WEEK 3

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Karolina and Mulan are dead. The first, and hopefully the last, deaths of your stay here. Hopefully their deaths won't be in vain. Your third week here starts on a solemn note, and the mood here has taken on a significant downward spiral. If it's any consolation (it isn't), you'll find that you have two new floors to explore...even if one of those floors has about twenty STAY OUT signs nailed to it.

23 guests remain.]

[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

{ooc: Don't forget to turn in your week 2 AC! As we're now officially in full murdergame mode, AC from here on out is extended till Thursday.}

I appreciate that. I'm not sure what items of mine it could pull out, but if you happen to pull anything out, let me know and I'll come take a gander.

[He'd really like that infinity-sided die right about now.]

[wannagetsmote]

Sure thing.

[Admittedly, the demi-god was a touch distracted. As he "listened," Maui spun the oar around in a deft motion. It was no hook, but at least it was a weapon.]

They still have boats where you're from, right?

[sixfingeredstan]

Of course! In fact, before I was brought here, my brother and I were adventuring at sea.

[Something he sorely wishes he was doing right now, instead of festering away in this place, waiting to die.]

[wannagetsmote]

So you guys are like... voyagers, then? [That certainly got his attention. He rocked onto his heels, bobbing his head some as he did.]

What's your navigation technique?

[sixfingeredstan]

Something like that! Adventurers in search of the mysteries of the deep.

[He's thrilled that Maui seems to actually be interested in what he has to say!]

Well, we mainly rely on a thing called a GPS, which charts our location. But we also use a compass to guide our way.

[wannagetsmote]

Mysteries of the deep? Listen, I've seen what's in the deep, and it isn't pretty. Actually, it's a lot pretty, but that's the problem. The thing in the deep is a giant crab, and he will eat you.

[He blinked a few times, then tilted his head to the side.]

What's a Gee pee ess?

[sixfingeredstan]

Oh, yes, there are plenty of Eldritch horrors down there. And it's always been my brother's and my life dream to discover them! It's fascinating.

[note to self: ask about that giant crab later]

It's an electric device that tells you exactly where you are in the world, and shows you what's on the road—or sea—ahead!

[wannagetsmote]

Listen. Tell you what. If that's what you're interested in, I'll show you Lalotai once we're out of here. How about that?

[Maui blinked hard, then let out a scoff.]

Reading the stars sounds a lot easier than that.

[sixfingeredstan]

[Ford's eyes light up. Take him away in your big strong arms, Maui—]

I'd love that. And that may be, but it basically does all the work for me. Lets me concentrate on my work!

[wannagetsmote]

[Forge don't make this gay.]

Alright, one trip to Lalotai, coming up. Courtesy of the Maui express. Or something like that.

[Though he could appreciate the fact that Maui and Ford had their differences, it was hard, perhaps next to impossible, to fathom not using the stars to find his way. Even if there was an easier way, it just... didn't seem right.]

Whatever works for you, I guess.

[sixfingeredstan]

I'll hold you do it.

[Ford shrugs massively.]

To each his own. Though I'm sure your method is far more intuitive.
