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.

[ 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! ]

Maybe he thought he'd find something about Davy Jones in there. Davy Jones would fit books like that one.

[Trying to joke a little, it seems -- but he can't deny Lorna has a good point there! What the heck, Captain, did you change your thievery ways all of a sudden?]

[bonesorter]

I... suppose he does resemble some beings that live in the Unknown, but I have not heard Auntie Whispers mentioning his name before, so I must assume that perhaps he is not from there... or is even more obscure than anyone Auntie Whispers knows.

[ahelpingpaw]

Is Auntie Whispers knowledgeable about this kinda thing?

[Well, what do you think, Filbo, that tome is hers. She probably doesn't own it for kicks and giggles]

[bonesorter]

Ay. She knows many things about the Unknown and, for the most part, what to do in response to many things that live there too.

Not to say that there are not friendly entities within the Unknown, but there are also... frightening ones too that one must be careful of.

[ahelpingpaw]

The world out there really is large and full of things...

[Compared to his own world, everyone's homes sounds so complicated out there, and that's after he realized that some potentially bizarre things happen in his own]

If what that book says is all true then staying away from the Unknown in general seems like a good idea. I wouldn't know what to do if I were in the middle of it -- leaving aside I can't make it on my own out there in the wilderness anyway.

[bonesorter]

[Lorna smiles rather awkwardly at that, because... man, how do you tell someone that your experience with the Unknown isn't exactly a choice in the matter. All she can say is:]

Yes... it would probably be best to try not to pass into the Unknown, lest you end up becoming lost if you're unfortunate enough to be traveling on your own in there.
