Week 4

[bathymetric]

Good morning, New Rapture. A new day is dawning.

Sunday arrives ahead of schedule again, bringing with it the creeping dread that this is just how this is going to go. Welcome to the murdergame cycle.

At least there's another section of the city available to you! This one even has some things to do without you having to make your own fun. Which also means there's more to find about this place.

There's still over 20 of you alive... maybe that's something to celebrate? It could be worse! But... at least one of you is an attempted killer, apparently. Either way, better keep talking if you want regains!



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to the fourth 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! ]

…

Are you certain this is going to contact the dead and not something else…

[giddyundertaker]

Hm... Should have brought along a weapon just in case.

[hotpaprika]

I do carry around my social distance device just in case, but I am certain we will only summon the dead.

[He pauses, suddenly looking nervous.]

... Although there is a worry with Ms. Everpetal being one of our fallen. Not necessarily for what she has done, but considering she is a demon...

[Like... that would technically be demon summoning, wouldn't it...?]

[inaclearing]

We could get a holy symbol, but it'd probably be bad for Nandor.

[Brett has left all that stuff in the weird dusty church where it belongs! He can't say he really expects this to do anything, but - whatever, what's the harm?]

[hotpaprika]

I do have my rosary on me still, I can just make certain that I do not sit next to Nandor.

[buriedstar]

What makes you think a physical weapon is going to work against the dead?

[giddyundertaker]

Do we have any other ways to defend ourselves?

[ Sir you may be some kind of urban wizard at home but we all got power nerfed, remember? ]

[buriedstar]

Anything that you would consider "holy" attribute.

[daimakaicho]

You wouldn't happen to have any lucky charms on you, would you?

[howveryglib]

Oh, do not be concerned about that. I have several weapons on my person.

[he's just like this okay.]

[vholran]

[ Amused look at this. ]

Something else like what, exactly?

[howveryglib]

Voidsent. ...Demons, I suppose. Those sorts of things. Given that Penelope was one...

[buriedstar]

That was kind of surprising wasn't it?

[ Said as nonchalantly as if she revealed that she actually wasn't a sorceress, or something else as casual. ]

[howveryglib]

I suppose so, yes. I have heard of people being corrupted into voidsent, but there was always a veil of legend over the whole thing...

[buriedstar]

Some rumors really are nonsensical until you see proof of them with your own eyes. Her whole grab for power is unfortunately very characteristic of mages gone mad in their quest for knowledge too.

[ He says, also as a mage. ]

[specialyellthing]

Come on Boss, we could take a few demons if we had to--

[howveryglib]

Well, yes. I simply want to be prepared, particularly since they might take one of us.

[specialyellthing]

We'll let 'em take Squeaks, and he'll drive em so crazy they'll return him right back to us!

[howveryglib]

I... am not sure if that would help, though I will admit that I am not intimately familiar with the particulars of summoning voidsent...

[daimakaicho]

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

[howveryglib]

[...]

...Forgive me. I often forget that you are a demon...

[daimakaicho]

[ She laughs. ]

Don't worry about it. It's not like it really matters here all that much.

[ Doesn't make the "summoning demons" comments that keep getting flung around any less amusing, though. ]

[howveryglib]

I suppose not, but it is the principle of the thing…

[vholran]

[ Okay, there's a sound of amusement at this. ]

[specialyellthing]

See!

Two experts!
