Week 3

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! ]
howveryglib: gaius slicing away with his gunblade, heirsbane. that's what he named the thing. (I'M NOT SAYING THE LINE ADVENTURER)

[personal profile] howveryglib 2022-07-01 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Ho boy. Okay. He's probably going to have to check on Tommy but like. What a fuckin week, huh. Gaius isn't sure if everyone else has been getting all their regrets or just, you know, a specific one, but he's not sure if the variety is better than repetition! Sure, he regrets assigning Rhitahtyn to Cape Westwind now, but that's just war. People die. You live with it. He's lived with it. He could have avoided Silvertear Lake, true, but he'd have to deal with it at some point. It really said something that the "good ending" follow ups were vague and unconvincing.

It sure is annoying to have to listen to it, though! Especially when he decides to do a little vending machine therapy and gets an inoffensive batch, and then... a considerably more offensive batch. He's going to stare at that Funko-fied Livia for a moment and... decide he's gotta do something about that radio. He can't keep that thing in his room anymore. That's war, sure, but he doesn't need to be reminded of it and whether it could have possibly been avoided.

So he's going to head back to the art supply store with the radio to see if there's anything he can use to destroy the damn thing! The sculpting tools aren't particularly... common, but he can try them, at least. Unfortunately, it's kind of sturdy! And the damn thing keeps playing out things as he tries to break the thing...]


"Lahabrea, what have you done?"

"No more than was necessary... for my god to be reborn."

[He keeps hammering at it. He would be impressed by the durability if it wasn't so inconvenient. It maybe skips ahead a bit...]

"And from the deepest pit of the seven hells to the very pinnacle of the heavens, the world shall tr-"

[Slam. It goes quiet. Maybe he broke it? Maybe he broke it. He wipes off his forehead because he's been working at this for a while at this point...

...but lmao nah, a very different voice with that barely detectable digital underpinning chimes in after a second or so, and he freezes up a bit]


"-right, Gaius. I have turned down the work on the Meteor Project. I know His Radiance will be displeased, but there are simply too many unknowns-"

[...what if he shocks it with the Personal Space Reminder. will that get it to stop. He kind of hopes it will stop it...]

Vending machine

[personal profile] kninja 2022-07-01 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[When Gaius approaches the vending machine, someone else is already there, gazing upon the visage of a certain figure with a dubious expression on his face. Like, he doesn't say, "Who's this asshole?" But he doesn't have to.]
howveryglib: gaius with a hand up to his chin, thinking deep thoughts (yeah... tacos sound great for dinner.)

Uhhhh]


I… always find it quite bizarre to see what comes out of that machine. Why a portrait of the Emperor, of all things…
kninja: It's Master jumping out a window... (LOOK(ΦωΦ)It's a bird! It's a plane!)

[personal profile] kninja 2022-07-01 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
This is your emperor? He's very...

[How do you say.]

...I like his hair.

howveryglib: gaius looking sad he doesn't have a better writer (man remember how good 5.3 was...)

[personal profile] howveryglib 2022-07-02 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
...it was painted several decades ago, so he does not look like that now, of course.

[lol. lmao.]
kninja: (SPARKLE(ΦωΦ)And then I almost died!)

[personal profile] kninja 2022-07-02 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, of course.

[He doesn't know why that should be "of course," but okay. After a pause, he hands the painting over.]

Well, here you go, then. Take good care of him, Cap'n.

It is nice to have something of home, at least…

[he will go ahead and take it!]

[That sounds like Gaius's voice, what's going on in... oh.

Rossiu ends up watching from the doorway for a moment, silent and still like he's considering turning and leaving before Gaius catches him. But that moment has probably already passed, so he hesitates for just a moment longer before entering. While he doesn't exactly have the context for either conversation, the second one seems to be the bigger concern...]


...I suppose it makes sense it's difficult to destroy.
howveryglib: talking about something all intense like. (listen i don't like my writing either.)

[personal profile] howveryglib 2022-07-01 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
It does, yes.

[at least it’s just static at the moment…]

They have been reasonably useful in the past, but I am at my wit’s end with the damnable things.
onemillion: (☆ 62)

[personal profile] onemillion 2022-07-01 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I usually try to smother it when it starts doing that.

[Obviously it doesn't always work because it is a motive and that defeats the purpose of it, but it's an Attempt.]

But given how troubling the messages are, destroying it may be a better option.
howveryglib: lookin intense and down to the right. (someday i'll react to emerald weapon)

[personal profile] howveryglib 2022-07-02 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
I do not know if there is a time limit included in this particular incentive in the manner one was included last week, but I would presume tomorrow could be the last day for it. If they somehow replaced it, it may just be the best time to attempt to destroy it.
onemillion: (☆ 76)

[personal profile] onemillion 2022-07-03 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Better to remove it now, yes.

[And therefore remove any lingering temptation. Hopefully.]

I wonder what he'd do if none of us act on this... I imagine he would be furious.

[That's when we'd get the starvation motive, right??]
howveryglib: looking down, perhaps a little bummed. (i have so many regrets.)

[personal profile] howveryglib 2022-07-03 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
…he did immediately begin to take hostages after we managed to keep the peace for a week.

[…sigh…]

Art Store

[ Seo Dawon is drawn by the sounds of the radio or maybe the impromptu blacksmith session going on. He watches for a while, hands in his pockets and waits until the radio stubbornly resumes its broadcast to speak up. ]

Immunity to water, striking damage, fall damage... maybe a meteor would work?
howveryglib: chatting about something. (it's cool we hashed it out offscreen.)

[personal profile] howveryglib 2022-07-01 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
…at this point I truly do wonder if the thing would come out of a calamity unscathed.

[…he’ll try shocking it again.]
buriedstar: (𝐥𝐯 𝟓𝟒)

[personal profile] buriedstar 2022-07-02 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing is unbreakable, but some things require a bit of finesse~. Or lack of it?

[ He walks closer to get a good enough look at zapping pt 2. ]

Have you tried fire yet?
howveryglib: gaius with a hand up to his chin, thinking deep thoughts (yeah... tacos sound great for dinner.)

[personal profile] howveryglib 2022-07-03 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
I am more concerned we may not have the tools necessary to dismantle something like this...

[...hm.]

Not as of yet, though I am not quite sure what to use that would not, say, potentially destroy our ovens.
buriedstar: (𝐥𝐯 𝟏𝟗)

[personal profile] buriedstar 2022-07-03 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Unlikely, but you don't gain anything from doing nothing.

[ He cups his hand under his chin. ]

For an underwater zone this place is awfully adverse to fire... well, we wouldn't to inconvenience everyone else even with the restaurant. But it might be something to keep in mind?

[ When did this become a "we", it's a we now. ]
howveryglib: looking down, perhaps a little bummed. (i have so many regrets.)

[personal profile] howveryglib 2022-07-03 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It is understandable, really. Fires in enclosed spaces like this are beyond dangerous, and if something got out of hand there would be a serious chance we would all perish.

[...]

In a way that is not intended.

Vending Machine

[personal profile] giddyundertaker 2022-07-01 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh boy, someone else pulled a bunch of useless junk. The Undertaker was thinking of rooting through this fellow's garbage for something interesting...

But then he finds the spectacles and freezes...

Oh god. He recognizes the frames. Even after all these years, he could recognize these spectacles and all they stand for. There's even the crack in one lens that lines up almost perfectly with the scar on his face...

He instinctively picked them up, but he didn't dare try them on. Not here. Not in public, where people might see him. Sure, only two trusted people knew what he was, but if too many found out... No, they don't know the significance of the glasses, do they?

.... The Undertaker kneels down, pretending to put the spectacles back down but secretly hiding them away in those oversized sleeves of his and grabs at the calendar. ]


I say... What a peculiar assortment of rubbish we have here.

[ He hopes he doesn't sound too too shaken. Gaius better be distracted by other matters at the moment... Like that stupid radio of his? ]
Edited 2022-07-01 03:56 (UTC)
howveryglib: sometimes you just want an icon of the lower half of the face!!! (ah yes... the jaw...)

[personal profile] howveryglib 2022-07-01 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
[nah, he doesn’t have the radio with him now. he’s mostly just having a time with that Livia Funko…]

…yes. It is always rather peculiar, is it not?
giddyundertaker: (Was it a cry of broken sorrow?)

[personal profile] giddyundertaker 2022-07-01 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yes, please be distracting, little Funko... ]

You don't plan on giving some of this away, do you? You never know what sort of person might want to relieve you of some of this junk.

[ Please, PLEASE give him an excuse to take a random thing with him as well. ]
howveryglib: lookin intense and down to the right. (someday i'll react to emerald weapon)

[personal profile] howveryglib 2022-07-01 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I... do not need very much of it, truly. You may take some things if you wish.

[...]

...

I would like to keep at least one weapon, at least.
giddyundertaker: (Her smile could stop a thunderstorm)

[personal profile] giddyundertaker 2022-07-01 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not taking all the weapons!

[ Good, now to find something else to take off his hands so he doesn't start asking too many questions...

Ah! He plucks the Hollyhock from the pile with his free hand. ]


And what sort of flower is this?
howveryglib: he's lookin' maybe a little bored. maybe. (i'd rather be driving a mech honestly)

[personal profile] howveryglib 2022-07-03 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Hm?

[He turns to look at it, and... uh. hm.]

...Ah, I would not know. I am no botanist.
