unknownseas | WEEK 1

Happy New Year! ... You're still here. Looks like The Captain wasn't lying when he said the murdering is now up to you. That, or you can all live here on your own. Regardless, it's time to settle in. The days start passing much less eventfully after that first one, and, well... on it goes, huh?

There might not be a whole cruise ship to explore just yet, but there are a variety of amenities available to all of you! Who ever heard of a boring cruise ship, anyway? As the week goes on, you might even start to see some of those strange coins appear for you!

Better buckle down and get to know your fellow passengers, though, if you want to stand a chance of weathering this storm.

MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
FRIDAY | SATURDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to peace week! Feel free to mingle (and investigate, if you like) to your hearts' content! Please ensure all investigation toplevels are marked accordingly, and otherwise enjoy! If you wish to talk to The Captain or Davy Jones, look here for the former and here for the latter! ]

[ Cleric is a little funny, considering her next question: ]

Okay. Sooo. Do you...know what drugs are?

[Oh, uh.]

Medicinal, or the sort that make humans stare at the walls for hours...?

Theee second.

[ Well, that's easy! ]

[...Uh.]

...Well, clearly yes, then?

So. Being a stoner as our illustrious Captain Jackass put it means you spend a lot of time like that, doped out smoking weed.

...He's not incorrect, really, but there're nicer ways to put it.

[...Huh.]

I see... I know that sort of thing can induce a dreamlike state in humans. Sometimes far less pleasant than others. I've seen some strange things.

[ Chloe snorts; at this point, she rolls over so she's not just staring at the ceiling. ]

Yeah... Depends on what you take and how. Or, who you're buying from. Sometimes bogus dealers cut it with shit that gives you a hella bad trip. But, you know. It's not a bad way to medicate, chill yourself out.

[Mm.]

Usually we can induce such states in humans, whether calming or otherwise. I can see where it would be a nice thing to be able to do in a situation like this.

[ Or most situations... But Chloe doesn't clarify that. Instead: ]

Whoa... I guess that'd make sense, if you're from the...uh, your friend called it the world of nightmares? [ They are friends, right? ] Good to know it's not all doom and gloomy.

Oh, you've spoken to Plumeria...

[...Plumeria is kind of a lot.]

There's a beauty in Dökkálfheimr that most mortals don't understand or appreciate. I imagine that you would like Ljósálfheimr, however - my brother's domain. Being there tends to make the mortals happy; even for his attendants, most of their time is given to peace and sleep. What I recall of it was rather beautiful.

Sure have!

[ Plumeria's an Experience! ]

Yeah...? Okay, I can say that one even less, but...if you're nightmares that'd make his dreams, right?

Ah...

[Okay, first of all, we're going to take care of part of that - ]

Lee-ohf-alf-high-mer. Let the first two sounds run together, and the last two sounds run together. Lee-ohf-alf-high-mer. Liof-alf-highmr. Ljósálfheimr. My realm is Doh-kalf-high-mer. Same rules as before. Doh-kalf-high-mer. Dokalf-highmr. Dökkálfheimr.

[ Oh. Oh, this is happening now, okay, uhh— ]

Lee-ohf-alf... Uhh.... Liof-alf-highmr. [ That's...about how fast she says it, but the pronunciation isn't bad. Just slower. ] And Dokalf-highmr...

[ She tries repeating them back a few times, to get the sound of it. ]

It'd make sense fairy worlds would be a little...difficult to say. [ chloe it's scandanavian ]

Perhaps so. [Fairy world, Scandinavia, is there really that much of a difference when it comes to gacha games...] I'm certain you'll catch on to it eventually.

As for our realms, however... It's something like that. There was a time when we cared for both, overseeing mortal dreams and nightmares together. But that was a long time ago; since then, the Dökkálfar and the Ljósálfar have remained separate from one another - the Ljósálfar bringing dreams to the mortal realm, and the Dökkálfar having nightmares as our responsibility. He has retainers, as I do with Plumeria - they're a bit...different than she is, however, as one would expect.

[ She's listening, she's nodding... ]

Oh, so they're not all total trolls? [ Chloe you can't just say that- ] Ehh, if you're from a nightmare world, I guess you have to be a little bit of an ass. ...Uhhhhhh no offense intended, your ladyness.

None taken.

[She seems...amused? Albeit in a subtle sort of way.]

We witness and oversee the dreams of mortals, and their dreams sustain us; we do not control what it is they choose to dream about. Given Plumeria's title here is...accurate, she has reasons to find mortals abhorrent.

[Plumeria has Seen Some Shit, in other words.]

Her title? Oh, you mean the—

[ ...Oh. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. ]

...Yikes. So, she's stuck with all the...mmm, that's a bit...

[ Hope she can't see those here. ]
