A: There’s a Storm on the Horizon
A brainstorm. On advice about the ingenuity of multi person parties, and from admitted lack of understanding of many needs of organics, URSULA has selected you and a partner (or partners) to go to one of the observatories with food, beds, and recording devices to have a jam session for ideas about missions.
You are not to leave the room until you have some good ones. So get cracking! Start suggesting to one another what the base needs to do.
Or get horribly, horribly sidetracked and possibly a little crazy at being locked up together with the ocean staring at you. Judging.
B: The Abysmal Sea
You’re stranded.
One of the planet’s troublesome signal-interfering pulses has just made your communication devices 100% nonfunctional. No matter how you try to call URSULA for help, she isn’t able to respond. The database strapped to your wrist is just a useless chunk of metal now, leaving you without a useful library of knowledge to survive off. If you were driving any underwater vehicle prior to this point, it’s broken down. And unless you’re a mechanic, it’ll be pretty hard to get it jumpstarted again.
Don’t fret! The communication systems always come online eventually, so if you stay put, it’ll boot back up and give you directions straight back to base so you can finally get home. But can you really afford to stay put? The sunlight’s slowly streaming out of the sky, leaving the waters darker and darker with each passing second. Soon, you won’t be able to see five feet in front of you, and the only warning you’ll get of any approaching threat is through sound, if they even make any.
You have a few choices: take a daring risk and try swimming back to base, but on the off-chance you don’t remember the directions correctly from before you were cut off, you’re going to get even more lost, in the darkness of the night no less. Or, you could huddle in, with any friends if they were unfortunate enough to be with you, and start focusing on getting warm. Because spending the night out here in the vast oceans with the entire world against you is becoming a very, very real possibility.
C: Test Drive Test Dives
The Robotics section of the laboratory needs your help! Whether you were a poor sap who got dragged into it or love working on robots, this is your time to shine!
A few suits need testing to get the kinks out of them. And you know, figure out how they work in general. So be a dear and get in one so the others can watch you flail around and discover how it works.
If you're not into being a crash test dummy, you can help do repair work, analyze blueprints of various underwater vehicles, bring in scrap metal to work with or maybe just try painting the Seamoth neon pink.
D: Hunting Trip
The crew has been given a special mission on Mountain Island. While visiting, you were approached by Aurora survivor and fast-food worker Jenn, owner of the adorable tabby cat Glitter. She asks you to hunt a horrorsloth down for her. This particular horrorsloth has a scar across its face in the form of several cat marks which explains why Jenn wants it dead. It has a personal vendetta against Glitter and has already tried to kill her several times. Jenn has been able to heal the injuries so far but she’s worried that next time she won’t be so lucky.
So Jenn gives you anything you want from fellow survivor and Lead Programmer Naoko’s gun supplies and points you into the dangerous jungle forests where the Catkiller spends its time. Do you have what it takes to avoid poisonous tree pods and deadly Shrubbacks? Can you find your way through the dark and twisted woods? Or will you find yourselves hunted by the very creature you are trying to take out?
Do it for Glitter.
E: THE AURORA
Quiet except for the creaks and rumbles as the ship settles and shifts, the sound of Reapers screaming in the distance every so often, the Aurora is a creepy place to visit for a mission. The remains of those crew members not buried, and the belongings of many others, still litter the ship's halls. It might be nice to remove any skeletons you find.
Of course, their misfortune is your opportunity to catch up on some reading, browse whatever video games they left, get medical supplies and enjoy the comforts they no longer need.
But is it possible the Aurora is haunted? Surely not. Except sometimes you might hear voices from far away. It might just be the people you came on board with, unless they're with you. Or it might be a Cave Crawler knocking over some recording device. You're not too scared to check, right?
F: RAINY SEASON
When it rains, it pours. Rainy days tend to be the worst. Although you can go swimming in them, the intense storms of Iniidae stir up shallower waters making them murky and difficult to see through. And what if lightning hit? No one wants the first death to be lightning. Are you going to risk that? Probably. If you do, take care of yourself and bring a buddy!
But if you're the type to hole up in a storm, either by choice or because you were unlucky enough to be out in it, now is a good chance to get creative with your use of time! Maybe a game of charades will brighten up the rainy day? If you're on the base it might be extra crowded today so get to know your neighbors! If you're on an island, you could build a mud castle! Just don't go stircrazy.
F
Pictionary? Is there a prize?
no subject
[He hadn't thought of that! He thought the entire point of these games was just winning and knowing you were the best! Oh no!]
A prize....
Yes! There is a fabulous secret prize! So play! You can be the head of the other team. That way we'll be fair and even.
no subject
[ Loki gives Freyr a highly dubious look. There's a 99.9999% chance that Loki will have no need or taste for whatever prize Freyr has imagined up. But for some reason, he can't will himself to walk away. Possibly because, in truth, Loki doesn't have anything better to do. ]
Fine, but only for one round.
[ He moves to stand by Freyr. But not too close. It's a perfectly crafted distance that screams, "I guess I'm with this guy." ]
no subject
[It was a fabulous one of a kind everyone would fight each other to get amazing prize! And he would decide on what to do when he had to do it. Probably a drawing or something. Or maybe a song? It would be the gift of a god so it would definitely be a good prize!]
Since Freyr is of course the best at this, you should pick the topic as an appropriate handicap.
no subject
Okay. Food. [ That should be safe? ] You can go first.
no subject
[But what to draw? There were so many different kinds of food. Japanese? Italian? American? His favorite food? A popular food? Maybe he should pick an easy to identify food? Though it was just him and Loki, exactly how was he planning on playing this game again? Did he know the actual rules of play? It was anyones guess.
Either way he started scribbling on some paper. Was it food? It looked like bad blobs of wiggly squares circles and lines.]
A masterpiece!
no subject
When Freyr makes his proclamation, apparently finished, Loki smacks the paper. ]
What is this?!
no subject
[Maybe, if one were to look really hard, they might think it was suppose to be maguro sushi. Though one would have to try very hard.]
But how can you not see what it obviously is? It is a wonderful example of Japanese cuisine!
no subject
[ He slowly leans in for a closer look at the drawing and squints. Turns it upside-down and sideways. Holds it up against the light. ]
Okonomiyaki...?
[ There are certainly enough anarchic squiggles and a vaguely rounded shape for it. ]
no subject
Of course not! How can you not tell? Freyr did his best to draw that! It is a type of sushi! Freyr isn't going to give anymore hints!
no subject
Ahh, geez! Saba! Aji! Uni! Kurage! Hamachi!
no subject
no subject
I'll show you definitive...
[ And crumples the paper up into a vaguely triangular shape. He holds it up with finality and looks expectantly at Freyr. Guess what it is. ]
no subject
[Onigiri was triangular.]
1/2
no subject
[ Sharply, he spikes the ball to the floor. ]
no subject
[He flails around for a bit before stopping and staring down at the crumpled paper.]
You shouldn't litter. Ursula chan will be hurt. It's also wrong.
no subject
[ He stares down at the paper ball along with Freyr for a long moment. ... Then he stoops to pick it up.
Littering really is wrong. He'd feel bad if he left trash on the floor. Kids, think of the environment.
--But wait, didn't Freyr acknowledge that his drawing is trash?... ]
Are we done yet?
no subject
He was long since distracted by that line of thought though.
But... now what? It was boring and still storming out....]
The storm isn't over yet though. Freyr wants to play! It's boring!
no subject
[ A huff. ]
If you're in a drawing mood, you should use your art to do something productive for the base.
[ Loki does not actually believe anything productive will come of it, but anything to keep Freyr occupied. ]
no subject
That is a good idea! We should definitely help improve the base!
[Why we?]
Freyr will draw a beautiful mural! It should be of Freya and her marvelous cats!
no subject
Yes, yes. Knock yourself out.
[ He waves Freyr away in a gentle gesture of you can leave me alone now. Having seen Freyr's art firsthand, he isn't so sure that the mural will be an improvement, but it'll be... something. ]
There are paints in the library. I'm not sure if they'll last for an entire mural, though. How big are you planning on making it?
no subject
Down the length of a hallway. It will start with the cats, and then the chariot, and her and her golden hair trailing behind majestically!
But without her here... Freyr needs a model to fill in.
no subject
[ he manages to say with a completely straight face ]
no subject
You're the one who can turn into anyone, why don't you do something like that.
[But he cuts in before giving Loki a chance to even reply to that.]
Wait! No! Don't defile her image by impersonating her!
