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 grimaces. He can't answer the former, but....]

Ah, yes. Hate and fear spreads like a plague among those who can't see any other option. It gives people as much a purpose as love does--maybe even more so.

[He sighs.]

I figure most people convince themselves that it's a matter of pride. In a good spot, pride means holdin' your head high. But in a bad spot? Having pride just means finding someone to look down at. Elevate yourself above the drivel.

I've found that humans have very little regard for balance. Pride and hatred, the depths of fear and the sin of wrath - again, I am immune to none of these things. So it is with the others that reside within the same layer of divinity as myself, and those higher still; as long as emotions exist, so shall the byproducts of those emotions, and that includes violence among them.

And yet those of us that do not reside among those in Midgard understand that there is a balance to be maintained, and upsetting that balance brings forth dire consequences. Humans, in my experience, seem to be more preoccupied with not being constrained by anything, even if those constraints are for the good of all others that exist. It's a rather selfish mindset.

Existence is a bitch, in'it?

[He runs a hand through his hair.]

You can't really blame them, since a lot of 'em don't see the greater picture. Lots of 'em don't even believe in a higher power or things happenin' beyond their comprehension.

[Therein lie his sympathies.]

You've got to credit them for at least trying to make the world better. Damned if you do, damned it you don't kind of way.

[dokkalfheimr]

Some of them do try rather hard.

[She shifts where she's sitting in the hot tub, folding her arms against the edge and cradling her head in them.]

...Some could stand to try a little less, granted...
