Chapter 1: Freshwater and Giant Spider

He hate this island - no, hate is too soft of a word. He loath this island.  

Every nook and cranny seems to harbor a new threat. How many times has he told Blaster not to touch anything? How many times has he heard the boy complain after injuring himself handling the treacherous vegetation? Honestly, Nemo has stopped counting.

His bare feet are clogged with mud, and  itchy leaves cling to them, loosening their grip only for a few moments of peace. As for the nettles, they seem to have taken a particular liking to him, their incessant stings burning his ankles for hours. They're not about to leave this cursed spot, let alone find drinking water. A lake, a pond, something! How can an island be so arid?

Humility walks beside them, watching over the child with almost maternal vigilance, which deeply annoys both men. She goes on and on about her passion for discovering new species and her desire to be, once again, superior to the others. But neither Nemo nor Blaster find the energy to ask her to keep quiet. It's not them, but fate that finally silences her, as she suddenly rolls down a hill that's a little too steep. But what comes next is not the expected sound of falling on hard ground, no, it's the sound of splashing water, mingling with the song of cicadas and the murmur of wind-blown branches. 

Water. And too far from the sea to be salty - it has to be fresh water.

The next moment, Blaster, having glanced back to where Humility had fallen, almost exclaims with joy. Without hesitation, he launches himself after her, skillfully avoiding both ground and plants to plunge straight into the lake. The depth of the water is revealed when it takes him several seconds to surface. “Nemo! Fresh water! We can take it back to the Nautilus!” The interested party nods. Of course, he's delighted by this discovery, but he has to remain realistic: they'll still have to find the time and strength to carry enough water to last a month, maybe two, at most.

The lake is isolated, far from the beach, but Nemo knows that with careful organization, he can mobilize his crew to form an effective human chain. By optimizing everyone's efforts, he's almost convinced they can get enough fresh water to the submarine and ration the Nautilus in less than a day.

He continues walking, plotting the most direct route to the lake on foot. Once there, he's sure that with twelve men, the human chain to transport the water will be both competent and fast, provided everyone pitches in. By placing the company's traitor between Kai and Jiacomo, he hopes their presence will be enough to dissuade him from any sabotage attempts. With any luck, this strategy will secure the water supply without incident and-

“What are you pondering about?” Humility interrupts him in his musings, and Nemo shakes his head to refocus.

“To efficiently organize the rationing of the Nautilus. With twelve men, we should be able to supply ourselves with water in a day.”

“Provided we don't start now, right?” 

Nemo is well aware of reality, and he doesn't need to be reminded. The sun is already beginning to set, and by the time they return to the beach, it may be dark. He sits down against a fallen tree to clean his feet, trying not to scratch the hives covering his ankles from the nettles.

Hi, guys. I try to keep my personal life off of here for the most part, but my partner and I have experienced a pretty bad blow, and I don't know what else to do. On Friday a private yacht backed into our sailboat, the Nautilus, with enough force to move the concrete dock we were tied to. The main mast was snapped in half, and we're still waiting to learn how bad the damage to the hull is.

We've worked on the Nautilus for years now as her crew, and this spring we put every cent we've been able to save over the last decade into buying her. All of our time has gone into sailing and maintaining her, and running our charter business - and now she's out of commission for the foreseeable future. Insurance will hopefully help, but we don't know anything concrete yet. The best case scenario is that with 8-9 months of work, we can have Nautilus sailing again by next summer - but in the meantime we still have the vessel's loan payments, and our own living expenses, and no source of income, let alone the repairs we'll need to begin sooner rather than later if we can hope to get her seaworthy by next summer.

I know things are hard for everyone right now, and I know we are incredibly lucky no one was hurt. One way or another Crow and I will get through this, and be okay, so please don't feel guilty for passing this by. But if you are inclined to help us get through the next few months, by donating or by sharing our fundraiser, I would be more grateful than I can express. I will be posting updates, photos, etc. on our Instagram page at nautilusmaine as we learn more, if anyone would like to follow along with what is hopefully the journey to rebuild her.

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Jonathan:  Captain, this truly is delicious.  I should love to have the recipe for my wife—

Nemo (offscreen):  May I ask what brought you three out so far from shore?

Panel 2

Jack: We were looking into some recent incidents.

Godfrey:  Yes, I imagine you’ve seen it in the papers!

Panel 3

Nemo:  I do not read “the papers,” I am afraid.  You see, my crew and I have cut off all contact with land. Tell me, what are these “incidents” of which you speak?

Panel 4

Jack: Well—

Jonathan: You see, some fishermen have reported taking in very strange catches lately. My wife takes an interest in strange happenings, and I help with her research.

Godfrey: Yyes, my wife works with Mr. Harker’s.

Panel 5

Jack: And my hu—my friends, as well.

Panel 6

Jonathan: Captain, you have been most gracious to us, but we are eager to return to our friends. They most likely think us dead. Where do you plan to take us ashore?

Panel 7

Nemo: Your directness is a credit to you. Very well, I will return in kind:

Panel 8

Nemo (offscreen): I am very sorry, Mr. Harker, but no one who sets foot on the Nautilus can ever be allowed to leave.

BEASTIE BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE WRAITH ANIMATIONS!!!!

"Leagues of Love: a Steampunk Dating Sim" is a romantic adventure based off of Jules Verne’s “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” and “The Mysterious Island,” with references to other works by the father of contemporary science fiction.

Play as a plucky adventurer out to seek her fortune— and find some romance along the way!

When your ship collides with a mysterious oceanic cryptid, your only hope of rescue comes from a handsome, brooding submarine Captain with a dark past. 

Thrust into an enclosed space within a weaponized scientific vessel along with a group of neurodivergent men (all of whom have acceptable hygiene practices), who could conceive a more promising environment in which for love to blossom?

Who will capture your heart?

Will it be the dignified and enigmatic Captain Nemo?

The curious and tender-hearted Professor Pierre Aronnax?

The Professor’s soft-spoken but fiercely loyal assistant, Conseil?

The petulant but courageous whaler, Ned Land?

Your objective is simply to spend time getting to know the characters in order to decide which one you might favor. You may interact with any of the characters as much or as little as you like while ultimately ending up with the man of your dreams — or perhaps instead of finding love, you will choose to simply become a Nautilus crew member. You may even find an opportunity to marry for money!

Along the way, you will unravel mysteries, fight sea monsters, explore uncharted territories and face natural hazards. 

If you should perchance meet your untimely demise, (you may brave human laws, but you cannot resist natural ones) you can select “Try again?” to backtrack to your last critical choice. 

Otherwise you can select “Start Over?” to restart the game from the beginning.

You determine your story’s narrative, and it may be different every time you play. Your own sublime destiny is up to you! 

MOBILIS IN MOBILI!

Sketch dump! I havent done one of those in a while. These are all from June-July while I was on vacation.

First we have Layal! The delightful Mother of Monsters, aka the Ghost Zone’s most evil mama bear AND my take on a fem!danyal dan! I like to imagine she could pummel Dan into the ground, but that stands true for any and all of my au Dans. Bc i am INCREDIBLY biased.

She mostly lives on her island in the Ghost Zone, taking in monsters of the Infinite Realms of all kind and raising them as her own. Surprisingly enough, she does genuinely love her children. That’s about where her love ends. She stole the minotaur, his name is Asterion.

Then we have Daini-Yel! He’s from an au i’ve never actually talked about on here. He’s literally just Danny for an Epic!-inspired au. He's an unknown entity in the newly released open-adventure, odyssesy-inspired game "Nautilus", and he is not a part of the game's code :). He showed up three months after the game's initial launch, and was discovered during a live when a streamer was on their way to fight a boss much similar to Circe and the streamer accidentally took a detour and found his pathway (of which did not previously exist).

He's very friendly! And offers you, the Captain, a strange liquid with even stranger powers called "Ektolai", in order to help you fight Circe. His whole vibe and creation is literally just the song "Wouldn't You Like" from Epic. If you run into him enough times at the start of the game, you can convince him to join you on your adventure as part of the crew. He's a powerful ally and a very good friend, despite his strange awareness of the world around him...

Oh, but be warned... just like the rest of your companions, your actions have consequences and what you do affects their opinion of you. Daini is no different! Your close allies can quickly become enemies.
