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

Depending on the meal, soju or a Cabarnet.

[dullshooter]

Are those fancy? They sound fancy.

[It's Seo Dawon. He's got his Standards(tm).]

[buriedstar]

Cabernet can be, though it depends on the vintage. Soju is the national drink of Korea, any business deal wouldn't be complete without it.

[ So yes, but also he's not immune to creature comforts! ]

[dullshooter]

[A business drink, oh my.]

I can just picture it now. You, suited up, looking sharp as a dagger, glass in hand. Closing a deal that's absolutely taking the piss, daylight robbery really, but the poor schmuck is too terrified to point that out to you. You raise the glass in a toast, and the deal is sealed.

[How accurate, on a scale of 1-10?]

[buriedstar]

[ Okay, he's straight up laughing now. ]

Unfortunately the last time I made a deal like that there wasn't any soju at hand. It really would have added to the atmosphere too...but the deal was sweet enough without it.

Enough that the system commended me for it, I think it was something like—

"You've succeeded in signing a fraudulent contract that no one with any conscious would create! A large number of bonus points will be added."

[ ...so, 10/10. ]

[dullshooter]

[Misfire laughs.]

It congratulated you on totally fleecing the guy? Sucks to be him.

[buriedstar]

And awarded me bonuses! [ It literally pays to be terrible smh. ]

Ah, but for Lee-kyung-ah, this was still the deal of a lifetime. A fact I make sure to remind him of daily~.

[dullshooter]

Of course. Wouldn't be like you to let him forget, would it?

[Poor, poor Lee-kyung.]

[buriedstar]

You know me well ❤~.

[ The heart isn't necessary, but it's very much heard. Another small chuckle later. ]

Lee-kyung-ah will learn in his own time, of course. The stipulations of our contract demand it.

[dullshooter]

How do you do that...?

[Nevermind. That's just one of the things we don't question about Seo Dawon.]

That thing must've had one hell of a fine print.

[buriedstar]

Ah, it's actually fairly broad? So broad that it has multiple loopholes. The more details, the more likely it was to go in his favor. But it's not something he realized, on top of letting me dictate the terms.

[ Perhaps the one area you should never trust Seo Dawon in is in business... ]

[dullshooter]

Oh. I see. Gotta love a loophole.

[He grins.]

What’d you con this loser out of anyway?

[buriedstar]

Would you think less of me if I said his life?

[dullshooter]

[Pfft-]

Come on, it’s me. Of course not.

[buriedstar]

Then I don't need to say anything else~.
