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! ]

Haha, why don't I come down? I'm not that far up yet, and it's not like the building's going anywhere in the meantime.

[Without waiting for Jonathan to be polite and British about letting him keep going, Obi peers down and just hops right off into the empty air. It's all very Naruto. He lands a few feet away from Jonathan like it was nothing and pops back up, stretching his arms over his head.]

Wanna go for a stroll around the garden instead?

[hotpaprika]

Obi-?!

[Jonathan immediately panics when he sees Obi jump off the building, and it isn't until he sees him land on the ground like it was nothing that he lets himself relax. He takes a deep breath before speaking again.]

I beg of you not to scare me like that. Being a captive here is enough excitement already, I couldn't bear to think what would happen if one of you got hurt on my watch.

[He doesn't seem too upset by Obi's stunt, however, as he quickly smiles again.]

Yes, a walk in the garden sounds perfect.

[kninja]

[With a big, florid bow, Obi motions for Jonathan to lead on and set their pace. In the meantime, Obi will walk beside him with his hands woven together behind his head and his footsteps light and jaunty.]

You know, what you said about protecting people on your watch really oughta be my line.

[Not that he's bothered. He's in as good a humor as always, and he seems happy to have gotten some airtime.]

You've sworn yourself to a different sort of service, haven't you?

[hotpaprika]

Well surely someone has to make sure you don't get hurt too, in that case.

[He smiles as he walks into the garden. Slowly, so he can properly take in the surroundings.]

I have, but I realize that I have more familiarity of this sort of situation than most others here. I may not be good at fighting like you, but I feel as though I have a duty to ensure that everyone here is safe.

[kninja]

Mmm. That's a kind heart you've got there.

[And it warms the cockles of his. Still, he raises a finger to make a point.]

Don't take too much on by yourself, okay? I say this 'cause you remind me of someone I'm real fond of. She has a habit of running herself ragged to help others, and I've seen her collapse a couple times because of it. We'd rather you stay in one piece, too, you know?

[hotpaprika]

[He smiles at Obi, small but genuine.]

Thank you, I suppose it's hard to remember sometimes that I'm not alone here. It's quite nice knowing that people here have my back. I know it's a selfish to be happy that more people being held captive but...

[He trails off, worrying that he has no real excuse for his selfishness.]

Whoa I lost this one

[kninja]

Hey, it's not like you asked him to kidnap us, too! Don't worry about it.

[Laughing, he shakes his head.]

Pretty sure it's not selfish not to want to deal with craziness like this on your own. Each of us is only meant to handle so much, and most things go easier with reliable teammates.
