Week 8

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! ]

[Brett's on a bit of an odd tear today!

After that announcement, he can be found sitting in the library. He's not reading anything; rather, he's carefully tearing large sheafs of paper out of the journal he's been keeping this whole time. He still doesn't react quite in his normal manner if someone joins him - he looks a tad bit wary of everyone, truth be told - but he does ask:]


If you could leave something behind for the next people who come here, what would it be?

[First, he goes to the arboretum, where he walks in an odd measured pattern between several trees before crouching down and digging in the dirt. He buries one of the boxes here, stamping the dirt down when it's finished.

He goes to the church next, pries up a floorboard, and sticks the other box in there. Then he spends a little while jumbling up all the holy symbols on the wall. Look, the puzzles have a point, probably!

Finally, he wanders over to the vending machine. He doesn't have any coins right at the moment, but he does have something else he picked up. Brett spends a minute or two checking the machine over: peering into the coin slot, crouching down to try and look up into the dispenser. He even pokes his arm inside a little, though he draws it out before he risks getting stuck.

There don't seem to be a lot of great options. In the end, he wanders off to the art room and returns with a roll of tape. He picks a spot on the machine's hull and tapes a strip of photo-booth pictures there - pictures of Valerie and Alice having fun together.

Mission accomplished, he pats the machine lightly.]


There you go. It wasn't doing any good where it was...though I guess I'm just assuming you can see it...

[Signs point to probably??? She seems to have some kind of sensory something, anyway???]

Well. Thanks for being here.

[He shrugs a tad - who cares about cheating now? But:]

I was thinking more along the lines of things we actually have.

[Brett's not even entirely sure if he's imagining it or not - but he smiles. pats the machine again, and walks away. It's nice to leave things in a good place.]
