WEEK 7
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. ]

It certainly sounds like it! We don't have many people who focus solely on music; that's the sort of entertainment that's more common in Nordopolica or the Empire. But from what I've seen I can only imagine how stressful it would be... I certainly wouldn't want a job like that!
no subject
[Filbo stops pressing keys with the sticks, having remembered something:]
Oh! Right, I said I'd show you a photo of some of us at home! I have been carrying it around the whole day because I promised Flayn I'd show her, but we kinda got busy in the kitchen so that wasn't the best time? W-Well, anyway, you wanna see it?
no subject
[Oh, that's interesting, though! Yeager nods at that.]
I would, yes! I hope you two had fun cooking as well.
no subject
[Filbo takes the photo he had left aside on the farthest end of the piano and slides it to Yeager. There you go, Yeager, a glimpse to a happy moment in another world. Certainly proves Filbo isn't unusually soft in appearance or anything, this looks like a very harmless-looking species even though some do have rather large blunt fangs. Filbo pokes the same key a few times, wistful]
I think I don't have to point which one is me, hahaha! That's...that was from a small celebration when I got elected. It's almost everyone who went on the expedition to Snaktooth. We--we look like a happy bunch there, but even though it may be hard to believe we all really didn't get along before. That we all managed to not only survive Snaktooth but we also managed to at least become friendly to each other to some extent...
[...]
...it kinda makes me think of this ship. Because we're the same way, right? Just a bunch of random people who got gathered for one reason or another, and hopefully we'll also survive and at least not be at each other's throats once this is all over.
[Hardship does bring unity if you overcome it together. Filbo knows that better than a lot of people]
no subject
You're right, it does seem quite similar.
[He sets the photo down, still smiling.]
I think, ultimately, people tend to unite against common threats. I've seen it happen time and time again - the Empire and the guilds can't stand each other most of the time, but whenever there's a threat, they're quick to find ways to ally together to take care of it. In our situation, we have the Captain to fight - and he makes it easy by being such a horrid man. Though we're all very different people with very different outlooks, it says a lot that we all agree that we want to put a stop to the Captain.
[We don't have to be best friends; as long as we have a common enemy, we'll be fine.]
no subject
[It's what's keeping him going now, really. Filbo doesn't believe in platitudes. Freyja and Filbo kept telling each other they had to keep going forward and that it didn't have to be done alone, every time they stumbled they kept reminding each other of that. Now that Freyja is gone and Filbo is still alive, he's keeping her words close to his heart.
Filbo stops playing]
I suppose he's not getting outta here alive once we win, anyway. It's not that I approve of killing, but after everything he's done I really don't think anyone here's gonna argue on his behalf.
[...Filbo included. Any chance of that died alongside Chloe]
no subject
[Partially for personal reasons, but truthfully, Yeager isn't really a vengeful person.]
It's mostly because a man like this... he isn't going to learn. I suspect that once we've got the upper hand, he'll cower and plead and beg for his life - he'll offer us whatever he can, and he'll promise to change his ways. But men like him don't often change and the only thing they learn is how to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
[...This is probably how Yuri felt about Ragou, isn't it...]
I doubt everyone left at the end would be willing to let him go anyway, so I'm glad you're aware that it will likely happen.
[The last thing we want is to murder the Captain in cold blood while Filbo's screaming in the background????]
no subject
[Filbo is as far from vengeful as he can get, but he's not some perfect being without the capacity to feel negative feelings. He has disliked people in the past, but he never truly hated anyone -- and really, he doesn't hate Jack, but at the same time he's so done with him and his murdercruise he just doesn't care at all what happens to that man.
Probably would have lingering regrets in the future once he's back to normal life, really. That's a problem for future Filbo, though]
no subject
[It is going to happen unless something drastically unforeseen takes place, but... it isn't the sort of thing Filbo should have to see. It isn't the sort of thing he should have to acknowledge and turn a blind eye to in the first place.]
I'm sorry, Filbo. But thank you for your understanding.
[It won't be easy for Filbo to deal with the fallout from this, but right now they do have more important matters to worry about. That's a problem for future Filbo indeed.]
no subject
[Life's rough. Filbo smiles wryly, restarting his bumbling piano playing]
I-It doesn't make much sense to be thinking about such things until we truly get ahead of this all, anyway! So let's focus on the present and on staying alive, and then everything else will come afterwards. That's why I'm thinking of something along the lines of a party, one of these days. Nothing too cheerful, just some small celebration that has nothing to do with New Year, anyway.
...well, it was something Reika suggested to me, but I think it'd do us some good to try to distract ourselves with something a little better than what we have been doing for the last two months!
[Sounds like he's floating the idea to Yeager, though, like he wants to see what he'd think of such a proposal]
no subject
[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.]
no subject
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]
no subject
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.]
no subject
[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.
no subject
no subject
[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]
no subject
Ja, I think that would be nice! I'm sure they'd appreciate that!
no subject
[If the icons are any indication, hah]
no subject
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.
no subject
[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.
no subject
[It's Complicated, that's what this comes down to.]
My apologies, I didn't mean to worry you.
no subject
[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]
no subject
[...]
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!
