Week 6

[bathymetric]

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

Another week at the bottom of the sea. You may start to mark the passage of time by the increasing number of people you seem to be bleeding each week - look how few of you there are now. Nearly half your number gone, and for what? The shadowy machinations of some madman? You've met some others, but they seem unable or unwilling to solve this problem for you. Time marches onwards.

In the abyss, New Rapture starts to wake. It's small things, for now - the lights of a building here and there, the flicker of a neon sign for some small business. The restoration of this city continues.

Speaking of this city, there's a new branch of your little slice of it to explore. It's certainly the most picturesque of the branches you've seen.

There's more to see and do, citizens of New Rapture. And hey, there's coins to get, too.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[are they called sea horses or sea (choco)bos like they are in eorzea...

but hm! which tanks are empty? are they labeled?]

[bathymetric]

[ horses.... sorry buddy you gotta reckon with what a horse is

Anyway, these tanks are marked as being for Feebas, whatever that is! ]

[howveryglib]

[nah it's cool they have horses in the far east.

...yeah what is a Feebas. Aside from a fish, maybe? Are there any other mysteriously empty tanks...?]

[bathymetric]

[ Looks like a fish, from the tank? As does Wishiwashi, whatever that was. ]

[howveryglib]

[...is the wishiwashi tank very big or very small.

also why's its name a weird pun huh??]

[bathymetric]

[ It's fairly small! Looks like they had more Feebas around than Wishiwashi. As for the latter question that's a q u gotta take up with god my man!! Or at least Arceus. ]

[howveryglib]

[hmm, alright! So not a tank for an entire school... not that Gaius would know. Anyway, let's keep looking! Is there anything else standing out? More empty tanks? More weird fish? How's Gary doing.]

[bathymetric]

[ Gary is exquisite. Gary is a perfect creature, a spot of light in this darkness. You look at him and are filled with peace.

There's a plastic bag of some kind tucked into the back of the guppy tank? ]

[howveryglib]

[Thank you for being here for us, Gary. What a nice critter.

And hmm! Let him see if he can reach in and get that plastic bag. There's no puzzle here so he assumes it'll be easy enough to go and get it.]

[bathymetric]

[ He is the ying to the fontaine reveal's yang.

Yep! It's a little tricky to get your hand in there, but the guppies tickle as you get the bag out! Inside it is the familiar shape of an audio log. ]

[howveryglib]

[Well, they’re guppies. What are they gonna do, breed out of control at him?

Anyway, time to do one last comb through the aquarium to see if anything stands out before he goes to listen to that audio log!]

[bathymetric]

[ The main thing, and this is more of an ooc note maybe, is that none of these fish are remotely close to sentient. Even the weird ones from other worlds, it's pure dumbass animal in here. ]

[howveryglib]

[ah so the pokemon were freed because they were too close to people. I see.

Anyway, he’ll look over into the next area and be like “holy shit the vibes though” so he’ll go back to his room and put on the audio log while he’s changing his clothes.]

[bathymetric]

[ It's female founder #2! ]

Hey, Val. Sorry to make you get your paws wet, but if you're listening to this, something went really wrong last night. I hope you can forgive me if I'm the one who did the murder, the last thing I want to do is leave you alone with all these assholes. Stick with the rest of our side of the... well, Olaf called it a schism, so I guess that's the word for whatever happened to all of us this week.

The keys are still hidden, no need to worry about that. If we can get that thing finished with those schematics... we can stop this. I think. Sorry, I know it was your idea, and I believe in you, just... it sounds weird, you know that, right?

I love you, you dumb cat. I always will. Love, your Alice.

[howveryglib]

[aw hell i didn't think about examining the tapes. is there anything neat about the tape.]

[bathymetric]

[ There's a little heart and "Break in Case of Emergency" written on the side! ]
