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
I would estimate he has been dead for at least six hours. Everyone else on the ship had likely been asleep for some time.
[Including himself; he's continued sleeping regularly since coming here despite the encouragements towards murder. He'd hoped it wouldn't happen, at least not so quickly. It hasn't even been that long.]
Perhaps I should refrain from sleeping in the future.
no subject
Someone was desperate to get out. I don't see the knife anywhere, so they're probably hiding it on them or in their room.
no subject
[Searching everyone for secret knives is a pretty basic step here, after all.
Data moves to start tearing open Evan's shirt, the better to examine the wounds, and then glances over at Sara.]
I can examine the body on my own. It is not necessary for you to stay.
no subject
[Just as she mulls this over, the body announcement goes off. She doesn't respond until it's over.]
It's like he said. We have to find out who did it. ...I can look. Even if they might have thrown the evidence overboard, there has to be something they left behind.
no subject
[If she says she can do it, he'll believe her! Data tears open Evan's shirt in one quick motion. He does not seem to have any compunctions about inspecting the wounds closely, even as blood gets on his hands.]
There are four wounds. They are...reasonably deep. I would posit that the perpetrator was not familiar with killing in this manner.
[Or they were just pissed, which...is a reasonable reaction to encountering Evan Hansen tbh]
no subject
[She looks away and starts searching the area for anything else left around.]
no subject
[As to his popularity...well, Data didn't have any particular problem with him, but that does seem to have been true. Data examines his hands quietly for a moment. There's some lacerations on his hands and arms.]
It looks as though he attempted to shield himself, but I see no signs that he struck his attacker.
no subject
no subject
[Data makes a few other minor checks, but he's looked over the major parts now. Finished, he looks at Evan for one last moment; he seems dispassionate, but he then starts to go about replacing his shirt and closing his eyes. They will doubtless not be permitted to attend to the body in any meaningful fashion, but it is disrespectful to leave him exactly like that.]
Have you found anything else? It does not appear that the killer was particularly methodical. They may have left evidence behind.
no subject
[She hesitates, puts down the torn book, and continues to look. A pile of books gets shifted over, showing a smudged footprint in blood.]
Something under these... It's ruined, but you can still tell the size.
no subject
[Data just kind of...looks at it for a moment. When you're an android, this is what you do; he's got the picture and measurement now.]
Although I maintain that these murder trials are inherently unlawful.
