be nice! I'm sure they'd appreciate that!

[ahelpingpaw]

Everything okay? You seem a little...nonplussed.

[If the icons are any indication, hah]

[scythegun]

[It was!!]

Oh, it's... Well, the idea of death not being... permanent is a bit... odd, I suppose.

Not that I want our companions to be beyond saving or anything of the sort! It's just... strange.

[ahelpingpaw]

I know, right? It's...it seems a little too good to be true, when you think about it. I still haven't gotten used to the thought of them possibly being back again someday, if things go just right somehow.

[It once seemed like to Zaveid Filbo was forgetting those who had died when he was talking about what would happen in the future]

I think I'm just glad there's some hope on that regard on the first place.

[scythegun]

It's certainly a good thing, ja! And I do feel it's very important to save them, assuming they are somewhere we can get to them.

[It's Complicated, that's what this comes down to.]

My apologies, I didn't mean to worry you.

[ahelpingpaw]

It's fine. You don't gotta apologize for saying what you think.

[Filbo sighs]

I wish things were a little easier to deal with. Sure feels like being on this ship has shown all sorts of weird thoughts I dunno how to even deal with. I mean, I'm glad for it! But it feels like the world was so much simpler before coming here.

[Everyone here has needed to face so many things, starting from the knowledge of many worlds existing, to the possibility of dead people being back, to the strange emotional conundrums]

[scythegun]

Oh, agreed. I was quite content with how things were back then.

[...]

But I feel like I've learned quite a lot since coming here, and not all of it is dreadful! So I suppose there have certainly been some good things - like meeting you!
