Resolutions? Jeez, I don't know...

Does getting out of Rapture count?

Rapture?

corpsecakes December 29 2011, 08:43:01 UTC

Uh. [He forgot people could reply to these things, damnit.] It's...a city. Before I ended up here, I was stuck there.

oneminutemaze December 30 2011, 02:18:13 UTC

Is getting stuck in strange cities a habit of yours?

corpsecakes December 30 2011, 02:58:04 UTC

No, it just...happened. [He's not sure if he should really be explaining this, but...] I was on this plane, and it crashed, and... Well, there I was.

oneminutemaze December 30 2011, 03:41:35 UTC

[ Fffff-- ] Were you okay?

corpsecakes December 30 2011, 03:54:55 UTC

Yeah, somehow... I don't really know how, but I was fine.

[He pauses then, glancing down.]

Everyone else, though... I don't think anyone else survived. [Even if they had, no one else had followed him into that lighthouse. There was no way they could have survived in the open North Atlantic...could they?]

oneminutemaze January 1 2012, 03:48:39 UTC

Maybe they got into the city, too.

[ It's meant to be reassuring, but if his goal is to get out of that city in the first place... ]

corpsecakes January 1 2012, 04:21:05 UTC

No... [He shakes his head.] No, that would've been impossible. There was only one way into that city, and I was the only one who took it.

oneminutemaze January 1 2012, 05:11:44 UTC

Are you sure?

corpsecakes January 1 2012, 05:23:18 UTC

Absolutely sure. The door locked behind me, and... [He's really not doing a very good job of beating around the bush, is he?] And there was only one way down.

oneminutemaze January 1 2012, 06:22:40 UTC

[ No, not really. ]

Down?

corpsecakes January 1 2012, 06:27:38 UTC

[Jack isn't entirely sure why he's even trying, really. Is it to keep other people from looking for it and possibly being trapped there as well, or is it simply because he doesn't know if anyone would actually believe him?]

Yeah... Down. [He pauses.] Under the ocean.

oneminutemaze January 1 2012, 06:28:55 UTC

[ If he wanted to get out, it can't have been great. And yet... under the ocean. A city under the ocean, and the architect in her visibly lights up. ]

Really?

corpsecakes January 1 2012, 06:48:46 UTC

Really. I found this thing, uh...a bathysphere, that took me down there... But it couldn't take me back up. So I was trapped.

oneminutemaze January 1 2012, 23:35:33 UTC

Why couldn't it take you back up?

corpsecakes January 2 2012, 04:09:48 UTC

I didn't know how to operate it. It just...piloted itself, I guess, and I didn't know how to make it go back up. There was someone else down there, he had another way out, but...

[When he trails off this time, there's a longer pause than before.]

It didn't work out.
