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!

Adeline Merrow | Pokemon/Undertale OC | OTA

[personal profile] oceangirlfriend 2020-12-29 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Name: Adeline Merrow | The Oceanologist
Age: 30 | Species: Cyborg | Occupation: Cultural Ambassador
Likes: Helping people get along, the ocean, her team, Captain Undyne
Dislikes: Pushy guys, pollution, being told to wear more
Traits: Patient, curious
Trivia: She installed and devised almost all of her upgrades herself.

1 - Good Morning Margaritaville

[Despite the confusion in her expression, Adeline's voice is fairly pleasant and she maintains a smile as she steps out on deck to talk to whoever she meets. Her cyborg enhancements are on full display, her tail waving slowly behind her as she talks.]

Excuse me? Do you know where we are? I'm afraid I somehow ended up here without any of my team.

3 - So You Say You Want a Motivation

[Adeline's usual smile is gone, but despite the trembling in her hands as she grips the motive envelope, her voice still remains even.]

...I won't allow this. I won't allow you to set back monster/human relations like that.

5 - Death Bell Tolls

NO! [Adeline lets out a loud cry when she comes across the body, but by the time someone else comes along she's gone back to her usual tone.]

I wanted to stop the motive, but not like this. And now we must search for evidence of the killer...I'm afraid I won't be much help with the body.

[ She'll encounter a very disoriented man in gothic attire who regards her with a smile at first. ] I wouldn't know myself, my... Dear...

[ His smile drops once he gets a good look at her. Yes, this is a beautiful woman in scandalous attire, but her choice of wardrobe made it very clear she has... Metal... patches on her skin? And slits on her neck?? And a mechanical tail???

He stares agape at the offending appendage for some time, trying to register what he's seeing. He can surely add this to the strange things he's seen on this boat so far, like the odd style of furniture and the weird black frames with moving pictures and the strange boxes in the dining area and-- ]


That's it. [ The corner of his mouth twitches. ] Either I'm dreaming this whole thing, or I've finally gone mad!

What do you mean? [Adeline tilts her head to the side curiously, not even thinking that the issue might be her enhancements. Sure, not everyone has access to the kind of enhancements she has, but with the whole Monster situation people have grown way more used to various divergent appearances.] Though if this is a dream, it's a pleasant enough setting.

[She kind of wants to jump off the edge to see how it feels to swim through the ocean.]
puppetlooselystrung: (That a faulty man could have so much fun)

[personal profile] puppetlooselystrung 2020-12-31 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, the ship does seem to be moving, but that's not what he's concerned about. ]

Pleasant? Have you taken a good look at this place? We're on a ship, but it looks nothing like a ship from the inside. The interior design is too plain to be luxurious and too polished to be rustic, there are magic picture frames bolted to the walls, the dining area has cheap seafood displayed as if it was meant to be served to kings... And I'm talking to a woman with a tail!

[ The poor, confused soul sighs, rubbing at his face and mumbling, ] What's next, am I going to meet a flying pig?!

[It's confusing, but after a moment she picks up on something he said about "magic picture frames."]

...what year do you remember it being?
puppetlooselystrung: (I'm tied to so many things)

Veering into headcanon territory for a moment.

[personal profile] puppetlooselystrung 2021-01-09 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ He stares at her blankly for a moment. ]

1813. Why are you asking?
oceangirlfriend: (Default)

[personal profile] oceangirlfriend 2021-01-14 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, that gets an even longer stare from her.] The last thing I remembered, it was 2016. [She rubs her chin thoughtfully.] At least, that confirms there's some kind of time travel going on here.
sharddrive: (okay rotor)

Not to be that guy, but it'd probably help if you didn't call them "monsters" as a start.

[This is helping right.]

...okay maybe I do wanna kind of be that guy about this.
oceangirlfriend: (Default)

[personal profile] oceangirlfriend 2021-01-04 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[She blinks slowly as she turns to him, voice still steady.] It's their name for themselves. Why shouldn't I use it? [Besides, "monster" is pretty much an affectionate term in trainer culture. It's what the "mon" in "Pokemon" stands for, after all.]
sharddrive: (wait what)

[personal profile] sharddrive 2021-01-04 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
...you're kidding, right.

[Is he being punked right now]

[Cause this sounds like the kind of thing someone might tell themselves to feel better about, say, labeling people as monsters.]
oceangirlfriend: (Default)

[personal profile] oceangirlfriend 2021-01-14 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
...I certainly am not. This is not a situation to joke about.
sharddrive: (Default)

[personal profile] sharddrive 2021-01-23 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
... Your home sounds weird. I kinda wanna see it.
oceangirlfriend: (considerations)

[personal profile] oceangirlfriend 2021-01-24 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
If we can find out how they brought us here, I'd gladly bring you for a visit. You wouldn't even stand out that much.
