BOAT: WEEDS

[ 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. ]

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.

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

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

We're not 'antagonists!' We're just... acting in the nature of 'karma'.

Antagonism sounds more fun.

...Within reason.

[this girl was hiding from the monster fighting in the room before right she's safe to just be a normal asshole with and won't want to murder anyone right]

All right... so I guess we don't want to outright kill anyone?

Who do you hate, who do you like? I'm partial to Clover and Rose. Lily is my unfavorite.

Killing's off the table, fucking with 'em isn't.

Rose, Bluebell and Daffodil are the ones I care about. Peony too but looks like they missed it. I don't really hate anyone but I'm down to screw with Lily--

Ah. They're not here either.

Exactly: that was a test.

...Well, it's probably better we don't mess with anyone anyway. Sometimes that gets back to them.

What's your name, by the way?
