Week 3

[bathymetric]

Good morning, New Rapture. A new day is dawning.

It's a strange sort of feeling, waking up on Sunday. Not the least because, well... you fell asleep on Friday, didn't you? Whether you sleep or not, none of you remember Saturday. Everything, by all accounts, seems to be Sunday. Weird.

It's not all bizarre feelings of lost time that you have to show for your efforts, though - it seems that another wing of New Rapture is ready for you. Perhaps there's more information to be found about your situation there... and maybe more about the history of this place, if that interests you.

There are still 23 of you left... Keep getting to know them. There's regains to get, after all!




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, post your ac, and you can reach either Mayor Fontaine or Eleanor for conversations! ]

[...Don't mind her, she's just carefully picking up that dress. This... she doesn't know it, not exactly. But something about it...]

Ah-- [Is he... shaking that bottle...] Obi-san, are you not familiar with bottles like this?

[kninja]

Nope!

[What’s a plass tick. He stares at the foam forming inside the bottle (which he’s now holding upside-down), fascinated.]

What kinda beverage even is this?

[sastruga]

It's a carbonated soda. It tends to have a lot of sugar in it, so it's pretty sweet.

...I wouldn't open it like this, though.

[kninja]

So it does open.

[Flipping it right side-up again, he squints at the cap. That’s obviously where it opens, but, like. How.]

Iunno how, so that’s no problem. [He sets the bottle down and notices she’s taken the dress.] Oh, is that yours?

[sastruga]

Ah... Not exactly. At least, I've never seen it before. Somehow, though...

[She holds it up in front of her. Ah... She thought so. Her size. Looks like it should fit perfectly.]

...Something about it feels familiar. [It's hard to put it into words. But when she looks at this, she remembers going to the SEKAI. Talking with Miku. That library...] Is it alright if I take it?

[kninja]

It'll look a lot better on you than it would on me, Little Miss. Hahaha.

[He waves at her to take it.]

This way, you won't have to send your clothes for washing every day.

[sastruga]

That is a big help. It feels a little silly wearing my uniform all the time, too.

[she says that like she hasn't turned new rapture into her own private school]

[kninja]

Oh, is that a uniform? I didn't realize.

[He thinks about it, then frowns.]

You have to have a uniform as a student?

[sastruga]

Yes, it's my school uniform. It's standard back home for schools to require uniforms.

It's basically the same as my middle school one, so I haven't really had to think about what I wear every day for a while now.

[kninja]

Huh. I only had to start wearing uniforms when Master knighted me, and only sometimes. Though I guess My Lady has one, too, as a court herbalist.

[A pause, and he backtracks.]

You prefer not having to think about it?

[sastruga]

Ah...

[...]

Hah, well, I'm not very good with fashion and such, so wearing the uniform is easier, I suppose?

[kninja]

Guess that makes sense.

[Does it? He's not sure. Not all women are as into fashion and accessories as his friend Yuzuri, for example. But at Mafuyu's age, for her to be so... over the chance for self-expression? For what seems to have been a long time? Feels slightly odd. Obi can't put his finger on why, though.]

As long as it's comfy, right?
