20k Leagues Under the Sea: Taisho

[idolpro]

[The elevator deposits you in the interior of a spacious submersible with a decidedly steampunk aesthetic. All of the metal is brushed bronze, and the navigation tools look to be turn of the century]

[Through the periscope, you can still see the sky; the water visible through the circular windows is a pale blue-green, kissed by filtering sunlight]

I feel like trying to get the coral is going to bite us in the ass, but at this point why not go all out.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

The only goal is to reach 20,000 leagues, right? There doesn't seem much point in taking souvenirs.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[time5kip]

Fair enough, and we may damage the submersible.

No souvenirs. We'll buy them at the points shop.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[auguryofinnocence]

Exactly, better not to take any risks. Even if no damage is done, I wouldn't be surprised if the narrative becomes "you come across a creature that is furious to see you've damaged the reef and now it wants to kill you".

Or maybe that's part of their body or something. I'd be mad if someone tried to take my arm off too.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[auguryofinnocence]

Whether it's their body or home, I suppose I would understand a bit of ire. It's been a while since we bothered to play smart, I think we should prove we can still do it.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[time5kip]

Well this is mostly luck based, but you're right that being careful won't hurt.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[auguryofinnocence]

For now certainly, but going outside of the requirement is only likely to introduce more chances for something to go wrong. And we are here to help Baritones.

[And protect Five.]

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[time5kip]

Provided they will need it to begin with.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[auguryofinnocence]

I do wonder whether the winners, which will obviously be us, will get to know the state of the other units before deciding.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[time5kip]

That would be too nice.

But if Baritones is fine I would like to keep an eye out for Wild City.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[auguryofinnocence]

I thought that might be the case. I don't care besides Baritones anymore, so it will make things easier.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[time5kip]

I unfortunately have still too many Units to care about, but with any luck not everyone is playing.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[auguryofinnocence]

So long as we don't end up with one of your siblings on nearly every unit, hm?

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[time5kip]

Jesus the fact that that's likely is terrifying.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[auguryofinnocence]

I hope you all had a nice time together while they visited, at least.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[time5kip]

... We did. It did end up being overwhelming for Luther, which felt bad for him, but I hope we'll get more chances soon.

I was glad to see them again.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[auguryofinnocence]

...Good you didn't waste it. Though it will certainly be better at home.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[time5kip]

The same goes for you and your family. You'll see them again soon.

Which does remind me Glory sent me a recipe to cook for you.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[auguryofinnocence]

They did come to visit the other day...

[But-]

Why did she send you something like that? You don't have to cook for me.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[time5kip]

No, but I want to. We could cook it together if you'd like.

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[auguryofinnocence]

...Well. That can be enjoyable I suppose.
