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! ]

[Normally, Dandy being Dandy(tm) about his mom would at most get a mortified laugh out of Hagakure, and he knows that Dandy is just trying to lighten the mood...but he's still very high-strung in the moment.

He whips around, tears having welled up in his eyes at this point, and lashes out.]

Seriously, man?! I thought she might be dead up until today and now she's in danger of being put in one of these things!! Can you not for like two seconds?!

[...he's definitely going to feel bad about this later and apologize for it, but like. Man.]

[Dandy's mouth hangs open in surprise.

In a quiet, surprisingly docile manner, he nods his head up and down, giving Hagakure more space to get whatever he's got on his mind out for now.

He's overtaken by Hagakure's grief- In theory, he should understand it, and he does. Dandy is a sensitive creature, provided that his heart is open. The pyonium that gives him his ability to think, feel, and simply just be among a variety of other things...

A case could be made for it being sensitive to the emotions of others. So much so that Dandy, too, hurts when the other people around him are hurting too.]

...Sorry.

[sixthnonsense]

[Hagakure lets out a long, shuddering breath. As the fog of red dissipates, he sees Dandy back down hard and only then does he realize how harshly he'd snapped at his friend in the moment.

The guilt creeps in quickly, and he stammers:]

N-No, I'm sorry too. I- I just-

[He instinctively reaches up to try to wipe the tears in freefall down his cheeks, as if there's hiding any of the evidence at this point.]

I'm scared. She's all I got.

[bootyhunter]

[Dandy blinks once or twice, the pain beneath his sternum worsening instantly. The ache suddenly thrums with a more frequent, stabbing intensity, as if a knife is being pulled out and then pushed deeper and deeper every time. That sensation then screams, much like a living entity with its own volition, clawing about, threatening to burst outwards.

Only it can't. His body can't be used to open portals to other dimensions anymore.

Dandy's power lies dormant.]

...Well, yeah.

[Dandy has no memory of own his mother, and it's debatable as to whether she ever existed in the first place. He holds no image of a nostalgically warm childhood home, but he does find himself yearning to return to the beaches of Hawaii now and again, despite not having been to Earth's surface in decades.

She's one of your people. They're important! They can be just about everything to ya, baby.

[His eyes and open and close slowly this time.]

No wonder you're so pissed off.
