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!

...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???]
