Week 6

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

[...

You know, Forrest is just going to make the executive decision that he's too dumb for this (that and Redd and I both want to try to solve this) so he's going to go grab Rossiu? Rossiu was recently, like, right there making sure he hadn't drowned, be right back.]

[Don't worry, he's still around so he'll gladly come help Forrest out!!]

Let's see here...

[Oh, this looks fun!! You can practically see him light up as he begins to read through it.]

I thought you would enjoy this... You seem much more suited to it than I am, at least.

I've always found puzzles like this interesting, though I've never seen one quite like this. I think the first thing to determine would be how to create one that is caffeinated and one that isn't...

[He's already writing down some ideas, but sadly, I know nothing about tea. The first three ladies seem like they can fit together with the last two sharing the caffeinated tea??]

[Okay, so I have no idea if this is going to make the world's nastiest tea or not, but here's what we've got after some offscreen deliberation.

We've got rooibos + lavender + hibiscus + mint for the first three ladies, and oolong + ginger root + cinnamon for the last two.

The logic here is that rooibos tends to be soothing, as does lavender and mint; lavender + hibiscus should add a floral note to the whole thing, and rooibos + hibiscus + mint sounds like a fairly adventurous combination to me.

Meanwhile, oolong for the caffeine, ginger root + cinnamon for the last lady's throat problems.

How wrong are we, and in the event that we're not, are we supposed to make the blends?]

[Don't worry, we can figure that much out!! Once we've solved this puzzle, it's time to head over to the floorboards! First things first, do these look any different or out of place from the others? Are we going to need to get something to pry them up?]

[While he does not precisely love the idea of reaching into dark spaces under floorboards, he will absolutely retrieve that box. And since you are nicer than me and don't require a key to open a locked box (that may or may not have another key inside of it), he will go ahead and open it. What will he find in there?]

[Friend!! ...What the fuck is this.

Anyway, he will take friend and the blue key, and...well, he's going to spend a little bit of time continuing to poke around with Rossiu, most likely, but is there anything else of note in here or have we found everything?]
