Onyx Flamingo Posted January 5 Posted January 5 6 minutes ago, Sapphire Elephant said: "Death has an Honorblade?" Klin asked, confused. "I'm selling Kalak's Honorblade for 400 boxings," Klin chimed. "Kalaks..." Frisk seems to be thinking deeply then pops up, and says, "Oh! Like those swords from Roshar that let you fly?" Frisk then pauses before continuing, "But I was more thinking about wha'ts happening with the ship, and how there was an... uprising? Mutiny? Something?"
Violet Axolotl Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Fletcher walks back to his room, a bit overwhelmed by all the conversation. He sees someone trying to sell anything and everything. It reminds him of the old scadrial marketplace. Fletcher frowns. Old scadrial marketplace? He shakes his head.

Very bad for business, those pirates."

No, the Dragonfly has done Nothing to Earn Their Trust, but Three Votes, all In A Row? Let us Observe the Patterns. There have been Those Who Point Fingers Unprompted in Random Directions: Taupe Gecko (Hearth) on My Great Personage, Scarlet Octopus (Chiji) on Salmon Meerkat, Sunburst Toucan (Ophelia) on Sapphire Elephant, Ivory Dragonfly (Echo) on Scarlet Octopus, Indigo Weasel (Third) on Salmon Meerkat, and Saffron Iguana (Arnold) on Sage Kangaroo. People who, Without Any Further Reasoning, Join said Fingers, Which I Perceive as Opportunistic and Vulture-Like Behavior (Much like Our Departed Captain, Yes. She and I Unfortunately Did Not Get Along. The Gall of Trying to Bar Adolnasium Storming Reborn from the Bridge! She is Most Fortunate I Chose to Walk Away): Sage Kangaroo (Isabel), on Myself, then later the fourth vote on Dragonfly. Magenta Albatross (Rane), on Meerkat. Salmon Meerkat (Dugh), on Dragonfly, Although there Has been some Aspersions cast on Dragonfly, It was Octopus' Grievance, not Theirs. Violet Axolotl (Fletcher), on Kangaroo. Quartz Zebra (Finch), on Myself. There are Some of the Crew who yet Lurk without Speaking. Sapphire Elephant (Klin), Plum Rhinoceros (Art), Pearl Chameleon (Neugier), Oxblood Beagle (Levin), Opal Lion (Dusk), Onyx Flamingo (Frisk), and Mint Heron (Zense), a full Seven out of Our Twenty. Speak. Now I could Descend Into Pettiness and Point a Godly Finger at Gecko (Hearth) or Zebra (Finch) for their Impertinence in Questioning Adolnasium Storming Reborn, but I Restrain Myself to merely Ask: Art Thee Satisfied That I am Present and Speaking? Or Art Ye Stubborn Hounds who Refuse to Drop a Rotting Bone? No, The One who will Bear the Weight of my Vote shall be the Salmon'd Meerkat for their Role in Instigating the Pile. @Salmon Meerkat - Your Reasons for Voting Dragonfly, If You Please? Frisk feels a sudden sense of Deja-Vu, and for some reason, remembers his name being called out. Frisk kindly informs this 'Adonalsium' that he was... asleep, and it is deeply unfortunate the circumstances that led to him sleeping for so long. 2 minutes ago, Sapphire Elephant said: "Yeah, but this one's no good for flying." Klin scowled. "Some folks are trying to sabotage the ship. I think they were bribed the Koloss-Blooded pirates. Very bad for business, those pirates." Frisk seems to remember something. "Pirates? Strange... Well, glad meeting you. Sadly, I have nothing to trade."
Sapphire Elephant Posted January 5 Posted January 5 3 hours ago, Salmon Meerkat said: It was mainly a poke vote, and I didn't know that there was a train forming. I'm always suspicious of those who join trains on C1, and (Ivory Dragonfly) Sage Kangaroo didn't seem to have a lot of reason for their vote. --------------------------- Dugh was angry. How could everyone be so wrong? He wasn't sure about Echo, but so many others did. Those idiots! Couldn't they see that they could be wrong? "Morons" he muttered. "I'm the only one who understands." Klin looked at this more closely. Dugh seemed a little too willing to change votes. 3 minutes ago, Onyx Flamingo said: Frisk feels a sudden sense of Deja-Vu, and for some reason, remembers his name being called out.

Salmon Meerkat Posted January 5 Posted January 5 2 hours ago, Saffron Iguana said: Why are you always suspicious of people that join trains on C1? It seems less messy than having votes scattered everywhere, and could force the elims to stick out where we can clean them up. Poor wording on my part. I mean that I think that trains on C1, especially (but not exclusively) if they form from "poke votes." Really I think that we should just be wary of extensive trains, if that makes sense. ------ Dugh was angry. How could these people be so wrong about what Duhg had said? That was right. They were wrong.
Oxblood Beagle Posted January 5 Posted January 5 After Levin exited his room, he found several other passengers discussing in small groups in different corners of the ship. There were murmurs of saboteurs who had more malicious motives and had premeditated the events that they were facing now. Some passengers seemed to be eager to point fingers already and he tried to figure out which accusations were serious and which were not, but it seemed a difficult endeavor to do so. It reminded him of a particular memory of arriving at a play midway and struggling to comprehend what was going on. It would be delightful if someone could help illuminate their opinions on the matters that had previously been discussed. Levin wanted to find a companion in their plight of being lost in the ongoing discourse. There was a merchant trying to sell wares and an arrogant man being frustrated with being misunderstood, but he decided to catch up with the man who was walking back to his room. He seemed equally a little overwhelmed with what was going on. "Violet Axolotl, could I ask for your thoughts on what's occurred on this ship thus far?" he kindly asked. Perhaps together they could hope to understand things and perhaps be a step closer to finding the elusive saboteurs.

Mint Heron Posted January 5 Posted January 5 "Zense!" The second lieutenant called. 'Twas Maddens on duty today. Probably wasn't his real name, but Zense called him 'Maddens' because he was maddening in his scrulpousness, to the detriment of the pursuit of Art(TM.) Probably had something petty in mind again, whether it was asking Zense to go play some music to entertain the fools down on the Fourth Engineering deck—personally, Zense had taken a particular dislike to Fourth Engineering; they had no taste in music whatsoever and often asked him to play the rudest, most bawdy songs in his repertoire, the sort of crem you'd find in the tavernas and cantinas of Old Roshar where the veterans lurked. Rusting ship, Zense thought. No appreciation for art at all. Join the SS Tyrian, they said, get paid and get free meals and lodging they said, and all you had to do was play music they said, except half the storming ship had no appreciation for his art whatsoever and the other half (he included Maddens and the steward from the Cargo Deck in it) seemed wont to get in his face and squander his time on general suspicion of itinerant musicians. "Zense!" Maddens called. Zense plucked at the strings on his baliset, trying to get them into tune. There was something, just something, that wasn't particularly right about the ninth string; the note jarred to his trained ear, and he adjusted it, bit by bit. Would've been easier if he had enough Breath to acquire perfect pitch, but the universe wasn't kind to an itinerant musician, and the Art(TM) didn't abide shortcuts. "Harmony damn it, Zense!" Maddens finally found him. Hands on his hips, Maddens glowered down at him. "God Beyond help me, I swear you think your job is to sit there plucking that thing on your own without actually doing any work on the ship." Zense didn't pause in his adjustments. "I am hired to grace this ship with my art—" "Yeah, well, we need you on Passenger Deck 3A," Maddens informed him. "Urgently. The captain has been murdered and we fear the passengers are planning to take matters into their own hands." Zense stared at him. "Zense," Maddens began, exasperated. "So what, exactly, do you want me to do about it?" Zense asked, picking out a simple tune. "I am but a humble musician, the SS Tyrian's greatest gift—" "—Play them some damn music!" Maddens snapped. "Anything, Zense! Something simple, something calming, rust it, play them a rusting shepherd's lullaby from Shinovar for all the dreks I give, just go play to them so they don't turn into a mob and murder half the rusting ship!" Zense sighed. Simple it was. There were rustic songs from the cabins of Threnody; hushed, lulled affairs written in fear of the shadows. Buccolic shepherd's songs from Shinovar. Simple offering songs from Nalthis, honouring the day's catch, thanking the gods. An austere Austrean chant from the mountains of the same world. All of them simple. An actual insult to his God-given talent. This storming ship. Absolutely no respect for Art(TM) or the constraints he was forced to labour under, or the stupidity he was forced to deal with on a daily basis. "Fine, Maddens," he ground out. He supposed if Maddens was this tight about it, something was wrong. Maybe they really would murder half the storming ship after all. "I'm going."

Melon Dingo Posted January 5 Posted January 5 9 hours ago, Saffron Iguana said: Johnson glared at the dog hairs stuck to his uniform, and then glared again at the corridor he'd just walked down. Last, he turned and glared at Stormseeker. "Well, I propose we throw the canine out. Just look at this mess. Dog hair spreads like the plague, except it just keeps accumulating everywhere." Johnson rummaged in his pack for a second before revealing a vial of clear liquid. "Fortunately for everyone I have some solvent here. Liquifies just about anything organic." Johnson unsealed the vial, which gave off a distinctly caustic odor, then deftly pulled a dropper from a pocket and deposited some of the liquid onto the hair on his uniform. True to his word, the hairs vanished, though to most of the onlookers surprise, the uniform itself was undamaged. Johnson noticed some of the odd looks he was getting, glanced down at the drop on his clothes, and smiled. "Ah, yes. My uniform is special issue, meeting all Personal Protective Equipment standards for the Scadrian Fleet, the Scadrian Chemical Society, and the Scadrian Academy of Nuclear Engineering. It's good against anything but blunt force trauma." "Now, if you'll excuse me. I doubt you all want piranha fluid spread throughout the corridor, so I'll grab a vacuum to consolidate this mess and dispose of it in a more orderly manner." "Oh, and Isabel?

Though longest gap between posts was 4 hours. 3 hours between previous post (vote on Kangaroo) and asking what's going on. Thats not a long time to lose track of what's going on... additionally was very active in RP especially discussing with Kangaroo. Had no vote on anyone. Kangaroo had no game related posts during this time and immediately after Iguana voted Kangaroo for a poke Axolotl followed. Taupe Gecko: not around until C2 it sounds like Sunburst Toucan: Scarlet Octopus: Sapphire Elephant: Salmon Meerkat: Sage Kangaroo: jumped on early votes. Seems to be hopping on bandwagons. One Interesting thing though is Kangaroo, responding to Octopus, said they were suspicious (kind of) of Dragonfly when only Weasel was voting on them. Then Meerkat/Octopus voted together and Kangaroo followed. Saffron Iguana: hates dogs so obviously evil. More seriously 1 game post asking Meerkat why theyre suspicious of trains on D1. Vote on Kangaroo seems to be a poke. But hasnt moved it or given reason why they are keeping it. @Saffron Iguana are you suspicious of Kangaroo? Quartz Zebra: only RP so far with a vote on Crocodile for "weird shoes" Plum Rhinoceros: Pearl Chameleon: Oxblood Beagle: mostly RP. Vote on Axolotl seems like a poke mostly Opal Lion: Onyx Flamingo: talking about how they just woke up and RP. Most recent post asking for help catching up. @Onyx Flamingo mostly RP and poke votes though the Dragonfly train has been/is being talked about a lot Mint Heron: first to do traditional analysis. Holding people accountable to what they say Mauve Crocodile: I think the first to start breaking down voting patterns. Easy not to do in such an rp heavy game. Also i love the capitalizing words in your rp Magenta Albatross: Ivory Dragonfly: first vote was a little weird, seemingly voting on Octopus for poke voting Meerkat despite Dragonfly already poke voting Zebra. It looks like they are working to have their posts be poems? I didnt see what Echo does so I assume its a custom cosmetic so maybe they have to copy other peoples' words? Anyways they have quite a few games related posts but I am having a bit of a challenge deciphering them. Indigo Weasel: first vote on Dragonfly. Looks like a poke. Later says it was a poke. Is in thread rn maybe they'll say their new thoughts Im not done but im getting pretty tired and have been doing this for a while now. Will continue tomorrow.

Taupe Gecko: not around until C2 it sounds like Sunburst Toucan: Scarlet Octopus: Sapphire Elephant: Salmon Meerkat: Sage Kangaroo: jumped on early votes. Seems to be hopping on bandwagons. One Interesting thing though is Kangaroo, responding to Octopus, said they were suspicious (kind of) of Dragonfly when only Weasel was voting on them. Then Meerkat/Octopus voted together and Kangaroo followed. Saffron Iguana: hates dogs so obviously evil. More seriously 1 game post asking Meerkat why theyre suspicious of trains on D1. Vote on Kangaroo seems to be a poke. But hasnt moved it or given reason why they are keeping it. @Saffron Iguana are you suspicious of Kangaroo? Quartz Zebra: only RP so far with a vote on Crocodile for "weird shoes" Plum Rhinoceros: Pearl Chameleon: Oxblood Beagle: mostly RP. Vote on Axolotl seems like a poke mostly Opal Lion: Onyx Flamingo: talking about how they just woke up and RP. Most recent post asking for help catching up. @Onyx Flamingo mostly RP and poke votes though the Dragonfly train has been/is being talked about a lot Mint Heron: first to do traditional analysis. Holding people accountable to what they say Mauve Crocodile: I think the first to start breaking down voting patterns. Easy not to do in such an rp heavy game. Also i love the capitalizing words in your rp Magenta Albatross: Ivory Dragonfly: first vote was a little weird, seemingly voting on Octopus for poke voting Meerkat despite Dragonfly already poke voting Zebra. It looks like they are working to have their posts be poems? I didnt see what Echo does so I assume its a custom cosmetic so maybe they have to copy other peoples' words? Anyways they have quite a few games related posts but I am having a bit of a challenge deciphering them. Indigo Weasel: first vote on Dragonfly. Looks like a poke. Later says it was a poke. Is in thread rn maybe they'll say their new thoughts Im not done but im getting pretty tired and have been doing this for a while now. Will continue tomorrow. Right now im most suspicious of Axolotl Violet Axolotl "Don't worry!" Klin said, pulling out another piece of paper. "I have more. 5 boxings each."

[zebra claims to have pressure voted croc then doesn't like croc's response feeling it's a bit too defensive. not enough brain, want to finish thread.] what, directly is ur conclusion. how do u feel about violet axl (ok honestly cannot make it further through thread, will come back later.) becuz RNG lol anyone can poke vote so why not RNG Spoiler also at that point in time I thought the game was RP only Hmm, I'm liking Mint Heron's anaylsis, and I have a few ideas of who they are, tentative v-lean Croc looks like they're breaking down votes, which is good and generally a v/indicative (elims like fog of war ). Also W RP. Keep going with it. Kangaroo posted a vote count first, same philosophy as above. Tentative v-lean looks like nah I got nothing yet I gtg rn, but imma come back later and finish doing this more in depth Edited January 5 by Magenta Albatross

Oxblood Beagle Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Levin tried to catch up with Violet Axolotl, but he was a little too late and the man had already retired to his quarters. The Axolotl's real name was Fletcher, but Levin had always been bad at remembering names. He found it easier to ascribe the identities of the passengers with the animals they reminded him of and so, that was what was he was most likely to do going forward. Since he wasn't able to gather information together with Axolotl, Levin decided to do his own investigation on the matter. He approached the crew of the ship and asked them of the discussion that had transpired while he was asleep. While the crew was busy explaining, he also casually swiped a register of the passengers aboard the SS TYRIAN to have a clearer picture of who could be involved. He guessed that perhaps there were 4 or 5 saboteurs involved in this ploy. The crew were busy with ensuring that the ship was functioning well, so he was a little uncertain if the information that he gathered was accurate, but he tried to summarize the events that had occurred thus far. The initial stir caused a lot of panic among the passengers and so, plenty of random accusations or requests to speak up were thrown around. Among those who sustained this accusation were the Gecko, Toucan, Weasel, Iguana, Axolotl, Albatross, Heron and himself, the Beagle. Some had made more pointed accusations like the Dragonfly, who believed one of the Octopus' statement to be suspicious. Dragonfly had started out with a random accusation and the sudden switch to a more pointed one drew the suspicion of the Octopus, and Kangaroo. Of the two, it seemed like the Octopus had explained their thought process well, though Levin did not necessarily agree with it. Meanwhile, Kangaroo shared some suspicion on Dragonfly with Octopus, but only fully accused them after Octopus had done so. Due to this, Meerkat became suspicious of the Kangaroo. Later on, some of Meerkat's actions caused some of the passengers to question his motives. The Crocodile demanded an explanation from them because he thought the Meerkat was responsible for instigating the accusations on the Dragonfly. On the other hand, the Elephant found the Meerkat to be too willing to change their tune. There was also the Zebra, who found the Crocodile distrustful. It was difficult for Levin to figure out whether this accusation was serious and if it was, the reasoning behind it. There was also the Dingo who chimed in with their suspicion on the Axolotl for both being eager to jump on early in accusing others of being saboteurs and seemingly being confused of what was going on in the ship despite being an active participant. Finally, there was the Flamingo, who seemed lost in the conversation and hadn't participated in either accusing or defending anyone. Levin noted that there were yet others who had not joined the conversation. Perhaps they were still in their cabins? These passengers were the Rhinoceros, Lion, and Chameleon. There was a lot that Levin had learned from the accounts of the crew. His initial thoughts were that he had a little trust towards the passengers who seemed to be genuinely trying to contribute to find the saboteurs, which were the Crocodile, Heron, and Dingo. He also felt like the Dragonfly and Octopus were innocent. On the other hand, he felt a little suspicion towards a few passengers like the Kangaroo, Axolotl, and Elephant. To Levin, it felt like Kangaroo's accusation was a bit opportunistic and he wanted to hear more of the Kangaroo's voice in their reasoning. He agreed with the Dingo that the Axolotl was a little suspicious for being an active participant in the conversations, yet they acted like they were lost. Finally, he was confused with the Elephant's position. He had mentioned that he thought the Dragonfly was innocent and was merely trying to help. The Dragonfly had been accused for a sudden change in accusations and yet, he had been eager to find suspicion on the Meerkat for a similar reason. As such, Levin wanted to clarify this matter with the Sapphire Elephant.

That’s a whole lot of 'thee' and 'thou' just to say your feelin's are hurt. You call it 'impertinence,' but in the engine room, we call it calibration. I poked ya to see if you’d hum like a balanced turbine, but instead, you went and rattled like a bucket of rusty nails fallin' down a stairwell." You tell us to speak, then call us 'hounds' when we do I'll note that Zebra is actually hiding analysis/game-related stuff in RP: this post explicitly mentions that the Crocodile vote was a pressure test and he didn't like Croc's response. It does give me certain vibes which are slightly making me positive about Crocodile but this kinda requires Crocodile to be a certain player, I've never been good at reading this player, and most importantly I'm resolving to try to fly more or less blind on this one so i dgaf ig. @Quartz Zebra fwiw care to throw a bit more of a bone on what you're referring to? i can get the rough outline of what ur sayin but would like a better sense if at all possible 14 hours ago, Sapphire Elephant said: Klin thought that this logic was rather sound, but he thought that the real saboteurs would try to not draw any attention. where do u got ur eyes on in this case? i think this is a fair question to ask if also a bit strange & idk if im too charitable to meerkat or too uncharitable to iggy in that i feel the obv shout here is...bandwagoning/opportunistic voting? but also true that meerkat did not frame it as being a bandwagoning/opportunistic voting concern 13 hours ago, Onyx Flamingo said: Frisk goes up to the nearest person, asking what has happened while they were asleep. not first time flamingo asks for catch-up im a bit...eh b/c there's not v much to catch up on at this point and i myself am plodding through the day to try. 11 hours ago, Ivory Dragonfly said: It felt like he was A leader Quite far from Something was amiss Should not expect Panic df, understand ur gimmick, can u help me out here? trying to parse what u r saying: u think weasel is a vote leader and panicking or? "Hey!" someone called to him, as he exited the lifts to Passenger Deck 3A. Practically accosted him at the deck entrance. "I'm selling Kalak's Honorblade for a mere 400 boxings!" Zense swept past the man. He had better things to do than idle with trivialities. There was music, however a mockery of his Art(TM) to be played, or Maddens would give him no end of a tongue-lashing. Passengers scurried about the deck, pointing fingers at each other. Murmuring about what the captain's death portended. Something to do about...pirates? Raiders? Zense scoffed. Nothing worse; those would know absolutely nothing about the great art either. "Where've you been?" The deck steward scowled. "We've been calling for you for at least half a day!" "Nonsense," Zense replied. "Art(TM) takes time, you can't rush an artist—" The deck steward pointed him to a small alcove near a very nice viewscreen. The sort of thing Zense would've liked to study for days, to see if he could manage a composition that was capable of capturing that view of interplanetary space. "Enough, Rosharan, just start playing!" Zense fixed him with an affronted glare. "I am not from storming Roshar," he informed the deck steward. "I am an artist, my world's boundaries lie only about my heart." "Harmony help us, Rosharan!" Zense stared at him for a few heartbeats longer, hoping to fix the intensity of the man's offence into what passed for his brain. Alas, that did not particularly seem to have effect. He sat down at the alcove, spreading open his sheet music. Simple music it was. Simple, affrontingly simple. A sheer insult to his genius and his Art(TM.) The inhumanity he had to endure. Undoing the cover and pulling free his baliset, Zense began to play.
