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! ]

How is your world like? Tell me about it, for comparison's sake.

[The universe of Gurren Lagann!]

Hmm... The world I hail from has changed quite drastically in the last seven years. Humans were kept underground by the Spiral King - a cruel man who created and controlled beastmen to ensure we would never retake the surface. We turned their weapons - gunmen, essentially large robots - against them, resulting in the Spiral King's death.

Since then, our technology has advanced greatly. We've been able to not only reclaim the surface and build a life there, but to advance and better ourselves. We have created grapearls, weapons designed after the gunmen that are to replace them so we've no need to rely on our enemy's weapons any longer. Though I will admit that their designs have more than a few flaws we will need to work on going forward...

[But he's getting sidetracked, and Rossiu shakes his head.]

We have recently begun to explore not just the world around us, but space as well. We've come a long way since gaining our freedom.

[Like. A suspiciously long way. That's Spiral Power, baby!!!!]

[pairtner]

In other words, you're rediscovering your world, a world that had been kept away from your grasp, and have the capacity to build large robots for warfare. You're also starting to explore space, pushing the boundaries of what humans are capable of.

[........]

As far as development goes, yours isn't bad. I certainly haven't seen large mechas out of fiction!

[Apparently Aiba has found herself quite impressed with the thought of large robots. Oho, now that's cool!]

[onemillion]

That's correct. I'll have to see if I can draw them for you at some point - while I'm no artist, I did help in designing the grapearls so I believe I can get the basics across well enough.

[He's good at technical drawings not art, in other words.]

[pairtner]

I will have to remind you of that. Perhaps I should try to design one of my own...it would have its uses...!

[Oh, my, her eyes cloud with happy thoughts. Aiba routinely does silly entrances during the dream sections of her canon when they have to delve into a suspect or witness' somnium to get information, much to her partner's annoyance and bafflement, and now she's picturing herself just smashing into one while on a mecha. That would be so fun, she's sure]

[onemillion]

I would be delighted to see your designs - it could help having an outside perspective, and I'm sure you'll come up with something truly amazing.

[Good, Aiba deserves to have some fun!!!!]
