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! ]

[Oh... Right, yeah his profile does spell it out.]

I joined Simon in the fight against the Spiral King, yes. He piloted Lagann and I piloted Gurren; Gurren was damaged fairly early on in the fight so there wasn't much I could do beyond watch.

[...after he regained consciousness, anyway.........]

Simon was the one we all agreed should be the leader following the Spiral King's death. He was our first Supreme Commander. But due to... several factors, I inherited the position.

[That is the most bare-bones description of what happened that is only barely accurate, but he tried. Getting into it beyond that is... difficult and not something he's done, but given his gaze has gone back to Simon and he looks a bit unsure about the words, there's definitely more to it.]

Hey, don't undersell yourself like that. You fought a dude with a... Wait, what's Gurren anyway? A mecha? Either way, that's hella cool.

[Anyway, he listens to the rest of Rossiu's story, and while he doesn't expect to get the full story, it's enough for him.

He directs his gaze back to Simon too.]

I mean, he's still your friend, right? I'm sure there's no hard feelings about it. You've definitely got the leader-y chops in my opinion.

[onemillion]

A... very large robot, essentially.

[He doesn't know what a mecha is despite being from a mecha series. It's fine. But anyway, that...]

I am glad you think so. I've been doing what I can to assist our people in a time of crisis, so I have some experience.

[Which is... sort of putting it mildly. But the rest of that troubles him greatly, as evident in his expression.]

...I know he doesn't. He's told me as much himself. But I...

[Perhaps if Simon weren't there, acting like nothing's wrong despite the horrid situation, Rossiu would shut his mouth and go back to internalizing it, because it isn't something anyone else needs to hear. It isn't something anyone else should have to deal with.

But he does keep talking, because Simon is here, and he still hasn't processed everything that happened.]

He is an exceptional fighter, but he isn't cautious. His actions resulted in a large portion of the city being destroyed. I used that to my advantage; to take power for myself and blame him so the people would listen to me. I did it because someone needed to step up to guide them, but my actions were inexcusable. Unforgivable.

[His hands shake at his side, though his gaze remains firmly on Simon.]

...He chose to forgive me anyway.
