WEEK 2
So far, so good! That might be where you at. No real further word from The Captain seems forthcoming, but also no real further... anything seems forthcoming. You've gathered some new information, but the locations are the same. All you've really gained is... well, rising tension?
How long until someone tries to take The Captain's way out of here? Only time will tell...

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[ ooc: Welcome one and all to your first case week! Don't forget to turn in regains over here, AC over here, and if you want to chat up the NPCs go here for Davy Jones and here for The Captain! ]

That headache, however, might return, as she walks by Plumeria with a grunt, stops, turns around, and— ]
Where the fuck did that National Treasure come from.
[ It is HIDEOUS. BUT SHE CANNOT LOOK AWAY. ]
no subject
Oh, this little number? Would you believe that vending machine you actually have to use currency for dropped this out?
[Plumeria looks so damn pleased with herself, it's fucking awful.]
Truly, it would seem whatever sort of machination at work there decided to bless me with this awful thing.
no subject
[ Plumeria seems happy to have this monstrosity, she really is a troll! ]
no subject
[You bet your ass she's pleased!!]
Tell me, then, what do you know of this man? Is this some sort of...troll, as you like to speak of?
[please educate her about the wonderful world of nicholas cage]
no subject
[ Hey! Look at that! It's a little slow, but she said it right! Looks like someone (coughFreyja) has been giving her some tips. ]
no subject
We don't have them, but I am familiar with their concept from what I've seen in dreams. It's sort of like a play, if I recall?
[Sometimes it's good to have approximate knowledge from the World of Steel, even if it means seeing weird shit!!]
I take it that this actor is particularly famous?
no subject
no subject
[but you know what. educate her on these...dank maymays, chloe]
no subject
Soo. Say there's like...this big play that everyone's going to see. And midway through, one of the actors...delivers a line really really weird. Like puts this weird emphasis and it's suddenly really funny when it shouldn't've been. And the audience, they all eat it up. They remember it, after it's all done, they tell their friends about it. They reference it, and mimic it, and it's like, something everyone talks about or remembers. People who weren't even there, they start like...saying that line that way, just 'cause.
That's a meme. A...a thing like...an inside joke that spreads waaay beyond itself.
no subject
I get it, yes. [There's something of a small grin on Plumeria's face as she says that, though. Perhaps thankfully, Plumeria doesn't find it in her to tease.] It's something that sticks with you, then; a joke between those who know the material and can share it amongst themselves for a laugh.
So, what exactly is so... [hm...] memey? Memetic? No, no, maybe... Memorable about this...Nic Cage? He must be quite so to have...this sort of following.
no subject
[ Oh my gosh Chloe is so eager to explain this, she is so excited that Plumeria gets it. ]
The guy like... He just has this way. Like, look at the dress. He makes his face do that, in serious scenes. He doesn't know the meaning of restraint. There's this one movie... Like, a fucking garbage one, where he gets a cage fulla bees put on his head? And it's like, jeez, that sucks, but he just starts screaming...
[ And she does the motions and everything. ]
"AHHHHH! NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEEEEEEES!!!"
And it's just. So. Fucking. Stupid.
no subject
She gets to Chloe starting to do the motions and everything for the "NOT THE BEES!" segment and she starts laughing uncontrollably. Just outright like the laughter dam burst open all at once, and Plumeria even has to wipe a tear.]
I--I can certainly see why! Oh, that is just delightful? [Just. Just let her get herself under control, she's never had a laugh this good like. Ever?] Oh...human entertainment really is something else. I can certainly see how he's become so memetic, if he's pulling off such incredible feats...
no subject
Anyway! Plumeria doesn't have to worry about being dignified, because Chloe sure isn't! ]
Yeah! Dude's just like that, it's fucking bananas! [ Hoo, boy! She grins. ] Some of 'em might be accidents but after soooo many memes, you just know the guy's doin' it on purpose.
no subject
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. When you find your calling, it's simply impossible to ignore it, isn't it? And goodness, he sure found his!
[Plumeria is going back to trying to be prim and proper, hiding the leftover giggles behind her hand, but hoo. Hoo boy, this is the best thing she's ever learned.]
Perhaps, if we should find the opportunity in our time here, we should see one of these movies. I'm certain it would prove quite delightful.
no subject
[ She nods, looking over Plumeria. ]
Maybe Ghost Rider. Someone'd like that one. Maybe you. It's so stupid.
