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! ]

[ Decus had headed this way with the intention of stocking up on snack cakes and stuff himself (but not for himself, naturally), but as soon as he mentally matches the image of the woman in line in front of him to her profile picture, his eyes widen with excitement and thoughts of Little Debbie temporarily go out the window. Oh shit, is this his chance?!! ]

Excuse me! You're her, right? The goddess of love?!

[...Of all times to be approached, it's when she's working on obtaining just, like, so many Jujubes.

That said, she'll stand up from where she was getting the latest out of the machine, and she'll sort of stare at this person for a while, and then she'll tip her head a little bit.]

I am. You are...Decus, correct?

[She is, I can guarantee, not pronouncing that correctly.]

Oh! Yeah, that's me. [ Ssssort of. ] I guess you've studied up on everyone, huh?

[ ...On second thought, while his inclination is to let that mispronunciation slide since he genuinely does not care, maybe he should make sure she's got the right one. What if she makes some binding magical love declaration between Alice and some mystery guy whose name actually is pronounced that way? ]

Though uh, actually it's pronounced like "dex," just, you know, in case it matters how you say it when you give a blessing or something.

[...This is going places very rapidly, isn't it, ohhh dear.]

...Then so it shall be.

I have tried to acquaint myself with those here, though obviously I have not met everyone quite yet.

[ It sure is!! ]

Great, thanks! I still need to learn more about some of the people here myself, but it probably really comes with the territory for you.

[ aaaah ]

See, I used to pray to this goddess back home sometimes... even though I'm pretty sure she was just a fake, and the Church was technically our enemy. I just thought it was still worth trying if there was a chance it would make my Alice love me as much as I love her.

[ WHICH IS HONESTLY KIND OF IRONIC GIVEN HOW MUCH ALICE IN PARTICULAR DOES NOT LOVE THE CHURCH but ]

You're the real thing though, right? So... I don't really know how it works, but I was wondering if I could pray to you for your blessing, even if I'm not from your world.

[This is. ...DECUS YOU ARE DOING SO MUCH but like. Thankfully this is actually pinging a lot more tolerable than it could be on the scale of How Much Are You Hating These Interactions With Mortals.]

Does your Alice not love you at all, or does she not love you in the same way that you love her?

[ look "so much" is just His Style ]

I'm sure it's the latter! She went to great lengths to save my life once, so no matter what she says to me or about me, I know she cares too.

...I understand.

[Forcing someone who can't stand you to love you is not exactly something she's going to be able to do here, but as it stands this is just...sort of sad??

...Wait.]

It wouldn't happen to be the same Alice present here, would it?

Yeah, that's her.

[ rip ]

[should...should someone tell him...]

...I will do what I can to help you, though I cannot guarantee anything quick or easy in terms of a solution.

[someone should really tell him but it ain't gonna be her]

[ the worst part is He Absolutely Knows ]

Really?? I understand you may be limited in what you can do in this world, but— I'm sure that just having you on our side will help! [ It's got to be more effective than his bullshit mail-order love charms, at least!! ] Nothing can fully suppress the power of love, right?

[ He bows deeply. What fortune that he ended up here with such a benevolent goddess... like... probable future murder aside... ]

You have my thanks, Lady Freyja! If there's anything I can do for you in return at any time, please let me know!

[ He will happily comply with any of your wishes!! Unless Alice tells him not to!!! ]

I will be sure to do so.

[She absolutely will not ask the mortal for anything unless she is literally bleeding out on the floor, but that's beside the point.]

In the meantime, I will grant you my blessing, and I will offer intercessions to Alfaðör on your behalf, for nothing is beyond his power.

[...It feels weirdly nice to be doing this; it's how she used to interact with mortals at one time, before the Everything, and she hadn't thought she'd missed it at all, but...hm.]
