COMMENCE VOYAGE
Fun Fact: Did you know the Atlantic Ocean has a surface area of 41.1 million square miles? No reason.
...
There's something uneasy in the air as you come to.
Well, "come to" is an interesting word in this case. It implies waking up, which is not exactly what happens. None of you are in beds, nor are you really asleep in the traditional sense. One moment you're somewhere else, doing something else with your time, and the next? You're somewhere on board a massive cruise ship - maybe lounging on a deck chair by the pool, maybe getting some Gains in the exercise room, maybe enjoying the tasteful décor in the buffet - and you have no idea how you got here or how you might get back. This is not your beautiful house. If you have a beautiful wife, she isn't here.
What you do have, apart from 25 other unlucky souls, is a small smartphone-like device in your pocket with only a handful of things on it: a clock reading 11PM, a pdf of a ticket in your name on a special Atlantic Liners New Year's Eve Cruise, an app labeled Passenger Profiles with some basic information on your traveling companions, and a message:
Welcome aboard, passenger! Please feel free to partake of any of the facilities while you wait for the big event! Remember: when midnight comes, you better make your way to the theatre at the back of Level 1 for the main event! The Captain and the First Mate will be there to take care of you all personally, and to help you ring in the new year in style!
Well, that's a start. But what you do until then, it seems, is up to you!

Deck
...........
Flayn begins to also peek under chairs and tables after watching Sara for a minute or two.]
Excuse me, but what are we looking for?
[Flayn you don't just insert yourself into a situation like that]
no subject
...you haven't seen a doll, have you? Or even a little girl?
no subject
[Maybe they'll have better luck when it's light out...?]

no subject
[She looks out towards the ocean to indicate.]
But beyond that, I don't know.
no subject
How are we even here? Something like instant teleportation hasn't even been developed.
no subject
[There's a pause.]
There are spells that could move someone someplace, but...I was not near anyone who could do so, and they wouldn't be very far away if that was the case.
[Because why invent teleportation when you can magic it]
no subject
[She stares for a while, then looks away, shaking her head.]
...
no subject
[H
Hey wait where are you going]
no subject
[She stares out at the ocean, face setting almost emotionlessly.]
no subject
[Hugs herself a little.]
There are so many reasons why this cannot be. I was nowhere near the sea last I recall.
no subject
no subject
Test she knows, so Flayn's going to assume it was just a test and not anything weird and unfamiliar.]
As soon as it began, you were no longer there, is that correct? It is much the same for myself.
no subject
[She shakes her head; her shoulders slump a little.]
And you were doing something too, right?
no subject
[But this sure has gone on for longer than a moment, huh.]
no subject
I don't see anything. Just people and a party room, and these phones that don't match the rest of the technology here.
no subject

no subject
I...believe I shall have to take your word for it!

[But that's absolutely not a bad thing.]

[She shakes her head and begins to walk away. Guess that's that, then...]
no subject
Just gonna be confused and watch you leave. What did she do?]
