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!

...Still, that. That right there is an excellent point and Plumeria looks to Lady Freyja with some definite concern.]
...Yeah, now that you mention it...I'm wondering that too. Do you think they might be aligned with Ljósálfheimr, then? Or...
[Perhaps another enemy is Plumeria's thought, but she doesn't finish it. Those damned humans--the ones who killed Lady Freyja. The thought of them sends a spike of something unpleasant through Plumeria.]
no subject
[She's quiet for a moment once that's out there, though.]
So many people brought here without choice or option... Most from different paths of life.
It seems almost like the work of a summoner, does it not?
no subject
Yeah. Yeah, it does. If anything could manage that sort of feat, it would be a summoner.
[...]
And it wouldn't be a far fetched assumption to say that it might have been Askr's, would it?
[It seems like the easiest place to pin blame, at this point, and boy is she already pissed at them for what happened.]
no subject
Askr's summoner is certainly one with the power to do something like this. Their power is certainly immense... If anything, I would be unsurprised if that summoner is one of the few who could manage it.
no subject
...Just what on earth would they have us do? Haven't they done enough and gotten what they wanted?
no subject
[To put it more gently than they deserve.]
If this is what we believe it to be, then we must absolutely ensure that they suffer due retribution for what they've done. I see no reason nor a need to offer them mercy.
