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! ]

[Hm. You know. He looks at the shoot em up game Hagakure’s standing at and nods.]

I imagine it is not much of a substitute for true practice, but I suppose it cannot hurt to make sure my skills have not dulled over the weeks.

[sixthnonsense]

[Okay, when Gaius approached Hagakure was truly expecting this to be the longest shot he's ever taken. Gaius just seems so...beyond this kind of thing!

...but it turns out he's a cool dad. Hell yeah.]

So a gun's your weapon of choice? I can see it! And hey, we can pretend the zombies are Fontaine. It's pretty good stress relief.

[howveryglib]

A gunblade, actually, so it is not quite the same. Though I would like to think my marksmanship is good enough for either.

[It is kind of lighter than he’s used to, but it’s not like it’ll fire real bullets or have any recoil.]

…and I will admit, I was thinking much the same.

[sixthnonsense]

Duuuuude, a gunblade! That is so badass. [Not only is Gaius a cool dad, he's a cool JRPG to the highest degree dad.] If the vending machine coughs it up, could you show me? I've never seen one in person!

[He almost said "in real life"...but thankfully they are spared from that sort of conversation.

With Gaius in position, Hagakure shows him how to check in as player 2.]

Haha, I knew you'd agree! You're always so done with him at the trials!

[howveryglib]

Ah, certainly. I will admit that I miss having Heirsbane around, given that it is not often that far from my person... I do hope it is given to me rather than someone else, though.

[cool! he's going to get into position.]

And why would I not be, truly...

[sixthnonsense]

[Sorry we are derailing this round for a brief moment because Hagakure has to give Gaius the most confused stare.]

"Hairsbane"? Like, does it make people bald when you shoot 'em or something? Sounds horrifying.

[howveryglib]

…

“Heir” as in successor, not “hair” as in flowing locks.

[sixthnonsense]

Ohhhhhh. [He laughs.] Damn, now it's just metal. "Your bloodline ends here!!" level stuff.

[OKAY, he will stop with this stupid shit now and select a stage for them to play!]

It starts out easy to getcha used to it, but it'll get harder the longer we survive. You ready to go, Bae-san?

[He resisted nicknaming for 4 weeks.]

[howveryglib]

…yes, it certainly is.

[honestly he has enough parsing “kids these days” experience to kind of maybe figure out that “metal” isn’t literal. and that it’s positive.

…

but also yeah it’s literally metal it’s not like they have bluespirit weapons in Garlemald]

…and I…

[…he should just accept every nickname as it comes, it’s invariably better than poor little woof woof.]

I am quite prepared, no matter how challenging it becomes. Let us begin.
