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! ]

I suppose it does make sense that if you got along with those who perished you would mourn their deaths more -- not that it means avoiding to befriend others is the right move. From what I have heard, some think bonding around will help.

[Which, hey, she doesn't think that's a bad idea! But she doubts it will do much good in the long run. Perhaps she doesn't put enough stock on it, but she's pretty sure moral principles and rationality are likelier to help more -- at least in her case, yup.

Upon hearing that question, the hamster stops connecting chips into the radio, staring at it, pensive. The human one, though, looks at Rossiu with her eyebrows raised]

I'm fine. Just doing what I figure others would do: pour all I have into what I can do. Thinking too hard about what has happened will only bring my mood down.

[In other words: she has been more affected about the last two weeks than she thought she would be. Aiba has enjoyed socializing with people, and she considered three of the four deceased so far her friends. Still, it seems she's holding up well]

[While he may not be entirely fluent in Aiba-speak, he can at least guess that it might be the case. After all, it's easy to think about a situation like this logically, it's much more difficult to actually live through it.]

Yes, that's understandable. It is very important to keep trying to move forward in whatever way we can.

[Whether that's emotionally, physically, or investigating everything and hoping we can put some of these clues together.]

If there's ever anything I can do for you, feel free to ask.

You offering is enough. I have been thinking for a while about something Forrest said once, about bonds and how it could help. He said...

[Aiba's voice changes to Forrest's:]

It's probably odd to say in a context like this, but I'm glad you've been making friends here. I think it's...important for us to do that, even if it makes it harder.

[Pretty flawless imitation, yeah]

...so I will keep your offer in mind if anything happens. Thank you.

[Oh, neat!! Aiba has so many cool abilities...!!]

Yes, I agree with that. I'm glad that I could offer it, then.
