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! ]

…I wonder if they are attempting to imply something, if the dog does indeed belong to one of us.

[mgrgrgr.]

Though I must confess, I would almost feel worse for the person trying to hold Nero tol Scaeva captive…

[inaclearing]

Mmmm.

[Brett frowns, turning to fish in the pile for a second.]

I got this, too. [It's a Funko Pop!] It isn't anything I've seen before - that would be weird - but it looks a lot like a friend of mine. In...Funko form.

[howveryglib]

...

Honestly, I suppose I can potentially understand the appeal of such a thing applied to something else, but getting a rendition of a friend that looks so dead-eyed sounds particularly unnerving...

[inaclearing]

Right? It's creepy. Peregrine would hate this.

[He's still holding it, though.]

I'm...worried about why they made it.

[howveryglib]

…It does not seem particularly promising, no. They did say that no one we know has been harmed, but…

[inaclearing]

There's implications.

[Brett looks at the weird doll a moment longer before putting it back with the pile.]

I guess there's not much we can do about that now.

[howveryglib]

I mislike this, but you are correct. It is but one further means of trying to push us in a particular direction.

[inaclearing]

I wish there were more we could do than just ignore it. It's not much of a strategy.

[howveryglib]

...There must be a weakness that our captors have. It is only a matter of identifying it and exploiting it.

[inaclearing]

So we're watching and waiting? It's a little more active.

[howveryglib]

In some instances, that is the best course you can take, particularly if you wish to have minimal losses.
