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.

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! ]

We found ourselves on a different floor. Igniseri-san went off towards one room, and... I went ahead on my own to another. There was music playing, so I just... went towards it.

[AS YOU DO]

I think I upset Dandy-san a little.

[honeyedtea]

You just wandered off on your own...?

[ Just LOOK at her face when she hears that. ]

No wonder he was so upset! You could've been putting yourself in terrible danger, Mafuyu!

[sastruga]

Ah, I just--

[At the very least, she has the decency to look a little ashamed, now.]

...No, you're right. I shouldn't have done it. I really don't know what came over me.

[honeyedtea]

It's good that you understand but... things are already quite dangerous here as it is. It's not as though I have any reason to be worried about the others thus far, but...

[ After a moment of palpable hesitation, she reaches and takes Mafuyu's hand in her own. ]

Will you please promise that you won't put yourself in such a dangerous situation again? I can hardly stand the thought of something happening that we could prevent.

[sastruga]

[That makes her pause a little. Mielle taking her hand like that. There's an error message going off in her brain and it's almost as if time freezes, just for a moment.]

...Alright.

I promise.

[honeyedtea]

... that's good. Things are awful enough as it stands.. and I don't want to lose a friend if it can be helped.

[ She's still holding Mafuyu's hand. Her fingers are a little cold. ]

If something dangerous happens again... please let the others protect you.

[sastruga]

[There's some silence again, as she lets those words sink into her. Right. She isn't on her own here, be that for better or worse. They all have to rely on each other.

It wouldn't do to worry anyone.]

...Right.

[And she'll put her other hand over where Mielle is holding hers, gently.]

I'll do my best not to let anything happen, Mielle-san. So please, don't worry any further.

Okay?

[honeyedtea]

[ She forces a smile. ]

I'm quite certain I'll do more than my share of worrying while we're here, regardless. But I'm glad to hear you'll be watching out for yourself.

[sastruga]

The least I can do is remove one source of worries for you.
