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, Misfire's been here for a while. He greets Adaman with a lazy wave.]

Don't worry - it'll be nice to have some company that can talk back. [He leans back in his position of sitting on the floor.] Which one's yours?

[timegazer]

I understand.

[Adaman nods his head and joins Misfire, leaning against the glass before he points to a black haired young woman among the crowd. She seems to be attempting to help take of some of the people there.]

That one, my older sister; her name is Mai. I've known her for as long as I've been alive, and she helped to raise me into the man I am today. [...] ...She's always tried to help others, and take care of them, and it seems no different now.

[dullshooter]

[Misfire watches Mai as Adaman elaborates. It's good to have some context for the people he's watching middling about - though, honestly, he hasn't been wondering about them too much.]

Sounds like the exact kind of person you'd want in a situation like this. [He points to the giant robot on the other side of the glass, which is pretty redundant, considering no one else here is likely to be besties with a giant robot.] See that guy there? That's Grimlock. And even though he looks absolutely terrifying, he actually needs help being taken care of.

[He has to wonder how much Grimlock even understands of what's going on.]

Even though I'm pretty sure we can all agree that none of us are glad about any of this - I'm glad he's in there with someone like your sister.

[timegazer]

[Adaman listens as Misfire speaks, nodding his head along. Grimlock certainly does look like a terrifying customer, but knowing that he needs help just like anyone else...well, it gets Adaman's look to soften a touch.]

Yes, I think that she'll be a good help to him. Mai is always the sort to look out for those around him; I think she'll do a good job in making sure he'll be alright.

[...]

Tell me more about him--he's a friend of yours, I take it, yes?

[dullshooter]

Er - kind of? We really just found the guy.

[Misfire shrugs.]

We were gonna use him as a - [Bargaining chip.] - we were gonna take him home with us and see what came of it. Being an autobot of renown - that’s the side of the enemy, bee-tee-dubs - we figured that no matter who ended up being in charge back home, bringing him in would work out.

[It’s not the most charitable reason.]

But when we found him, something was wrong. For starters, he wasn’t tearing us apart on sight. I mean, he’s the kind of guy you tell stories about to scare new recruits. But we realised he couldn’t write or say anything but his own name. Something - someone - messed him up before we found him. Plans changed and we’ve kind of just been…helping him. Or trying to.

[timegazer]

[...HE...SEES...

Adaman's face kind of...goes on a journey at all of that, but the fact that this guy apparently couldn't even say anything but his own name at first...well, Adaman's look shifts to one of concern.]

...Just what on Almighty Sinnoh's green earth did they do to him? [...] Unfortunate as the circumstances were, for all of you--he did not deserve that. I am...most glad, that he had someone looking out for him. Even if it was initially for the wrong reasons.

[He did not miss the 'use him'. Adaman isn't going to bring that up further, though his tone is serious.]

How has helping him gone? I imagine that he was doing much better under your care, than he would have been...?
