Entry tags:
team building exercise but it's the rebellious one
Who: Everyone who decides to come to the meeting being hosted by Reigen Arataka
What: Information Sharing between all the passengers! Let's come up with a plan to figure out how to get back home/reach the Captain/etc. anything else of importance on people's minds here!
When: March, before Pirate Jenny subplot
Where: Cabin 112 (Reigen and Beetlejuice's cabin on the ship)
Warnings: None yet but will add them if they become necessary
[Bright and early in the morning, everyone on the ship will wake to find what appears to be a note that has been folded and shoved under everyone's cabin doors, early before the invisible cleaning crew that shows up after people leave the rooms might know of it. It's written in a what looks like a hasty manner on what may or may not be stolen napkins to be honest if he somehow runs out of enough paper for everyone, but the writing is legible and the meaning clear.]
Let's form a plan regarding what to do about our captors here. We need to work together if we want to find a way off this ship and back home.
Meet us at Cabin 112 at the time specified below. I've found that Friday will likely not appear when people are in their cabin rooms due to believing passengers should be allowed some privacy. To be safe however, bring this note with you so that she or whoever it is that cleans the rooms when you leave your cabin doesn't find it.
[Should you accept to come to the meeting, you'll find that cabin 112 is home to Reigen and Betelgeuse. The former of which appears to be the one who sent out the notes, as when he answers the door, he gives a grateful greeting.]
Thank you for coming. Please, hurry inside.
[There's a couple of chairs to sit in, but if we run out of them... well, there's always the beds (maybe use Reigen's to sit on, no promises that Beetlejuice keeps his side of the room clean), or having to sit in the bathtub if necessary to make room for everyone.
Welcome to the (first?) Secret Meeting for all of us Passengers here. Let's see if we can come up with any plans or strategies of what to do in this place.
ooc: There will be toplevels in this post you can have your character jump into, whether to share anything your character has discovered during investigations or conversations with Friday, or just for shenanigans and mingling fun to get more CR with each other! Feel free to thread hop to your heart's content!]

He was incredibly well-known.
"Where are we, then?" He mused. "Also, what do you mean by murders?"
no subject
This was his current theory for it looked a lot like Earth, but apparently wasn't as it was tucked behind some shield that kept them separate.
"All Friday said was that there would be murders and wondered why would I be surprised by that. She thought I was underestimating human creativity..."
What had she said exactly? He looked to the ceiling with a sigh as he tried to remember.
"Sometimes people get along well and work together, sometimes they don't, sometimes there is a serial killer onboard, or sometimes passengers turn it into a game and start keeping score..."
This was not word for word what she had said but it was a fairly close summation of it.
no subject
His eyebrows were raised and he let out a bit of a snort. "Yes, well, can't discount how creatively humans can kill each other, that's true."
There was a lot of human history to support that.
"However, I'd counter that with understimating their capacity to get along when they need to." He was a humanist at heart.
"Seems strange to expect it to end in murder though."
no subject
"You don't usually hear about murders on a cruise ship. A husband trying to get rid of a wife for the insurance money, here or there, but never a whole ship going into kill mode. Maybe that's what we have to look forward to. Maybe this ship is going to twist people's minds to the point of bloodlust."
no subject
"Is that typical on a cruise ship? I haven't been on one before." Senku responded, nor did he keep up with cruise-related murder news.
"Well, I have no intention of killing anyone. Goes against everything I stand for really."
Also everyone could take him in a fight, there would be no point in attempting.
no subject
He paused for a breath while he considered the other cruise-normal type activities they often had on such vacations.
"There is a lot of drinking too much... huge drinks with fruit in them usually, eating huge desserts covered in chocolate, sunning yourself on deck to get the perfect tan... It's meant to be fun!"
And murder was decidedly not fun.
no subject
"Sounds better than a murder spree. I enjoy a good drink now and then."
He sighed. "Murder sounds like a lot of wasted time. Wonder what makes the tide shift in that direction then. From what I've seen all the amenities seem to be geared towards what you're talking about."
Unless he somehow missed a kill room of some sort.
no subject
goodstiff drink now and then."One day I'll have to tempt you into visiting one of the bars. It would be a lot more fun than playing the Hunger Games around the kiddie pool..."
Now what could turn the tide and make all this lot into a murderous band of psychos? It might be far easier than he really wanted to think about.
"A bunch of people trapped on a boat, scared, mistrusting of each other, its surprisingly easy to stir up animosity in a situation like that. Unfortunately Friday was right about that."
no subject
"I've mostly just had wine though." He admitted. "Missed out on all that fun I was supposed to be having in my twenties."
Senku's lips pulled into a smirk. "How boring. Stirring up animosity. I'm not much one for easy roads travelled."
no subject
He didn't take much pleasure in humans going around brutally murdering each other, but starting up a food fight was always good for a laugh. It didn't sound like this guy really went in for things like that however... Him not being one for playing games.
"What were you doing in your twenties that you couldn't take off a few hours for a party?"
no subject
Senku hummed a little bit. "Rebuilding civilization from the stone age to the modern age." He responded without missing a beat.
"I've done nothing but work in the years I've been ambulatory which has been about seventeen years."
no subject
Yea sorry, but that took a really long time for humans to work out and as far as Crowley knew it had no need of being rebuilt.
"That must have taken a few centuries. What caused it to need to be rebuilt?"
no subject
It was definitely the accomplishment of a lifetime.
"There was an incident in 2019 that caused all of human race on the planet to be petrified, and as a result of us being petrified for thousands of years what was civilization was completely gone, dissolved back into a natural world." He was a lot older than he looked, without a doubt.
"I have the benefit of an eidetic memory and hindsight, so going through a process that's already happened again is much quicker than discovering things as they came."
no subject
That didn't seem quite natural or the way things ought to have been. He actually might have preferred the slow pace of things. The way humans struggled out of their own mistakes and problems on their own if given enough time to work it all out.
"Sounds a lot like the end of the world. What caused everything to go all petrified forest?"
no subject
"A misguided alien AI who was granting humanity eternal life, however, it didn't understand that with the petrification we had no way of communicating, nor did it understand that civilization collapsed. They are parasitic, they were looking for a host species to do the maintenence they required for survival in exchange for eternal life."
Senku hummed thoughtfully. "If you think it through, eternal life would be nothing short of a disaster." He would like to die, in due time, after a reasonable length of life.
no subject
In those however the humans usually fought and won back their freedom. Inventive creatures that they were not even aliens could stop them! There was a certain sense of pride a demon who had looked over them from the beginning could take in that. They were a scrappy bunch.
"Eternal peace and harmony gets boring... Nothing changes, there weren't even days in the beginning, but eternal life is fine."
For him and those like him. After a moment's reflection Crowley continued.
"I don't think humans are cut out for it. You're meant to end eventually so those that come after you can craft the world they think is best."
no subject
"Think of it logically. You have billions of people already, who will age, become terribly old and frail but won't die. Humans will do as they've always done and multiply. In two generations or less, the world would be overpopulated and unsustainable. Humans are indeed, not built for eternal life." Senku said, with a shake of his head.
"No matter how romantic the idea might sound to an individual."
no subject
Which was why his head tilted to one side when it sounded like this was the beginning of some old, long standing argument.
"That's what the AI wanted but is that what your human-people back home were wanting too?"
no subject
"Hmm. Didn't give them the choice." Senku admitted. "I turned it down without consultation. I can think of a few who likely would want that kind of technology. Or did at one point or another. I know Chrome thought it sounded like a good idea until I told him what I just told you."
"Humanity knows the technology exists." He mused softly. "One day, inevitably, they'll find it. That's usually how these things go. Whether it gets misused at that point...probably. History suggests that too."
no subject
He couldn't at all actually which was why that entire sentence was said with a heavily sarcastic tone.
"Of course they will abuse it! If they actually find it... Maybe its so alien that its never rediscovered again. It wouldn't be the first time humanity discovered a new technology and then lost it. Modern humans are still trying to figure out that pyramid thing."
no subject
"Africa's deserts have become forests and savannas. It's possible, but unlikely. Probably more a matter of time." Possibly after he was long dead.
no subject
It must have taken ages for them to crumble into sand again, but something else would spring up in their place. Nothing stayed empty forever.
"With all these aliens and things, are humans actually traveling between the stars in your time?"
no subject
"So no, the aliens are far superior in terms of technology. Which is why they left, they thought we'd be more advanced to be of more use to them and we just aren't there yet. I tried to convince them to give us the chance, but I didn't win that argument." Senku shrugged helplessly.
"One of the parasites remained however, to work with me on advancing our technology."
no subject
If he didn't know better he might have thought it was the same planet or maybe even a parallel one.
"Your friend the parasite end up on this cruise too?"
no subject
"Wonder why. Too dangerous? I could only speculate."
