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! ]

[Misfire shakes off some seawater from his foot, and leans nonchalantly against the machine as Gaius asks.]

Whatever makes you think otherwise?

[howveryglib]

I will assume that is an entirely rhetorical question.

[SIGH...]

Honestly, given the way in which some of the gifts are... targeted, I presumed it was Fontaine's fault and not a benefactor attempting to aid us.

[dullshooter]

Eh, I’ve had my suspicions the vending machine’s an independent agent ever since the porno incident. Just not that it’s a sentient one.

…Considering that our whole thing is turning into other things, not to mention the weirdness I’ve come across in the universe, I really should’ve seen coming.

[howveryglib]

Fair enough, though the sheer number of weapons the machine gives out seems... somewhat dissonant given her desire to help. But I wonder how much control she truly has over what she gives us.

[...]

Do you think... the vending machine could transform, then...?

[dullshooter]

It's a possibility that I'm not ruling out.

[Said with a little knowing nod, that he might've given it some actual thought.]

Alongside that it could be just a regular sentient vending machine. What do you think?

[In all your paternal wisdom.]

[howveryglib]

…I suppose it could be either of them? I believe Allagan machinery tends to have intelligence programmed in much of the time for whatever reason, but I have no idea if that logic is common elsewhere…

[dullshooter]

Try pushing the limits of your imagination a little push.

[howveryglib]

…

It could be some sort of… multi-armed machine with a different weapon in each hand, were it to transform? It is full of weapons, after all.

[dullshooter]

Not quite what I was expecting, but that is really cool.

[Almost TOO cool…]

Did you suggest that just because it sounded cool?

[howveryglib]

...

It seemed appropriate given the other knowledge we have about the vending machine.

[he totally just suggested it because it sounded cool.]

[dullshooter]

The knowledge of it liking to wield a bunch of swords in each hand? Nothing else about the rest of the junk in it?

[howveryglib]

…

There are more weapons than just swords in there.

[that’s not a good answer.]

[dullshooter]

It's okay to say you just thought it was cool.

[howveryglib]

…

Would I be incorrect.

[dullshooter]

Absolutely not.

[howveryglib]

I rest my case.
