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

I get it.

I didn't really know him... I'm not sure if I'm lucky for that or not. But he seemed like a sweet kid.

[sastruga]

Mm. I don't think I talked to him enough. So I didn't know him that well.

He was nervous a lot. He liked to read to pass the time. It's odd... it feels like I could still run into him at any time.

[prompocalypse]

I get the feeling you don't mean that as just a vague general sentiment.

I mean, I'd get it if you did, this whole place already felt like one big ghost town, but... elaborate?

[sastruga]

...No, I don't really know what I mean myself. I mean, we were all there when it happened. He's gone.

It just doesn't feel like it, you know?

[...Maybe it's just hard to wrap her head around it.]

[prompocalypse]

Yeah... I mean. I'm not used to people dying like this, where it's uncertain if we can even bring them back.

Feels like a weird dream, I guess. This whole... game, I guess... has kind of felt like that. Joy mentioned something about like... [Her lips thin.] ...Virtual reality or something.

[sastruga]

Like VR--

[...hey wait, though.]

Bring them... People can come back to life, where you're from?

[prompocalypse]

With the right magic... You can do basically anything.

[She smiles, a touch wistful.]

I wouldn't hold your breath about Adaman and Hodaka. We're a bit too late to bring them back using that method...

[sastruga]

...I suppose it wouldn't be that easy, huh? That's...

[Of course it isn't possible. She hadn't really gotten her hopes up, to be honest, even before Penelope said as much.]

...It's a shame.
