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! ]

Having the opportunity to learn about so many other worlds truly is incredible. I do hope the Professor enjoys the ones you're able to bring back.

[So here's hoping that everything goes well and no one dies!!!!]

[timegazer]

I'm certain that he will; that Laventon fellow will certainly be over the moon and stars, to say nothing of the rest of the Galaxy Team. Maybe I'll even bring a few of these back for Rei; maybe he'll recognize a few of these books, all things considered...

[onemillion]

Oh? What do you mean by that?

[Is he... from another world...????]

[timegazer]

I believe I mentioned rifts to you when we first arrived here, no?

Rei was someone who fell into Hisui from one of them. I haven't had the chance to pester him more about where he hails, due to things being quite chaotic back home...but he is one of the strangers from the rift who we have met. And a rather kind one at that!

[onemillion]

Ah, that's right.

[pretend i don't have the memory of a goldfish, shhhhh]

It would certainly be interesting if there are books here that he would recognize... I hope you're able to learn more about him when you return.

[timegazer]

[you're fiiiine friend!!]

As do I. That boy...he never received a warm welcome when he arrived in Hisui, so I've been told. No one seems to have tried to understand him, and with all of his work for the Galaxy Team and my own business within the Diamond Clan, I have not had the simple opportunity to get to know him properly.

[He tries to make use of all of the time he has, but most of it does go towards important work for the clan. He can't just spend all of his time as he sees fit, after all.]

...I must sound incredibly silly, to lament such a thing. But given that he has managed to quell many of our noble lords and ladies within the territory...well, it is an effort I would like to meet in kind, should I have the time to do so.

[onemillion]

I wouldn't call that silly at all. You do have work to attend to before such a thing, but there's no reason why you cannot wish you had the opportunity for it.

[He gets that. You have to prioritize your time wisely, but that doesn't mean you won't miss what you could have been doing.]

I do hope he's able to settle in well enough despite such things. And I hope you have the opportunity to get a chance to know him better as well.

[timegazer]

You're right. [Adaman sighs a bit, a little bit of a laugh in there, but...] There are some times where I simply wish I didn't hold all of these responsibilities, and I could do as I wish. But it's a silly flight of fancy; so long as I am needed, I have no intention of abandoning my post. But...

Perhaps Almighty Sinnoh will allow me the opportunity to carve out some time to do so.

[...]

But, I suppose while we have this time here, I shouldn't be wasting it prattling onto you about what-could-bes and maybes! Come; will you join me for a spell? I would be most curious if you had any suggestions as to good reading material!

[onemillion]

Of course. Though I will admit my interests tend to be technological, so perhaps they won't be quite as interesting...

[He has been reading so many books about advancements in technology and other worlds' technology. The ones from Aiba's world in particular are fascinating! But come on, he's got some interesting ones here, surely we can find something fun...]
