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!
no subject
[She doesn't know how Freyr stands any of them, honestly, much less...
Anyway.]
You would bring him torment, I imagine. The Captain.
no subject
...But there's something of a gleam in Plumeria's eyes as Freyja says that much.]
Oh, but of course. His deplorable actions cannot go unpunished. [Her tone definitely implies that she's at least been thinking of doing exactly that. Not that Plumeria's been idle, but...] Do you have orders for me, Lady Freyja? I will gladly carry them out, if so.
[She is here to make the Captain's life a living Hel (heh) if Freyja asks. And...let's be real, even if she doesn't, but if it means approval--]
no subject
Only if you've retained your full abilities to do so.
[She says it knowing full well that Plumeria likely hasn't, simply because no one has; it isn't outright chastising, though.]
I can't see you being pleased with yourself, if you cannot offer him all you have in return for his...generosity in bringing us here.
["Generosity."]
no subject
...Plumeria tries not to look like she's deflated at least slightly with that, though there's definite "aw man :<" in her expression before it's swiftly corrected. She's not being chastised, at least, but Lady Freyja is right.]
...No, my lady, I have not.
[Plumeria can't deny the truth in those words, try as she might. Her expression hardens a bit, though, when Freyja says that much and her look goes toward the pool.]
You're absolutely correct. I want nothing more than to crush him under the weight of a dream so horrible, he'll never awaken again for this so-called "generosity".
[But she can't, and she hates it, she hates it so much because she feels powerless, and that's--]
I wouldn't want to give our esteemed captain anything less.
no subject
[She says it calmly, evenly, before winging another one of those pucks off into the pool.]
Remember, always, that I gave such gifts to you - I will not stand to see them taken away by one so undeserving.
When they have been returned, when I have found a way to grant them to you again... Then your orders will come. I will not allow such an unworthy creature to deprive you.
no subject
Lady Freyja wants her at no less than her best, and that she would say such fearsome things for her sake only serves to remind Plumeria that this is her place. No matter what is done to her, she'll always stay by Lady Freyja's side.]
I will never forget, Lady Freyja. When that day comes, I will carry them out to completion--you have my word. I will destroy him for this insult.
[Plumeria bows, once she says that--though, when she comes up...perhaps she should leave Lady Freyja to this, but that means fraternizing with the mortals again, and...
Well, Plumeria has never liked not being by Lady Freyja's side. Triandra's is at least passable, but she's not here, so--]
...If I may for now, Lady Freyja, might I join you in your current activity? It looks rather...cathartic, I must admit.
no subject
You may. I thought this slightly more fair than simply throwing the lot of them overboard.
[As it is, someone's still going to have to retrieve them, but that can be a problem for Future Shipdwellers.]
no subject
How very merciful of you, Lady Freyja. I'm certain they'll appreciate it.
[They won't, but it'll amuse the two of them at the end of it all, and really, isn't that the real prize of all of this???
Either way, Plumeria is going to grab one of those weights and...well, try to toss it in--it doesn't get nearly as far as any of Lady Freyja's have, but honestly? It is kind of fun though.]
no subject
[Like, seriously, shit is cathartic.]
A pointless activity in the end, but something to do with one's hands, at least.
no subject
A pointless activity for a pointless place seems all too fitting. But...I really am enjoying it.
[Just let her try tossing it again, and--it goes little further this time! Plumeria finds herself grinning, a little silly looking--but ah, right, she's in front of Lady Freyja, gotta be dignified--]
It's definitely an excellent way to release the stress from this insulting place.
no subject
Freyja doesn't seem to be doing too much with her face one way or another, but she does catch the smile; she doesn't react for a moment, just shifting her gaze and keeping her eyes on the water, but...]
It is well with me, then. If it brings enjoyment to you, it isn't entirely lacking in merit.
