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! ]

Before then I was unaware that my Mina was in danger! I... I had to try something to at least reunite with her! Surely you must understand that this wasn't due to carelessness!

[kninja]

[Obi raises his hand like they’re in class.]

I started it, sir. And I encouraged him.

[fuckingguy]

[ He looms angrily for a bit longer, but really, what's he going to do here? ]

Fine. But Jonathan? You are now on official suite probation. [ And he will figure out what that entails... eventually! To Obi: ] You, eh, I can't really do anything about, so just don't do it again?

[ He pauses, considering something in silence. ]

You should... really not try to get into that room.

[kninja]

Why not?

[Does Nandor know something he doesn’t? ‘Cause, like. That sounds fake.]

[fuckingguy]

[ AH, HE'S FUCKED HIMSELF INTO IMMEDIATELY ADMITTING COMPROMISING INFORMATION ONCE AGAIN ]

You saw the crispy little guy with the tail in there?

[kninja]

[“Crispy”????]

Uh, yeees? I saw the tail, yeah.

[fuckingguy]

Very distinctive, yes. Does not like it when you pull it. Anyway, he is... kind of a big deal where I am from.

[ this clarifies so little ]

[kninja]

Is this another case of “more dangerous than they look”? ‘Cause Lady Zinda already warned me about another one of them, and let me tell you, it’s not making me any less anxious to get in there.

[fuckingguy]

No — no, you should definitely not go in there to rescue your girlfriend or whoever! He is actually a very cool guy once someone is there to translate, but the thing is... if this murder configuration starts happening, he may not hurt anyone in his group, but if you show up there he is [ and his voice is like steadily going down in volume as he says this, in large part due to jonathan being here ] maybe gonna rip your throat open and lay waste to all your organs.

[kninja]

[Whoa, uh.]

…

[Obi blinks, then frowns.]

Wait, why me? Why’s it any different if I get in there? If he’s dangerous, he’s dangerous, right?

[fuckingguy]

[ He's outright whispering now, casting an occasional glance at Jonathan's bedraggled ass so as to make sure they aren't been listened in on. ]

Yesssss, in theory that is true — but we are in a separate murder thing! So maybe eating you isn't gonna start a trial, and then obviously he's gonna eat you!

[kninja]

Oh. Ohhhhh!

[WHOA. UH.

Thankfully, Obi catches all these glances at Jonathan before he can exclaim at the top of his lungs, “HE EATS PEOPLE?!” Instead, he glances at Jonathan, too, then screens his mouth with one hand, leans in, and whispers urgently:]

He eats people?!

[hotpaprika]

[He gives Obi a worried glance. It was technically Jonathan's own idea to sleep in the meeting room, he just didn't realize that Obi had gone there first.

When he turns back to Nandor and hears his punishment, however, the frustration is immediately replaced with worry as he feels a sick feeling in his stomach.]

... Please don't lock me in my room.

[That came out much more meekly than intended.]

[kninja]

[He’s helping! It’s called lying, Jonny!]

[fuckingguy]

... Okay? I... did not say I would.

[ You can practically hear the cartoon blink sound effect as he stands there! ]

[hotpaprika]

O-oh, when you said that there would be a suite probation, I feared that I would be locked in my room again.

[Sorry buddy your idol kind of sucks.]

[fuckingguy]

Is that what Dracula did...? Because, you know, it feels like this is kinda a personal thing for you.

[hotpaprika]

[He nods, looking away from Nandor.]

I am afraid it's rather personal.

[fuckingguy]

[ oh thank god, time to immediately move on!! ]

Well, I am not ruling it out if you try this shit a third time... but no. [ He says this without looking at Jonathan, which makes it easier: ] A lot of people would be quite sad if you were to stop occurring, Jonathan Harker — probably not the Undertaker or Seo Dawon, but many regardless. You must protect your soft little life for them.

[hotpaprika]

[He sighs, defeated.]

I suppose this experiment has proved fruitless. I promise to take care of myself from now on.

[Watch as he does another stupid thing in a couple of days.]

[kninja]

[Nodding!]

And if that’s not enough, I promise to take care of him, too.

[hotpaprika]

Likewise, I will protect Obi as well!

[Sure Jonathan is much weaker than Obi but his heart is in the right place.]

Will delete if asked.

[giddyundertaker]

Oi! [ The Undertaker is right here, dude! ] I'd have you know, I'd also hate to see someone like Harker "stop occuring," as you put it!

[fuckingguy]

[ He straight-up yelps as he whirls around! ]

The fuck did you come from?!

not here

[buriedstar]

[ Got it in one.

Ok his opinion if he were actually asked this wouldn't be this much, probably. ]
