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! ]

Agreed.

[He's used to talk like this; if anything, he finds it comforting, in a way. Reminds him of the army.]

...This would be much easier if my uncles were here. They're better at strategy and tactics and the like than I am.

[howveryglib]

I would presume they are other members of the royal family, then? If so, they have likely simply been at this far longer than you have. With age comes experience when it comes to war, after all.

[they’re like. fortysome right. maybe late thirties at the youngest right.]

[visiblepattern]

Perhaps so; it's true that the other members of my family have been doing this for longer than I have, but I wouldn't say they have the benefit of age. They're not much older than I am.

[...He seems to realize how that sounds as soon as that's out there.]

...It's...due to magic things again...

[howveryglib]

…

I… see…?

[no he doesn’t.]

…

Should I ask for details, or am I better off not knowing.

[visiblepattern]

Ah, well... My profile says I grew up somewhere else?

[We're off to a great start.]

Time works differently there. It moves...faster, I think, compared to the world I'm supposed to come from. So I aged much more quickly than my family back home did.

[howveryglib]

…

I… why, though. I suppose I can see it being useful for preserving the line of succession, but…

[visiblepattern]

...At this point, I honestly don't quite...know. The reasoning behind all of that.

[Like, to keep them safe from the war, sure, but they all just ended up joining anyway...?]

[howveryglib]

...

I am sure there must have been some logic behind it. Even if it is not immediately apparent...
