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!

[Reika is staying clear of any party poppers. The loud noises are... disconcerting right now but she smiles vaguely at some poor unfortunate victim of Yeager's.]

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

[rip to this poor person...

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.]

[personal profile] leaveittomother 2021-01-24 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
So would I. The cheap stuff at least. Maybe our Captain is on the wagon?

[He's nto here so he can be teased. It's fine.]

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-01-24 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, certainly nothing too nice. I suppose I can appreciate our Captain trying to stay sober!

[that's. okay that's what this is now i guess???]

You can do it, Captain!

[Okay, sure, why not.]

We believe in you, Captain! We have to be supportive of him in this journey, after all.
scythegun: (RELAXED ⇝ hahaha wow)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-01-24 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, absolutely! It's very important that we show our support in this trying time! I'm certain the Captain will be appreciative of our positivity!

[personal profile] leaveittomother 2021-01-24 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, exactly! I'm sure he'll be very happy. It's a bit of shame but I never was a huge drinker, anyway.
scythegun: (GREETING ⇝ guten tag motherfuckers)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-01-24 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
It will put a bit of a damper on the party, that's true, but I'm sure we will all have a fantastic time even without alcohol!

[apparently we're here to party so why not roll with it, i guess???]

[personal profile] leaveittomother 2021-01-24 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
You seem to be having one already.

[Gesturing at the poor soul that got a party popper in the face.]
scythegun: (DECISION ⇝ you're totally fucked)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-01-24 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Someone was kind enough to leave these out, might as well make use of them, ja~?

[He is thankfully not popping another one but like. He's definitely considering it.]
leaveittomother: (2)

[personal profile] leaveittomother 2021-01-24 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Might as well. It's supposed to be party after all.

[Supposedly. Who knows.]
scythegun: (COY ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-01-24 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Precisely~!

[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~!

[personal profile] leaveittomother 2021-01-24 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[She tries to step aside anyway. She picks one up--]

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.
scythegun: (INDIFFERENT ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-01-24 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Ja, agreed! I greatly would have preferred an invitation...

[Sigh!! Oh well, nothing he can really do about that now!!]
leaveittomother: (2)

[personal profile] leaveittomother 2021-01-24 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh well!!]

I just want to know if I should thank or curse our dear Captain.
scythegun: (NOD ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-01-24 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, that certainly is something important to know! But I imagine he won't keep us in suspense for too long - surely he's got some grand reveal planned for whatever it is he has in store for us!

[personal profile] leaveittomother 2021-01-25 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
I imagine it'll be some grand ceremony fitting for New Year's Eve.

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