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

Interesting, yes. Definitely interesting. But also...

[He gives an encouraging smile, and makes a hand motion to say something like 'go on'.]

Ffff...?

[onemillion]

[...]

I have no experience with this, so to be honest, I'm not really sure how to get started...

[i'm so sorry misfire. he can probably figure it out if you want to give him an example!!]

[dullshooter]

[It's ok. If he can teach Grimlock how to spell, he can teach Roissu the 'fun' word.]

Figured as much. Don't worry buddy, I've got you covered. See this stuff? [He holds up the plasticine.] It's an artistic mush that we use our hands to make into shapes. Watch, and learn.

[He cracks open the pot in the middle of the store and scoops out some bright orange. His hands aren't exactly the best for this kind of work, considering they're like...metal, and all. Lots of indentations to be had. Bits to get stuck in the joints.]

You've just gotta roll it up and shape it out into whatever you want it to be. The possibilities are endless, really.

[The clay starts to take on a lumpy stick figure-like shape. With a delicate touch, he presses two eyes and a mouth into a lopsided :( face.]

Behold. [He holds up the ...thing with a misplaced proud energy.] It's you.

[onemillion]

[Oh!! Okay, he's following now, and despite Misfire's less-than-ideal design for this sort of task, he seems to be having a good time.]

I see... Well, I certainly appreciate that you thought to make one of me, but do I truly look that upset?

[yes.]

[dullshooter]

It’s Art - a capital ‘A’. It’s not about how something looks, it’s about how it feels. Deep down inside.

But also, yes. Yes you do.

[onemillion]

[Huh. Well, the first part is enlightening even if it's not something he really Gets.]

I'm really not upset that frequently... but I'll be sure to keep that in mind. It seems as though I'll need a little time to figure it out for myself.

[But!! He's determined now!! He picks out a few suitable colors and gets to work, trying to focus less on the details and more on the feelings. How exactly that's supposed to express itself through art he really isn't sure, but he's giving it an honest attempt!!]

[dullshooter]

And, in the process, figure out your self.

[He says that like he just dropped some hot piece of profound wisdom.]

Best of luck, bud. I believe in you.

[onemillion]

[Such profound wisdom... thank you for this blessing, Misfire......]

Thank you, I'll do my best.

[He's very hard at work so you've accomplished... something!! Maybe he's enjoying himself, it's sort of hard to tell.]
