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! ]

What's that matter? Experienced women have their own kind of beauty.

[ Seo Dawon doesn't miss a beat so maybe he did know, or maybe he's the kind of guy who can roll with most things. He feigns injury, hand to his chest. ]

It's my eyes, isn't it?

[bootyhunter]

Your mouth also moves weird.

[Dandy grimaces.]

It's like it's sewn on! And some old, almost dead guy is pullin' a pair of strings that attach to either side.

Are you sure you aren't haunted?

[buriedstar]

That's a new one.

[ He's actually visibly thrown off by this??? ]

You really think I'm possessed by a ghost? Or some other kind of evil spirit?

[bootyhunter]

It's either that or a horny demon! You better hope that third horn starts workin' right.

[hello??? 911????]

Whoaaaaaa.

Maybe you two really are peas in a podperson-pudding.

[buriedstar]

Now that one I've heard before.

[ A sigh into an easy smile. ]

I'm not a pea or a demon. And you're the one who's going around asking everyone about their preference, so what does that make you?

[bootyhunter]

A private investigator.

[buriedstar]

I guess you can call it that.

[ In a matter of words... ]

I'm a guild master, for the record.

[bootyhunter]

Is that another name for one of those dungeons and dragons nerds?

Or it whatcha call a dude who hits people's fannys with a paddle in a GIMP mask...?

[buriedstar]

[ See icon. ]

Neither of those. I run a guild, which is a type of organization.

[bootyhunter]

[Dandy appears befuddled for a good portion of time, until it all FINALLY begins to click (thank fuck)]

2/2

[bootyhunter]

SO YOU'RE A LEADER.

[Those words are not yelled loudly, but whispered very intensely. Err, INTENSELY. Hence the capitalization...]

OF A SQUAD!

[buriedstar]

Yeah, pretty much. I'm glad you get it now~.

[ Why are you yelling, but this is preferable to the other topic. ]

[bootyhunter]

I also happen to be the leader of a squad. A squad that even was a band, for a hot second.

[*A band of idiots.]

We only had one performance, but we rocked the anti-gravity socks offa that stadium! You could say we set the place on fire.

[They did, literally.]

I'm the best lookin', though! Obviously.

[Also a lie. Dandy is no Uggo by any means, but when Johnny exists?]

I s'pose that means we've got somethin' in common.

[Unfortunately, with this phrasing, it may seem that Dandy is implying that they are both "Handsome Leaders." What he meant to say was that they are both just "Leaders," but, ah. Well! If the shoe fits.]

[buriedstar]

Several things, apparently. [ Lest they forget how this conversation started. ]

Like I said, don't judge a book by its cover. [ They've learned a lot about each other today, but at what cost. Seo Dawon gathers himself up to leave, though he waits to see if Dandy has any parting words. ]

[bootyhunter]

[Dandy is already on his way out! Nobody said this clown had class.]
