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. ]

Having another normal one, I see.

[ She's definitely been drawn in by the smells! Nobody think about the horror inherent to a human sized duck with a goddamn bill just eating meatloaf, it's fine. ]

[leaveittomother]

I am, actually.

[Just chew it, Magica.]

[magycks]

[ Unfortunately, Magica will! But only after a lot of inspecting the food up close, which is honestly the only way she can do it with a line of sight so close to the countertops. ]

Sure, whatever. You're not really worried about this one, are you?

[ Literally what indication has Reika given of this though... ]

[leaveittomother]

When it comes to killing, Jack the Ripper is the sort of person who thrives on it. Those children will be fine.

[She glares at Magica, though.]

I do have a heart.

[Unlike you.]

[magycks]

Interesting news.

[ She raises her eyebrows, her focus now fully on Reika as opposed to the meatloaf. ]

Regardless, if your adoptive spirit child isn't going to be traumatized by the experience, who cares? Just feel some dull annoyance or whatever it is you normally do.

[leaveittomother]

You should know the answer to that.

[She picks up her device and flips to Constantine's profile and flashes it at Magica.]

What do you think idiots like this will think of an evil spirit that's far worse than the one that possessed Lorna?

[magycks]

Eugh, just because a bunch of self-righteous drips have survived this long doesn't mean everyone's loved ones are boring.

More importantly — can they help it? Do they know what they're doing? Because sentimental fools don't want to believe monsters are real. They're ready to excuse just about anything as long as they can project enough onto it.

[leaveittomother]

[Reika is about to say something then shuts her mouth.]

If they thought Jack couldn't help it they'd just exorcise her to 'save' her. Those sentimental fools don't know anything how the real world works.

[magycks]

First off, someone's going to kill over this motive, so it's a moot point what actions they might or might not take. I'd rather it not be you, but who can say what Thursday has in store?

[ She's added the "don't get me wrong I would sell your soul for a corn chip" caveat with Reika at least once, so she doesn't bother now. Instead, she looks like she's about to say something and then swallows it, twice. ]

What's she like?

now that things are gone to hell time to talk about the hellion!

[leaveittomother]

None of us really know, that's true.

[Aw, she's flattered! And how ironic that she did in do things.]

Jack... What can I say? I find her adorable. She's clever, good with a knife... I've seen her kill a mage then complain that she wants dinner!

[For someone as apathetic as Reika apparently this is cute?]

[magycks]

[ Honestly after learning that Magica's idea of a nice memory where she was reined-in was "flashback where she's on board with turning people into turnips and then eating the turnips", this checks out, it's adorable! ]

You're sort of a calming influence, then.

[leaveittomother]

She just wanted a mother. They all did... I just happened to be the one they picked.

[Oh. Right. Time for the Jack talk. Though, she'll not mention the 'Jack begging her to cuddle' thing. Magica would find them both soft.]

[magycks]

[ Magica, looking visibly agitated, drags a hand through her elaborate bangs. Is she really about to-- ]

Look, this is a ridiculous thought exercise that isn't worth my time or yours, but at least one person on that lineup is used to tempering mystical menaces without the cloying air of judgment.

[ Yep. Yep, she really just did. ]

... he'd probably be around her height, mind.

[leaveittomother]

[That's... thank god Reika has the self control not to laugh even if the corner of her mouth twitches slightly.]

I think they'd get along splendidly. She probably wouldn't mind your company either, for that manner.

[Hate her as a Master, though, but an acquaintance? Jack probably wouldn't mind that.]

[magycks]

[ Yeah, Reika, you better conceal that amusement! Otherwise you won't get to... obliquely hear the backstory of the most annoying person on board? Which is a punishment, maybe? ]

He always was the sensible one. [ There's a moment of silence as she finally helps herself to some of the meatloaf. ] You think so? Children don't usually take to me, for some reason.

[ It could be turning their parents into goats? It could be that she's actively attempting to kill then a lot of the time?? Perhaps it's the repeated declarations of magical warfare??? ]
