WEEK 2

[bathymetric]

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! ]

[...]

Tell me what you think of Chloe, if you don't mind? I find myself curious.

[paucipan]

Oh, the blue haired girl, right?

[Plumeria has not called many people by name since starting this exercise and she's apparently not going to start now. Still, Plumeria thinks for a moment.]

She's amusing. She speaks in a manner that's incredibly hard to understand, but quite fun to utilize. [read: mis-utilize and horribly curse everyone in a five mile radius] Her presence isn't as unbearable as most of the wretched humans in this place, if nothing else.

[So all in all, pretty ambivalent?]

If you're asking if she might take such a thing, however...I think she might turn out better than most. Maybe, at least.

[She'd certainly look cool, if nothing else? Probably like, Triandra but neon, maybe.]

[dokkalfheimr]

...She seems the sort that's suited to it, almost. To Dökkálfheimr.

[...She would induce some of the most depressing dreams known to man, admittedly, but...]

It's merely something I've noticed from staying in the same room with her.

[And, like, talking to her about stuff.]

She truly isn't one of the horrid ones, however. If I must be staying with one of them at all.

[paucipan]

[So they're on the same page, then. Plumeria nods her head as she listens to Lady Freyja; it at least sounds like this one is good, at least.]

Well, I'm glad she isn't. I'd have several harsh words for her if she were giving you a hard time, Lady Freyja, and I'm certain she wouldn't bother you again after.

[...Of course, once that's out there in Plumeria's usual tone, she goes just the slightest bit more subdued as she looks down to the flower in her arms. Contemplative.]

...It's strange, really. I haven't seen a single one of anyone's secret dreams since arriving here. All I've been able to use to...ascertain these humans is what they talk about.

[She's so used to having every reason to disparage them, and for several, she still has plenty of reason to do so. And yet...]

I'm not sure how to feel about it. But...I guess a few of them aren't so horrible.

[dokkalfheimr]

...It's still worth keeping our guard up.

[Conversation they're currently having aside; that still seems...important, really.]

The Captain's game is still in place, and it's entirely possible that we just haven't seen their true colors yet. It may just be that they're better at hiding from us, now that we can't see the contents of their dreams.

[paucipan]

[Ah--Plumeria straightens up at that.]

Of course. I don't have any intention of letting my guard down around them. They're still disgusting, vulgar beings who are just...better at hiding it, in this circumstance.

[That's how Plumeria's attempting to justify it.]

I have no intention of letting my guard down, Lady Freyja. I won't even give them the opportunity. And...I'll do everything I can to keep you safe, I swear.

[dokkalfheimr]

I know you will.

[She does seem to believe that much, entirely.]

I'm glad that you could be reunited with your flower here, even if it took some time.

[paucipan]

...Same here. It's...nice to have a piece of home, even in a place like this.

[Plumeria smiles softly down at the flower again.]

Thank you again for reuniting me with it, Lady Freyja.
