Week 2
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! ]

no subject
Speaking of...all of this, though, he's been trying to place where he's heard the speech patterns this...thing is producing, when it seems to suddenly hit him like a sack of bricks - between the speech and the wildly disparate height listed for her, this is- ]
I'm...sorry to hear that... Aiba? Is that you?
no subject
[Nothing gets Aiba to leave aside any mood for shenanigans like immediate danger right in front of her. She's so not going to be in good mood until, like, next week]
Good to meet you face to eye for once, though.
no subject
Likewise.
[...It feels a little mean to ask, but...]
Do you have another plan of action? Seeing as breaking the glass didn't work out.
no subject
[Aiba turns on talking height with Forrest -- or at least closer to that]
My partner Date and I are connected. If I manage to find a weak point anywhere in this room, I should be able to communicate with him and plan a course of action. I just need...any kind of weak point. There has to be one!
[Okay, saying that is a little foolish, but hey, it was never said Aiba was a perfectly rational machine]
no subject
[Forrest, what- ]
The chamber shares a wall with the hallway outside. Maybe someone can feel the vibrations through that, at least...
no subject
[Aiba jumps off the chair she was supposed to get onto but apparently I botched the meta on the last tag what the hell me, and her human projection appears. Hah, seeing both versions of Aiba at once -- one dragging the chair with her, the other with Forrest, for conversation. Technology is fun!]
If this manages to get their attention perhaps your hostage could be talked to. I'm sure you would feel reassured if you could have a conversation with them...
no subject
Oh, I...
[He trails off a bit, like he's trying to figure out what he wants to say; he's hesitant in a way that he usually isn't.]
That...might be nice, yes.
no subject
Was that a...touchy subject?
[The hesitation was noticeable, compared to what she has seen of Forrest so far. Even though she sometimes scolds her partner Date for his bad social choices, she's no better, although in her case it's due to lack of practice instead of a lack of tact]
no subject
[...]
It's...probably silly to feel that way, with everything going on.
no subject
[Aiba tilts her head]
But a word can soothe one's heart sometimes. I believe as long as she knows you're here, it will be encouraging -- for both of you.
no subject
[Deep breaths.]
If they can hear you in there, then I would like to speak to her, yes.
no subject
Of course.
[Were she more used to comforting someone, she would add he shouldn't blame himself and that this isn't his failing at all, but she didn't think of saying it. Instead, she pointed at the interior of the meeting room]
I will begin slamming the wall. Please go into the room and inform me if at any point they show signs of noticing anything. I will do this slowly and methodically.
[Hell yeah, teamwork! It's almost a shame it won't have any results, but alas, that's how things go]
no subject
He will gladly watch for any signs that the individuals in the room are noticing the banging against the wall once it starts, or that they care about it in any way. Or that they can feel it, if they're leaning on it on their side. But no? What the hell.]
...Aiba, they don't seem to be noticing.
no subject
Someone, hear us already! Any of you! Anyone! Date, surely you must be hearing me! You idiot, I'm right here...!
[...]
...please...you have to do something, Date...
[Even though she keeps telling herself it's fine, she did hope she could reach him one way or another, but nothing is working at all, and no matter how much she plays up the role of tsundere, she cares deeply for him. Wanting to reach him isn't only for professional reasons, she just wants to be with him again]
