WEEK 5

[bathymetric]

That's three murders now - and this last trial got more than slightly out of hand. It looks like you might be in for another tough week... or at least, maybe that's just the refusal of this place to change too much. You lose Saturday again, but maybe six-day weeks are starting to feel normal by now. Who knows? The cycle of day and night continues apace, changing so little.

Speaking of change, though, there's a new area to look through, the biggest and most complex yet. And the end of one wing of the facility, from the looks of it - though you can probably guess where more areas might start to open up.

And speaking of opening up (segues!), this week if you're out particularly late, you might sometimes see Angel out and about! So hey, maybe change is on the horizon.

Just gotta hope it's a change for the better, don't you?



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to Week 5! Remember to turn in AC here, threads for regain coins here, and if you feel so inclined you can visit Angel's office hours over here! Or, if you want Angel to come to you, that's now an option! Simply put a prompt after lights-out into your toplevel and indicate you want Angel in the subject line, same as investigations! ]

Investigation!!

[nothingcanstop]

[ Saturday continues to not exist. Lovely, fun, wonderful. Just a day lost to try and process all that which was Friday.

It really is becoming routine, isn't it?

So, part of that routine is checking the new part of the facility, because...of course there's one. From the get-go, she seems...more enthused about it? ]

No creepy windows! Nice. Nice, an improvement. Digging it. [ And then she walks into the aquarium. ]

...

Nnnnerp!

[ DELLA DUCK OUT no seriously she turns tail and books it. Not for her today, no thank you!!

Now, the museum is much more her speed. The fossils room draws her right in. ]

Ohh, how lovely, more stolen goods the Prof wants to show off. ...Hold up, is that a full-on no fakes Triceratops???

[ So that's got her attention for awhile! And, eventually, so does the cartography room, for investigation. This whole area's pretty big, so...she's gonna break it down. Let's take a closer look at those maps! ]

bones

[emberserker]

Apparently so. Haven't you noticed something?

[nothingcanstop]

Besides the huge-ass fossils? A little stuck on that for the moment.

[emberserker]

Yes, but we've seen him show off expensive things before. Think. What's different about this wing that isn't like the others?

[nothingcanstop]

There...aren't any windows?

Investigation!!

[bathymetric]

[ Okay, so! There are a lot of maps here - some of which, notably, are not of a standard human Earth! There's even one of your Earth, Della. ]

Re: Investigation!!

[nothingcanstop]

[ OH, WHAT?? Actual maps she's familiar with?! Tokyolk and all?! ]

[bathymetric]

[ Yup! Might as well be something straight out of a museum or library back home! ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ Hot damn!

...You know, that makes her think, are there any... Aela mentioned Skyrim, any maps of that? Or is it all Earth-alikes? ]

Fossils

[ladygeryon]

Looks like a deformed Bastodion, but I guess you'd know better what they're supposed to look like...

[nothingcanstop]

Guessing that's another Pokemon?

[ Dang, this just happens a lot, doesn't it? ]

[ladygeryon]

Yeah. Their faceplates are even larger than this, plus they have way more spikes and horns. They're pretty tough too, being part Steel-type and all.

[nothingcanstop]

From how you're speaking in present tense, I'm guessing they still just...kind of walk around out there, too, huh?

aquarium, sort of

[fivestagegod]

[Birkin is actually in the new wing of the building for once, checking out the giant fucking sharks and glaring at them like they owe him money, when he hears the sudden sound of...Della, noping out, apparently. That sounds like as good a reason to not be in here as any, so...]

You all right there, Della?

[nothingcanstop]

[ Della, throwing her hands into the air in incredulous rage: ] NERP!

[ This is probably fine? ]

[fivestagegod]

...Actually, I'm inclined to agree with you at this point.

fossils

[archboxer]

[You know your reaction to the aquarium? That's pretty much Rhea's reaction to the dinosaurs. Well, less running and more just...]

This is disgusting.

[I mean, she's a dragon. She's heading back out.]

[nothingcanstop]

[ .............oh right the dragon thing, UH. Della winces, clears her throat and takes off at a fast pace after Rhea. ]

Rhea! Hey, uh... Rhea, hold on a second...

[archboxer]

[Luckily, she stops. Also luckily, she wasn't going to do anything but just leave this section of the museum and maybe yell at the Professor some more.]

Yes? [She's upset but at least... it's not the duck who she's mad at?]

fossils

[philoxenia]

I can't believe it...

[ There are so many?? ]

I used to have such a dinosaur phase when I was really little.

[nothingcanstop]

[ Aw, hi sweetie. ]

They're pretty neat, aren't they? Which ones were your favorites?

[philoxenia]

Compies-- or, compsognathus. They're just so small and fast. Though, parasaurs are very cute, and herbivores to boot... so I'd rather meet one of those than a compy.

aquarium

[thieviusraccoonus]

Whoa!

[Guess who's around here, and currently jumping out of the way of Della booking it in the other direction.]

Is there a fire or something?

[nothingcanstop]

Worse. An aquarium.

[ Okay??? ]

[thieviusraccoonus]

Uh...

[Well, that's something??]

Pretty hard for an aquarium to catch fire. Or is there something else wrong with it?
