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!

[Give her a good reason, buster]
no subject
[ Now, was he the one who stole all of them first? Absolutely. But potato, potahto. ]
Besides, they're far too dangerous for someone like you to be playing around with! Now give them to me!
[ He's this close to making another swipe for them. He feels like he could probably take her in a fight. ]
no subject
[But geez, if he's so adamant about it, Flayn hands them over.]
Surely they have become like all the other things in there.
no subject
[ He's. He's just sayin'.
- Oh, finally. Valmont swipes the case out of Flayn's hands even though it's being offered freely, because he's petty - and then he hears that last part. ]
You don't mean -
[ Suddenly panicked, he snaps the case open, rifling through the talismans until he comes to the one with a dragon etched on its face. He snatches it up in his left hand, thrusts it at the nearest wall, and concentrates.
Nothing. ]
...I don't believe this.
[ The ship giveth, and the ship taketh away. ]
no subject
[Her staff is useless and it sucks but she wouldn't have marched up and demanded it from someone if they had it.]
no subject
[ Furiously, Valmont hurls the dragon rock at said wall. It bounces off dully and hits the floor with a thud. Nothing dangerous at all happens in the process. ]
It's not fair! Finally, finally the talismans come into my hands, and they don't even work! What am I supposed to do with - with a handful of oddly-shaped rocks?!
[ He rounds on Flayn with this question, for all the world like it's her fault. Grown man throwing a tantrum over tchotchkes. Embarrassing. ]
no subject
[They are rather pretty, all things considered.]
no subject
[ ...She's not wrong, though. They are moderately pretty. In an extremely disappointing kind of way. ]
no subject
[She. Actively wants to help? She feels a little bad that his pretty things don't work.]
no subject
...It's not the absolute silliest idea I've ever heard, I suppose.
[ Like. It's still pretty silly, but... he can at least recognize that getting on her case about it won't make the talismans suddenly start working again. So, sure. Why not let his prized artifacts be reduced to fancily-decorated projectiles. He really shouldn't have set his expectations any higher than that in the first place. This is just his life. ]
