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! ]

[capreelcious]

Well, yeah. We found you collapsed.

[ He brings the water over. ]

[sastruga]

Oh. So I broke a rule then... right?

[girl your priorities]

...Does that mean I'm a rebel now?

[it doesn't even count like this!]

[specialyellthing]

[That... makes Zinda laugh, though it's a half hearted one.]

Yeah. Might have to start callin' you Miss Blackhawk, you lil rebel.

[specialyellthing]

Scared the hell outta us! [She doesn't let go, not yet.]

[sastruga]

...I'm okay... I think.

[she is NOT but like you know]

Sorry...

[capreelcious]

And I'm the Queen of Hearts. Less sorry, more sips.

[ He puts the cup up to her cheek. Floyd, please. ]

[specialyellthing]

[well now she's really laughing, probably giving mafuyu lil shakes from it.]

[sastruga]

[...]

...That's way too pushy.

[Looks like she's less polite after, y'know, almost dying. But she'll take the cup and have some water.]

[capreelcious]

[ That finally pulls a smile from Floyd. He just snickers. ]

Still got you to drink it, so that's my win~.

[sastruga]

That's a pretty small win.

[...]

You said you just... found me here?

[capreelcious]

Yeah. The jukebox was blaring one of your songs and we found you collapsed out on the stage.

[sastruga]

Mm. Listening to it and singing along... makes me feel more at ease.

[So much for that!]

I wasn't feeling well.

[capreelcious]

[ Well that phrasing is kinda suspicious... ]

You weren't feeling well? When did that start?

[sastruga]

...Earlier, I guess.

I think somewhere around when I had breakfast in the restaurant.

[capreelcious]

[ ...Yep, it clicks into place. ]

Mm. Hey, Moon Jelly... we didn't just find you collapsed. Your lips were blue, like you didn't have any oxygen. You might need to keep drinkin' that water.

[ ...Given his knowledge of various plants and potion ingredients paired with his family's uh, "business," he's come to a conclusion. ]

I'm pretty sure someone tried poisoning you and framing it to look like you did it yourself.

[sastruga]

...You think it's like... what happened before?

[capreelcious]

Oh, for sure- can't be much of a coincidence in this place. Unless you like, suddenly discovered a weird slow-acting allergy, but I doubt that.

[sastruga]

That seems pretty impossible. Medically speaking.

[trust her she's going to be a doctor someday]

I guess... I was pretty lucky.

[capreelcious]

Sure are! After all, I'm here~!

[ Floyd, please. ]

Yeahhh... Now that I think about it, that playlist seemed too... maybe not convenient, but it was weird.

[sastruga]

The playlist...? Was something up with it?

[capreelcious]

Yeah, it was just that Composing the Future song four times. You can just loop songs normally, so that was weird.

[specialyellthing]

... You two might wanna start preparin' your own meals until we figure this out. Or make sure it's someone you really trust who makes it.

Did you leave your plate alone at all, Sparkles?

[sastruga]

Maybe? I didn't really think about it much.

I usually just make breakfast in the suite.

[specialyellthing]

Let's start doin that again. I'll help.
