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! ]

My mom invented verse jumping. She trained me to be the best at it.

[Joy's gaze goes unfocused for a moment before snapping back to reality.]

So I did. I became better than even her, better than anyone could ever hope to be.

[capreelcious]

Not bad. Can't say I've ever done any verse jumping, but there's this one person back home that managed to? Or somethin' close to it, I guess.

[ He shrugs a little bit. ]

They're kinda magicless and somehow managed to dimension hop to my world! Dunno how to get back to theirs.

[allatonce]

Oh. Isekai. [A beat.] Sorry, uh. When I go different places, I still exist here, but isekai is when someone physically leaves their universe to be somewhere else.

[Is Everything Everywhere All At Once an isekai? Sound off in the comments below—]

[capreelcious]

Ohhhh, I see! Yeah, so they definitely got isekai'd.

[ Nodnod. ]

So it's more like... mentally jumping from world to world? Your thingy?

[allatonce]

Pretty much. It's much easier to sort of... piggyback on a different version of you, rather than transport your whole self. You run into all sorts of problems that way, because seeing yourself in an alternate universe can cause all sorts of issues.

[She shrugs. There's all kinds of issues with time travel and she only touched on the surface of them in her little AMA.]

[capreelcious]

Huh... never thought about it that way before. Neat!

[ He might have to ask Azul about it later. He may not get all the time shenanigans, but it still sounds pretty cool! ]

Time stuff sounds complicated- I'll just leave all the math behind it to the professionals. It would be cool to go back in time to some places though probably~.

[allatonce]

Going back in time is... hard. It changes things to go back—there's this whole thing called the Butterfly Effect. If a butterfly's wings flap in the past, they can kill all the dinosaurs.

[She shrugs. It's why she thought the redo motive was stupid, honestly.]

[capreelcious]

Whoa, seriously? ...Butterflies are hardcore.

[ That's absolutely all he gets from this. ]

[allatonce]

[No, that's not—ok. Nevermind. She's not gonna try and shove it in his head.]

... Yeah. Something like that. Anyway, when you learn how to play?

[capreelcious]

Oh, middle school! Me, Jade and Azul had our own little band. It was pretty fun~.
