- FLOYD

[ That's as good as a note as you're getting as Floyd runs around like a madman today, seemingly determined to have a good time before their abrupt end to this little... experiment? comes to an end, either with them at the top, or being potentially trapped in this watery grave at the whims of the Mayor. And wouldn't it be kind of ironic for the eel of all people to drown here? Wild. But enough about that!

Floyd is hauling snacks to the bowling alley, even though nachos are supplied, but why not! He makes some really good food when properly motivated, it seems. There's shrimp scampi, crab cakes, some nice looking desserts here and there, and also nachos because they looked pretty good. There's also arts and crafts here if you want to chill for a bit instead of bowl!

Honestly, the party was still a pretty good cover too, all things considered. As fun as he wanted this to be, they definitely had things to talk about. When enough people show up, Floyd smiles. ]

Yay, you made it~! Now let's bowl and talk about how we're gonna kick Water Fountain lady's butt! At this point it doesn't really seem like we need to hide like normal meetings. She's probably preparing for whatever happens tomorrow, so you know.

[ He shrugs. ]

Anyways- we've all been too sad and serious lately. It's party time~!

[...alright well this is as good a meeting as any. admittedly on some level he does feel a little... off but things ARE coming to a head. and he's got a lot of agitated energy from it. so he'll just kind of... get some nachos and sit at a table to do meeting stuff first...]

I believe I have discussed it to a certain extent with a few of you, but have we explored every area we presently are able to access?

[...after that uhhh fuck it. he's going to. try? bowling? it's not really a difficult concept, so he'll go ahead and wait to play with everyone...]

[inaclearing]

[Well, Gaius said he wanted to know this shit, so...]

I checked the offices my key opened. It, uh... [He shrugs.] I mean, I found Val's office, but I don't know if there was really anything useful. Took some of the pictures...

[People can see them, he guesses. Not the one he already gave away, but the others!]

[howveryglib]

...It is possible that the Mayor is in one of these, though I suppose we will need to cross reference them.

[inaclearing]

I only brought the ones with people I didn't recognize.

[For basically that reason, yeah. Brett hesitates a little before going on.]

....uh, also....no reason really, but can anyone here pick locks...?

[specialyellthing]

Sounds like a question that has a reason.

[inaclearing]

[.........]

I wasn't gonna say anything, but now things are... [Less? Murder-y? At least less in-group murder-y?] ...weird. Uh, I found the security guy's office and he's got...so many guns.

[specialyellthing]

Hawkah! Let's pick some locks, then.

[howveryglib]

...

Those could be helpful to have...

[howveryglib]

I am not familiar, unfortunately. I trust you found something interesting not connected to the color-coded keys?

[inaclearing]

[I mean yeah kinda]

[capreelcious]

Yeah.

[ He just says it like it's normal. It's fine probably. ]

[inaclearing]

[WELL]

meeting stuff

[capreelcious]

Oh yeah- I found a buncha stuff about some of the Founder guys trying to make like. Robot dragons and kaijus. It's pretty cool but it all got denied.

[ Frank Fontaine, you coward. Floyd pulls out the blueprints and notes he found about them and puts them on the table. ]

Also I think the original Water Fountain guy tried to make Fontaineworld instead of just Fontaineland- they wanted to get bigger with the operation somehow.

[howveryglib]

...

I... suppose it is good... for us... that it was denied.

[HE'S STRUGGLING BECAUSE ROBOT DRAGONS SOUND SO COOL]

1/2

[capreelcious]

...

[ He looks at Gaius, deadpan expression. ]

2/2

[capreelcious]

[ And it turns into a smirk. ]

...You want robot dragons just as much as I do, huh.

[ YOU LIKE KRABBY PATTIES, DON'T YOU SQUIDWARD- ]

[howveryglib]

...

[you know what. he'll just. clench his fist.]

I will not deny it. It sounds extremely impressive

[capreelcious]

Right? It's totally sick!

[ Floyd will make a theme park with robot dragons one day. It's fine. ]

[howveryglib]

If I ever manage to find my top engineer again I will float the idea to him. Surely, he will be able to manage it, even though the only color option will be some shade of red.

meeting stuff

[howveryglib]

For my part, I found the rooms of the person in charge of the Gold Saucer, the person in charge the teahouse and, apparently, the menu in the restaurant, and the woman in the theatrical posters. The first of them seems to have been a surprisingly decent individual, and the man behind the restaurant seems to have invested in interdimensional food imports.

...

The last one does not seem to have been particularly good at acting, which is unfortunate given that she was above criticism.

[honeyedtea]

... You know, I can't help but wonder. For all we've heard thus far of these so-called Founders, not one of their skillsets seems to have included the sort of things one would expect from a city's leader.

[howveryglib]

Well, this Reeve person did seem to have plans for homeless shelters. Which were apparently illegal, for whatever reason. That... is the closest I can imagine, though...

[honeyedtea]

The more I hear about this city, the more it really does seem like all this might just have been a more efficient way of populating the place compared to their previous efforts.

[ Not that Mielle thinks there's anything wrong with homeless shelters being illegal...... because she's a shitty rich person.......... ]

If anything, I'm shocked the place has lasted as long as it has for just our group.

[howveryglib]

I do get the impression from Eleanor things have been cleaned up in areas of the city as we have been here...

[honeyedtea]

[ ... the face of a girl having a Realization. ]

I'm... not quite sure how I feel about the idea of someone performing maintenance on this underwater city as we occupy it.
