Week 8

[bathymetric]

Good morning, New Rapture. The long night is ending.

Your number is as low as it's going to go. You may not know it for sure yet, but there's something in the cold New Rapture recycled air that suggests maybe things are about to change. An act of defiance against the Mayor actually panned out, and now... the mysteries of the underwater city are beginning to finally reveal themselves to you. How much has been just smoke and mirrors, like the execution room? How much has been real? And how much longer can your captor continue to avoid granting you answers?

No new wing of the city, this week. There are still offices to explore in city hall, if you'd like, but in general you get the feeling that it's going to take a change to make the next new information available. And make no mistake: change is coming, my friends. Stay strong. Stay together. Get any last coins in before the end.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to the final week of Unknown Seas Round 3! Please make sure to mark any investigation toplevels accordingly, reply to the endgame planning post, and you can reach either the Mayor or Eleanor for conversations! ]

[Interesting! Nothing behind the books either, I assume? How about in them? Any interesting marked pages or anything of the sort?]

[bathymetric]

[ There's a heavily defaced book about a historical couple named William and Elizabeth Turner, as well as a few books on nautical myths, with bookmarked pages about Davy Jones. There are also some notes in those, mostly about trying to figure out where his heart currently is? Weird. ]

[onemillion]

[Hmm, weird! That probably has nothing to do with us, right...... (unsure)

Anything else of importance in here or is it time to move on to the last room?]

[bathymetric]

[ There is a book tucked behind the bookshelf - a biography of Lord Cutler Beckett, who.... apparently just straight up is this Founder. Help Him.

But other than that, that's it for this room! ]

[onemillion]

[Lmao oh no.... f in chat.

Alright, on to the last one, #25!]

[bathymetric]

[ This one is... lavish is the best word for it? Lots of silks, lots of mirrors, thick carpeting, fine art... and a lot of flowers, which have by now mcfucking died.

There's a desk, a closet, and a small sewing station in the corner. And of course, in back, this founder's portrait. ]

[onemillion]

[f in chat for the flowers as well...

The sewing station looks interesting! What do we have here?]

[bathymetric]

[ Looks like this lady got really into fashion design! There's a dress here, that makes liberal use of a sort of sun pattern, with a label that says Gothel Designs. ]

[onemillion]

[Ah, interesting! Anything else noteworthy about her work here or the designs themselves?]

[bathymetric]

[ There are very rough designs for a couple of wedding dresses, though it's unclear who they might have been for. ]

[onemillion]

[Oh... it really does seem like the people here were having a good time... Any notes or anything on the designs or should we move on to the closet?]

[bathymetric]

[ No notes, they're very much "okay here's what I'm thinking" rough sketches.

The closet is, first off, full of those heavy-duty anti-aging products from the spa. Like. So many of them. ]

[onemillion]

[Ah. Well. Hopefully that ADAM stuff wasn't causing any problems, um. That seems a little ill-advised but sure!! Anything else in here besides a bunch of these anti-aging products?]

[bathymetric]

[ Mostly a bunch of dresses and gowns, though there is a receipt attached to one of the cases of anti-aging product, it looks like she was at least getting them at a decent discount? But still, woof, someone was not a fan of wrinkles. ]

[onemillion]

[Whoof indeed... Alright, onto the desk then! What's up over here?]

[bathymetric]

[ First off, for someone who was married... damn, there's no pictures of her husband here. Just pictures of herself. ]

[onemillion]

[Oh... Yeah that's. Hmm. Well, it's not exactly any of his business but he's gonna look through them anyway! Is it all pictures of herself or are there other people in them (aside from her husband)? Anything interesting in the drawers?]

[bathymetric]

[ If there are other people in the pictures, they've mostly been cropped out, but there are a few familiar (or soon to be familiar, should the keys all get used) faces! No one new, but this lady sure is a camera hog.

Before the drawers, on the desk is probably the worst thing, oocly, you're going to find today, which is half-filled adoption papers. ]

[onemillion]

[Oh that is cursed, how could you do this to us?? Who was this woman adopting, I need to know this. There's gotta be some identifying information on here, right?]

[bathymetric]

[ They appear to be for some orphan from New Rapture? Gothel and Manfred von Karma are both listed as parents, but from the fact that the kid's name is spelled two different ways throughout the paperwork, they probably weren't exactly adopting for love of the game. ]

[onemillion]

[Oh oof, this whole thing is such a mess. That poor kid. Well, here's hoping they managed to escape whatever happened here...

Anything else to note in here?]

[bathymetric]

[ There's a small cabinet in the bottom of the desk for gifts from fans, but uh... not nearly as many in here as Loki had, it seems.

That's all, though! Enjoy your new rooms! ]
