UNKNOWN SEAS R2
TEST DRIVE MEME
Glad to have you aboard! Gone are the musty old dark tones and anxieties of that creepy underwater facility from the first round - welcome to the lap of luxury on your very own Atlantic Cruise. And we mean your very own, too - there's nobody else aboard! Well, except for the Captain, who broke the news to you when you got up about what you have to do here.
The facilities are all top of the line, even if for some reason you just can't seem to get to the other floors of the ship just yet - there's a gym, a pool, a buffet- wait, scratch that, looks like you're on one of our liners lucky enough to have a tie-in deal with Jimmy Buffett himself, which means you get access to all you can eat at the on-board Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville's Jimmy Buffet!
So make the most of your time! Maybe even get a spooky souvenir from somewhere in the B̴͖̈́e̷̟̊̀ṛ̴̩̑̉m̴̺̪̈̈́u̵̧͛̇d̶̗̱̀̔a̸̧̙͗͝ ̶͖̖͑̚T̴̤͝r̷̩͘i̶̟͎͗̈́a̴͍͗̐n̵̥̆͝g̵̮̳͘l̷͔͑ḛ̸̹͒͗ while you're here.
1. Arise from the depths (of sleep)
Hey, you! You're finally awake! Welcome to your modest accommodations aboard... some kind of cruise ship? Look, there aren't exactly a lot of great accommodations offered aboard cruise ships, you get what you get. There's a bed, there's a little desk, there's a vase of flowers... and a beautiful view of the ocean outside your window!
Hope this isn't, like, wildly different and strange compared to where you just were! Oh, also the whole boat is all decked out for New Year's.
2. Room for all kinds of activities!
If you head out to the decks, or just walk around the ship, there's all kinds of things to see here while you wait for the bodies to start dropping! Feel free to make up whatever facilities you like, gyms or shuffleboard courts or even libraries - the Margaritaville buffet is canon, though. That's your canon food option. Hope you like shrimp!
3. Son of a son of a motive
Another Tuesday, another sealed envelope full of fun! Is this finally something worth killing for to get off this boat? Or is it just something stupid and/or embarrassing? Better ask around!
4. A good friend returns
On one of the decks, next to some regular beverage and food vending machines, is... an unmarked one? It only takes these weird coins that sometimes show up in your rooms at night. Sometimes it gives you things from back home! Sometimes it gives you? Little creepy wooden puppets??
5. Wasting away again in... well, a murder
Oh no! Someone is dead! Did you kill them? Are you trying to get the word out? Did you find the body and really need to calm down? Live your dreams, kill who you wanna kill offscreen!
6. Anything else!
There's all kinds of things you might be doing on a boat like this! Don't feel constrained by the options here - live your murderboat dreams!

»Arise«
Ooh, nice!
[That's a heck of a view.]
...is this a mission? Did I sleep through a briefing? You're not in uniform, are we supposed to be undercover?
[She's a force captain, she should probably know these things.]
»So Many Activities«
How is there so much shrimp?
[She might be crying from joy a little. This is probably the best food she's ever had.]
[She is very definitely piling a plate full of little bits of everything.]
Do you think they'd care if I just, you know, took an entire one of these big trays back to the table?
»Wasting Away«
Ah. Hm.
[It's possible that Olivia Octavius, the Inquisitive, is just resting. In a very uncomfortable -physically impossible, really- position. But it doesn't seem likely.]
[Scorpia prods at the body a little with a claw tip, just to be safe.]
Come on doc, wakey wakey. ...Dang.
»Wildcard«
[You know what this is.]
shrimp
We've been kidnapped. You could say they owe it to us.
no subject
That is absolutely brilliant logic. You're brilliant. Has anyone ever told you that?
no subject
What kind of planet is this? It must be far out for no one to notice we're here, remote ocean or not.
Arise
He wanders around and admires the scenery until he sees Scorpia and he feels his heart stop.
Oh gee, that's a big scary lady with even bigger, scarier claws. Ok, if he just slowly backs away and pretend that he doesn't see her, maybe-
... And she's talking to him. He flinches, expecting the worst, until it hits him that she doesn't seem all that threatening. He hopes desperately that she doesn't randomly decide to attack him as he responds.]
W-wait, this is an undercover mission? Why would we need to be undercover on a cruise? It doesn't look like Bowser's here or anything.
[Unless he somehow blocked the memory of Bowser taking over a cruise.
Which... maybe isn't too outlandish, now that he thinks about it.]
no subject
Hey, relax little guy. Everyone sleeps through a mission briefing sometimes, it can be our little secret. So- first let's try to find your buddy Bowser, I'm sure he's gotta be here somewhere.
s h r i m p
[ it's not judgmental. flat sounds legitimately curious as he scratches his chin. ]
I mean, I don't see why not. But won't it be way too much?!
no subject
[She didn't know there could be this much flavor in food.]
[And she's just gonna pick up the tray.]
Only one way to find out, right?
no subject
[ he's so curious now?? ]
Can I join you?
shrimp! heaven! now!
[...he doesn't understand why so many people here like shrimp so much, but the people who have been wildest about it aren't human, so maybe it's a thing?]
For my part, I will not stop you.
Wasting Away (forgive lack of icons plz)
...she's dead. She won't wake up. [Her voice is the same calm tone it usually has, but her expression is obviously pained.]
