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! ]

[ In the event it does, Seo Dawon takes no responsibility.

He shakes his head emphatically at the question, that's a no. Then he mimes writing things on his hand and answering the phone. He's a busy guy. ]

[dullshooter]

You stuff to do?

[He gets that much.]

What are you, an accountant?

[Does he say that with judgement? Yes. Yes he does.]

[buriedstar]

[ A shake of his head no, and then he rises to stand from his seat on the pool floor, gesturing out to the other empty end of the pool. He does this a few times, it kind of almost looks like someone giving a speech? ]

[dullshooter]

[Okay, okay. He’s got this.]

Talk…speak…speech…speaker! Politician?

[buriedstar]

[ Thumbs-up!

Close enough honestly, there's some nuance he can't explain given their current circumstances. Again he points back at Misfire with a tilt of his head. What kind of jobs do giant robots have? He's curious. ]

[dullshooter]

Me? I was - well I used to be a soldier.

[He mimes doing a pew-pew. He doesn't need to, but he does.]

Then I got arrested and now I do...uh...stuff.

[He's unemployed.]

I mean, sure, I'm nobody big and important like you, but I still have reasons I need to get back home.

[One of them being a robot dinosaur that needs to learn how to be a person again.]

I could probably wait around here for a bit, I guess...but I think I'd get sick of the view.

[buriedstar]

[ !

Maybe it's because he hasn't sat back down yet, but Seo Dawon swims over to Misfire and pats him on the shoulder a few times. Maybe he gets that sentiment, or maybe it's something else, but some kind of thought is there. ]

[dullshooter]

[Huh?

The pat is unexpected. Pretty weird. But it’s not that bad.]

…Thanks, I guess. [Was Seo Dawon driven to pity by how pathetic his life is? Perhaps.] Anyone told you you’re a good listener?

[buriedstar]

[ A tilt of his head and a satisfied smile. Just because he's heard it before, that doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy it hearing it all the same. Also since I forgot to note it in the last tag, if Misfire can feel the temperature of touch, Seo Dawon's is rather chilly! But you know, they have been in the pool a while, so.

Message delivered, Seo Dawon swims back to a reasonable distance and then proffers Misfire a wave, pointing up. Time for him to get moving. ]

[dullshooter]

Alright - see you later, man.

[Misfire waves him off, and will not stop to think about how he's going to get out of here on his own until much later.]
