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! ]

[buriedstar]

Oh? Are you the type who isn't interested at all?

[ Be smug! ]

[howveryglib]

I would not say that, but I generally have more important concerns.

[live a little, man.]

[buriedstar]

Like what?

[howveryglib]

Matters of military and state. It is difficult to arrange anything long term given the amount of work and travel involved.

["i'm extremely married to my job."]

[buriedstar]

Even busy men should find time to play~. One night here, one night there, some might say it's easier if you don't know whose bed you'll sleep in next.

[ ;).

...Seo Dawon gets it, though? Maybe in his own way. ]

[howveryglib]

…It was far easier to find time for something like that when I was younger and had less responsibilities. It simply complicates things otherwise.

[okay maybe it’d also be easier if he didn’t have a clingy yand—oh…]

[buriedstar]

The atmosphere isn't perfect, but maybe you can make the most of it here in that case.

[ Less pushing and more just encouraging, use every time opportunity you get! ]

[howveryglib]

I shall take it under consideration.

[...]

Do you have an ulterior motive for this, or...

[buriedstar]

Oh, not really. Are you that unused to getting compliments?

[ If anything, Seo Dawon is too cool about this entire interaction. ]

[howveryglib]

No, but I have received enough given with the expectation of receiving something in return to have some suspicions.

[buriedstar]

Fair enough. Usually that is the case, but I'm not expecting anything in return.

[ He flashes him a star-studded smile. ]

And men aren't really my type, either.

[howveryglib]

...well, thank you for clarifying, I suppose.

[He doesn't sound particularly torn up about it, but he doesn't sound like he was totally opposed to it.]

[buriedstar]

[ He chuckles. ]

You're welcome. And thanks for not biting my head off or throwing a fit. Usually, that's how these things tend to go...

[howveryglib]

I did not think it worth getting upset about. Regardless of whether or not you had been offering anything, I did not think you crossed any particular lines.

[like he has been in the military This Long, he just kind of shrugs and rolls with it!]

[buriedstar]

[ His smile brightens. ]

So you're that type—I can appreciate that. You should do your best to stick around. [ Whatever "that type" means... either way, Seo Dawon starts to head towards the door, apparently satisfied by this conversation. On the way, he pats the other man on the shoulder.

Gaius very bare shoulder at that. His hand is cold, brr. ]

[howveryglib]

…of… course. I intend to.

[damn, he is kind of cold. and what a weird end to that conversation…

…he’s reminded of the emperor in some respects, actually. and he’s not sure how he feels about that…]
