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!

[That gets her to glance over, and her expression is fairly neutral but her tone is warm.]

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.]

[Plumeria's lips turn upward all too easily at that, and she'll gladly go to join Freyja in her activity, then.]

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.]

There's something pleasing in it, isn't there?

[Like, seriously, shit is cathartic.]

A pointless activity in the end, but something to do with one's hands, at least.
paucipan: (🌹 i know the sickening thoughts)

[Plumeria nods her head in agreement; it really is pleasing. Don't mind her as she just goes to grab another one--]

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.

[Oh no, Plumeria.

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.
