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!

Lelouch Lamperouge | Code Geass

[personal profile] jibunwo 2020-12-11 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Name: Lelouch vi Britannia | The Black Prince
Age: 17 | Species: Human | Occupation: Zero
Likes: His sister, chess, revolution, paper cranes
Dislikes: His father, the monarchy, obstinate people
Traits: Clever, calculating, compassionate
Trivia: Often answers to 'Lelouch Lamperouge'.


[i; welcome aboard]

[Stay calm. Whatever he did, he had to stay calm. The room was unfamiliar--a ship, but that was impossible. No one could possibly have knocked him out and kidnapped him, and even if they did, why leave him free to move and the door unlocked? Aside from that, who would even be able to manage that? Suzaku? Not a chance, he would have been far away. With...]

[Lelouch allowed that train of thought to taper off. It wasn't going to help. The priority right now was to get the hell out of what he was wearing at present--suit, cape, mask all hurriedly concealed under the bed. Far from ideal, but hopefully no one would go digging around until he could better hide it. Changing into an ordinary set of clothes, he took a deep breath and stepped outside wearing the look of a confused and concerned student. Hopefully this wasn't an enemy ship--then again, by the look of things it wasn't inhabited by soldiers. A civilian vessel?]


Excuse me-how far do we have to go until this ship reaches port? [An embarrassed laugh.] I must have fallen asleep or something and lost track of time.

[ii; welcome aboard]

[Obviously he'd been curious about the unmarked vending machine, and after producing a pile of assorted mystifying junk that Lelouch had stacked in a pile off to the side, it eventually spit out...a single black chess piece. He seemed to be turning it over in his hand, lost in some kind of contemplation.]

[iii; wildcard]

[i'm voicetesting be nice to me i WILL cry]

Hey kiddo. Whatcha got there, something fun?

[personal profile] jibunwo 2020-12-11 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Hello, dear god, what the hell.]

Uh-...nothing. Nothing, really--it's just a piece from a board game.

[Some people are giant buff bug ladies, it's fine.]

Oh, board-games could be fun! Break up the cruise a little. Think the rest of the pieces are in there?
jibunwo: (feels like it might change the world)

[personal profile] jibunwo 2020-12-11 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Sure, this might as well happen.]

It's possible, if inefficient. I don't know why it wouldn't just give me the whole set.

[personal profile] pitofriendship 2020-12-11 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. That is pretty weird. Maybe collecting the whole thing is supposed to be some kind of game on its own?

[personal profile] jibunwo 2020-12-16 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
It looks like it's going to be made difficult, for whatever reason. I don't think any of us can know 'why' for sure.
onlyyoucan: Taken aback. (...what)

[When she hears him address her, Sara turns quickly from where she was rummaging through useless tourist brochures.]

You -- I mean, no, but! You know where we are?
jibunwo: ('til that day they'll always be a part o)

[personal profile] jibunwo 2020-12-16 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Huh-?

[She didn't know?]

You don't remember boarding this ship either?
onlyyoucan: Depressed and overwhelmed. (oh no oh no no no no)

[personal profile] onlyyoucan 2020-12-16 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
...

[She doesn't answer, but she looks out at the ocean.]

So it isn't just me. Did they dump me here?
guffawsungraciously: most of his expression is obscured by his armor! you can interpret it how you like. (bitch.)

I

[personal profile] guffawsungraciously 2020-12-16 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[...yeah okay that's actually making this particular individual give Lelouch an even more suspicious look. I mean, he's kind of odd given that he's got the Proper medieval knight thing going on rather than the Aesthetic medieval knight thing, but you know.]

So you were actually present on this vessel before you woke up here, then?
jibunwo: (feels like it might change the world)

[personal profile] jibunwo 2020-12-16 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Lelouch frowned, dropping the act as soon as he got the information he needed and not a gun pointed in his face. That information, of course, being:]

So this is a kidnapping situation. Have you seen any crew or passengers that were actually here before we awoke?
guffawsungraciously: kind of a neutral dutch angle? it's frowny. i'm bad at describing expressions (hey hendrik look at me.)

[personal profile] guffawsungraciously 2020-12-17 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jasper doesn't relax, but at least the suspicion in his eyes is kind of... different. It's the sort of suspicion reserved for someone who's coming off as too clever by half, but there's a better chance they're on your side than someone else's.]

It is something of the sort, yes. I do not believe I have seen anyone who is on the side of our captors at the moment, but I have been too busy encountering our fellow captives.
