WEEK 1

[bathymetric]

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! ]

[Constantine blinks.]

Uh, yeah, I'd imagine that's called 'having the key'--but you bring up a good point. There's always the option of just smashing through the glass, but I'm not really a fan of brute force. Not without reason, I mean.

[A pause. He looks towards the vending machine.]

You wanna give it a go?

[He's...probably joking.]

[onlyyoucan]

[She almost looks like she's actually considering it for a second.]

That won't help even if it weren't likely to tip over and kill us. But if there are workers coming out when we're not here, they'll probably have all of the keys.

[scouserer]

So we wait here and see if we can ambush a random janitor that we don't know exists. Great plan.

[He leans against the vending machine.]

Have you considered maybe the others brought here might be working with the Captain?

[onlyyoucan]

Even if it's possible, it isn't likely. You could all be faking how much you know, but there wouldn't be any reason to do all of this just to get rid of me when they were already doing that. I don't know how it is for you.

[scouserer]

[Constantine lets out a grunt.]

I'm not saying everyone--just one or two people to report back to the big boss. He's already got Davy in his pocket, so what's a few more?

Besides, you'd be surprised just how many rituals are dependent on emotional state of people.

[onlyyoucan]

So that's what you think he's doing? Ritual sacrifice?

[scouserer]

It's one of the options, at least. It makes the most sense to me. Though I'm not sure why he'd need to drag Mr. Jones into it.

[onlyyoucan]

I think he might not really be on the ship or just can't get out, and needs someone he can control to look after it. Though there isn't much to support that either way yet.

[scouserer]

[He pauses, for a moment.]

Won't do us much good faffing about and throwing wild theories without anything to come of it, will it?

[A thin smile comes to Constantine's face.]

Have you bothered checking out the rest of the ship, yet? Kid like you ought to relax a little while things are still calm.

[onlyyoucan]

This isn't a situation where we can relax, no matter how old we are. It's more important to look for the truth, or whatever can lead to it.

[scouserer]

[Constantine lets out a low whistle.]

Wow. Ms. Serious Sara, ain't'cha?

[Hopefully, she doesn't mind the nickname.]

Look, s'no use running yourself ragged trying to look for the answers. In my experience, looking smarter and not harder got me where I needed to go.

[onlyyoucan]

[Wow. Called out.]

The longer we're out here, the longer we're in danger, not to mention what might be going on at home.

[scouserer]

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

[He crosses his arms, rolling his eyes.]

Lighten up a little, will you? You're gonna collapse under all that weight.

[onlyyoucan]

Everyone says that. But someone has to.

[She shuts down, turns away, and walks out.]

[scouserer]

[Well. There she goes. Constantine lets out a huff, shaking his head and stalking the other direction.]
