[Open July Log]
Who: Deputy Pratt and YOU!
What: Pratt got his first regain and it's a doozy. Also still has no idea he's just telling the truth all the time.
Where: Buffet, Laundromat, around the Deck
When: Throughout July
Warnings: Standard Pratt warnings apply (cannibalism, murder, starvation, cults, etc) but now with Jacob warnings too! (Brainwashing, torture, skinning people). Important!! There's a very real chance he'll attack anyone who talks to him in the third prompt on the deck, so be aware.
Pratt got a notice that he had an item at the Sundries shop and was kind of stoked about it. Sweet, first present from back home. He swings by on his way to third breakfast, but as soon as he picks the thing up there's that sudden pang of trepidation. It's a rectangular box, looks pretty normal and what's in it is pretty obviously clothing from the weight and the sound it makes when he shakes it but.....
Oh that's interesting. Go ahead Peaches, open it.
1. Buffet
He doesn't open it. Not right then anyway, instead he takes it with him to the buffet grabbing himself some grub to fortify him against the growing dread seeping into the pit of his stomach. However; mashed potatoes can only do so much, and eventually he does, actually have to open it and see what it is.
You already know what it is.
Sliding his fingers through the tape on the box he lifts the lid off and stares. The look on his face almost like he might have just unboxed a human head, but it's just a jacket. An Army jacket with the name J. Seed on the chest. A plain, normal jacket that he recoils from so violently he spills his soda everywhere along with the remains of a bowl of pasta as he almost falls on the ground in his haste to get away.
Weird reaction since other than the fact the jacket reeks of blood and human entrails, it doesn't seem that bad?
2. Laundromat
As soon as he recovers from his shock at what's in the box, he grabs the jacket and fucking bolts out of the buffet to the one place he knows no one goes that often: the Laundromat. He stands in the middle of the room, amber lights flickering, signs cheerfully reminding him to balance his load, holding the jacket in both hands and looking right on the verge of either crying or punching something.
Go ahead then, put it on.
"Shut up!" It's not clear who he's talking to since he's in there alone, but then he suddenly throws the jacket at the wall, not very effective since the heavy canvas just flutters to the ground in a heap.
He stands there watching it, eyeing it like it might be a rabid dog waiting to attack him.
Eventually he does pick it back up, rubbing his fingers along the bloodstains, the holes around frayed patches on the sleeves. Standing there in the laundromat about to have a full on panic attack over a jacket.
3. The Deck
Pratt should have taken the time that he was in the laundry room to actually wash this new item of clothing that smells like it's been in a slaughterhouse for years. Because it has been. Unfortunately Pratt didn't think about it. And is now not thinking about anything because he is just... walking in circles around the deck.
Wearing his new 'gift' from back home he's been walking the length of the ship and back for probably hours now. The way he moves, his stance, is different than his normal 'cop on duty' pose he usually has, but it's pretty obvious this is some sort of a patrol. What for, and why, is anyone's guess.
4. End of the Month Wildcard
Well, Pratt has stabbed and been stabbed, and eventually got himself murdered. Apparently that's what he needed to put the pause on his spiraling breakdown. Sure he's still wearing the jacket, but he washed it. Several times.
Pratt is trying to reintegrate into society and aggressively pretend he's not a traumatized psychopath that could snap at any moment.
As always he can be found at the Buffet or the Dining Room since this guy is practically always eating. He's also hanging out near the Pool with comically large glasses of shaved ice. He doesn't look like he belongs at the pool since he's still wearing his police boots, the army jacket and pants. But look, he's trying. The shirt has an oversized foliage print, that counts right?

"Like 75 people my best guess?"
no subject
"Something vaguely along that is my guess as well." César hmms. "I'm surprised he didn't pick a smaller boat. This boat could easily hold a lot more passengers than it has."
no subject
"Maybe he's still stocking up? Universe shopping until he finds things he likes and then teleports them here. Or... well whatever he's doing to get us here." Pratt for sure isn't teleported because then he'd be some bones that were loosely connected.
Oh man is that what happened to Skulduggery? He's glad he came later after the Captain perfected his technique.
"Or maybe he'll use the ship being super big against us somehow? Like trapping us on different levels or whatever. I dunno."
no subject
"I do think we're still early in the process, yes." César rubs his goatee, looking to the side a bit. "... Maybe it's like a muscle? Maintain too little and you'll lose it?"
no subject
"Gotta keep practicing his kidnapping technique? That is extremely creepy. Like.. makes sense. But still. Ick."
no subject
César wrinkles his nose. "Oh, I didn't think about that, too... Ick is right! I meant maintaining a boat and the surrounding area of this size."
no subject
Maybe the guy just really likes cruises or something.
no subject
"You can't have a cruise ship without an ocean, and it keeps us on the boat." César shrugs. "Honestly, being a god is too much work. Why would he even want that?"
no subject
no subject
"You're right. There's no point in being above everyone. You just end up alone." It's spoken with conviction, an internal debate already concluded. "I'm starting to wonder if the Captain thinks he brought us for one purpose but actually brought us for another."
no subject
Pratt has no idea that he isn't actually captaining the ship.
oh this thread is two months old oh dear LOL
... Is someone terrified of the Captain, and does the Captain remind him of his terrible boss from back home? Yes and yes.
no subject
Which makes him a lot of steps up from Pratt's last boss. "Can't hurt to just ask right?"
no subject
Ever get the idea he might not like confrontation? ... also what the fuck. Pratt?
no subject
"Did he miss intentionally or you got a good dodge reflex?"
no subject

no subject
He wrinkles his nose. "The second worst part after all the shock war off... I know how he can do it from a scientific point of view. But he used magic instead.
