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. ]

You are sure? I. I know I can be...annoying, sometimes.

[She is self-aware, at least, that being someone who looks as she does and talks as she does and acts as she does can culminate in some folks getting irritated.]

[ahelpingpaw]

Definitely. Lalli doesn't talk much, but he cares, I could tell. I'm sure it'd all have gone better than you think.

[He's so wrong. Lalli absolutely is the kind of person that needs a slow burn, really. Alas, although Filbo generally can read a person well enough to know how they're like and all, he never noticed the not-so-subtle hints of Lalli's difficult personality -- mostly because he's too accepting of what he sees and how he's treated instead of delving into it all. It may be fortunate Flayn didn't ask Filbo for advice on this regard]

[cethflayn]

[Flayn...would probably take the slow burn, though. She's inexperienced in so many ways. While she'll go for the things she wants, it is not as if she is completely oblivious to others. Just a little blinded by enthusiasm from the get-go.]

...Well. Maybe it is silly to speculate on it. We cannot go back and change things, so...now it will never be.

[ahelpingpaw]

Are you sure?

[Filbo visibly hesitates, but...maybe for the sake of trying to give Flayn just a little bit of hope he should say it:]

I-I'm not saying you should get your hopes up, but...if I understand correctly all this about the end of the world and everything, there's a-a very small chance it's...it's not over yet. That we can do something for those who have died, so...if it helps you go on, maybe that's something to aim for.

[It sure is for Filbo, really. He's ready to say farewell to everyone who has died so far, but he sure will try his hardest to help things go in the right direction so there's at least a tiny chance something can be done about the dead, and he knows he's not the only one. Others like Zaveid want to, too]

[cethflayn]

...

[???]

We - we can?

[No one told her any of this???]

[ahelpingpaw]

I dunno the details. It's all about...Davy Jones? I think? And the end of the world? Something about those who have died not having passed on yet. I-It's complicated and honestly I don't really get it, so you shouldn't take it for granted, but it's...

...maybe it can be done if we try hard enough?

[It would require Davy Jones to be incredibly merciful of them, really. That and also surviving the murdercruise, which is even harder. The odds are not on their favor]

[cethflayn]

When did this all come to light? Did I miss a meeting? I was certain I attended them all, even if I did not have much to contribute myself!
