[bathymetric]

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!

Plumeria and I will ensure that his soul does not find rest, even when his consciousness is not active in this world. He deserves no respite even in the realm of dreams.

[Freyr would be deeply unhappy with her for feeling that way, but... Well. She can't think about that right now.

As it is, she says it easily, as though discussing a fate worse than death isn't abhorrent; exceptions can surely be made for one who would run something like this.]

It can be ensured that he never wakes again, if outright death is opposed by any.

I wouldn't be surprised if there would be dissenters to an obvious death; there are normal civilians without a begrudging bone in their body who would find themselves hard-pressed to accept it. And I assume the possibility could extend to those who aren't civilians either.

[ It's a fact he's considered as he was absolutely plotting the death of the Captain ever since he knew he had a hand in this.

Still, if the goddess could do what she said herself and her ... friend/companion (?) could do, it may be the best kind of revenge he never would've been able to imagine nor conjure himself. ]

I also do imagine some may find that other option preferable; as long as they're not aware of the far-reaching consequences. But as far as I'm concerned, it sounds like an even more appealing option than him only meeting a painful death.

[dokkalfheimr]

[This one seems...perhaps not as bad as some other mortals she's seen. He can appreciate the concept of nightmares as punishment, at least, and that's points in his favor.]

Then so it shall be, if I have my way with it. It's good, knowing that the beauty in such a thing can be appreciated. A more elegant solution than outright execution... But in the end, decidedly more prolonged while being just as final.

I should hope the others find it something to be considered, at least.
