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!

It's a pity it hadn't prevented him from somehow being whisked away to all of...this.
Of course, it didn't mean he was able to avoid any disagreeable situations with any others. As indicated by now when he saw a cabin door swing wide open to reveal a blond-haired man pointing a shard in his direction. His lips pulled into a deeper frown at the words as he calculated whether he should try to disarm him or not.
Even if Risotto was now poised to strike, with things being unusual (such as being unable to activate his Stand) as they are, he wouldn't immediately resort to violence. For now. ]
Unfortunately for you, I can't give you anything.
[ This man seemed to insinuate that he was some kind of Stand user...or at least that's the conclusion Risotto had drawn due to him mentioning not having his 'magic' with him. ]
I believe we're in the same predicament, and so trying to attack me with that would be a fool's errand. [ Pause. ] And I've no idea where we are. I propose we cooperate until we have a better understanding of the situation.
no subject
After a moment or two, he tucks the shard into his coat. May as well start filling up his pockets again, seeing as though everything had been taken from him except the clothes on his back.]
Can't be too sure. You don't want to know the kinds of places I've ended up in.
[In far more compromising positions, at that.]
Seems to be a ship of some sort. Getting above deck would probably be the best to figure out where the hell we are. You coming?
[Besides, you know, being in the middle of the ocean. But Constantine has learned that he can't always trust his senses when he's not completely sure of the tangibility of this reality.]
no subject
[ The assassin's words were said idly as some of the tension in his stance dispersed when the other put away the weapon, but not entirely on account of the fact that he didn't think it impossible to be attacked. Letting one's guard down in a situation like this would be foolish for either of them (or anyone else who happened to be trapped in this unfortunate mess as well.)
...Risotto will give the man another once over before finally turning away from him, satisfied. ]
I am. It wouldn't be wise to linger too long in one spot.
You don't remember anything that would happen to have led up to you being in this situation I assume?
[ And it was at this time that he began to move along so they could mosey properly to above deck. ]
no subject
[Constantine continues forward through the hallway, heading towards the stairwell at the far end. He doesn't like the way this guy talks. Too measured. Too careful. Hiding something, maybe? Definitely. Everyone's got something to hide.
God, he could really use a cigarette. He turns his head to eye the stranger, raising an eyebrow.]
The question is, do you?
no subject
Not when he mentioned demons three times. ]
It doesn't sound like it, no. Though, your life seems to be more...interesting than I could've ever imagined. I don't believe I've ever heard anyone speak of demons as something they've encountered, after all.
[ Anyway, he's been asked a question, and so... he'll answer. ]
Like a job gone wrong, or perhaps angering one of the many gangs. There are many who are far too hotheaded for their own good, after all. It could even be something as simple as a powerful, yet irresponsible Stand user who decided they wanted to abuse their power for their own personal enjoyment. The possibilities are endless.
no subject
You've got a lot to learn about magic, mate. Better off knowing as little as possible, though.
[So that confirms that this man probably isn't involved with...whatever it is that's happening right now. In some ways, magic is a little like organized crime--once you're in it, there's no way out. Unless, of course, you're willing to sell your soul. But even then, there's always the chance you'll end up lying face down in a shallow ditch, where you'll rot for weeks before anyone even finds your body.
Constantine casts a somewhat irritated look towards Risotto.]
The hell is a stand user?
no subject
[ ...considering the nature of Stands, even if someone could make a decent argument that it's not necessarily magic when it came down to it. That aside, he supposed he had miscalculated, given the question being sent his way. Or it could be that the man wasn't aware that Stands were called that; ignorance of such things wasn't unheard of even in those who possessed the ability.
Well, even so, it's not like he could brush it aside now and make it as if he were saying something nonsensical. He didn't present himself as that type of person to Constantine, after all. ]
Someone who essentially possesses supernatural powers. These powers manifest from a form, called a Stand, that becomes spiritually connected to them at the time of a Stand user's awakening. This form can only be seen by other Stand users. Now that I've explained to you, I'm sure you can get an idea of the concept, and whether or not this applies to you or others you've met.
