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. ]

He is in charge of whatever this Hyperion company is. It does seem like he'd be busy with other things.

[ltcommandroid]

Quite so. Even if he is working from here, it must keep him quite occupied, but he appears to have sufficient technology that he may simply leave the vessel entirely at times.

[scythegun]

I had thought that impossible, but I suppose he could have something that allows him to leave without us noticing...

[Teleporter panels, magic, some kind of technology he can't even begin to imagine...]

But if he did have the means to simply leave as he wanted... why would he even bother coming back here? He could just watch everything from afar and never put himself at risk at all.

[ltcommandroid]

Perhaps he enjoys it. Even if he had to be on the ship for some part of this, there is no reason he must observe the executions from so close.

[could just watch it on a tv from his office or something if he weren't a freak]

[scythegun]

I really do wish it was anything else, but ja, you're probably right. How dreadful...

[ltcommandroid]

He is a sadist.

[just like, sayin]

[scythegun]

I did think he was, but you really did just come out and say it!

[data isn't even kinkshaming but somehow this feels like kinkshaming.......]

[ltcommandroid]

Understanding his motivations and behavior can only help us. We know that he is a successful capitalist, that he has no respect for human life - [like those aren't the same thing HEYOOOOOO] - and that he behaves with irreverence in most situations. Evidently, he also had a child or children at one point.

[Which, well, doesn't say much about him in Data's opinion. Anyone can do that.]

[scythegun]

[eyyyyyyy]

His reaction to Lorna's death and his mention of his child was quite unexpected... I think we should try to learn more about that, but I doubt it'll truly be helpful. He didn't seem bothered by any of the other deaths, after all.

[So maybe it was an act? But that seems kind of weird for him...]

[ltcommandroid]

Whatever his feelings on the matter, they did not stop him from bringing multiple children here to begin with.

[So like, apparently they don't matter that much]

[scythegun]

No, certainly not. So it was likely something about the execution itself... Perhaps her willingness to allow it to happen to her instead of the spirit.

[ltcommandroid]

Possibly. Perhaps he could not understand her reasoning.

[Which he phrases like that because - for all of his stated lack of emotion, Data thinks he understands that perfectly well.]

[scythegun]

It didn't seem like he was disappointed or anything, so I do think that's likely.

[It was a lot, but... yeah, it's understandable why she wanted to take the punishment herself.]
