WEEK 8

[bathymetric]

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

Your numbers have officially dropped to single digits. One of you managed to kill the first of the major living obstacles to your collective freedom. A ghost or demon or something nearly killed you. It was a weird week.

The cruise continues on, roller coaster back up and running as ever, arcade free and clear of coins. The last free floor of the ship is open, as well as part of the top deck with... well, something you might expect to see way more on a cruise ship than anything else here. One way or another, you get a feeling you can't shake - things are going to end soon.

No rain yet, but the clouds are closing in fast above you. A cold wind blows during the night, sending the ship gently rocking. Around midnight or so, if you head to the deck, you can hear thunder in the distance.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to week 8, 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 would likely be easier for me. I can simply initiate sleep mode, and it will happen. But I must continue my patrols.

[hahahaha rip to that]

[ltcommandroid]

He was! They were not always murder mysteries, as was the case with later popular authors in the genre, but he did kickstart the popularity of serialized detective fiction.

[like murder mysteries yes......]

[magycks]

Ah. No, not particularly, my nemesis' board of directors just happens to be exclusively buzzards.

[magycks]

Harm is coming to me right now!

[ That was raw-sounding enough that even she recognizes it as off! However, knowing this just annoys her more, so it's a net negative. ]

... And to "our group" in general — which, thanks but no thanks, I claim no affiliation with. We're nine passengers on the same death cruise, and now I'm invested in not killing any of you out of sheer spite, and that is it.

[ltcommandroid]

I understand. Regardless, we are all literally in the same boat.

[Magica, being nine passengers on the same death cruise makes you definitionally part of the same group]

Is there anything I can do to help you? [he's asked everyone else if they wanna talk about it, but like, he's not THAT much of an idiot]

[magycks]

[ Her grip on the pill bottle tightens. ]

That depends, actually! You feel like offing someone who's not me? Because that's the only thing that's going to get to the root of the problem, and Thursday night's kind of traditional at this point.

[ltcommandroid]

I am afraid I cannot help you in that manner.

[which, c'mon, we all knew that]

But you are correct. This incentive does not have a deadline, but I still expect tonight to be the most dangerous.

[guffawsungraciously]

...

You know...

I will take it. It will probably be fine.

[guffawsungraciously]

Oh, yes, that is quite unfortunate. I do find them easy enough to ignore, at the very least, so it is not a problem.

[guffawsungraciously]

I suppose that is for the better, then, though I will admit that I am surprised human nature managed to get even that far.

[cethflayn]

[She's gonna go get like, three of the canisters because what is restraint, and bring them over.]

I think they are operated by shaking the bottle and then pressing on the nozzle.

[The pressure being released makes a scary noise but it's worth it]

[ltcommandroid]

There were several catastrophic wars beforehand. But I do not believe that human nature is inherently bad.

[guffawsungraciously]

Well, best to try it out before employing it properly, I suppose.

[He'll shake the bottle a bit and spray it into a bowl.

...then he'll take a spoon and then try it out.]

Hm. It is a little thin, but I suppose it will do if the fruit holds the structure up.

[guffawsungraciously]

Does it not, though. One of them seems to contain some important information, but the rest do not seem particularly relevant to anything.

[guffawsungraciously]

I never thought it as a question of good and evil, really. It is more or less the lure of power weighed against everything else.
