Week 5

[bathymetric]

Good morning, New Rapture. A new day is dawning.

Another week, another motive, another trial. Even without a literal time loop, it's easy to start to feel stuck in something of a rut. Though vandalism parties and the like can help shake the feeling somewhat, it's only natural to start going a little... stir-crazy, don't you think?

Fortunately for you, another week brings another new section of New Rapture to investigate. This one is the biggest yet! And look at that fun theme park. And a bar!

Seven of you are dead, but eighteen of you remain. What you do to try to escape is up to you, but at least following :)'s advice gets you coins for stuff, you know?



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to the fifth 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! ]

[ Interestingly, it clicks into one of the places, as if magnetically. ]

[capreelcious]

Aha~! Nice!

[ Oh, WORD. He's gonna put the rest of the cars on the racing line too if he can!!! ]

[bathymetric]

[ Sure! They click into place, in places 1-8!!

... Nothing happens. Might need some guidance here. ]

[capreelcious]

[ Huh... He's gonna take a look at the bumper cars. Do they have certain numbers? Or is there anything around that might resemble a key of sorts? ]

[bathymetric]

[ The cars are different colors! Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet, and Black.

Looks like there's a note on the control panel. ]

[capreelcious]

[ Oh, rainbow times! Let's take a look at that note then! ]

PUZZLE 4: THE FAST AND THE ????

[bathymetric]

[ The note on the console reads as follows: ]

Welcome to the Havana Grand Prix! The racers are lined up at the starting line - Jaqueline Crimson on Red, Gregory Tangerine on Orange, Meg Goldenrod on Yellow, Mike Emerald on Green, Oliver Ocean on Blue, Isabel Indigo on Indigo, and Viggo Royal on Violet, as well as Racer X on Black. They ran ten laps each, and we know they finished as follows:

1. Oliver, Viggo, and Meg took the stand in the top 3.
2. Jaqueline finished before Mike who finished before Isabel who finished before Racer X.
3. Gergory and Oliver finished one after the other.
4. Meg did not win.

If they are placed in reverse order to this for the next race, what are their positions?

[ Submit your answer as follows:

color > color > color

In descending order from first to eighth position! ]

[capreelcious]

[ Aw man, now he has to think! ]

Man... Jade would get this easy. I almost don't wanna do it. Uhhhhhh...

[ He's definitely thinking though!

Question: Does "take the stand" mean they /won/ top three? Or they were just placed there at the beginning of the race? I may be overthinking this but I thought I'd ask! ]

[bathymetric]

[ Top three, yes! ]

[capreelcious]

[ The little lightbulb goes off in Floyd's head as he sets the cars back up!

How about this:

Black > Indigo > Green > Red > Orange > Blue > Yellow > Violet ]

[bathymetric]

[ Ding ding ding!

The Black car's glove compartment(?) opens, revealing a small metal box with no lock. ]

[capreelcious]

Yaaaay~! What do I wiiin?

[ He'll absolutely open up the metal box! ]

[bathymetric]

[ Congratulations, Floyd! You win a green key and uh.

Uhhhh.

A handful of loose gold teeth. ]

[capreelcious]

[ Oh, sick, a key! He will pocket that!!! ...He stares for a second at the teeth.

And then he smiles! ]

Ahah~ nice! Maybe if I stick 'em under my pillow the tooth fairy will come!

[ FLOYD!

Anyways he's taking those too. ]
