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! ]

[it's only a matter of time...]

Right? It really is funny how easy it is for silly little rumors like that to spread when they're so wrong.

[...]

Though I suppose part of that is due to how few people actually leave the major cities; it's easier to believe a tale about cute fish-girls than to hear the truth about more horrid monsters, I suppose.

[paucipan]

[Honestly, it is impressive. Ah, the fantasies of humans...

...Still, Plumeria perks a bit when Yeager brings up that second bit.]

They don't leave all that much--why is that? I assume that these...monsters have something to do with it?

[scythegun]

Ja, that's correct. Monsters are everywhere in Terca Lumireis; the cities are the only places that are safe, and that's because of the barriers that keep monsters out.

They're... [Hmm, how to describe monsters...] Extremely aggressive and dangerous animals, I suppose? Although many of them aren't really animal-like at all... Anyway, the point is that most humans can't hope to defend themselves against the monsters, so they remain in the cities and rarely leave.

[paucipan]

[...Geez, what a rotten deal that sounds like.]

...That certainly explains why the people are so sheltered, I guess.

[Plumeria at least grasps it all, to say the least. Even if the animals sound distinctly like something she's heard of before, but that's a bit...huh.]

I imagine it isn't the same for you, is it? Because of Leviathan's Claw.

[She's assuming that guild means what she thinks it means and that it's kind of just. Mercenaries? Or like whatever the summoner and their merry band is doing going across countries and making messes. Either way.]

[scythegun]

Ja, that's correct. My guild handles jobs all throughout Terca Lumireis; I only hire the best of the best and we can certainly hold our own against monsters quite well! Though that is primarily because of blastia - without that to enhance our abilities, even I'd have a difficult time against some monsters!

[...only some??]
