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! ]

[Misfire snorts.]

If by assisting you mean ‘not shooting at every opportunity’ - then yeah, I guess. Pretty sure Krok would rather I sold Grimlock on to the highest bidder than have to patch up another tyrannosaurus-shaped hole in the door again.

[They may have had a recent argument about it. He may still be pissed off.]

[howveryglib]

…

Wait, we are discussing a giant scalekin-shaped intelligent machine?

[he’s giving off the “stoic guard dog with a furiously wagging tail” vibe again…………]

[dullshooter]

We’re talking ‘ferocious point-one-percenter’ that turns into a massive prehistoric lizard, yeah.

[howveryglib]

Oh. I see.

[that’s so fucking cool. holy shit]

Well. I can see why he is so much of a problem.

[dullshooter]

Throw in the fact that he's about twice my size and, yeah, it's a real handful.

[howveryglib]

I... see.

[okay. be helpful. be helpful.]

How well does positive reinforcement work? There is such a thing as too much, of course, but...

[dullshooter]

[Try not to think about how cool the robot dinosaur is Gaius. Stay strong.]

I've tried. Kind of. Sometimes I'm not really sure it's actually going through, you know, up there.

[He points to his head.]

Honestly, I'm impressed you've gone through this five times. I think that might be the most fearsome thing about you.

[howveryglib]

Ah, I see. I do wish you luck in that endeavor, at least.

[sorry. he can't stop thinking of how cool the robot dinosaur is...]

...in fairness, the five were... concurrent. I am not quite sure if that made it easier or harder, really.

[dullshooter]

[And absolutely no one could blame him.]

Either way, pretty impressive.

[Then, Misfire starts to snicker.]

If you think about it - they basically gave you the title of ‘The Scary Dad’.

[howveryglib]

...

I do not believe that is the actual explanation behind it.

[it was solus, though.]

[dullshooter]

How sure are you about that?

[howveryglib]

…

I am fairly certain.

[dullshooter]

So it’s not 100%.

[howveryglib]

...His Radiance can have his... idiosyncrasies.

[dullshooter]

And that’s what I’m going to put my faith in.

[you may well have just confirmed it, Gaius]

[howveryglib]

…it happened long before I took anyone in, though…

[assigned dad at promotion…]

[dullshooter]

That doesn’t help your argument as much as you think it does.

[ASSIGNED DAD AT PROMOTION!!!]

[howveryglib]

I do not know if that is the sort of thing he could have predicted, even if he is extremely skilled in many areas…

[dullshooter]

He felt your vibes. He knew.

[howveryglib]

[solus: ah the color of your soul is "dad." i see.]

...perhaps if I get the chance, I will have to ask him.

[emperor's probably dead now though. lmao.]
