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! ]

[hotpaprika]

I-I suppose, but I didn't think it would work as well as this!

[Right he needs to say something!]

Who are we talking to?

[bootyhunter]

[Oh, this is terrifying.

Is it one of the others? From the batches before.

He doesn't say anything, and is content to sit in shock.]

[hotpaprika]

[Jonathan feels his shoulders drop in disappointment.

He tries not to let his disappointment show too much in his voice when he speaks, but it's pretty obvious.]

Who is it that we are speaking to, then?

[ The planchette slips and slides a little. ]

[giddyundertaker]

[ He watches the planchette dart around the board. ]

Hm... What a peculiar spirit this is.

[hotpaprika]

[Okay now he's trying not to sound disappointed and annoyed.]

For what reason? Are you unable to, are is it simply a choice?

[bathymetric]

[hotpaprika]

[... Okay he will accept that answer.]

So you are aware of our captors? Are you against their vile ways.

[Rossiu's been here, I just forgot to comment earlier!! This one in particular catches his interest.]

Are you the one who has been leaving things for us to find?

[bathymetric]

[hotpaprika]

Oh! Well that is wonderful news! We can certainly use all the help we could get here.

Is there any aid you need from us? I am certain we can provide any help you need.

[hotpaprika]

I suppose that is simple enough, but I was hoping there was something more... actionable we could do.

[specialyellthing]

Stayin' alive is actionable, Champ.

[hotpaprika]

I suppose, but do we even have the faintest idea how long rescue will take? I feel like we must do something.

[hotpaprika]

... I suppose you are correct.

[He still can't help but feel helpless in this situation.]

How... how long do you think it will take for you to get us out of here?

[bathymetric]

[hotpaprika]

So... our key to freedom is friendship?

[O...kay he thinks he's starting to get it.]

But how can we keep each other from losing hope? What if Fontaine has another cruel motive for us?

[howveryglib]

I did suspect as much. I will thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide, of course—in as dire straits as we are in, anything helps.

[vholran]

[ A scoff from him over here. ]

[hotpaprika]

[He tries hiding a smirk.]

[vholran]

[ Enjoy this win, Jonathan, especially since Vholran for once will just sulk about this ~friendship and making connections~ nonsense. ]
