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

The monks of Ala Mhigo are martial artists who tend to favor claws but can technically fight unarmed, so their need for lighter attire is rather obvious. There are also the shinobi of Doma, who rely on their stealth and speed in combat, along with several arts unique to their discipline. Those two are what most immediately come to mind.

[At least, in terms of what he thinks might interest Obi, anyway.]

[kninja]

Hey, that second one sounds like me!

[Wait, is he admitting--]

Shin-Obi!

[Ah. Of course, there it is.]

[howveryglib]

Thinking about it, yes, it--

long suffering sigh, like he isn't a dad]

[kninja]

You can laugh if you want to, you know.

[howveryglib]

...do I look like the sort of person who laughs often.

[he barely smiles...]

[kninja]

Not particularly, but it was a great joke. Still, I can laugh enough for the both of us if you’re not inclined, Cap’n.

[howveryglib]

I have no intention of stopping you.

[kninja]

[So he does, hands on his hips.]

Hahahaha! Oh, I'm so funny.

[howveryglib]

Indeed. I am sure you will have people rolling in the aisles.

[kninja]

Master says it bothers people when I act all serious.

["Bothers" is not the word Zen used. "Freaks them out" is closer.]

I don't enjoy it much either, to be honest. Even when times are... like this, [Like, when two children are dead,] if I can put people more at ease being my usual self... I put the effort in if I can, you know?

I... do think it helps, to some degree. So long as you are not forcing yourself, at least. It is not how I handle things, but I do try to keep calm and collected as much as I can.

[kninja]

If I couldn't do it, I wouldn't.

[Which isn't quite the same thing as not forcing himself.]

May not be my best material, though.

[howveryglib]

Do try to take care of yourself, at least.
