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! ]

[Zindas starting to question why she’s gotta be the adult here. Like, it logically makes sense. But it’s normally not her thing.

Thankfully, she’s making an exception.]

No, no, Fish! Ya gotta show em how first, so they don’t break their thumbs.

[kninja]

Huh? I gotta go back that far?

[He waves both his hands to signal stop, stop!]

Whoops, okay, belay that order! Why don't we start with everyone showing me just how you make a fist, okay?

[Jonathan was quite obviously not a natural born fighter, but between his current home situation and everything about what's going on now, he feels that it's probably for the best to learn some fighting skills for safety reasons

He is, however, a little confused why they're bothering to ask him how to make a fist. After all, it's not a hard task for anyone who can close their hand.]

Like this?

[He makes a fist and

Yeah his thumb is absolutely on the inside of his fist. And it's clear that he doesn't see anything wrong with this scenario.]

[kninja]

Nooo, no no no. That's how you hurt yourself instead of the other guy. Here, lemme...

[He casually takes Jonathan's fist, uncurls his fingers to free his thumb, and then demonstrates proper punchin' form to him before lifting his fist for the rest of the class to see.]

Thumb on the outside, okay? Like this!

[hotpaprika]

[He blinks in mild surprise.]

Oh, I had no idea the thumb mattered so much! Does tucking my thumb in truly hurt like that?

[kninja]

Like Lady Zinda said, you can break your fingers like that. Not fun! And basically the opposite of defending yourself. The point is to get away as unhurt as possible.

[specialyellthing]

They’re civvies! Can’t hold it against em, I’ll bet most were born in some sorta peace time.

[kninja]

Don't kids sneak off to teach each other how to fistfight in other worlds?
