R2 TDM - boys in the band order boat memes

Hello and welcome to the...



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!

1. arise from the depths
[ well, this was definitely not what he expected to wake up to when that black cloud of disease had taken the three of them. they had just been outside of a hospital and now... what is this place...? a hotel?

wait-- is this some sort of ship?!

flat can be seen leaving his room, looking extremely confused. and why wouldn't he be?

he'll be trying to open the doors to the other rooms too, so if he opens yours...well, he looks a little startled. ]


Woah-- so it's not just me. Are you okay?

2. welcome to margaritaville buffet, have some shrimp
[ you know...flat remembers going to van-fem's casino ship quite a bit, but this is on a whole other level. as he checks out the buffet, he's not sure whether to be impressed or just downright confused by the fact that there's so much food.

he looks at all the food, unsure of where to even start. ]


Who even is out here making all of this food?? Are they like little elves that make it while we're not watching?

3. in the face of impulsive bloodlust, motive is only an afterthought
[ as flat holds the envelope in his hands, his expression is blanche as he reads the note once, twice, and a third time, just to make sure.

... ]


Aw, come on, Captain! [ he smiles, but it's somewhat forced. ] I'm still not going to kill, no matter how many times you ask!

4. a call of death
Hey guys! I found the body!

[ of course, flat would have the fortune (misfortune?) the one to find the body. he doesn't sound distraught, however, his voice and facial expressions level as he takes a look at the body.

if that could even be considered a body anymore. it was cut open horribly, with a great deal of blood pooled around it. flat stands right outside of it, almost transfixed. ]


5. wildcard.
( ooc: i'm open to anything! hmu at [plurk.com profile] odasaku if you wanna talk about doing a new prompt or just drop it right here! )
onlyyoucan: Depressed and overwhelmed. (oh no oh no no no no)

You found what?

[Sara hurries in, stumbling to a stop and grabbing the doorframe when she arrives. She stares, shaking a little, then shuts her eyes and sharply turns her head away.]

No way... Somebody fell for that motive after all, and...
simulacres: (44 ; well y’see it’s so warm there)

[personal profile] simulacres 2020-12-12 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
You didn't think that anyone would?

[ flat doesn't seem to be shaken by it, but they are already stepping away from the body. ]

It kind of looks like there was a fight, too...I mean, there's so much blood.
onlyyoucan: Jumping in front to defend. (oh no you don't)

[personal profile] onlyyoucan 2020-12-12 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
That's more than just a fight. Someone did a lot more damage than they'd need to. Did you see anything before you came here?
simulacres: (75 ; now play your parts desperately eve)

[personal profile] simulacres 2020-12-19 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
No I didn't...

[ he looks around a couple of times. hmmm ]

I mean, I saw some bloodied footprints that kind of looked like they were walking away but...why aren't there any footprints here?
onlyyoucan: Gasp of shock. (another obscure mecha girl?!)

[personal profile] onlyyoucan 2020-12-19 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her eyes widen and she looks around the area.]

You're right. With all the blood here, you'd think if they were moving around, there'd be more than just the prints from leaving. So does that mean they just stood there?
guffawsungraciously: a look that strikes me as kind of narrow-eyed disdain. (i absolutely must kill him if they do.)

...I am sure they are perfectly normal cooks. They do not need anything quite as... unconventional.

[look. he's been to feasts before. they don't need elves.]
simulacres: (87 ; perhaps i'm waiting for)

[personal profile] simulacres 2020-12-19 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay maybe they don't need them, but do you really think that human chefs are just going to agree to be on some weird cruise that just kidnapped all of us for no reason? Doesn't that sound unconventional to you?
guffawsungraciously: he's smugly brushing his bangs out of his face. (THIS WORLD IS IMPERFECT)

Not unless there is something in it for them. However, given the amount of resources it would likely take to arrange something like this, I would imagine that whatever staff are aboard are being rather richly compensated. With that in mind, all one would truly need is to find someone who is desperate enough for the work or someone who does not ask too many questions as a matter of course.
