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! ]

[ ... Ah. He was going to stop in there and hour or so after everyone had left, but it seems everyone has not left.

Drat. He wanted to be alone.

But something stops him from simply leaving. The eel boy talked so fondly of his brother, he was so sure that brother was safe... Sure, the Undertaker may not be moved by who Fontaine chose for a hostage, but most everyone here was...

The eel's brother, though... The thought of those two being permanently separated is making his heart sink.

So he stands in the doorway for a moment, feeling sorry for poor Floyd before he pulls himself away...

Half an hour later, he comes back with a serving of fish and chips. He taps Floyd on the shoulder and sets the plate down in front of him. ]

Here. Brought you something from the restaurant.

[capreelcious]

[ He doesn't even notice any new figures walking in or out for the longest time. One would think the eel is asleep here and there, but he opens his eyes to watch the group of people mill about in the containment cube- especially his brother.

At this point he really thinks his instincts are getting rusty, what with not realizing someone is near, not even trying to sneak up on him. Floyd perks at the sudden presence, and with the smell of fish invading his nostrils, finally realizes he is hungry. ]

...Thanks, barracuda.

[ He carefully picks up the plate, taking a bite of fish and slowly chewing it. ]

Thanks, your fishsona choice got music stuck in my head.

[giddyundertaker]

[ He nods, smiling a bit at the nickname. Barracuda... A bit of a mouthful, but refreshing. It's been quite some time since he had a proper nickname.

The Undertaker sits down next to the eel, watching the captives for a moment before turning to face him. ]

Some rotten luck we've got, hm?

>:3c ehehehehe

[capreelcious]

Pff- somethin' like that. I'd hardly call it luck. Rotten luck is like... being second place in one of those big competitions with a lot of money and walkin' away with nothing.

Water Fountain guy is playing a stupid game of chess that's gonna end with him losing.

[giddyundertaker]

Eh heh heh...

[ Yeah, you sure remind him of some people. ]

Of course, the pawn's job is to survive long enough to reach the other end of the board and gain the upper hand. You're not going to be tempted by Fontaine's threats, are you?

[capreelcious]

[ Floyd thinks for a few moments before saying something. ]

I think it's one thing to be tempted, and another thing to actually go through with it. Last I checked, I don't take suggestions from Water Fountain guy, so we're good.

[ It's very tempting when someone you've been around all your life has been put in danger. He can hear both Jade and Azul in his head, however. Two people he truly respects- and what they would do.

"Let someone else make the mistake." "Play the long game." ]

Besides, the payoff will be worth it when I squeeze the daylights outta him.
