R3 TDM - is a man not entitled to the tags of his toplevel?

[bathymetric]

Hello and welcome to the...



UNKNOWN SEAS R3
TEST DRIVE MEME

Welcome... to Rapture! Well, New Rapture. It's a lot like the old Rapture - art deco as hell, lots of glass looking out at the ocean floor, creeping sense of derelict dread - but at least it isn't a research facility! In particular, you're starting off in a pretty retail-heavy area of the abandoned underwater city. And good news: you can basically grab whatever you want, because there's no other living souls in this city!

Not that this is an exact reflection of areas in the game, but there's a clothing store, a pool, a library, a... bank? Whatever you want, basically.

1. Atlas shrugged as he woke up from a real big nap

You wake up in a beautiful four-poster bed, in a room that... well, has seen better days. It's been cleaned recently, sure, but the paintings have tears in them and the carpet is worn down. The lights work, though!

... As do the lights out the porthole. You're uh. Super underwater. Surprise?

2. Participate in capitalism! Bioshock, baby!

For an abandoned city, there's a surprising amount of stuff to do here! Head to Fontaine Fashions for clothes, Fontaine Fountains Waterpark, the Fontaine Mayoral Library, or the Dining Hall (Sponsored by Fontaine Futuristics!)! In case any of you forgot who brought you here.

3. Kill, would you kindly?

Another Tuesday, another sealed envelope full of fun! Is this finally something worth killing for to get back to the surface? Or is it just something stupid and/or embarrassing? Better ask around!

4. Welcome to the circus of [REDACTED]!!!

Down one of the alleys, 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. Look, Mister Bubbles! An angel!

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 to do in this town! Don't feel constrained by the options here - live your Rapture dreams!

[ The mirror shard is recent enough in Nandor's memory that he doesn't outright do the angry vampire hiss thing! But there is a definite growling sound in the back of his throat as he glares: first at the door, then at the Undertaker. ]

I said I was doing it, didn't I?! [ And now he's glaring at the door again! ] Fucking guy.

[ He seizes the doorknob and, fueled by petty anger, emboldened by the fact that it's not searing his hand, flings the door open wide. ]

Well, it's certainly from his room. [ There's a beat. ] Lot of beans in here.

[giddyundertaker]

[ Ignore the giggling in response. He thinks your grumpy snapping is a bit humorous.

At least he does quiet down long enough to hear the observations... ]

Beans, you say...?

[ He carefully picks up the corpse like a newlywed bride and carries it with him to the doorway. ]

What else are you seein' in there? A broken mirror, perhaps?

[fuckingguy]

[ Nandor squints, slowly puts one toe over the threshold, and quickly enters the room once it becomes clear he can do so without ill-effects. ]

Mostly, I am seeing cans of beans.

[ He isn't lying about that! Some much smaller and less lethal glass detritus lies on the floor outside the bathroom door, and further investigation will reveal that inside the bathroom itself the mirror has been busted to shit, but the incredible amounts of canned food stacked in neat towers along his walls are the real eyecatcher here. Someone was clearly preparing for the worst, a conclusion Nandor personally fails to come to because he hasn't eaten food in 700 years. ]

A very depressing sight. [ He's staring down at the floor glass when the sound of the Undertaker approaching makes him turn his head! is this mf carrying the dead teenager like a monster in a classic horror movie............ ] You are definitely disturbing the crime scene right now.

[giddyundertaker]

[ The Undertaker casually glances at the wall of cans as he creeps in. ]

Seems our dearly departed friend musta been afraid of starvin'...

[ At the question, though... There's just a casual pause. ] ... What? I couldn't just leave him on the floor like that! I've got to take care of him once this is over, don't trust that Fontaine bloke to give him a proper farewell.

[ The profiles made the Undertaker's occupation VERY clear, you know... Heck, that's the only thing they call him, other than that weird title. ]
