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! ]

Wh - Gerda's been dead for years.

[fuckingguy]

Then why is she on this tape singing to him?! I would not make shit up about this, Brett, it is too elaborate and boring a lie!

[inaclearing]

I don't know!

[He's freaking out a little!]

What is she saying?

[fuckingguy]

Can you hit stop on it? All of this is going very fast and now it is him again!

She was like, come into the water, Peter, [ and unfortunately he's singing in a falsetto! and this is pre-cult Nandor so he hasn't even gotten into the swing of doing Barenaked Ladies sing-along jam sessions ] Peter, I see you.

[inaclearing]

[Brett had thought to ask what she sounded like, but after hearing Nandor make that noise, he just sort of winces and hits pause on the tape.]

He was...talking about that picture of them on the beach. [He swallows, unnerved.] The one he...when he disappeared, he left half that photo behind. Took Gerda with him.

[fuckingguy]

Brett, I mean no offense, but his being a werewolf is maybe the least of your worries.

[inaclearing]

What? [....] No, no, we're way past that.

[He'd honestly forgotten that was what started this!]

Seriously, you heard Gerda's voice on this? She was my great-aunt - I think I met her a couple of times when I was little...I don't remember what she sounded like.

[fuckingguy]

[ He was agreeing, kind of! But for those same reasons, he's going to abandon the werewolf thing and focus on (disgusted sigh) the more personal stuff Brett just brought up... ]

Yes. Although she did not sound like a great-aunt on the tape. She sounded very young... as I suppose she would have been, at the time.

[inaclearing]

........so she's not a ghost?

[fuckingguy]

I mean, unless he was summoning her spirit through a song only you couldn't hear...

[ And from there he just trails off, because this requires serious thought! ]

[inaclearing]

Howl's really not someone who ever struck me as a...musical sort of guy. Or a seance one.

[so........hm]

[fuckingguy]

In that case, this is all very strange.

[ as if the other options were just, you know, normal and par for the course ]

[inaclearing]

It is.

[.....]

Well, thanks for helping me look into it a little more, I guess. It's...sort of been wigging me out.

[And it is definitely doing so way more now, but like? At least he has a little more info, maybe?]
