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! ]

[ One of the other teens... Alright, Chloe'll humor her. ]

Capt'n Fuckhead's gonna try and provoke us, probably.

It's been a few days, and that's this place's time. He probably expected us to obey him by now, and since we haven't, you're right. He'll try. He did say his end goal was everyone dying, so there's no way he really will be fine with people staying forever... not to mention there can't be enough resources for that.

Yep. Sure sounds like we're pretty fucking screwed.

I know, but... We're the only ones who can get ourselves out of this.

Also correctamundo. There's no one coming for us, no one who knows where we are, and no guarantee that anyone can find where we are.

[ ...So, where's the good news...? ]

Even if people are looking, they won't find us. So we have to do it ourselves. What do you think he's going to do?

Break out some threats? That's the standard in a kidnappery, isn't it?

He couldn't be holding us for ransom. So he'd be threatening us, just to make us do what he wants. [She grips the railing tightly.] If what's on the profiles is any indication, he knows everything about us. No matter how impossible.

Sounds about right. That's what megalomaniacs tend to do.

[ Chloe's...not apathetic? But somewhat resigned. ]

I don't know how. Or why, and he won't say.

...You've been talking to him?

I'm considering it. Though if what's happened so far is any indication, he's going to refuse to say anything useful.

If all it’s gonna do is piss you off, there’s no reason to do it.

There has to be some way to get answers out of this place, because we can't stay!

So don't rely on the jackass to get us out, investigate, Nancy Drew.

That's what I'm doing!

[...]

There isn't much yet. But even if there's one thing, that could be enough to get ahead. That's the only thing we can do.

[ Chloe raises an eyebrow. ]

You sound mighty determined. [ She nods, in approval. ] That's good. Probably gonna need that, especially if the douchenozzle's gonna mock and laugh like he did before. That's not gonna discourage you?

I've had worse. Those people will keep on no matter what you do.

Right you are.

[ She stretches a little. ]

Alright. If you're not gonna wimp out? Go for it. Whatever you want.

I will. Whatever the key is has to be here somewhere.

Now that is some Nancy Drew talk.

[ It's a compliment, apparently. ]

Is that... someone from where you're from? I assume yes.

...You never read a book? Nah, she's a cool detective girl everyone grows up reading about.

We probably have different books from you. Most of the people here are from "Earth," right? If everything else is different, the stories probably are, too.

...You're...not from Earth?

[ She looks like a normal person? More normal than some of the ones in fantasy armor and shit. ]
