Week 7

[bathymetric]

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

Less than ten of you left, now. The halls of your little slice of Rapture sure must feel empty now, hm? Even compared to their general size, you're going to naturally find yourself more and more alone more and more often. That's just statistics.

You may find yourself flagging. You may find it difficult to move on. Your captor has offered you so little respite, so little in the way of answers. The ocean is dark and foreboding. But remember this: in the darkest times, the brightest lights can shine.

As you wake once again on Sunday, there's another wing of New Rapture open to you, smaller than the ones before it. More to see, more to find, as your ally the vending machine might say.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to the seventh 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! ]

[hm, okay! Maybe he can find them if he keeps poking around... is there a backstage, perhaps?]

[bathymetric]

[ There is! No parts, but there is a control panel back here! ]

[howveryglib]

[Alright! He'll go ahead and look over the control panel and see what he can do to mess around with it.]

[bathymetric]

[ If you want to get any of the songs started up, there's a few options on here! And the animatronics still work, though their automatic cycle has been turned off.

... The button for Song 3 - Moggle Mog has been uh. Repeatedly stabbed and forcibly pried out with a blade. ]

[howveryglib]

[whoever did this has no taste, clearly. not that gaius knows, but hm. okay. he'll put on idk 2 and keep searching the backstage. anything other than controls or should he move to another square?]

[bathymetric]

[ If I could have given you Moggle Mog I would, but.

That seems to be it for this square, yep! ]

[howveryglib]

[Okay! Time to check out Battle Square a little more closely, then! Why not. He's gotta unlock Omnislash somehow(???).]

[bathymetric]

[ All these games look... pretty unused? Like there was at least a little recentish wear on the arcade games, but these are even cleaner. All functional, but.

The only thing to really find in here is an audio log, tucked in one of the air hockey goals. ]

[howveryglib]

[hm! Well, he'll pocket that and note the state of things. He'll go ahead and check the Chocobo Square to see if there's anything worth looking at there, then!]

[bathymetric]

[ So! There's a little track that the chocobos "run" around, and while the chocobos are different colors, they are also labelled in like. Sharpie? Paint? By someone. ]

[howveryglib]

[Ah! Do they have names, then?]

[bathymetric]

[ Yup!

Marcello, Peridot, Loki, Lusamine, Gideon, Alexis, Reeve, Wesker. ]

[howveryglib]

[...okay! He'll, uh, write those down, then. Assuming that's all to find in the Chocobo Square, he'll go back to his room and play that audio tape!]

[bathymetric]

[ The first thing you hear is the Gold Saucer theme in the background, as well as the animatronic moogle band playing Good King Moggle Mog in the distance. Notably, however, there isn't the sound of a crowd you might expect in a place like this.

Alice May, nee Female Founder 2, speaks up. ]

Valerie Oberlin, you take me to the nicest places.

[ Over the sound of air hockey fuckin Going, Female Founder 1/Val replies: ]

Capitalism cats gotta support capitalism cats. And what, and not play the one game you don't totally kick my ass at? Please.

[ Alice: ]

As opposed to the big fun game we're all now playing.

[ Valerie: ]

Again: I told you so, vis a vis Frank Fontaine. Besides, it's fine. What's someone going to do to me while you're around? All our freaky coworkers are being surprisingly civil so far.

[ Alice: ]

Except for the ones who are never civil.

[ Valerie: ]

Alice May! I can't believe you'd talk about our head of physical security like that.

[ Alice: ]

Well I was thinking about Rodyle, but you're not wrong. She's a little...

[ Valerie: ]

Freaky? Unhinged? Literal enslaver of monsters?

[ Alice: ]

All of the above. If it's any consolation, I'm pretty sure everyone hates her guts. She's not exactly easy to get along with.

[ Valerie: ]

Yeah. Loki kicked her out of the armory the other day and she swore revenge. "Aah, if I had my beautiful putties...!"

[ Alice snorts, and: ]

I scored a point on you ten seconds ago, by the way, if you want to just...

[ Valerie: ]

IIIIIII am aware and I was choosing to ignore it. Back to the game.
