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. ]

Motive - Mandatory Vacation Time

[heroantagonist]

[Tuesday morning arrives with the typical schedule; waking up, getting a good breakfast from the cafe or the Jimmy buffet, a message on your devices directing you back to the theatre…

Jack, once again, is waiting for you.]

Avast! [He laughs, adjusting his bright red coat, now with the addition of a wide-brimmed hat. A great plumed feather rising out the top.] What do you think? Sea-worthy, right? Ah, I look good in anything. Right! The motive this week!

[Everyone’s devices ping them - a new photo had appeared. It’s a simple, casual photo, one of someone you know back home.]

Great photos, right? [On the screen, Jack reclines in his chair.] Took them just recently. Your friends? Family? They’re all fine… For now. So, that the rub: Kill someone, or else those people are gonna find themselves on a boat that looks a lot like this one.

Don’t want that forced on them? Just murder someone! Easy, right?

[cethflayn]

[Looks at her photo. The woman's hair is even a lighter green than Flayn's, and she's taking tea.

Frowns.]

You would not want to cross her, Captain Jack.

[Byleth would fuck. You. Up.]

[heroantagonist]

Oh, I've crossed some powerful people in my time and I came out on top.

[He chuckles, not knowing.]

[cethflayn]

[Closes her eyes. Sighs. Seteth, forgive her this one time for what she will say.]

I will be blunt, though you do not deserve the honesty. This woman would fucking kill you.

[heroantagonist]

She wouldn't be the only one.

1/3

[jibunwo]

[...He wouldn’t.]

[Slowly, Lelouch took his device out of his pocket and looked at the screen.]

[jibunwo]

[He would.]

[jibunwo]

[And then he threw it full force to shatter against the nearest wall, spinning on his heel and storming out without a word.]

[heroantagonist]

Oop! Got a cleanup in there.

[He yells,]

Don't worry, kid! you'll get a new one!

[jibunwo]

[Distantly, there is a shouted response that sounds suspiciously like language not allowed in the average Funimation dub.]

[magycks]

Someone doesn't want his gun back.

[sivard]

[He stares at his own photograph.]

You got a buddy running a rival blood ritual?

[heroantagonist]

What, you think I can't multitask? I was a CEO, buddy. I can watch two groups of you yokels fight to the death over shrimp and whatever the crap else.

[sivard]

Am I supposed to be impressed and know what a CEO is?

[ahelpingpaw]

[Filbo doesn't know who he's going to see -- a lot of people came to mind, it could be anyone. Somehow, he didn't expect to see a photo of a gray grumpus in a hut very similar to the ones on his minigolf course. She looks so full of energy he can almost feel it in the photo]

Sh...she's...

[She's alive. Lizbert is alive and back to normal. It has been five months and she's still alive. Lizbert has survived for five months on the most inhospitable place Filbo would ever know, and not only she was alive, she also looked like she was well and healthy, as strong as ever. And if she's alive, then Eggabell probably is alive too. After this long...they're alive and doing great. He had already started to accept their likely demises, but instead...

Filbo leaves the place, stunned. These definitely are the best news he has gotten in quite some time -- and if Jack dared to bring Elizabert Megafig to one of these ships, well, that ship would be the luckiest one ever, he figured. If there was someone who'd make everything be fine, it was Lizbert]

[scouserer]

[Constantine knows what his picture is going to be. He knows he won't like it, but he looks anyways. His shoulders are tensed as he stares at the image in cold fury, fingers gripping his phone so tightly that it almost looks like he aims to crush the device. If you look over his shoulder, you might catch a glimpse of a...rather average looking white man with a receding hair line.

Without another word, he puts the phone in his pocket and storms out.]

[magycks]

[ Magica looks down at her device with maybe some vague trepidation... and she laughs. It's not a nice or amused laugh, but come on, you all know her by now. ]

God, it's like you really don't want me to kill anyone but you.

[ However, she is going to rapidly tuck the device back in her cloak, because if she managed to keep a straight face during weeks four and six when this character had not been introduced and not blow up her own spot, she's definitely not going to do it now! ]

[deathmagnetic]

[ ...

He'll raise a brow at the photo. He didn't even look bothered in the slightest.

It's a picture of a blue short haired man with glasses. ]

You're wasting your time. Though, even if you hadn't picked him, it'd be the same—precisely because none of them are 'fine'.

[ Though, he supposed, that's not the case with everyone else. ]

[scythegun]

[Yeager doesn't need to check his device to know who the Captain picked, but he can't stop himself from doing it anyway. He isn't usually the sort to get angry, but his expression twists into something unfamiliar for a moment before he forces himself to breathe. He's quick to get out of here as we're allowed to leave.]

[guffawsungraciously]

[...you know, he has to check to see who Jack even picked for him, and... oh, how predictable.

It's funny how differently he feels about it than he expected, though. Then again...

Hmm. He's got a lot to think about, so he's just going to stick his device back in his pocket and fuck off somewhere.]

[queceracera]

[What do you think you'd do if your friends were here?

Well fuck him sideways. Apparently, that staying in the theoretical isn't going to happen so. Guess they'll find out! He should see who it is, though. It's probably Ramona. Ramona makes sense, right? Everyone knows he simps for Ramona. Scott looks down at his device and nothing happens for a moment. Then, he starts laughing.]

You don't know where Ramona is either, do you?

[Because on his screen is someone he knows very well. He doesn't owe her anything, not anymore, and she's not even really his friend.]

[heroantagonist]

What can I say? I'm not a miracle worker. But I'm working on that.

[queceracera]

Don't know how to use subspace, do you? [Scott tucks his ID back into his pocket.] You should've picked Kim. Oh wait - she probably would've kicked your ass before you got to her.

[The only reason the twins even managed is because Kim was drunk off her ass.]

[leaveittomother]

[She knows. She knows before she even looks. There's just a single kid on her device. Reika freezes.]

Those children don't deserve this. Life was horrible enough.

[She just. Leaves.]

[silentscout]

[He doesn't even have to look at the phone to know exactly who is there. But still, he opens it up and looks at the picture there before closing it again and walking out.]
