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!
Hubert von Vestra | Fire Emblem Three Houses
Age: 26 | Species: Human | Occupation: Minister of the Imperial Household
Likes: Irony, coffee, intelligence, useful people
Dislikes: The Church of Seiros, those who bother Edelgard, gambling, heights, nostalgia, laziness
Traits: Cold, astute, loyal
Trivia: Hubert has been working for the Imperial family since he was six.
2...?
[It's easy to forget they are on a ship at all for most people. It's large enough that when inside the bowls of the ship you can pretend to be in a building. As long as you can ignore the subtle sway of the 'ground' between your feet.
For the first week, it seems Hubert is not having a good go of doing that. It's only when everyone is inside for some event or another that he can found on the deck... looking a bit green and half hanging off the railing.
Oops.]
3
[ There's been a few motives so far- most of them ridiculous. Wealth, changing the past, all sorts of pointless things. Hubert doesn't even open his right away- instead, he takes the chance of people yelling and bickering over it to observe, trying to peek at others' envelopes. What weaknesses might set someone on the path of murder? He's... curious.]
5
[ The body has been found, and they are sorely lacking in doctors. So it seems today Hubert is the one doing the body check. He crouches over the corpse, with a slight 'hm' before reaching into his pocket to draw out a second pair of gloves- these black leather instead of his normal white dress gloves. He quickly switches them out before setting to work]
Well then, this shouldn't be too difficult- for once it seems our culprit actually knew what they were doing. Look how clean the slice across the throat is- even if they were already unconscious only someone with steady hands could manage this. Not a single tear or jagged edge. Quite impressive. Under normal circumstances this would be a problem but... well, very few of us have the training or the personality to manage it.

[Relentlessly oblivious chipper attitude helps with seasickness, right?]
Actually pretty nice scenery for a kidnapping. Just endless miles and miles of open water on all sides, not a bit of land in sight- gently rocking side to side constantly-
cw: emeto
- and there is his breakfast painting the side of the ship. It's mostly coffee so probably pretty painful on his end. ]

At least, until he notices that Hubert is creeping.]
Yes?
no subject
[he's starting to regret not looking at his own yet. Not that it matters, he knows exactly who it is.]
You seem a bit more intense than usual.
no subject
[Data examines the photograph a moment longer, before re-folding it and placing it in his pocket. He'll hold onto this.]
This motive was much more well-planned than several of the past attempts. [Some of which still did work. But really, money?]
no subject
no subject
[Which he started doing after the murders started happening, although...well, it's a big ship. He's found several bodies earlier than they might have been located otherwise, but he has yet to prevent anything.
Another, human, person might feel some sort of way about that!]
5 because no one else has tagged him for 5
So does that mean you're not going to blame the lizard girl this timeIn all seriousness, Flayn has arrived at the scene of the crime as she stubbornly tends to do - if not to try and see if the victim can be saved, then to at least put literal years of combat medic experience to work.
Still, the fact that Hubert comes in every time as well is always pretty uncomfortable, even if his expertise has saved their lives more than once.]
...
[She rather liked this person. It wounds the heart to see them gone.]
In your opinion...could the cut have been made after death?
[She's just looking at the way the blood has pooled and not like, splurted out everywhere like it ought to.]
no subject
no subject
Look, she was asleep for most of them, which is the only reason she might not have an edge over Hubert.]
So the person either did not want to utilize poison as their weapon...or they used it poorly and had to improvise?
