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! ]

Are you...joking? You do jokes?

[He's actually delighted.]

[pairtner]

Sometimes. Whenever it's not going to sound completely ridiculous.

[Aiba likes to think she has standards but they're nowhere as high as she thinks they are]

[dullshooter]

I think you might be missing a very crucial part of humor. That is -- the point.

[pairtner]

I like puns. Does that count as sufficiently absurd?

[dullshooter]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard you make a pun. How can I be sure you have it in you?

[pairtner]

Are you doubting my capacity for puns?

[Aiba sounds faintly offended. Wow, hey, she's not some humorless AI!]

[dullshooter]

I’m just saying, I’ve never seen you and puns in the same room.

[pairtner]

I make them regularly, just for my own amusement. Seven days without a pun makes one weak.

[Okay, that was a pun, hah. Apparently she had to prove she's capable of using one]

[dullshooter]

[…

It takes him a moment to clock it.]

Oh, that was painful. Point taken.

[pairtner]

Aren't puns required to cause distress?

[Groans are the way to measure a pun's effectiveness, aren't they? Yeah, that's how it works!]

[dullshooter]

They are. So, technically speaking, you're a pro.

[His annoyance gives way to...pride? You go Aiba!]
