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! ]

[dullshooter]

Oh yeah. No doubt.

[He waves it casually.]

Does that mean you won’t need it for the whole of our long and boring stay here?

[bootyhunter]

[His lips curl into a pouty frown.]

If I'm gonna get my rocks off, I'm gonna wait around for the real thing.

[Oh! He sounds surprisingly resolute about all of that, except-]

What do you want?

[dullshooter]

What do you have to offer?

[bootyhunter]

[Instead of saying anything he's gonna sigh and turn on his heels in the other direction??? Dandy...

He will be sneaking a not-so-subtle glance over his shoulder to check if Misfire is looking, though.]

[dullshooter]

[He's looking. He's waiting.]

[bootyhunter]

Nothin' but the shirt off my back, and I'm pretty sure you don't want that!

[dullshooter]

Haven’t you gotten anything from the vending machine?

[bootyhunter]

...You can use that thing for free?!

[dullshooter]

I wish, but all I did was get my hand stuck.

[Not his proudest moment, but he doesn't have much to pull from in that department.]

Haven't you gotten those little coins by your recharge slab one morning?

this is oocly my fault butt um

[bootyhunter]

No! No, holy shit, no!

[He gasps, in a very pointedly over-dramatic fashion. It's hard to tell that he's being serious, but unfortunately he is.]

EERRRRME-GAWWW-AAAAH-AWD!

[hate that this sometimes somewhat neckbeardy canon was released in 2014 and now i must be characteristically accurate see you in hell jeff!]

Is it because I've been a... A bad boy?!

[oh god here we go]

[dullshooter]

...Based on those words you just said?

Yes.

[bootyhunter]

It's probably because I haven't bagged any chicks ass of yet!

[Yes, he really did say "ass" instead of "as!" He truly is losing his mind.

Dandy grabs either side of Misfire's blocky face with a bizarre sense of urgency, even though this necessitates tippy-toe standing.]

You've gotta help me.

[dullshooter]

Like...be your...

[He grins. It's awful. A death knell.]

Wingman?

funeral dirge plays

[bootyhunter]

I was thinkin' more like my own personal FBI agent- Y'know, like a female body inspector?

...But I'm not sure you'd get the criteria right.

[dullshooter]

Hey, I've got it pretty decent. Enough to know Hild, Joy, and Zinda are the only 'chicks' here.

[He's not sure if Aiba counts. But she can be allowed to fly under Dandy's radar.]

i might be ooc for writing dandy being like HM MAYBE NO HORNy???? idk

[bootyhunter]

Joy's off the list! She's only into other ladies and looks too much like a kid for my liking.

[He says that but if he didn't know... -.- he's just butthurt tbh]

Hild's hot but she's got a babe-a-licious baby floatin' around the cosmos somewhere, and she's probably even hotter! [dandy doesn't know for sure that hild has a daughter, this is all in his imagination] And Zinda's cute as all hell, but when were together I didn't feel any-

[He snaps his fingers several times to illustrate.]

Fireworks, baby.

[dullshooter]

['Babe-a-licious baby' on god he wishes he could turn into a chair and hit dandy with it. With himself. Somehow this is possible.]

That's too bad.

[Truly.]

Guess the chicks will remain un-bagged then.

[And may they forever be]

[bootyhunter]

I don't get it! Usually when I'm with a girl, [Of the appropriate age, please note he means an adult woman, Hild is older than she looks-] it's like I can see a whole 'nother future where we're together in my-

[Mind's eye, almost as though he's looking into an alternate timeline.

Another life.]

Nevermind.

[dullshooter]

Maybe you need to start taking a 'leap of faith' approach?

nsfw, i am gomen, poor jeff, ur eyes

[bootyhunter]

You mean like jumpin' up and down until I fall into the arms of a beautiful woman?

[You would think he was done, and yet...]

It would be nice to have my chin land in somethin' soft...

[dullshooter]

[WITH GREAT EXHAUSTION:]

No.

[bootyhunter]

Then whaddya mean? I don't think I'm catching your drift, baby.

[dullshooter]

Hook up with someone and just feel it out.

[and NOT in that way.]

You don't have to be sure of your whole future together. Like, who does?

[bootyhunter]

I know that!

[He snarls, clutching his chest with a single hand.

Why does it feel like a scab has been peeled back, and yet another wound has been forced open?]

I'm a drifter. Which means that I always go with the flow! And where the flow goes, nobody knows, and...

I'm good at ridin' the waves. It's just that this one comes with a death wish! And I'm not keen on crashin' down this time.

[dullshooter]

Alright, geez. Touchy, much?

[He raises an eyebrow.]

Have you ever considered [Men?] that you don’t need to find a partner in this hellscape? I mean, I’ve been single for years, and it’s been fine.

[Perhaps all his life. Or we can stop and think why Thundersaur’s dying wish was for Misfire to be broken out of prison. There’s not many reasons why someone would waste a dying request on Misfire. But this possibility is almost equally as baffling.]
