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! ]

You are. Not that I doubted that, but I wasn't anticipating needing it so soon.

[Or at all!! He doesn't like inflicting his problems on anyone else.]

[visiblepattern]

There's no shame in needing to talk to someone. I know not everyone here will, but I like to let people know that I'll listen, at least.

[His gaze darts over to the glass, trying to follow where Rossiu was looking earlier.]

Is that one your friend?

[...The one who's actually reasonably chill about this and looking like pretty much the exact polar opposite of you.]

[onemillion]

[He nods at that then then follows Forrest's gaze.]

The one in the rather bold outfit, yes.

[That is not a shirt, Simon.]

He's overcome overwhelming odds many times, so I have no reason to worry about him. It won't stop me anyway, but if anyone can find a way to get them all out of there, it's him.

[He really does sound certain of that, at least!]

[visiblepattern]

He seems an interesting sort.

[Even if he is wearing a tremendous pile of "what." He's pretty sure that's not a shirt???]

If you trust him, then I trust him too.

[onemillion]

Seven years ago he single-handedly defeated the Spiral King.

[Well. Okay, so Rossiu helped get him to that point and Nia was there encouraging him and also helping with the final fight, but it's not like Rossiu knew about that part!!]

After that, he encouraged us. He endeavored to help everyone find a place in the new world we were building. He was patient and kind and refused to give up on anyone or to turn a blind eye to those in need. Even when he clearly wasn't enjoying his position, he understood the importance of it and did his best.

[It wasn't perfect, not by a long shot, but Simon tried really damn hard and that means something.]

But he's a fighter at heart, and I think he's happiest when he has something to fight for. So yes, I trust him.

[visiblepattern]

[Wow... Like, legitimate, unironic wow.]

Having someone like that as a leader... Well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little envious! He sounds incredible; I can see why you believe he'll be able to help everyone in there.

[onemillion]

Yes. He truly is a remarkable person. He's also very good at inspiring all those around him, so I believe they're in good hands.

[It won't be long before everyone in there will want to row row fight the powah, probably.]

[visiblepattern]

So even if we don't find a way to save them ourselves, there's a chance that they'll be able to do it on their own. Perhaps they'll manage something that we haven't and get at Mayor Fontaine in some way...

[In, you know, the worst-case scenario and we all have willpower and don't just straight-up merc someone.]

[onemillion]

Yes, precisely. He may be paying more attention to us than to them... so that could work in their favor.

[okay but that would be damn hilarious though. murdergame over week 1, everyone go home.]

[visiblepattern]

[Wouldn't it just!]

That's what I'm thinking, yes. So the situation is still bad, but it's far from hopeless, I think.

[onemillion]

Let's see how this goes, then.

[Ganbatte, hostages. You've got this!!]

...Once again, thank you. I'm sure many of the others will find talking to you to be just as helpful.
