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! ]

There's a lot I can do despite my size. I dare say I even could play bowling by myself in that bowling alley.

[...maybe. Who knows, really. It depends on the weight of the ball she uses]

1/2

[fuckingguy]

[ DOUBT... ]

At any rate, if you are truly unconcerned about your tiny physical form... then yes. Fine. I, Nandor the Relentless, accept your challenge. Just as the peasants danced in the streets when their monarchs' heads rolled in the gutters, we shall dance to the death this very mid-afternoon!

[fuckingguy]

So, how does it work again...?

[pairtner]

Asking that question after that boastful proclamation ruined the effect completely.

[Sometimes you should keep the comments to yourself, Aiba]

Stand on that mat. You must step on the arrows the screen will display. The more accurate you dance, the better score you will have at the end.

[fuckingguy]

It would be far worse to say it, then make a fool of myself because I do not know the instructions.

[ perhaps....... he could have simply not said it........................ ]

At what point does the revolution enter the picture?

[pairtner]

I believe the revolution is...the act of overthrowing your opponent's pride and self-esteem by crushing them with your own dance skills.

Or at least that's how I interpret it.

[Yeah, she has no idea why it's called revolution]

[fuckingguy]

[ No, this makes perfect sense, he's nodding sagely right now!! ]

You are probably right. Now, are there any more instructions, or shall we commence with this battle of skill?

[pairtner]

We shall commence. If I lose, I will...

[.........]

How will you be rewarded if I prove to be no match for you?

[fuckingguy]

[ ............... ]

You can change... whatever you call [ indicating the projection form ] this thing, right?

[pairtner]

I can. I created this form myself. [And she also made her little hamster form because she's all for cuteness] Why do you ask?

[fuckingguy]

It's just, your tiny form has been reminding me of something. For weeks, I have wondered, but only recently have I put a finger on what it was.

Do you know of the minions?

[pairtner]

...I don't like where this is going.

[There probably is some sort of alternate Minions in her world, if Kusemon, Black Window from the Avengers, and Hideo Kojima the director all existing are any indication.

Aiba already feels dread when she heard that question]

More details, please.

[fuckingguy]

They are these little yellow imps in overalls? Kind of shaped like...

[ oh God, he's miming the shape out ]

Well, like you. And some of them also only have one eye. [ ... ] If you are not familiar, we may have to delay the victor's spoils.

[pairtner]

[A flat diamond appears, like a sign floating in the air. Inside there's a...weird creature. Purple, one-eyed, in overalls, very similar to a minion but it's a little off. It's strange]

It sounds like the Grunts, from the Detestable Me movie. They're the...grunts to the main character Min.

Something like these?

[fuckingguy]

[ WITH GENUINE DELIGHT: ]

Oh, is there a movie?

[pairtner]

How are you aware of these if you haven't watched the movies?

[nandor please dont say memes please dont say memes please dont say memes she says to herself]

[fuckingguy]

Colin Robinson has pulled their image up on his cellular telephone.

[ I feel like this is something he just interrupted while it was targeted towards someone else, because unfortunately there's just no energy draining involved in introducing Nandor to minions! ]

Also, they are everywhere on those humans' billboards and breath mints and shit. Almost inescapable, really.
