WEEK 3
[The week begins as last week began. But there's is a great difference-murder. It has happened. Blood has been drawn; it cannot be undone. The Game has made itself known. The Game is paramount. The Game simply is.
As morning dawns, those who were not present with the DEAD lock will find that the doors that were locked are now gone-and a whole new area has finally opened up to them. They will also find that they remember something they had not been able to recall beforehand. The question is, was it worth it?
And-is it you, or is the ship getting...colder as the hours go by? No, it's not just you. By the end of Sunday, the ship has started to dip into freezing temperatures. It might be difficult for people to bundle up-unless you're Brain, who will find his closet inundated with winter clothing that fit him perfectly.
Yup. This is going to be a long week, as if last week wasn't bad enough.
There are currently 16 strangers in this place.]

I'mFine! I'mFine! NoMemoryLossHere! DidYouComeHere ToHearAboutMyNewShips!? I made some more of them if you're here to listen!
no subject
Hermes, you are aware we've all suffered some sort of memory loss, yes?
[Look, people have conversations in public? He's gonna listen in. That's just how the world works.]

[If Moriarty thinks Hermes is lying, the poker face Hermes has right now says otherwise.]

[...Poker face.]

[PRESS X TO - hang on wait what, what the fuck are those.]

Yeah! Limbo gods. Iiiiiii didn't want to overwhelm you with too much information at the start, but limbo gods are even higher than us Greeks and Romans. If we take control of the mechanics of the universe, then Limbo Gods ARE various parts and concepts of the universe. Like the Creator being Tradition and Innovation and the Divided being what is Known and what is Unknown and the Neo being Life and Death!
[Press X to doubt that he always knew this info...? For such an expressive robot, he hasn't changed his face in a while.]
no subject
Still, this is actually...quite facinating.]
I see...So those concepts given 'form', so to speak, and conciousness.
...I must say, your game sounds quite complex.
no subject
NotTooComplexThatNobodyUnderstands! I'm the first person anyone sees in the game. If I leave out important mechanics for a first-time player, then the players will stop playing the game! AndThenWhatUseWillIBe?
no subject
I was mostly marveling that they managed to make all of those separate things work as one cohesive whole - I'm not sure if this would be gouache to say, but I find myself wanting to look at your game's coding...or perhaps even play it myself!
no subject
TooBad! YouDon'tGetToPeek AtTheUnobfuscatedCode! That'sAGoodWayToPeadToPiracy! Buuuut I'll tell you what. If we ever do escape here, I'll make sure to get a copy of Fortuna for you! You'll be able to play on a completely fresh install!
no subject
He'll totally do it when Hermes leaves him alone with the game, though.]
Alright, alright! I suppose it wouldn't do to spoil the fun. Then I'll hold you to that, Hermes! I look forward to a rolicking adventure when we've escaped the confines of this ship.
