BOAT: WEEDS

[crittersheep]

[ You’re in a sleek, gilded reception room aboard a large and - aside from your team - empty ship. It’s full of fabulous kitchens (splattered with blood but still usable!) and ballrooms (full of instruments, all playable!) and glittering spires and stagnant-smelling but comfortable sleeping quarters. When nobody is using the intercoms to speak, a tune hums through.

Other than that, there’s thick mist surrounding everything, but your course is clear - the dissidents that are a curse to your land. You'll chase them as far as you have to, even if it awakens something even darker. What’s important is surviving.

You have a life to live. ]

Well dang, they finally remembered we're supposed to be antagonists.

"Familiar, yet unknown." Sort of like water that isn't wet.

EVENT 1

[crittersheep]

The SS CUTE ASSHOLE has begun raiding merchant ships - and not like the Prima Vista!, which you authorized to do so! Are you going to let them continue doing this?

EVENT 2

[crittersheep]

A nameless ship has seemingly summoned and controls something from the depths...this is what you feared, that these dissidents would gain power from the abyssal deep and use it to usher in a Great Silence. Already one of the other fleeing ships has been destroyed by this creature.

Do you do something about this?

CODA.

[crittersheep]

You did not catch those you pursued. You...didn't really even try, did you?

Well. That's admirable, even if it's foolish. And maybe that bribe to the nameless ship will bear fruit, later...but at least for now, you've survived. So that's really all that matters.

Return to the surface.
