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!

Mm, yeah. It's all rather ridiculous. It's not even New Year's.

Anyway, Yeager will turn to greet Reika once he's done with that, and although he has already obtained More Party Poppers, he at least has the decorum not to start popping them all right now.]
They certainly do go all out in celebrating a new year, from the looks of it! I would have expected more alcohol, though.
[He's from the guilds, our way of partying absolutely involves booze.]
no subject
[He's nto here so he can be teased. It's fine.]
no subject
[that's. okay that's what this is now i guess???]
You can do it, Captain!
no subject
We believe in you, Captain! We have to be supportive of him in this journey, after all.

[apparently we're here to party so why not roll with it, i guess???]
no subject
[Gesturing at the poor soul that got a party popper in the face.]
no subject
[He is thankfully not popping another one but like. He's definitely considering it.]
no subject
[Supposedly. Who knows.]
no subject
[He will thankfully not pop this one at Reika, but he will absolutely pop it nearby. You probably won't get covered in confetti, at least.]
I eagerly await whatever party the Captain has in store for us~!
no subject
Speaking of which, I do hope our Captain will enlighten us on how he brought us here. I can't say I mind it but it's rather rude to bring people without asking.
no subject
[Sigh!! Oh well, nothing he can really do about that now!!]
no subject
I just want to know if I should thank or curse our dear Captain.

[And pop, there goes her own popper. She's not pointing it towards him at least.]
