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!
Plumeria | Fire Emblem: Heroes
Age: ??? | Species: Dökkálfr. | Occupation: Servant to the Queen of Dökkálfheimr.
Likes: Unconditional love, mortal desires, heroism, Lady Freyja.
Dislikes: Wells, mortal desires, repulsive mortals.
Trivia: Plumeria has long wished to become a hero, so that she could make her mother proud.
II.
[Plumeria isn't exactly one for good first impressions; that much is likely obvious as the days go by, her dour demeanor known to pretty much anyone who's talked to her for more than a second at a time. She's quite prickly, and being on a ship with a bunch of mortals certainly hasn't helped her mood in the slightest. Even at her best, she seems to keep everyone at arms length, distrustful of most everything here.
Most everything, of course, does not extend to the buffet table. As much as Plumeria tries to deny it, even she's a slave to more...mortal desires. And more mortal desires, in this case, is enough variety in sweets to make Plumeria's inner child light up like the decorative lights on this cruise ship. But there is one thing that's managed to capture her interest rather effectively, and Plumeria can hardly believe what she's seeing.
A fountain. A fountain that's shooting up chocolate, like something a Ljósálfr would give to a child in their sweetest of dreams, and Plumeria seems utterly entranced by it, wings fluttering of their own accord as she places a piece of strawberry on a stick and dip it into the chocolate, before taking it out and biting it and--]
Oh-- [Well, she's pleased. She's just going to get that swallowed down.] Well, it seems that there's one good thing on this ship.
[...She may be walking around the table a bit, looking around a bit to...oh god someone please stop her, she's absolutely going to try and take it for herself if not stopped--]
III.
[Secrets aren't something that Plumeria is usually all too perturbed by, really. She's the fairy that sees the most secret and salacious dreams of mortals; any kind of secret that they could take from her would only serve to make her laugh, Plumeria thought. Mortals were always so horribly base about such things, and yet...
Plumeria opens up her envelope easily, rolling her eyes before she reads the secret in question, and oh, her tune changes fast.]
...And here I thought you mortals were horrific as it is, but this is--
[Plumeria crushes the piece of paper in her hands, the almost cruel smirk on her face only barely hiding the fury that's building underneath. Whatever her secret is, she's fucking pissed that they've brought it to the surface as she storms off.]
IV.
[The sole reason that Plumeria is at this machine is to get rid of these stupid coins that keep popping up in her room, really, and try as she might to get something useful out of these machines, it always seems to be the same various knick knacks and other horrible items that plague her. Nothing useful for her, but...
Well, you might just be walking into the room at the same time, and though it's with Plumeria's usual coldness, she does call out to you.]
Hey, come here for a moment. [Yes, that means you.] I've no use for any of this; come and take some of it off of my hands.
[...It. It doesn't sound like she's giving you an option, but it's free stuff??? Maybe it'll be worth it. Only you can choose your fate.]
VI.
[Wanna do something else? Hit me up at
iv
[Sara raises her eyebrows and looks over the pile... okay?]
Build-it-yourself furniture... hot sauce... ancient board games?
no subject
[...Plumeria can you not sound so haughty, christ--]
Go on, take some of it. It's not like I need it anyway. Honestly, I don't even know what any of this is doing in here in the first place.
no subject
[She says as she looks over an IKEA nightstand.]
Why do they send us all this stuff...
no subject
[Plumeria rolls her eyes a bit, starting to plunk a few more coins into the machine.]
But I suppose we don't have anything more useful we can do with these coins than spend them.
no subject
no subject
I don't know, just--something that's not any of this? I would like to find something that would make dealing with all of this a little more bearable, or just...something that might please Lady Freyja, but this machine has seen it fit to give me nothing but junk.
Really, it's all too tempting to upend it entirely until it does.
[plum you're not NEARLY powerful enough for that]
no subject
no subject
...To say that I simply work for Lady Freyja is an understatement; I wouldn't be anything without her. I serve her every need, no matter how small, and I do so gladly.
[...]
But okay, what's so bad about shaking this awful machine? Enlighten me.
no subject
iv
It looks as though you've received quite a few things.
[That's... an impressive amount of stuff.]
You're certain you don't want any of it?
[...okay there's probably like, a ton of useless items in here, but surely there's at least one valuable thing, right??]
no subject
Why would I have need for any of this? There isn't a single thing here that looks like it could be useful.
[...That's a lie, there's gotta at least be like. Food or something in there. But look, between the live worms, the wizard hat, and the fucking marionette among other things, what is she supposed to do with any of this???]
Really, I can't even begin to imagine what mortals would do with this junk.
no subject
For what it's worth, as a mortal, I have no idea what other mortals do with this junk.
[Look at this horrifying marionette... Terrible. It would absolutely give someone nightmares. Maybe he'll hold onto it.]
What sort of useful thing were you looking for?
no subject
...Probably not, but that's a problem for future Plumeria.]
It's not worth much. [...thanks plum] But I guess it paints the Captain's decision to put things like this in here in a different light. If even mortals can't find a use for it.
[Still, that question...hmm. Well, she can't look suspicious; mortals would likely take any commentary on a weapon or the like to mean she's a threat. And for as much as Plumeria is obviously keeping her distance, she doesn't want to completely play her hand. So...something safe, something--]
...Something that might make Lady Freyja happy to receive, for starters. Or something that could make dealing with this ordeal a little more bearable.
I like to think neither of these things are too much to ask.
[...It's only slightly a lie, but there's definitely some truth in it as well, so it's not as false as it could be.]
no subject
Anyway wow, this really is a lot of junk. You sure did get a terrible roll here. Hubert is currently being mildly confused at a coconut, but he glances up at her answer.]
Certainly not, but I doubt you're likely to find anything too interesting here. The Captain likely finds it amusing to watch our reactions to what this machine gives out.
[In other words, he's gotten absolutely nothing useful either and yet he keeps coming back. Maybe someday it'll give him a knife...... he can dream........]
no subject
So you've had little luck with it as well, I take it.
[Plumeria wanders back toward the machine for now, though, inserting some coins in.]
I wouldn't be surprised, though, that he does. I bet he wouldn't be nearly as amused if people started regifting these awful things back to him.
no subject
It depends on the item. Even if we were to try to leave items for him, I doubt he would have any interest in collecting them.
He may be the sort to find the efforts amusing, however.
[shame we don't have an airhorn to blast at him..........]
no subject
Ugh. I hate that you're right. And here I was hoping it might be a good opportunity to get revenge for this slight...
[Alright, coins in the machine, let's see what comes out...well, it's mostly useless junk so far, but there's something that briefly gleams as it hits the ground like it's got some metal in it, but--
Well, apparently this machine's filled with water or something because the last thing it pours out is a gallon of sea water, causing Plumeria to jump back as if stricken.]
--Is this some kind of sick joke?!
[SHE'S SO OFFENDED???]
ii
[ as if there's anything that flat could do about it. but still, hey! ]
sorry for the delay!!
(She really wasn't, but Plumeria can dream.)]
Oh? And what are you going to do if I decide to, mortal? You couldn't stop me even if you tried.
[oh my god]
no subject
[ it's not like he has his magecraft.
but what he does have is-- ]
I'll just block the door, then! Then you can't get out and take it to your room!
no subject
Oh please. And what if I just decide to forcibly move you out of the way? What exactly do you intend to do about that, hm?
[plumeria with all due respect, you have a lot of confidence for a girl who's attack stat is demonstrated in magic rather than the use of twig limbs]
ii
...
Maybe he'll appeal to logic instead.]
Are you really going to attempt to take that away from all the food you could potentially dip in that thing? That is half the point of even having it, after all.
no subject
And who's to say that I don't intend to take some of this food with me? The strawberries are clearly the best thing that you can dip into it, and you mortals can keep the rest.
[That's said as haughtily as ever, but if nothing else, her focus is on Jasper now rather than the fountain. For the moment, at least. She's fucking watching you, asshole.]
no subject
...
But he's not going to give up!]
It is hard to argue that, as strawberries are certainly in the highest echelon of fruits... but without proper experimentation, can you be entirely certain they are truly the best of all pairings? They may put cherries out for us at some point, after all.
