Week 1

[bathymetric]

Good morning, New Rapture. A new day is dawning.

There may not be much light to differentiate the days here, but the lights of the part of the city you're in change enough by the clock that you can almost believe there's a sun somewhere. It looks like Mayor Fontaine has no intention of going back on his deal, and for the time being? You're all stuck here. But there's plenty to do, and... maybe not plenty to see, but there's enough. There's something, at any rate.

Especially if you're willing to look beyond the surface.

And if you spend enough time around others, you might find something neat!

No matter what, it's time to start getting to know your fellow captives. You might be here a while.




MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
FRIDAY | SATURDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to the first week of Unknown Seas Round 3! We're very excited to have you. Please make sure to mark any investigation toplevels accordingly, and you can reach either Mayor Fontaine or Eleanor for conversations! ]

[sixthnonsense]

[I'm so glad that this is their first conversation.]

Oh, boobs for sure. It's always been a dream of mine to lie my head down on a girl's lap and get a good view, if y'know what I mean!

[bootyhunter]

[WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY...]

Mmmmmmm-hm. Mmmmm-hm-hm-hm! Mmmmmm-hm-hm-hm-hm. 🎶

[As if Hagakure couldn't tell from the way Dandy closes his eyes, hums, and wraps both noodley arms around himself... That answer is music to his sideburn-covered ears, baby.]

The blessed boob window. Ah! What a classic.

You've got good taste, my friend.

[sixthnonsense]

[Hagakure crosses his arms and nods with confidence, pleased that his response received such a favorable reaction.]

Glad you agree! There's gotta be fewer finer sights than that! The hard part is actually getting it to happen, though...

[When will Hagakure score. (never)]

[bootyhunter]

Don't tell me a fine young man like yourself has never had the pleasure of havin' a pretty girl on his arm! That's just plain sad, baby, and I hate to hear it.

[Dandy waxes poetic as though he's finally managed to meet a kindred spirit. To be fair, they may as well be beating their chests and making gorilla noises at each other, it'd probably be the same conversation.]

I know most people would probably say, "Lose the hair," but they don't know what the hell they're talkin' about! If the do is you, then I say it's here to stay. People should know about who you are and who you wanna be- Not who you aren't!

[Surprisingly solid advice for a guy whose last serious relationship was with a literal box. I'm not joking. Also, she left him.]

[sixthnonsense]

Bro... You get me!

[A...COMPLIMENT... He never gets those outside of his mom! Oh, this is a kindred spirit!]

My hair's been like this for as long as I can remember. I just don't wanna ruin what my mom gave me, y'know? Sure it makes my dream tougher to achieve, but I'm willing to make the sacrifice.

[Also, like. It's so out of control at this point he's too afraid to do anything about it.]

[bootyhunter]

Oh, I wouldn't say it knocks your dreams right outta bounds! You just gotta puff out your chest a bit more, and carry those luscious locks with a whole lot of confidence. When it comes the ladies, I mean, us guys have also gotta keep an open mind, right?

[Oh! Look at that. Genuinely helpful advice-]

Also, if you're goin' after an ugly girl, she's stops bein' ugly when ya close your eyes!

[DANDY?!?!?!?!? NOT COOL]

Or if the hotel room you're bookin' is dark.

[THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY BETTER]

[sixthnonsense]

[DANDY NO!!!!

..................yet Hagakure definitely seems to be taking mental notes.]

I just meant that my head ain't the easiest to fit into a girl's lap, but this is all good stuff!

[NO!!!!]

A little harsh, though. I'd like to see the girl I'm with! That's the point!

[bootyhunter]

Oh!

[That causes Dandy to blink a couple of times.]

You can't just tie it up or nothin'?

[To be fair, Dandy's definition of "ugly" isn't quite what you'd expect. He'd absolutely go down on a lizard lady, he gives no fucks.]

Maybe you need to invest in several layers of super strong swimcaps.

You could also date a woman with a giant lap. A lot of the lady giants in Galaxy-3487've got trouble lookin' for love 'cause so many losers just aren't willing to go out with a girl who's taller than them.

And to that I say- They're cowards!

[sixthnonsense]

I can, but it still tends to do... [He motions at the Volume of it.] It's just naturally like this.

[Concerns over his hair disappear for the moment, though. He blinks a few times in disbelief before he remembers something.]

That's right! You deal with aliens and stuff too!! Dude, you gotta tell me about that sometime... More importantly though, what are the giant alien ladies like?

[IMAGINE THAT VIEW...HOLY SHIT!]

I TRULY HATE, DESPISE, AND DEPAIR

[bootyhunter]

[I think I now understand the weight of Junko Enoshima's level of anguish and despair, it's this feeling of secondhand embarrassment that must have caused her to begin the events of Dangan Ronpa-]

Well, you like boobies, riiiiight?

[STOP!!!!]

So, as you would imagine, on a giant alien broad, well...

They're bigger. And that means there's a helluva lot more wiggle room, if you catch my drift.

AT LEAST WE'RE DESPAIRING TOGETHER

[sixthnonsense]

[He is taking this allllll in.]

Oh, do I ever!

[Catch Dandy's drift, that is. But that is also true of the question re: boobs.

And one dreamy sigh later because that's as far as I can take this without dying inside:]

Dude, I am so friggin' jealous of you right now.

[bootyhunter]

Yeah?

[Don't make that poofy-haired head of his even bigger, Hagakure.]

Well, if I were you, I probably would be too.

[sixthnonsense]

[Can it get as big as Hagakure's though.]

Man, how hard is it to even get to that place? People have only gotten to the moon where I'm from!

[bootyhunter]

[Probably not since sans product it's a normal volume...]

Not too hard, I reckon? But that kinda depends on where you are in the galaxy. I mean, if ya really wanna get there fast, I guess there's always warping, but, blech.

Warping's the worst!

[sixthnonsense]

Warping... Y'mean like the light-speed warping they have ships do in sci-fi shows? What's so bad about it?

[bootyhunter]

Yeah.

[Oh no, here he goes...]

It stinks! Ya wake up afterwards and you're all sore and shit, and oh yeah! Your hair freakin' falls out!

Soooo not worth it. Hair is time and time is money, so that means hair is money, baby!

[????]

And money makes the world go 'round. Worlds! Planets! Entire solar systems, for real!

You don't wanna be losin' any of that!

[sixthnonsense]

Why did no one tell me I could make money offa my hair?

[Hagakure mutters under his breath before the gravity of all of that hits him like a truck.]

Y-You don't gotta tell me twice! I have enough problems with money as it is- I don't wanna lose my hair on top of that!

[It all comes back to hair...

Anyway.]

So if you don't warp too much, how do you get around?

[bootyhunter]

The normal way! On my good ol' spaceship with some jet fuel I snagged for a deal.

[This sentence is uttered matter-of-factly.]

I've just gotta make a stop at BooBies before moseyin' into the intergalactic macrosphere and ensure there's some quality reading material [read: titty tabloids and nudie mags] of the adult picture book variety by my side, and I'm all set! It's as easy as one, two, eleventy-three, buddy.

[Sadly, that is how he believes that numbers work.]

I take it you're from darker times?

[sixthnonsense]

[Why read anything else.]

Man, that sounds like the good life...

[He doesn't fantasize for too long, though.]

Compared to that, yeah. That and well, we might've gone through an apocalypse while I was trapped in my first killing game. I never did get to find out if that was legit or not.

[bootyhunter]

[considering how little dandy contributes to society, it's a way better life than he'd be able to live in any other reality]

First killing game?

You mean you've been through this before?

[sixthnonsense]

Yeah. Oh right, I don't think I saw you when the mayor gathered us up...

[Dandy definitely would have heard him yelling about it otherwise.]

I'd literally just escaped and then I woke up here to do it all over again.

[bootyhunter]

Yeah, I...

[He wonders if he regrets it, being asleep when the news had passed. While he's definitely hoping he can give that Mayor asshole a good old what-for, he wonders if that would really solve anything.]

I was catchin' some Z's.

Well, maybe think of it this way- You made it out the first time, so! Who says you can't just do it again?

[sixthnonsense]

Yeah... That's how I'm tryin' to look at it. Doesn't stop it from feeling like one hell of a cruel joke, though.

[He was so close to being free...]

Did anyone already fill you in on what happened? I wouldn't mind.

[bootyhunter]

No.

[He hasn't really bothered to ask.]

But I've got a hold of a few movin' parts.

[Namely that the killing constraint sounds legit.]

Why? Are you up for the challenge?

[sixthnonsense]

I just thought you might wanna know. Havin' all the info's a good thing in these kinda situations...just speakin' from experience.

[He was real bad at it his first go-around, so he's...trying to do better.]
