Week 2

[bathymetric]

Good morning, New Rapture. A new day is dawning.

It's now been a week since you were all captured. Perhaps you've already settled in. Perhaps you're already confident that you'll make it out of New Rapture alive. How serious about this could Mayor Fontaine possibly be, really?

While there still may not be much to do in your little hotel bubble, you've at least been granted a little more now - some kind of mysterious room and a sizeable library of all things. And in all the places you've looked so far, you've found valuable information, and even learned some of the story of New Rapture along the way.

Make sure to keep talking to the others! You want to keep those regain coins flowing, don't you?




SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to the second week of Unknown Seas Round 3! Please make sure to mark any investigation toplevels accordingly, and you can reach either Mayor Fontaine or Eleanor for conversations! ]

Well, I am set to go to university and become a doctor, so it wouldn't do for me to fall behind!

[So she's just gonna study, like this is Normal. So Normal. It's fine it's just... st... study camp......]

I'll gladly help you pass the time, then. I wasn't sure what sort of books you like to read, so I just grabbed a few books that seemed interesting...

[hotpaprika]

Oh I'm quite interested in most books! Although I was curious about some of the books from the future that were in the library. I had considered checking one out but I fell asleep before I could.

[sastruga]

My, you must be a very prolific reader! I mostly end up reading what's assigned in class these days, myself.

[She sets the books down, starting to sort through her little pile.]

Um, let's see... I brought some books on poetry, some short story collections, some sci-fi...

[hotpaprika]

Oh, I would hardly consider myself prolific! I simply had to become quite literate for my studies, and a book is a nice way to past the time!

[What was there even to do in Victorian times anyway besides read or get drunk

Jonathan listens, and a particular genre stands out to him.]

My apologies, but that is "sci-fi"?

[sastruga]

Ah-- Right, um.

It's short for science fiction. It's speculative fiction about futuristic or impossible concepts, but rooted in what could be achieved by science. Things like time travel, visiting other planets, and things like that.
